To marry with your feet in the sand, steps from the Atlantic, your fourteen closest gathered for four days in a 1930s villa on the shores of Hossegor's saltwater lake. You rise at your own hour, the alcohol-free bar open from the morning coffee, and wellness simply sets the tempo of these days among friends.
Around the ceremony on the beach, Fervenza composes wide days: surf or paddle, oysters at the lake cabanas as the sun goes down, and on the last evening a fire on the sand, a guitar, a little dancing. Four days of holiday around a yes, the body loosened and the heart light.
Matcha, alcohol-free cocktails, turmeric golden milk, cold-pressed seasonal juices
At sunset, a single instrument, txalaparta or cello, the ocean behind
A private chef for the four days, cooking to the couple's and guests' tastes
Your celebration
Day 1 | Arriving together, gathering by the lake
Past the gate, the rhythm drops a notch. You gather on the terrace facing the lake, graze the terroir at sunset, and the first evening stretches out, slow, among close ones you never see enough of. Tomorrow, the wedding.

Day 3 | Waking up married, the first day all your own

Day 4 | Saying goodbye, carrying the days forward
The last morning keeps no fixed hour. You linger in the garden, where it all began, then one last big table together, the farewell lunch. Then the road home, four days in your legs and your head still by the water.
