American Couple’s Destination Wedding in France

10 September 2025

Romantic Destination Wedding at a French Château Canet

Even though the rain made its appearance that day, this intimate wedding in the heart of a vineyard estate in the South of France will be remembered as warm and deeply romantic celebration. 

An Intimate Wedding from the United States

More and more international couples are choosing the South of France for an intimate wedding or a destination wedding. With its authentic landscapes, endless vineyards, and unique art de vivre, Occitanie offers the perfect setting.

This American couple embraced simplicity and elegance: a small wedding surrounded by their closest loved ones, with a joyful and emotional atmosphere – far from the large, traditional celebrations.

A Cozy Indoor Ceremony, Sheltered from the Rain

While the ceremony was initially planned to take place among the vines, the weather decided otherwise. The vows were exchanged indoors, in the elegantly decorated stable. Thanks to the florist’s work, the space was transformed into a true cocoon – intimate, romantic, and full of charm.

Despite the rain, the South of France worked its magic. After the ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed the lush, green landscapes during short breaks of sunshine between the showers.
