Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Cost: Pricing, Capacity & Everything to Know
Planning a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc wedding? Explore estimated costs, buyout requirements, guest capacity, accommodations, wedding spaces, and everything to know before booking.


Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is one of the most iconic wedding venues on the French Riviera—and arguably one of the most legendary luxury wedding hotels in Europe.
Set on 22 waterfront acres in Antibes, the historic palace hotel combines manicured gardens, a private Mediterranean coastline, grand event spaces, and more than a century of Riviera glamour.
For larger weddings, couples can even buy out the entire hotel, giving guests private use of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and allowing music and dancing to continue throughout the night.
But how much does a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc wedding cost?
The hotel does not publicly publish standard wedding package pricing. Based on the scale of the property, accommodation requirements, exclusive-use structure, and luxury level of weddings held here, our estimated total cost is approximately €180,000–€400,000+.
For elaborate multi-day celebrations, that figure could climb even higher.
Here's what to know about Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc wedding pricing, guest capacity, accommodation, buyout requirements, event spaces, and planning logistics before booking.
How Much Does a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Cost?
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc does not publish a standard venue fee or wedding package price on its public wedding materials.
Our estimated total budget for a wedding here is approximately:
€180,000–€400,000+
depending on guest count, accommodation, date, catering, production, florals, entertainment, and whether you are hosting an exclusive hotel buyout.
This should be treated as a planning estimate, not an official quote from Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
The biggest factor is the format of your wedding.
The hotel offers two substantially different options:
- Intimate weddings for approximately 40–100 guests
- Exclusive hotel buyouts for weddings of 100+ guests
A 60-person celebration using the Eden-Roc Lounge and booking the required room block will have a very different cost from a 200-person wedding requiring exclusive use of the entire hotel.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Buyout Requirements
For weddings of 100 guests or more, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc requires a minimum two-night full hotel buyout.
An exclusive wedding buyout includes access to the hotel's full inventory of 109 keys, including Villa Les Cèdres, according to the hotel's current wedding information.
The entire hotel team is dedicated to the wedding during the buyout.
Most importantly for couples planning a real party:
Dancing and music are permitted all night during an exclusive wedding buyout.
That is a significant advantage compared with many luxury European wedding venues where noise restrictions force celebrations to end around midnight.
Because you're effectively taking over one of the French Riviera's most exclusive hotels for multiple nights, accommodation becomes a major component of the total wedding budget.
Couples considering the buyout option should request a detailed proposal covering:
- Two-night accommodation buyout
- Venue and event spaces
- Food and beverage
- Staffing
- Ceremony setup
- Reception
- Late-night party
- Additional wedding events
- Taxes and service charges
What About a Smaller Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding?
You don't necessarily need to buy out the entire hotel.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc also offers an intimate wedding option for approximately 40–100 guests.
The centerpiece is the Eden-Roc Lounge, an outdoor space perched above the Eden-Roc Pavilion with panoramic views across the Mediterranean.
For this wedding format, the hotel requires a minimum of 20 rooms for a two-night stay, with the exact requirement depending on the date and number of wedding guests.
After the outdoor celebration, dancing and soft musical entertainment can continue in the Iles de Lerins Ballroom until 1:00 AM.
For couples who love Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc but aren't planning a 150- or 200-person celebration, this offers a more intimate way to get married at the property without taking over the entire hotel.
How Many Guests Can Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Hold?
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc can host wedding receptions of approximately 450 guests, making it one of the larger luxury wedding venues on the French Riviera.
But capacity depends heavily on the specific event space and wedding format.
For intimate weddings:
Eden-Roc Lounge: approximately 40–100 guests
For larger celebrations:
Exclusive hotel weddings: 100+ guests, with the property's event capacity reaching approximately 450
Always ask for capacity by specific space and setup rather than relying on the hotel's maximum event capacity.
A ceremony, cocktail reception, seated dinner, and standing afterparty may all have different limits.
Can Guests Stay at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc?
