We probably don’t need to convince you that Provence is magical. The region delivers sunny, blue skies, fabulous landscapes, delicious food and world-class wine. However, flawless weddings in Provence require experts who speak the language and can create magic. No matter how beautiful the bride and charming the groom, dream weddings do not happen on their own. With many moving parts (venue, food, guest lists, flowers, etc.), every wedding requires teamwork and planning. A destination wedding adds more layers of complexity and a real need to understand the region. So the most common scenario is that you have a simple, civil marriage at home to get the legalities done, and come to France to celebrate with friends and family. You can then have some form of non-religious ceremony, like a wedding blessing, which would either take place in a house or hotel you are renting or in a beautiful setting that is geared towards marriage celebrations.
