WHAT IS A CHATEAU WEDDING?

Chateau is the French word for castle. So a chateau wedding is a wedding you have at a castle.

If you’re coming to France for a destination wedding (for example: an American couple) then you would plan to have the ceremony right at the chateau. Having a wedding ceremony AT a french chateau is definitely what dreams are made of.

Also, keep in mind this important fact about France – you can only have a religious ceremony if you’re a french resident.

HOW TO PLAN A CHATEAU WEDDING IN FRANCE

When planning a destination wedding you always want to hire an expert wedding planner to help you organize a stress-free, unforgettable wedding. It’s even more important to hire a planner for a destination wedding in France compared to a local wedding where you live because you have to navigate a different culture, language, and many other barriers due to you not being physically located in this destination.

Additionally, Chateau de la Napoule does not offer a wedding coordinator or planner. It’s up to the couple to decide how they want to organize all the wedding vendors, decorations, timeline, etc.