Yes—and accommodation is a major part of the wedding experience here.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc offers rooms, suites, and private villas across the property.
For exclusive weddings of 100+ guests, the hotel currently requires a two-night buyout covering 109 keys, including Villa Les Cèdres.
For intimate weddings of 40–100 guests, the minimum starts at 20 rooms for two nights, depending on the date and number of guests.
That makes Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc particularly appealing for a destination wedding because the wedding isn't simply happening at a venue where everyone arrives for six hours.
Your closest guests can spend several days together at the property.
When Can You Have a Wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc?
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc currently lists wedding availability during:
April through May
and
mid-September through mid-October
This is important if the hotel is high on your venue list.
Unlike many French Riviera venues with broader wedding calendars, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc limits wedding availability to specific periods around its core season.
Couples with a specific year or weekend in mind should inquire early, particularly for larger buyouts.
What Is a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Like?
The appeal of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is its combination of a grand European palace hotel and a Mediterranean resort.
The hotel dates to 1870 and sits within expansive gardens on a private stretch of coastline in Antibes.
Instead of choosing one visual identity for your wedding, the property gives you several.
You can have a formal garden ceremony, cocktails overlooking the Mediterranean, dinner surrounded by historic Riviera architecture, and a late-night ballroom party without leaving the hotel.
For destination weddings, that ability to create multiple distinct events within one property is a major advantage.
Wedding Ceremony in the Grande Allée
For an exclusive hotel buyout, couples can hold their ceremony in the Grande Allée, one of Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc's signature wedding settings.
The long garden aisle creates an exceptionally grand ceremony entrance framed by mature trees and the grounds of the historic hotel.
It's the setting most associated with larger Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc weddings and works especially well for couples looking for a formal, timeless French Riviera aesthetic.
Because the landscape itself creates such a dramatic setting, the space can work with both elaborate floral installations and comparatively restrained design.
Eden-Roc Lounge Wedding Ceremony
For intimate weddings of 40–100 guests, the Eden-Roc Lounge provides a completely different backdrop.
Set above the Eden-Roc Pavilion, the outdoor venue looks across the Mediterranean and puts the sea at the center of the ceremony.
This is particularly appealing for couples who want Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc because of the Côte d'Azur setting rather than the formal palace gardens.
The hotel specifically positions the space for intimate wedding ceremonies of up to approximately 100 guests.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Reception
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a palace hotel rather than an event-only estate is the range of reception spaces available.
Depending on the wedding format, events can move between the gardens, outdoor waterfront spaces, lounges, and indoor ballrooms.
For smaller weddings, the evening can transition into the Iles de Lerins Ballroom, where dancing and soft entertainment are permitted until 1:00 AM.
For exclusive hotel buyouts, the rules become considerably more flexible, with music and dancing permitted throughout the night.
That gives larger weddings the option to create a true late-night destination wedding rather than compressing the entire celebration into a strict evening window.
Does Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Have a Wedding Curfew?
It depends on the wedding format.
For the hotel's intimate wedding option, dancing and soft musical entertainment can continue in the Iles de Lerins Ballroom until 1:00 AM.
For an exclusive hotel wedding buyout, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc states that dancing and music are permitted all night.
For couples who consider the afterparty an important part of their wedding, this distinction may justify the cost and logistics of an exclusive buyout.
Always confirm current entertainment policies for your date and contract before booking.
What Is the Food Like at a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding?
Food is another major part of the experience.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc creates bespoke wedding menus through its culinary team, with Michelin-starred Chef Sébastien Broda overseeing the wedding dining experience.
Pastry Chef Tarek Ahamada can also create a personalized wedding cake.
Rather than choosing from a simple standardized wedding menu, couples can work with the culinary team to create a menu tailored to the celebration.
For budget planning, ask specifically about:
- Cocktail-hour pricing
- Dinner menu pricing
- Wine pairing
- Open bar
- Champagne
- Wedding cake
- Late-night food
- Welcome dinner
At this level of venue, food and beverage can become one of the largest components of the total wedding cost.
Does Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Have a Rain Backup?
