Celebrate on the French Riviera

Wedding · Proposal · Elopement · Micro-wedding

Those who know the French Riviera don’t come for the Promenade des Anglais, but for the private villas of the Cap and the addresses passed quietly from hand to hand, far from the crowds.

Why marry on the French Riviera

International Accessibility

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport welcomes 14 million passengers a year with direct flights from New York in 9h, Dubai in 6h, and countless European cities. Private jets land in Nice, Cannes-Mandelieu, or Saint-Tropez.

Lifestyle & Experience

Glamour by the sea: yachts in Monaco, sunsets in Saint-Tropez, and palaces in Cannes. Guests move from beach clubs to Michelin-star dining to villa soirées within hours.

Climate & Seasonality

Summers are hot and festive, 27–32°C, perfect for late-night parties under the stars. Spring and fall are gentler, 18–24°C. May, June, and September are the sweet spots.

Privacy & Security

From hillside villas overlooking the sea to legendary hotels offering entire wings. Exclusive clubs like Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc specialize in ultra-private events with high-profile security.

Frequently asked questions

Can I Legally Get Married in France?

Legally marrying in France requires at least one partner to have lived in the country for a minimum of 40 consecutive days. Most couples do the paperwork at home and host their symbolic ceremony in France.

Do I Need a Visa to Get Married in France?

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. Some countries are exempt for up to 90 days, while others require applying through the French consulate weeks in advance.

Can I Have My Wedding Ceremony in English?

French civil ceremonies are always in French, but you can hire a professional interpreter. For symbolic or religious ceremonies, you choose your language freely.

Do We Need a Local Wedding Planner?

Many of the most exclusive Riviera venues don't take public bookings; they open only through trusted planners with established relationships. Local expertise is essential for contracts, language, and cultural nuances.

What Is the Cost of a Luxury Wedding on the French Riviera?

The cost typically begins around €2,500 per guest, with most couples investing between €250,000 and €650,000 for a comprehensive experience including private venues, custom design, Michelin-level gastronomy, and full guest support.
