Weddings

A Fairytale Château Wedding

Every wedding is unique and every couple has their own special vision. It is absolutely personal and one of the most important days of your life! I work closely with the Château de Bourneau and the venue is absolutely magical, with its wonderful history and chic elegance.

The castle has a beautiful courtyard surrounded by a moat where the bridge leads into the rose garden - perfect for the ceremony, the champagne reception or even the wedding breakfast. Depending on your needs, I also work with various other châteaux to find the very best venue for your budget, position and guests.

You may think you don't need a wedding planner, but I don't know how we would have managed without Emily and her team. Above all, it was Emily's experience that counted. Thanks to Emily, the day was memorable for all the right reasons - full of joy from start to finish. The best day of our lives.

Getting married in France was a dream, as well as scary. Emily made the whole process feel safe and stress free. She had great contacts for our fairytale venue, flowers, hair, make-up and cake. We have no hesitation in recommending her as your wedding planner for your dream day. Thank you Emily.

Our Menus

Our menus let you cater for your guests across the whole weekend - a relaxed BBQ-style Friday evening by the pool or orangerie, tasty canapés under the dappled sunlight of the oak trees, and a memorable three-course wedding breakfast in the courtyard of the château itself.

Why not add late-night sharing boards of fabulous local cheese and charcuterie? Finishing with a laid-back brunch on Sunday is a wonderful way to reflect on your weekend. The menus are flexible and we can design bespoke dishes to meet your needs.

Accommodation

The venues I work with offer beautiful accommodation, particularly the Château de Bourneau which sleeps 50 people over four holiday cottages with their own pool and a lovely honeymoon suite. It's a lovely addition to your package to be able to accommodate the majority of your guests on site.

The number of guests is a key part of choosing your venue - some can host up to 400 people while others offer more intimate spaces. They are all beautiful and unique in their own special ways, and I can help you find the perfect venue and accommodation within budget.

I can't wait to work with you
