France Wedding & Elopement Packages
Elopements • Micro Weddings • Vow Renewals
Elope in France — Chic, Glamorous Tailor-Made Ceremonies
Dreaming of eloping in France? From the streets of Paris to the sun-drenched Côte d’Azur, France gives you the most romantic backdrop for an elopement, a destination wedding or a vow renewal.
The French je-ne-sais-quoi — stunning architecture, laid-back cafés, an artistic atmosphere — turns a simple ceremony into something you will keep telling people about.

Why Get Married in France
Whether you plan an intimate elopement for two, a destination wedding with your closest people or a surprise vow renewal, our France wedding packages are tailor-made and stress-free. We have been planning ceremonies across France since 2009.
QUICK ANSWERS
Both work for a destination wedding in France, and the guest count decides it.
Château estates — Vaux-le-Vicomte, Versailles (permit required), Château de Chantilly, Château d’Esclimont, all 30-60 minutes from Paris.
- Palatial grandeur, formal gardens, exclusive use of the property.
- Suit larger groups, 50 to 200 guests, indoor and outdoor.
- Guest transport required; overnight accommodation often included.
- Formal atmosphere, structured timelines.
- Minimum guest counts often apply (40-60+), which rules out intimate celebrations.
City venues — luxury hotels (Shangri-La, Ritz, Peninsula), Seine river boats, rooftop terraces, Marais lofts, museum spaces such as the Musée Rodin.
- Urban sophistication, walkable guest access, Eiffel Tower views.
- Suit intimate groups, 20 to 100 guests, all metro-accessible.
- Contemporary, flexible atmosphere, vendors chosen individually.
- Our Paris packages run from €790 to €9,550.
Under 20 guests — city venues win outright. Marais apartments, private dining rooms (Le Jules Verne, L’Arpège), boutique hotels (Hôtel Particulier Montmartre) and historic salons take elopements and micro-weddings with no minimum. Everything is walkable, so there is no shuttle to coordinate, and Haussmann boulevards, Art Nouveau details and medieval Marais courtyards sit a few steps apart. Châteaux either impose a minimum or feel oversized. Read our guide to micro-weddings in Europe.
- Scenery — château: manicured gardens, historic architecture, countryside. City: Eiffel Tower, Seine bridges, Parisian rooftops, Haussmann elegance.
- Logistics — château: guest shuttles. City: walkable and metro-accessible, decisive for a small wedding in France.
- Guest experience — château: an immersive weekend on the estate. City: Paris sightseeing built into the day.
- Flexibility — city venues adapt the timeline; châteaux run to a fixed schedule.
- Architecture — city venues span Belle Époque (Shangri-La), modernist rooftops, medieval Marais stone and Art Nouveau detail. Châteaux offer one palatial style, beautifully, but only one.
May-June and September give the best balance of weather, cost and availability across every French region. Here is how the three seasons compare for a wedding in France.
Spring (April-May)
- Moderate temperatures, 15-22°C, and blooming gardens.
- Cherry blossom and wisteria, fresh energy, and no peak-season crowds.
- Venues fully staffed, wider availability.
- Paris at its best as the café terraces reopen; early lavender growth in Provence.
- Risk: occasional rain, so a backup plan is needed.
Summer (June-August)
- Guaranteed warmth, 22-28°C, and daylight until 9:30pm or later.
- The reliable choice for outdoor ceremonies, Riviera beach clubs, and the Provence lavender fields in June and July.
- Peak season: crowded sites and limited availability, so book 12-18 months ahead.
- Risk: heat waves above 35°C in Provence and on the Riviera.
Autumn (September-October)
- Golden light, comfortable temperatures of 18-24°C, and far fewer crowds.
- The season for photography and wine themes: grape harvest in Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne.
- Paris stunning under autumn foliage.
- Risk: rain probability rises from September onwards.
One thing that does not change with the season: our package prices. An elopement in France costs the same in May as it does in August.
Two capitals an hour apart by air, and two very different weddings. Here is how London compares with a wedding in France.
Paris — Seine-side romance, Eiffel Tower ceremonies, château grandeur, French haute cuisine.
- Best for continental elegance, iconic landmarks and outdoor possibilities.
- A more intimate scale, walkable neighbourhoods, refined gastronomy.
- Climate: mild continental, 5-25°C, rain possible year-round but less than London.
- Packages from €790 to €9,550, Basic to Infinity.
