Few settings in France carry the weight of Versailles. For a corporate dinner, the palace offers an unmatched backdrop: gilded rooms, candlelit terraces and the gardens after dark, in a setting that guests remember long after the event. Private dinners are hosted in reserved halls of the domain, with the menu, service and décor designed around your group.
Because the palace is a national monument with a demanding conservation policy, every event is subject to the domain's rules and calendar. The Galerie des Glaces and the state apartments are not always available for private use. We confirm the exact venue, the guided access and the capacity with the domain before any commitment is made.
The dinner can be preceded by a private guided visit of the palace or the Trianon estate, and followed by a return to Paris by private coach.

Good to know
- Dates and rooms depend on the domain's events calendar, including state and cultural programmes; we cannot guarantee a given evening.
- Dress code is usually semi-formal or formal; we advise you to share it with guests in advance.
- Fountain shows and night events in the gardens are seasonal and depend on the domain's programme.
- Allow generous time for security and access, especially for larger groups.

Frequently asked questions
Can we dine in the Hall of Mirrors?
Not always. The Hall of Mirrors and the state apartments are subject to the palace's own conservation and event rules. We check availability with the domain and propose alternative private halls where needed.
Is the dinner suitable for a group of 100 or more?
Yes, for suitable halls and dates. Larger groups may require a split across two rooms or a seated buffet format. We confirm capacity and layout with the domain before any commitment.
How far ahead should we book?
Plan at least six months ahead for a Versailles dinner, and longer for autumn and December dates, which are the most in demand. Early enquiry gives the best choice of halls and dates.
