Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat wedding cost

Four Seasons does not publish wedding pricing, and we would rather give you the shape than a number we cannot stand behind.

Weddings are quoted per head around a four-course dinner package, built with the hotel's team. Catering is in-house and led by Michelin-starred chef Yoric Tièche, so food and beverage is a fixed line you build around rather than shop. Accommodation sits on top, and a full-hotel privatisation is a separate, much larger figure. For a real number, the hotel's wedding team is the only reliable source, and we can tell you where a wedding of your size tends to land once we know it.

Wet weather plan at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

Solid, and it does not shrink the day. The Salon Ferrat seats 100 and the Rotonde another 100, so a rained-out dinner moves indoors without dropping guests. Only the ceremony and cocktails are truly exposed, and the covered salons sit steps from the gardens. The cape is settled for much of the season, but a spring or late-autumn date is worth planning the cover for early.

Imposed suppliers at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

Catering and beverage are in-house, led by the Michelin-starred kitchen, and are not open to an outside caterer. Floristry, production and entertainment run through the hotel's own team and its partner list. This is standard for a palace at this level, and the good Riviera planners already know the house and its partners. The one budget point: food and beverage is a fixed in-house quote.

Getting to Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

Nice Côte d'Azur airport is about 20 minutes by car, which makes this one of the most reachable palace venues on the coast for a guest list flying in. Monaco is roughly 20 minutes east. Private transfers are arranged through the Concierge. Confirm your drive time with the hotel for your date, since the coast road in season does not behave like a map.

Spaces and capacity at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

Numbers below are the hotel's own published event capacities.

  • Club Dauphin (outdoor, 272 m²): the sea-level pool club, 120 seated or 200 reception. The signature dinner-and-dancing setting, on the water.

  • Les Jardins Volupté (outdoor, 310 m²): garden space under the pines, 200 reception. The natural ceremony and cocktail setting.

  • Terrasse Panoramique (outdoor, upper 450 m² and lower 300 m²): panoramic terraces above the sea, up to 100 seated.

  • Salon Ferrat (indoor, 145 m²): the largest salon, 100 seated or 165 reception. The elegant-salon option and the rain plan.

  • La Rotonde (indoor, 105 m²): 100 seated, a rounded indoor room for dinner.

En résumé: your celebration lives outdoors at Club Dauphin and in the gardens, with the Salon Ferrat holding the same crowd under cover if the weather turns.

Questions couples ask about Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat

How many guests can you have at a Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat wedding?

Around 120 seated for dinner at Club Dauphin, the sea-level pool club, or 200 standing. Indoors, the Salon Ferrat seats 100. Larger weddings are possible only by spreading the evening across the gardens and terraces with a full-hotel privatisation.

How much does a wedding at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat cost?

The hotel does not publish wedding pricing. Weddings are quoted per head around a four-course dinner package built with the hotel's team, with in-house Michelin catering and accommodation on top. A full-hotel privatisation is a separate, larger figure. The wedding team gives the real number.

How do you book a wedding at Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat?

Through the hotel's own team, who plan the event end to end. Enquiries go to the events and catering team directly, at catering.ghf.dst@fourseasons.com, or by phone on +33 (0)4 93 76 50 50. Settle your guest count early, since it decides whether the wedding sits in the standard spaces or needs a privatisation, and that changes both the dates available and the budget. Even with the hotel handling logistics, we would still bring in a high-end wedding planner: at this level the value is in design, guest experience and the judgment calls on the day, not in vendor wrangling.

Where is Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, and how do you get there?

On the cape of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, on the French Riviera between Nice and Monaco. Nice Côte d'Azur airport is about 20 to 25 minutes by car, Monaco around 20 minutes east, and Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild a few minutes away.
