Receptions

Chateau de Canisy is an intimate and lovable place that is ideal for friendly meetings of small groups of around 20 to 30 guests. They will benefit from its exclusivity in order to share unforgettable moments. The ultimate is to get together for two to three days, or more, in order to celebrate a family and/or a personal event. Thus young brides from all around the world (California or even Australia) have decided to transport family and friends to Canisy to celebrate their marriage. Families have chosen Canisy to celebrate an important anniversary and sometimes close friends decide to share this place for a few days just for the sake of spending some good time there together, including their children of course.
