Chapter IV · The ceremony
How to marry in Provence.
Legal ceremony
A legal marriage in France takes place at the mairie of a commune where one of you, or a parent, is domiciled or has lived for at least a month when the banns are published, and the banns then run for 10 days. Foreign partners usually also need a certificat de coutume from their embassy and sworn translations. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the local registry and your own embassy before you book.
Symbolic ceremony
Non-resident couples hold a symbolic ceremony at their venue, led by a celebrant, and marry legally at home. A religious ceremony in France may not take place before the civil marriage, so sign the legal part at home first if you plan a church blessing.
The weekend
Of the 8 venues listed here, 7 publish rooms for guests on site.
Local custom
After the ceremony guests gather for the vin d'honneur, a champagne reception, and the meal ends with a croquembouche, a tower of cream-filled choux buns bound with caramel.
