Getting Married in Paris and France: Real Weddings & Inspiration

Planning a destination wedding in Paris or elsewhere in France is the beginning of an unforgettable experience – and the celebrations you’ll discover here reflect the many ways couples from around the world choose to say yes in this extraordinary country. As an English-speaking celebrant officiating weddings in Paris and throughout France, I create bespoke wedding ceremonies designed around each couple’s story, culture, and vision for their day.

In these journal entries, you’ll find real weddings I have officiated in Paris as well as across France – from elegant city celebrations and historic Parisian venues to romantic French château weddings and beautiful countryside estates. Each story offers inspiration for meaningful ceremony moments, bilingual celebrations, personal vows, and ways to create a ceremony and wedding day that feels truly personal.

If you are just starting to plan your wedding in France, these stories and resources, as well as my guide on destination weddings in Paris will help you imagine what your own celebration could look and feel like. Feel free to also explore my section on ceremony advice, where I shine a light on specific ceremony elements that could inspire you, such as wedding rituals, guest contributions, readings and more. Every wedding is unique, and my role as marriage celebrant is always to create a ceremony that brings your story to life in a warm, natural, and authentic way.