London — Thames river venues, royal palace settings (Kew Gardens, Hampton Court), multicultural energy, British traditions.
- Best for historic grandeur, excellent English-language services and cosmopolitan diversity.
- A larger scale, in an international business hub.
- Climate: cooler maritime, 3-23°C, with more rain — around 180 days a year.
- Packages from £1,940, quoted in pounds. London starts at Silver: there is no Basic package there.
Side by side:
- Style — Paris: romantic, artistic, food-focused. London: regal, traditional, multicultural.
- Accessibility — London has the superior international flight network; Paris the better trains, Eurostar and TGV.
- Weather — Paris gives you a better chance of an outdoor ceremony; London needs an indoor backup plan.
- Budget — compare with care, the two are quoted in different currencies: Paris from €790, London from £1,940.
If you want the ceremony outdoors with just the two of you in the frame, an elopement in France is the safer bet on weather alone.
Both work for a destination wedding in France. They suit different couples, and the choice is rarely about which one is more beautiful.
Paris — iconic romance, Eiffel Tower views, historic châteaux, world-class museums, Belle Époque elegance.
- Best for classic French sophistication, urban luxury and year-round access.
- Venues from intimate Marais apartments to grand palaces: Shangri-La, Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte.
- Excellent public transport, walkable arrondissements, wedding services running in every season.
- Peak season April-October, though winter weddings carry a magical holiday atmosphere.
- Packages from €790 to €9,550.
French Riviera — Mediterranean glamour, yacht backdrops, beach clubs, hilltop villages such as Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Côte d’Azur sunshine.
- Best for outdoor ceremonies, seaside receptions and resort-style celebrations.
- Venues include Belle Époque palaces in Nice, contemporary luxury in Cannes, and intimate villa estates.
- More seasonal: most operations run May to September.
- Packages from €990 to €9,470.
Side by side:
- Climate — Paris is mild continental, 5-25°C, with rain possible year-round. The Riviera is Mediterranean, 10-30°C, reliably sunny from May to September.
- Style — Paris: timeless elegance, art, gastronomy, museums. Riviera: sun-soaked luxury, yachts, beach lifestyle.
- Guest experience — Paris offers exceptional cultural activities and metro access. The Riviera needs a car rental and centres on resort relaxation.
- Budget — the Riviera runs 17 to 25% above Paris from Basic to Diamond. At Infinity level the two are the same, €80 apart.
For just the two of you, both work: the Riviera for reliable sunshine, Paris for an elopement in France in any month of the year.
Both work, and they suit different couples. Here is how a destination wedding in France compares with Italy.
France — refined sophistication and gastronomy
- Best for: culinary excellence with Michelin-starred catering, formal beauty, wine region celebrations (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne).
- Venues: château grandeur, Haussmann boulevards, Gothic cathedrals.
- Strengths: superior transport infrastructure (TGV), consistent service standards, the Paris brand.
- Packages: €790–9,550, Basic to Infinity.
- Climate: varied — continental in Paris, Mediterranean in the south.
- Season: year-round.
Italy — la dolce vita, warmth and spontaneity
- Best for: relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, villa estates, opera-infused culture, emotional Italian hospitality.
- Landscapes: from Alpine lakes (Como, Garda) to southern coasts (Amalfi, Sicily).
- Food: exceptional regional specialties, fresh ingredients, convivial abundance, wine as culture.
- Packages: €790–10,100, Basic to Infinity.
- Climate: hot Mediterranean summers (28–35°C), mild winters.
- Peak season: April–October.
Side by side:
- Atmosphere — France: polished, formal, gastronomic focus, structured timelines. Italy: warm, spontaneous, passionate, late dinners, family embrace.
- Food philosophy — France: haute cuisine technique, precise wine pairings, Michelin standards. Italy: regional traditions, seasonal ingredients, wine as culture.
- Venue variety — France is stronger on châteaux and palaces; Italy on villas and coastal estates.
- Guest experience — France: refined sophistication, museum culture, formal service. Italy: relaxed pace, family-style dinners, emotional warmth.
- Language — the same challenge in both, and both need a local coordinator on the ground.
- Budget — neither country is cheaper. Both start at €790; France reaches €9,550, Italy €10,100. Our Paris and Florence packages are identical from Basic to Diamond.
