Destination Wedding Planning Tips
Book your vendors early
French wedding venues and top photographers book 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for summer weddings in Provence and the Riviera.
Consider the season
May through October offers the best weather for outdoor ceremonies. September and early October are particularly magical with warm light and fewer crowds.
Think about legalities
Getting legally married in France requires residency. Many international couples have a civil ceremony at home and a symbolic ceremony in France.
Hire a bilingual wedding planner
A local wedding planner who speaks your language and French will be invaluable for vendor coordination, venue visits, and day-of logistics.
Plan a wedding weekend
Many destination weddings extend over two or three days with welcome dinners, exploration tours, and farewell brunches. We offer multi-day coverage packages.
