Q & A

Please RSVP by 15 February 2027 so we can get an accurate headcount.

We have planned our wedding to be small and intimate and are therefore only able to accommodate those named on invitations. Thank you for understanding — we can't wait to see you at the wedding!

Our ceremony and reception will be for adult guests only. For those travelling with little ones, we'll have a babysitting service available at the château during the ceremony and reception, so your children can be well looked after while you celebrate with us. If you'd like to arrange childcare, please get in touch and we'd be delighted to help. We can't wait to welcome your little ones to our Friday evening drinks and Sunday brunch, where they'll be very much part of the celebrations.

If you're planning to drive to the church, we recommend parking at Parking du Centre on the Boulevard du Lices — it's a multi-storey and you're almost guaranteed a spot. There is plenty of free parking at Château de Paon — just turn left once you enter the grounds and follow the road to the car park.

Friday, Welcome Drinks — Smart Casual.

Saturday, Wedding Ceremony & Reception — Formal. Ladies: elegant eveningwear, rather than daytime dresses. Gentlemen: lounge suit (including linen) and tie.

Sunday, Post-Wedding Brunch — Smart Casual. Bring swimwear for the pool — suncream will be provided for the anglos.

Do get in touch with Grace or Jean-François if you have questions before or after the wedding day. For queries on the day itself, please contact our on-the-day coordinator, Emilie: +33 7 83 87 71 85.

Please be seated by 14:45 — the ceremony will start at 15:00. All timing and scheduling details can be found on the schedule page.

The church service will of course be indoors, but the reception, dinner and brunch are planned to be outdoors. In the event of rain, we will move indoors.

We'd love you to take photos and share them on our Joy app to save Grace pestering you all for them. However, we kindly ask that you don't take photos during the church ceremony — you're very welcome to take them on our way out of the church, however!

The ceremony will be a mix of English and French. We'll be providing a translation in the order of service for those who have failed to maintain their Duolingo streak.

Lots! See the South of France Travel Tips page for some suggested itineraries — if you're planning on making a wider holiday of the trip, drop Grace or Jean-François a message and we'll give you more detailed recommendations, like restaurants and things to do.
