Weddingss in France Private Chateaux & Bespoke experiences

At My French Way of Life, we design and orchestrate bespoke destination weddings in France for international couples seeking something truly distinctive. From the South of France to Paris, each event is crafted as a complete experience, elegant, seamless, and entirely tailored.
In order to fully enjoy your stay, the domain will be privatized from Friday to Sunday evening and includes accommodation for 15 people.
Private French Chateaux in the south of France
Our weddings take place in exceptional private venues, each offering a unique atmosphere.
At Château de Garrevaques, our family château in the South of France, the experience is intimate and deeply personal. Surrounded by nature, with elegant salons opening onto a six-hectare park, it feels like a private home where your wedding unfolds naturally over several days.
At Château de Bournazel, a Renaissance monument in Aveyron, the experience becomes more architectural, more striking. The symmetry, the stonework and the gardens create a setting that immediately elevates the event into something unforgettable.
Two châteaux, two atmospheres.

Frequently Asked Questions
Planning & Legal
Can foreigners legally get married in France, or is the ceremony usually symbolic?
Foreign couples can’t usually complete a civil marriage in France unless one partner resides there. Most international couples choose a symbolic ceremony at Château de Garrevaques, followed by the legal registration in their home country. This allows full freedom for a beautiful, stress-free celebration in France.
However, some countries do recognize marriages performed abroad, such as Canada, and many Canadian citizens choose to celebrate their official civil wedding in our château.
How far in advance should we book Château de Garrevaques for our wedding?
We recommend booking 12 to 24 months in advance, especially for weekends between May and September. Early booking guarantees availability, the best vendors, and time to tailor every detail of your dream château wedding.
Do you assist with paperwork, translations, or marriage certificates?
No, we don’t handle paperwork, translations, or marriage certificates.
Our focus is on organizing and coordinating symbolic or religious ceremonies, with an emphasis on magic, joy, and celebration.
What are the steps in your event planning process?
Our process includes 7 steps:
- First call
- Contract & deposit
