I have some very exciting news to share with you today, as I am proud to be the VIP guest at a brand new destination wedding show just outside of Paris - Rendez-vous!

Rendez-vous will take place on 15th and 16th of November 2014 at the beautiful Chateau Pontarmé, located just an hour North of Paris. The event is not your usual wedding show, but a chance to meet and discuss with a selection of handpicked providers the ideas for your dream French Wedding.

Whether you are planning a wedding at home and looking for that certain 'French touch' or are planning your wedding in France, the Rendez-vous providers will be available to meet and discuss your desires, in an informal and chic setting.

Competition Time!

I have a fabulous competition to launch with the opportunity for one couple to win a set of tickets for Rendez-vous on 15th Nov PLUS a nights accommodation at a nearby fabulously French countryside retreat, Le Ferme de la Canardiere.

The prize includes entry for two to the show . You will be able to cross the moat and visit the show on Saturday 15th Nov and discuss your dream wedding with the suppliers. I will also be there on Saturday and would love to meet you and hear about your wedding plans! We can grab a coffee and a sumptuous pastry and you can pick my brains about your wedding planning, queries or anything!

If you can't make it to the show in person - don't worry as we have runners up prizes of a fabulous basket of wonderful French products to be won!

To enter the competition simply email me and complete the sentence " My dream wedding is ........" - email [email protected] with 'Rendez-vous Competition' in the subject line.

Wedding Venue - Chateau Pontarmé

I am also super thrilled to be able to explore Chateau Pontarmé, a in XIIIᵉ century castle, that was owned for a century by the Lefevre family before being lovingly managed by its new owner Sarah.

The stunning Chateau is set in picturesque parkland and you even have to cross a moat, just like a real princess!

With multiple beautiful period rooms all set around a large courtyard, Chateau Pontarmé can provide the magical setting for your wedding day. The Chateau is just 2.5 hours from the Calais EuroTunnel, providing a really easy and accessible route for your wedding guests to arrive for your weekend wedding.

Terms & Conditions

Or why not make a Parisian adventure of your wedding day, as the Chateau is just over an hour outside of Paris - so you could have a quick trip to visit the capital for some further romantic wedding images.
