A Luxury Wedding at The Margaux: The Perfect Fresno Luxury Venue

If you’re dreaming of a luxury wedding at The Margaux, you’re in for something truly elevated. Nestled in Madera on a sweeping 40-acre property, The Margaux blends modern white-barn elegance with spacious outdoor areas and sweeping architectural lines. It’s fast become one of the most coveted Fresno wedding venues for couples seeking refined, boutique charm in the Central Valley. The Margaux

As a Fresno wedding photographer, I’m always on the lookout for venues that offer both beauty and flexibility. The Margaux delivers on both counts: bright interiors, dramatic ceremony spaces, refined finishing touches, and room for creative storytelling.

Let me walk you through how it all came together for Paige & Cole’s wedding—and why The Margaux deserves a spot at the top of your venue shortlist.

Why Choose The Margaux for Your Fresno Wedding Venue

• Modern White-Barn Aesthetic + Boutique Luxury
  Unlike traditional barns, The Margaux stands out with crisp lines, white exteriors, and contemporary touches that feel fresh yet timeless.
• Convenient Location & Expansive Grounds
  The venue sits at 39588 Avenue 14, Madera, CA, just a short drive from Fresno and surrounding communities. It offers multiple zones—verandas, courtyards, indoor/outdoor flow—which is ideal for couples who want to mix ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception without feeling cramped.
• Transparent Rental & Inclusions
  The Margaux’s current rate is roughly $10,500 per event for full Saturday rental, with some access on Friday for setup. The fee includes the ceremony + reception space, dressing suites, staff support, and venue amenities. Keep in mind some vendors (catering, entertainment, bartenders) may need to be booked from their preferred list.
• Emerging Venue with Heart & Vision
  The Margaux was founded by Lara Perez and her husband to bring refined wedding options closer to home in Madera. It was designed to fill a gap—a modern, boutique, locally rooted venue in the Valley rather than driving to the Bay Area or foothills.

Paige & Cole’s Luxury Wedding at The Margaux

One of my favorite weddings of the season was Paige & Cole’s celebration at The Margaux. Their wedding day embodied elegance, joy, and intentional design—and it’s a beautiful case study in how to maximize this venue.

The Vision & Style

• Their color palette was classic black and white—sharp, timeless, and dramatic.
• They opted for no first look, choosing instead to preserve the moment of seeing each other for the first time during the aisle walk. That choice created powerful emotional moments I was honored to capture.
• Their bridal party was large, which meant we carefully planned group portraits, timing, and transitions so no one felt rushed or left out.
• For dinner, rather than a formal plated meal, they embraced an al fresco, casual luxe vibe and served wood fire pizza outdoors under string lights. The relaxed yet elevated feel was perfect for their personalities and for the open layout at The Margaux.

Flow of the Day

• Ceremony took place outdoors, framed by the open sky and minimalist florals that let the architecture breathe.
• Cocktail hour happened inside the main hall, allowing guests to mingle while enjoying dusk light and venue views.
• The reception was outdoors under market lighting with long tables, and lounge accents.

Photography Highlights

• The black and white contrast played beautifully in both color and black & white edits, giving elegant tonal range.
• The lack of first look heightened emotional candids during the ceremony moment.
• Large bridal party photos were composed to use venue lines—barn façade, aisle, architecture—to maintain balance and flow.
