The Important Details
The Season
Depending on the location, season is important, and both the Alps, the South of France, and Loire Valley have very distinct weather patterns. Let us know what you have in mind and we’ll help make suggestions about what will, and may not, work for the time of year.
The location
How do you see yourself getting married in France? Surrounded by stunning mountain peaks? Overlooking the sea? Bathed in golden sunlight in a Provencal vineyard? In a luxurious Renaissance chateau? The diversity of landscape in France is huge, so however you imagine your day, let us know and we’ll get creative for you.
The Venue
Traditional, rustic, formal, relaxed, unusual … where will you and your guests feel comfortable and best enjoy sharing your wedding day? Do you imagine a gorgeous historically rich chateau, a contemporary restaurant, a cliff top outdoor champagne reception, laid back drinks and dancing, or a roaring log fire surrounded by snowy peaks? Let us know what surroundings you’d like for your wedding day and we’ll do the leg work! We can either recommend a tried and tested venue (popular by proven success!) or hunt down the perfect original setting for your day.
The Numbers
How many people do you want to share your day with? Weekend weddings with a select few are becoming increasingly popular, but the traditional ‘do’ with 100 to 120 guests is still the favourite. We can go as big or as bold as you like!
The Duration
A wedding in France will require your guests to travel, so many couples who get married abroad choose to line up social events spanning two days or a weekend. Perhaps you’d like to have a champagne dinner with your girlfriends the night before, or an evening ‘en famille’ with both sets of parents? Pre-wedding activities in your chosen area – wine tasting, a day on the slopes, a swim in the sea? Chateau visits, or trips to local markets? Maybe even some rock-climbing or water-skiing? Why not postpone your departure until the following day and enjoy spending time with your family and friends for that bit longer? A breakfast brunch the following day, or a barbeque in the sun … before being waved off in style as a newly married couple!
