Describe the best wedding that happened at Domaine de la Vallée Aux Pages?
The most beautiful wedding that took place at our place was a celebration marked by simplicity and elegance. The ceremony took place outdoors, in a beautiful natural setting, with breathtaking views of the lush gardens of the estate. The bride and groom, beaming, exchanged their vows under an arch of fresh flowers, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere.
Dinner was served inside a large room with stone walls, where the soft light of candles and fairy lights added a warm touch. The guests feasted on refined dishes, highlighting local and seasonal products, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The highlight of the evening was the bride and groom dancing under a starry sky, while all around, the guests let themselves be carried away by the magic of the moment. The whole event exuded love, authenticity and joy, and it is this mixture of simplicity, beauty and emotion that made it an unforgettable wedding.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My #1 tip for a couple starting their wedding planning is to take the time to clearly define their priorities. Before getting into the details, it is important to discuss together what really matters to them. Is it the atmosphere (intimate, festive, romantic)? The location (outdoors, in a reception hall, on the beach)? The budget? Once you have a clear vision of what you really want, the planning becomes much more fluid, and it avoids unnecessary stress. Stay true to your own style and values, and remember that the most important thing is to celebrate your love, surrounded by your loved ones.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of the personal touches I particularly appreciated at a wedding was an interactive guestbook, but not a simple book where guests leave their messages. Instead, the bride and groom had created a board with small blank cards, each representing a different question: “What is your favorite memory with the bride and groom?”, “What advice would you give to the newlyweds?”, or even “What was your favorite moment of the day?” Guests could then take a card, write their response, and drop it in a special box.
Not only did this give everyone the opportunity to share something personal, it also allowed the bride and groom to discover memories and stories they might not have thought of. This small gesture really added an intimate and warm dimension to the celebration, creating a living memory that they could keep forever. It was a simple but extremely meaningful detail.