Pick the country whose atmosphere you already picture. An elopement in France and an elopement in Italy cost the same at entry level — the difference is the backdrop, not the invoice.
Two river cities, two very different kinds of romance. Here is how Prague compares with a wedding in France.
Paris — the Seine’s elegant curves through Haussmann’s planned boulevards, refined Belle Époque and Art Nouveau architecture.
- Best for polished sophistication, iconic landmarks (Eiffel Tower, Louvre), and world-class luxury services.
- Romance centres on river cruises, bridge-lit evenings and manicured gardens.
- Cosmopolitan energy: designer shopping, Michelin dining, grand palace hotels.
- A more formal, service-oriented approach.
- Packages from €790 to €9,550.
Prague — fairytale charm, the Vltava winding through Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau layers.
- Best for authentic Old World romance, castle venues and cobblestone streets.
- The astronomical clock, Charles Bridge and hilltop Prague Castle.
- An intimate, bohemian vibe: beer gardens, jazz clubs, accessible luxury.
- A more relaxed, welcoming approach.
- Packages from €940 to €7,720.
Side by side:
- River settings — Paris: the wide, elegant Seine with symmetrical bridges. Prague: the dramatic Vltava with the Gothic Charles Bridge as its focal point.
- Architecture — Paris: one unified Haussmann aesthetic. Prague: an eclectic medieval-to-Art-Nouveau mix that reads like a storybook.
- Ambiance — Paris: sophisticated, fast-paced, fashion-forward. Prague: cosy, timeless, laid-back Central European charm.
- Budget — closer than the reputation suggests. Prague runs 3 to 19% above Paris from Basic to Diamond, and about 19% below at Infinity level.
For just the two of you, Paris runs year-round, which is why an elopement in France works in December as well as in June.
Classic French elegance against Mediterranean creative energy. Here is how Barcelona compares with a destination wedding in France.
Paris — Haussmann boulevards, riverside venues along the Seine, refined sophistication.
- Best for timeless romance, world-renowned gastronomy with Michelin-starred catering, and year-round wedding services.
- Venues include historic châteaux (Versailles, Vaux-le-Vicomte), luxury palace hotels and intimate Marais lofts.
- Excellent international flights and a metro system for guests.
- A more formal atmosphere, with dress codes and traditional service.
- Packages from €790 to €9,550. Peak season April-October.
Barcelona — vibrant Catalan culture, Gaudí architecture, Mediterranean beaches, relaxed Spanish lifestyle.
- Best for outdoor celebrations, modernist venues and a bohemian-luxury fusion.
- Options include beach clubs, Montjuïc gardens, Gothic Quarter palaces and contemporary spaces.
- A more casual, fiesta atmosphere with late-night celebrations.
- Packages from €830 to €10,152. Peak season May-September.
Side by side:
- Climate — Barcelona is warmer, Mediterranean 12-28°C, against Paris continental 5-25°C, with reliable outdoor weather from May to September.
- Atmosphere — Paris: refined elegance, museum culture, formal dining. Barcelona: creative energy, beach lifestyle, late-night party culture.
- Language — Paris asks a little more French of you; Barcelona’s wedding industry works widely in English.
- Budget — Paris is the more affordable of the two, by 5 to 10% across every package.
Both are city ceremonies at heart. If you want the sea in the frame, Barcelona wins. If you want the two of you alone on a bridge at dawn, an elopement in France is hard to beat.
Paris and the French Riviera sit around 5°C apart all year, and that gap decides more than comfort — it decides whether you can plan outdoors with confidence.
Paris, mild continental with four distinct seasons:
- Spring (April-May): 15-20°C, gardens in bloom, occasional rain.
- Summer (June-August): 20-25°C and long daylight — the season for Seine ceremonies and outdoor receptions.
- Autumn (September-October): 15-20°C, with the château grounds at their best.
- Winter (November-March): 5-10°C, festive, but indoor venues only.
The French Riviera, Mediterranean with hot dry summers and mild winters:
- Spring (April-May): 18-22°C, few crowds.
- Summer (June-September): 25-30°C, reliable sunshine for beach clubs and yacht receptions.
- Autumn (October): 20-25°C.
- Winter (November-March): 10-15°C, but many venues close for the season.
Rain is the real difference: Paris around 170 days a year, the Riviera around 60. From May to September the Riviera is dry enough to plan outdoors without a backup. For a wedding in France, May-June and September suit both.

