Planning Your South of France Château Wedding: What to Know?
When to Book Your Venue
Châteaux in the South of France are some of the most coveted wedding venues in Europe. To secure the perfect estate (whether in Provence, Bordeaux, or along the Riviera) it’s wise to reserve 12 to 18 months ahead. Early planning not only guarantees availability but also gives you ample time to fine-tune every detail, from seasonal menus to guest accommodations.
Legal vs. Symbolic Ceremonies
French law requires civil ceremonies to take place at the local town hall (mairie), which is often impractical for international couples. That’s why most choose a symbolic ceremony at their château, creating a truly romantic and personalized celebration in gardens, vineyards, or grand reception halls. Many couples complete the legal formalities in their home country, then enjoy the château as the setting for their unforgettable vows.
Recommended Partners (Planners, Chefs, and More)
A château wedding shines when supported by the right team. Local wedding planners ensure seamless coordination, while renowned chefs and caterers showcase the best of French gastronomy. Talented photographers, musicians, florists, and transport providers elevate the event, ensuring every moment is perfectly orchestrated. With trusted partners, your wedding flows effortlessly while reflecting your vision.
