In France, there
is one thing for sure, you really do get value for money and you don’t have to
have a massive budget to create a wonderful and memorable day; even on a very
small budget, you can have a fabulous time.
An example of a
wedding we arranged for less than £5,000:
We gave 50
guests a full day event (from 11am-02:30am) which comprised:
Arrangement of the official paperwork
The
ceremony, with translator
Followed by a buffet lunch with champagne all
round and cake,
Coach transportation for everyone to and from a medieval hill-top village where we then
had
An evening of live musical entertainment in a modest chateau,
4 course meal with unlimited high-quality wine and more cake.
Plus, included in that price we accommodated a number of guests,
arranged flowers, hair and make-up, photographer
and decorations at the ceremony and
evening venues.
Basically, all the bride did was turn up with
her guests.
So, you
see, there’s something for every budget and in France a little money goes a lot
further. So, even if you are on a very
small budget, France in fact, could be a more ideal location for you than the
UK. A wedding abroad may provide the
perfect justification for people who simply want a smaller, more personal
affair, without offending certain friends and relatives. Conversely, France is accessible enough for
people who do want a lavish affair and have all their friends present. At one of our weddings we’ve even had a guest
who was scared of flying and had never left the country before. She came on the Euro Star. What a great experience to have for a
first-time abroad! If you are looking for a more modest day, you
could simply book out a gorgeous restaurant in a stunning location. For this, you generally don’t pay a charge
for the venue; you simply pay for the food and drink and French restaurants are
renowned for offering fabulous food and wine at very reasonable prices (much
cheaper than UK restaurants on average). Some of the restaurants in France are exquisite and in fantastic
locations. Or seek permission from a
local mayor to put up marquees in a favourite village and just get caterers
in. Whatever your dream, our mission is
to help you to fulfil that and a top priority of ours is to provide you with
value for money. Those of you on a bit
of a shoe-string budget will find you can probably have your wedding cheaper in
France than in England if budget is your concern. On the other hand, if you have a big budget and
want a party to remember, France is definitely the place for you. The French Riviera has some of the most
exclusive and exuberant locations in world; millionaires from all over the
globe descend upon the likes of St Tropez and Monte Carlo to soak up the sun
