Affordable venue in the South of France
Hi Everyone,
I don't see too many posts on the South of France.
After a couple of trips to Italy (Amalfi, Tuscany & Umbria) all ending without a venue selection, we've decided to look at France.
I'm drawn to the unusual venues like Solent Forts in the UK or the beautiful but completely out of my budget Villa Cora in Florence.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a unique quirky venue or a house with a beautiful garden?
We'd love to make a long weekend of it, but may only be able to afford the rental costs of one day.
Our budget is around 10,000 euros for the rental of a venue for a symbolic ceremony and reception for 80 people. Our guests to stay at nearby hotels.
My french is good, but rusty so I hope to save on a wedding planner.
We'd really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

We are looking at SW France too. have a look at http://www.frenchweddingstyle.com/ They have lots of venues listed and they also have blogs of real weddings.
im having 50 and have found a house that accommodates all 50. The plan is to split the accomodation costs between the guests which will free up money to feed them properly.
what dates are you thinking?
Thanks!
We're thinking Spring 2018.
You might struggle for next year. We're 2020 and when I have been enquiring most places are booked up for next year and taking booking for 2019.
Have a look through that website it's really good
We are getting married in a gorgeous villa near Carcassonne next September with around 60 guests. The villa is stunning and very affordable (compared to some of the ridiculous prices I have been quoted!!) and the owner is so helpful and lovely and happy to listen to what I want to truly make it the way I want it, which has saved me a few thousand pounds on a wedding planner as she does this service as part of the deal. We are even going to stay for a few days over the summer to meet with suppliers/caterers etc, visit some vineyards and plan out how/where we want everything to happen.
have a look at the link for details of the villa and if you are interested I can send you the owners private email for more information. She has a variety of wedding packages so you can either just book the villa the organise the rest yourself, or she can help,with certain things, or she can take care of everything for you.

Hi Deb,
I know someone in France, whose name is Aurélie. It is a wedding planner specialized in wedding planning in France for foreigners.
Go take a look at his site: http://www.aurelie-r-privateevents.com/
