the best wedding venue ...


... is where you are! Of course it is crucial that you choose a place where you feel yourself comfortable and a place that expreses your lifestyle. But in the end, the most important part of the wedding venue is you. A wedding location only becomes alive with its people, the get-together with your friends and family, the moments that you share with your couple and the memories that you will take home from that day.


I remember one of my clients had planned the perfect wedding at Château du Vivier. But unfortunately it was raining cats and dogs that day and the ceremony could not be held in front of the castle. The morning of the wedding day the bride was crying a lot, the wedding weren't going to be as she had dreamed of so many nights.

But a few weeks ago I had the chance to talk with them. They told me that of course they would have preferred to held the ceremony in front of the castle. But in retrospective they still remembered their day as the best day of their life, because of the wonderful moments they shared and lived that day with their loved ones!
