Our Story

Written in the Stars

Seraphine and Caspian
— Lac Léman, Summer 2024 —
  1. 2019

    The Amphitheatre

    A midsummer concert in an open-air amphitheatre, the last light going off the lake. Seraphine noticed the tall stranger with the constellation inked on his wrist. Caspian noticed the woman whose laughter carried further than the orchestra. The music finished without either of them noticing.

  2. 2020

    Letters Across the Lake

    When the world paused, they wrote. Handwritten letters on midnight-blue stationery, sealed with wax, exchanged across Lake Geneva. Eighty-seven letters in ten months. She still has every one.

  3. 2022

    The First Trip to the Stars

    A rented cabin above Montreux with a glass roof, a bottle of Gamaret, and the clearest sky either had ever seen. They traced constellations until dawn and decided they would build a life together.

  4. 2025

    The Question

    It was the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Caspian led her back to the same cabin, the same glass roof. The ring caught the starlight before she even saw it. She said yes before he finished asking.

  5. 2027

    The Vow

    And now, on the longest day of the year, beneath a sky the two of them have been reading together for eight years, surrounded by every soul who shaped their story, they will speak the words aloud. The stars have been waiting.

Access & Comfort

Everyone Reaches the Terrace

The château is grand, but nothing about the evening is out of reach. Here is exactly what to expect.

  • Step-free entry

    The east courtyard entrance is step-free from the drive into The Celestine Hall, and a lift carries you up to the Starlight Terrace. The grand front stair can be skipped entirely.

  • Seating

    Seating is set for the whole ceremony, and chairs with backs and armrests are held at the rear of the hall and at the terrace edge. Tell any attendant and they will walk you over.

  • Accessible restroom

    Off the Celestine Hall foyer beside the cloakroom, on the same level as the ceremony. A second one is on the terrace level, reached by the lift.

  • Parking & drop-off

    Cars and the Grand Hôtel shuttle pull into the east courtyard, about 20 metres (65 feet) from the hall doors and level the whole way. Accessible spaces are marked closest to the entrance.

  • Underfoot

    • Cobblestone
    • Stone

    The courtyard is cobblestone. It's genuinely uneven, so cross it slowly or on someone's arm. Inside is polished stone and the terrace is smooth tile, both flat. Narrow heels catch on the cobbles.

If anything here would make your evening easier, write to us at hello@seraphineandcaspian.com. Nothing is a bother.

What will you dance to beneath the stars?

Our DJ has a list. It is not a long list, and it is only about half good. Your votes, your ballads, and your unhinged 2 AM choices make it complete.