Yes.
As a full luxury hotel, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc has indoor event spaces that can support celebrations when weather makes an outdoor ceremony or reception impossible.
This is particularly important on the French Riviera, where many of the most beautiful wedding settings are outdoors.
Before booking, ask to see the exact rain plan for your guest count.
For a larger wedding, you want to understand whether the indoor backup can accommodate the same seated dinner setup—and whether you actually like the Plan B as much as the outdoor plan.
Can You Host a Multi-Day Wedding at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc?
Absolutely—and this is probably how the venue makes the most sense.
Because larger weddings already require a two-night hotel buyout, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc naturally lends itself to a destination wedding weekend.
Depending on your package and proposal, couples could potentially build a weekend around:
Welcome cocktails or rehearsal dinner
Wedding ceremony and reception
Late-night afterparty
Farewell breakfast, brunch, or pool day
With guests already staying at the hotel, you're also reducing one of the biggest headaches of destination weddings: transporting everyone between multiple hotels and event venues.
Ask the hotel which spaces can be used for additional events and whether those events carry separate venue or food-and-beverage minimums.
Where Is Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc?
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is located in Antibes on the French Riviera, between Cannes and Nice.
Its location gives couples access to some of the Côte d'Azur's most famous destinations while keeping the wedding itself secluded within the hotel's private grounds.
That makes it possible to build a larger destination itinerary around the celebration, including time in Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco, or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
For international guests, the French Riviera is also relatively straightforward to reach through Nice Côte d'Azur Airport.
What Makes Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Different?
There are beautiful French Riviera wedding venues.
And then there is Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
What separates it isn't one particular ceremony terrace or ballroom. It's the combination of:
Historic palace hotel
Private Mediterranean coastline
22 acres of landscaped grounds
Accommodation on-site
Large wedding capacity
Exclusive hotel buyout
All-night music with a buyout
Michelin-level culinary program
Over a century of Riviera history
For couples seeking a true luxury destination wedding rather than simply renting a beautiful venue, that complete experience is the appeal.
Who Is Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Best For?
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is particularly suited to:
- Ultra-luxury destination weddings
- French Riviera weddings
- Couples hosting 100+ guests
- Multi-day wedding weekends
- Couples who want guests staying on-site
- Formal garden weddings
- Mediterranean waterfront weddings
- Weddings where food and service are major priorities
- Couples who want a late-night party
- Large celebrations requiring substantial hotel infrastructure
The intimate wedding format also makes it possible for couples with approximately 40–100 guests to use the property without requiring a complete hotel buyout.
It is less suited to couples prioritizing budget flexibility or a casual villa-style wedding.

What Does a Full Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Wedding Cost?
Our estimated total cost for a Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc wedding is approximately €180,000–€400,000+.
But there is no single meaningful number without knowing the wedding format.
For an intimate wedding, your budget may include:
20+ hotel rooms for two nights
plus
ceremony + reception + catering + drinks + planning + production + flowers + entertainment
For 100+ guests, you're starting with:
a two-night full hotel buyout
before accounting for the wedding events themselves.
A highly produced three-day celebration with luxury décor, entertainment, custom production, and additional events could exceed the upper end of our range.
That's why we'd use €180,000–€400,000+ as a shortlisting benchmark, then request an actual proposal based on your date and guest count.

Our Take on Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is not simply a wedding venue.
It's the kind of property couples choose when they want the entire destination wedding to feel like an event.
The Grande Allée creates the formal palace ceremony. The Mediterranean coastline gives you the Riviera. The hotel gives your closest guests somewhere to stay. And with an exclusive buyout, the celebration can continue long after many European wedding venues would have shut the party down.
The tradeoff is obvious: price.
With an estimated total wedding budget of €180,000–€400,000+, and a two-night full-hotel buyout required for weddings of 100 guests or more, this is firmly an ultra-luxury wedding venue.
But for couples with the budget who want one of the French Riviera's most iconic settings, few venues offer the same combination of history, service, scenery, accommodation, and scale.
