We produce three to five Provence weddings a year, with a repeat producer based in Aix and a tested supplier roster running from Lourmarin to Gordes. The brief lands in London; the wedding is in France; the team is the same on both ends.
Late May through mid-September (avoiding mid-July to mid-August heat)
2 hour flight to Marseille; 1 hour drive into the Luberon
Provence weddings work because the region rewards the things weddings are good at: long lunches outdoors, the right wine, a slowly-built afternoon, a guest list that travels because they want to. The constraints — getting 150 people to and from a private estate, dealing with French supplier logistics from the UK, and the licensing differences between a civil ceremony and a symbolic ceremony — are exactly what an experienced destination planner handles invisibly.
Estates we've produced in: Château La Coste outside Aix, two private mas in the Luberon, a vineyard estate in the Côtes de Provence appellation, and a villa above Cassis with a view we still think about. The strongest Provence weddings we've planned ran across three days: welcome dinner Friday at a long table outdoors, ceremony and reception Saturday at the estate, lazy lunch Sunday at a smaller villa with the inner ring.
We work in French and English, contract suppliers in both jurisdictions, and handle the marriage logistics whether you're having a UK civil ceremony before or a symbolic ceremony only in France. Travel for the planning team is included in the destination fee — we'll be in Provence three times before the wedding, not once.
