Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely! Most of our couples are traveling from abroad—the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and countries across Europe and Asia. We're experienced in planning destination weddings for couples who aren't based in France and make the process seamless through video consultations, digital planning tools, and expert local coordination.

  • We recommend reaching out 12-18 months before your wedding date, though we can occasionally accommodate shorter timelines. We limit ourselves to 4-6 weddings per year to provide exceptional service to each couple, so early booking is essential.

  • We plan weddings throughout Provence and the South of France, including popular wedding destinations like Aix-en-Provence, Avignon, Gordes, Luberon, Roussillon, Les Alpilles, Lourmarin, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and the French Riviera. We're familiar with venues across the entire region.

  • Our specialty is full-service planning and design, but we're happy to discuss custom packages for partial planning based on your specific needs. However, we unfortunately don not provide coordination services alone.