WHAT TYPE OF FRANCE WEDDING IS RIGHT FOR YOU ?

MICRO WEDDING FRANCE
Picture saying “I do” in the timeless elegance of Paris, or exchanging vows against the sea on the French Riviera. A micro wedding in France keeps the guest list short and the day entirely yours.
Treat the people who travelled for you to French cuisine and wine, then stay on together for a relaxed holiday afterwards — the celebration does not have to end with the ceremony.

FRANCE VOW RENEWAL
Renew your vows in a country that already means something to you — or discover it together for the first time. A vow renewal in France can take place in front of a Paris landmark, in a quiet garden, or on the sun-kissed shores of the French Riviera.
Some couples return to the city of their honeymoon. Others arrive with no history here at all. Either way, our vow renewal packages take care of the details, so the day belongs to the two of you.

FRANCE ELOPEMENT
Just the two of you, a celebrant and a photographer. To elope in France is to skip the guest list, the seating plan and the year of planning, and keep only the part that matters.
Walk hand in hand through the streets of Paris, or exchange your vows on a quiet stretch of the Riviera coast. Our France elopement packages handle everything around the ceremony, so you can spend the rest of the trip as a honeymoon.

WHERE CAN YOU GET MARRIED IN FRANCE ?
Getting married in France will make you feel like you are achieving a dream, but you need the help of experts so everything goes as planned. We curated the best ceremony locations in Paris and French Riviera, keeping in mind their spectacularity but their practicalities as well.

PARIS WEDDING PACKAGES
Our Parisian coordinators choose each spot for more than the view: accessibility, a backup plan if it rains, and somewhere the crowds will not walk through your vows. Four venues we come back to for a wedding in Paris:
- Eiffel Tower — the iconic backdrop, from the intimate spots nearby rather than the crowded esplanade.
- Luxembourg Gardens — statues, formal lawns and a calm that suits a ceremony.
- American Church in Paris — for a religious ceremony conducted in English. Extra fees apply.
- Chapelle Expiatoire — a historic chapel dedicated to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, seating up to a hundred guests. Extra fees apply.

FRENCH RIVIERA – south of France – WEDDING PACKAGES
The coast changes character every few kilometres. Four places we plan a French Riviera wedding around:
- Monaco — vows overlooking the Mediterranean, with the Casino de Monte-Carlo or the Prince’s Palace in frame.
- Nice — cobbled lanes and colourful old-town façades, and around 300 sunny days a year.
- Cannes — the Croisette, the grand hotels and the yachts, for the film-festival version of the Riviera.
- Eze — a medieval village of winding lanes and ruins, perched above the sea. The quietest of the four.

“ The fact that I talk about love all day long with couples who want to celebrate their love is a real blessing. I have so much gratitude for the life I have: being of service for couples from all over the world! I love to create ceremonies that are meaningful. To see the eyes of the couples I marry while they share their vows is magic: I know I am making a difference in a world that, sometimes, doesn’t make much sense…”
Pierre Thérond.
