There are some wedding venues I can return to again and again and never get bored with the place. Castelnau des Fieumarcon near Lectoure in the Gers, South West France is such a place. It’s not just the place, but the people that work there who make it all happen such as Anneli,…
Another gorgeous late Summer/early Autumn day for Sarah & James’s Le Chateau Charmant wedding. One of THREE weddings that they had! Why 3? Well Sarah is British, James is American…though now has an Australian passport also and the couple live in Australia. So one wedding in Oz, one in France (in the middle)…
Kirsten & Richard’s Domaine de Blanche Fleur wedding took place at this beautifully converted former mill near Avignon, Provence. Actually, the nearest location is Chateauneuf-de-Gadagne…but more people have heard of Avignon! Which is well worth a visit for a day if you can get around the terrible traffic. Arrive and leave by boat…
Katrina & Adam’s wedding took place at the historic Chateau D’Urval (previously known as Chateau de la Bourlie). This historic venue is set in a beautiful landscape in the Dordgone region of France. It was the 1st September and there was just the beginning of those first signs of Autumn. The leaves beginning…
Anna & Sam’s Manoir Wedding France took place on the 18th August at the little gem that is the Manoir de la Foulquetiere. It’s difficult to use a single word to describe any wedding day but the one I shall use for this is ‘lively’! The day began with the usual prep before…
It was another one of those days when the weather forecast did not look like the greatest…but was actually just fine. Even August in the Dordogne sometimes gives us these wobbles! Laura & Paul traveled from Northern Ireland (home country) via Bermuda (work & live country) to France and the ‘Fairytale Chateau’ for…
Daniel & Stephen’s Chateau Wedding France July 21st was the date. Chateau de Lisse the venue. Sunny was the weather. We started the day prior with a ‘meet & greet’ and BBQ for guests arriving mostly from the UK. The weather wasn’t ideal, but as above, for the main event, it was! Daniel…
G’day. I didn’t realise that Clare & Andrew were Aussies until I met them the day prior. A London address caused me to make assumptions. But upon meeting them, like 50% of the London, Aussies! The location for this weekend’s wedding was Le Chateau Charmant and was my second of three visits this…
Where to start… The weather I think. Hot. Blazing hot. It probably did not get past 35 degrees C, but when you are out in it all day long, that’s more than enough. This was my first visit to The Majestic Chateau and it has instantly become one of my favourites. One thing…
When you choose to get married in South West France, the one thing you expect is sunshine. At least if you choose to get married May-Sep. OK, May was a bit ‘off’ this year, but since early June, it’s been mostly wall to wall sunshine with just the occasional dramatic storm. And so…
Minnie & Nick – The Village Wedding at Castelnau des Fieumarcon. ‘The Wedding Village’ as it is known is just that, an entire village. Just for you! It currently sleeps around 80 in something like 15 hours and has no other residents other than the custodians who also run the weddings that take…
I’m not really the kind of person who goes around patting myself on the back. Really, I don’t. But then sometimes you just have to say, “yes, I had a pretty good day at the office”. With Chloe and Ryan’s wedding at Chateau de Lisse, I had a FANTASTIC day at the office.…
