Weddings in France
The French Riviera, or Côte d'Azur, as they say in French, is known around the world for its incomparable beauty, historic venues, and romantic settings. It's like living in a Grace Kelly movie: the charm, the elegance, and the glamour of yesteryear. Besides: who hasn't dreamt of visiting France at least once in their lifetime? The food is unrivalled, the venues are magnificent, and all in all it makes for a magical experience for the couple, their families and their guests. 

 

Why the land of romance,

haute couture and

impressionist paintings

makes for the perfect

beginning

for married life.

What’s so special about the South of France?

The French Riviera, or Côte d’Azur, as they say in French, is known around the world for its incomparable beauty, historic venues, and romantic settings. It’s like living in a Grace Kelly movie: the charm, the elegance, and the glamour of yesteryear. Besides: who hasn’t dreamt of visiting France at least once in their lifetime? The food is unrivalled, the venues are magnificent, and all in all it makes for a magical experience for the couple, their families and their guests.

Great Weather!

We boast 300 days of sun a year, which also allows for a pleasant experience for your guests, who might be turning your wedding into a little mini-vacation. Not to mention the benefit of having great natural light for all those photographs you plan on taking. Just think: there is a good reason all of those impressionist painters chose to create their masterpieces in the South of France!”

Destination Wedding in Europe: The South of France is known for its natural beauty. Many of the outdoor settings I propose can be suitable for garden weddings, and which even permits some savings on the floral bills, since there are already so many flowers on the property.

Private Villas

Some of our couples choose one of the many private villas which are for rent. Luckily for me, many villa owners buy their properties as investments, so they do not necessarily live there all year-round. The benefit of a villa is that you get to create a whole “wedding headquarters” for yourselves and end up saving on hotel bills, since many of them include accommodation for your family.

Luxury yachts anyone?

Renting a boat can also be a great option, depending on your budget. In fact, thanks to the recession quite a few good deals can be found out there. Who knows? Maybe this is a good time to get the deal of the century on a luxury yacht. Can’t you imagine yourself saying “I do” on deck, overlooking the bright blue Mediterranean waters, sipping champagne and surrounded by your friends and family?

I think that one of our strong points is our ability to find one-of-a-kind venues which fit each individual couple perfectly. Part of my job as a wedding planner is to ensure that the venue will match what they are looking for. Often this means a tireless effort of canvassing a whole array of options, but in the end it is always worth it. In fact, more often than not, the couple will know when they visit the perfect venue – it is a kind of “gut feeling.” So what we do is just continue visiting venues, until they get that feeling!”
