Celebrate in Paris

Wedding · Proposal · Elopement · Micro-wedding

The first thing you feel when you arrive in Paris is the golden light filling its ancient courtyards, and the sense that every hidden corner holds a love story. The rest is ours to handle: our complete attention, and access to a private Paris.

Why marry in Paris

International Accessibility

Paris is one of the best-connected wedding destinations in the world. With three airports: Charles de Gaulle, Orly, and Le Bourget for private jets, you can fly in smoothly from any airport in the world. Transfers are quick: only 30 minutes from CDG or Orly.

Lifestyle & Experience

Few cities can match Paris for a destination wedding. Imagine treating your guests to Michelin-star dining (over 118 starred restaurants), private access to iconic museums, and stays in world-class five-star hotels like the Ritz or the George V.

Climate & Seasonality

May and September are the best months for a wedding in Paris. Spring (April–June) offers mild weather 16–23°C and sunsets near 10 pm in June, perfect for outdoor celebrations. Fall (September–October) is cooler 15–21°C, with golden light ideal for photography.

Privacy & Security

In Paris, luxury weddings mean total exclusivity. Most venues from palaces to the Rodin Museum can be fully privatized. Discretion is part of the service: Paris has elite private security teams trained for high-profile events.

Frequently asked questions

Can I Legally Get Married in Paris?

Legally marrying in France requires at least one partner to have lived in the country for a minimum of 40 consecutive days before the wedding. For most non-European citizens, this makes a legal civil marriage in France difficult. Instead, many couples do the paperwork in their home country and then host their symbolic or religious ceremony in France.

Do I Need a Visa to Get Married in France?

Whether you need a visa depends entirely on your nationality. Some countries are exempt from short-stay visas for up to 90 days, while others require applying in advance through the French consulate. The process can take several weeks, so it's best to check early, ideally 3 months before your trip. To confirm your case, use the official tool: France-Visas Assistant.

Can I Have My Wedding Ceremony in English?

French civil ceremonies are always conducted in French, and the mayor or registrar is required to perform it that way. However, you can hire a professional interpreter. For symbolic or religious ceremonies, you have full freedom to choose your native language.

Do We Need a Local Wedding Planner?

Technically, you can plan a wedding in France on your own, but local contracts, language, and cultural nuances make it a challenge. Many of the most exclusive venues in Paris don't even take public bookings; they open only through trusted planners with established relationships.

What Is the Investment?

From €4,500 per guest. This covers the entire celebration: venue, starred chef, a signature dessert, artistic direction of the evening. Guest accommodation and travel are additional.
