France ranges from the formal grandeur of Paris and the Riviera to the slow countryside of Provence and the Dordogne. The legal process for a French civil wedding is genuinely demanding for non-residents, so most couples marry legally at home and hold a celebrant-led ceremony here. Start with a region, then a venue.
A French wedding is as much about region as it is about style. The Riviera and Paris sit at the top of the market; Provence, Burgundy and the Dordogne trade gloss for long, golden countryside days. Each draws on its own suppliers and its own pace.
