Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
They are all beautiful in their own way! Each wedding at the Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés is unique and special. The charm of our cloister, the beauty of our chapel, and the elegance of our gallery make it the ideal setting for the most beautiful day of your life. A memorable wedding took place recently where guests enjoyed an elegant cocktail reception in our enchanting park, surrounded by century-old trees and the splendid bamboo grove.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Start early, ideally twelve to eighteen months in advance. This gives you plenty of time to plan every detail and ensures availability of your preferred vendors and location.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One personal detail we particularly appreciated was a keepsake table, where the couple had displayed photos of their loved ones and their travels together. This added an intimate and moving touch to the celebration.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Charming, Elegant, Historic, Natural, Peaceful.
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Couples can take the best photos in our majestic park, near the historic chapel, under the century-old plane trees, or in the magnificent bamboo grove. These places offer a natural and romantic setting ideal for memorable photos.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Yes, we had the honor of hosting the wedding of a music celebrity and his bride. Their celebration was a mix of glamor and intimacy, with many high-profile guests.
What’s your favourite canapé?
My favorite canape is a bite of smoked salmon on a blini, garnished with a dash of crème fraîche and dill. It's both simple and refined, perfect to start a wedding evening.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
We often serve mini-burgers, chicken skewers and hot appetizers that please all guests and satisfy any hunger pangs. Our midnight snacks are designed to be convenient and delicious, helping to extend the party into the wee hours of the morning.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
What makes the Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés unique is the combination of our historic architecture and our enchanting park. This duality allows couples to enjoy both an elegant and historic ambiance inside and a natural and serene setting outside.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
I am most proud of our dedicated team and our experience of over 10 years in managing recognized wedding estates in Provence. Their passion and commitment to providing quality services and creating unforgettable experiences for couples and their guests is truly what makes the difference at Couvent Notre-Dame des Prés.
