Four reasons to Choose Paris For your Destination Wedding
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. That's why Paris is often ranked as a top luxury wedding destination for international guests.
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. Paris is an immersive cultural journey, which is why so many couples choose it as the most romantic wedding destination in Europe.
As a Parisian, I’d say May and September are the best months for a wedding in Paris. Spring (April–June) offers mild weather 16–23°C (61–73°F) and sunsets near 10 pm in June, perfect for outdoor celebrations. Fall (September–October) is cooler 15–21°C (59–70°F), with golden light ideal for photography. Summer can be lively but hot, sometimes over 30°C (86°F), while winter is colder 7–9°C (45–48°F) and often rainy.
In Paris, luxury weddings mean total exclusivity. Most venues from palaces to the Rodin Museum, can be fully privatized, with starting fees from €50,000. Discretion is part of the service: Paris has elite private security teams trained for high-profile events. This makes it one of the safest choices for couples seeking a private and exclusive wedding 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. From my experience, it’s smoother this way: you enjoy the romance of Paris without the red tape. That's why most couples dreaming of a luxury wedding in France choose a civil union at home followed by an exclusive destination wedding in Paris.
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. My advice : don't leave this for the last minute, especially if you’re inviting guests from multiple countries with different passport rules. To confirm your case, you can use the official French tool here: Check if you need a visa (France Visa Assistant). A little foresight ensures your luxury wedding in France unfolds smoothly, without border surprises.
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 to translate live for you and your guests. For symbolic or religious ceremonies, you have full freedom to choose your native language. Many couples opt for a symbolic ceremony in their langugage after handling the paperwork at home. It's one more reason why an exclusive destination wedding in Paris often blends the best of both cultures.
Do We Need a Local Wedding Planner?
Technically, you can plan a wedding in France on your own, but the reality is that local contracts, language, and cultural nuances make it a challenge. From my experience, the difference isn’t just logistics: it’s access. Many of the most exclusive venues in Paris don't even take public bookings; they open only through trusted planners with established relationships. That's why couples who want authenticity and privacy choose to work with experts already anchored in France. At Maison Fervenza, we're not just planners: we are wedding architects, unlocking hidden venues and artisans to craft an exclusive wedding in Paris that no template could ever replicate.
What Is the Cost of a Luxury Wedding in Paris?
The cost of a luxury wedding in Paris typically begins around €3.000 / guest, with most couples investing between €300,000 and €800,000 for a comprehensive experience. This includes access to private venues, custom design, Michelin-level gastronomy, and full guest support. These figures reflect not only material choices but the kind of wedding budget in France that unlocks the rarest doors and ensures an exceptional experience handled entirely for you.
