I have some exciting news. I have been contemplating for a while about finding someone new to bring a fresh perspective to the business and have found the perfect person. 🥂

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to Cassidy, who will be taking over Noble Nuptials. With a background in Communications and luxury fashion events in Paris, I am confident that she will do a great job taking Noble Nuptials to greater heights and am really looking forward to working with her on the weddings we have already booked together. Having Cassidy onboard will allow me to spend more time on venue consultancy, running retreats and being a celebrant.

Congratulations to Lauren and Joshua 🥂 A pink, green and dog/pet-themed wedding at the Chateau de Cas last weekend. A beautiful sunny day, but parasol heaters were required in the evening. 620 night lights spread over 12 tables helped keep the tent cosy as well!

Did you know you can have anything you want printed on top of your Espresso Martini now!! This couple chose a picture of their cherished dog ❤️

Thank you 💚 for this wonderful review:

Having already masterminded the wedding our our eldest Ellie to David in September 2018, Hannah and her team pulled a second rabbit out of the hat for our second daughter Lucy’s wedding to George, in May 2024, at our house in the Tarn. Despite very challenging weather conditions in the buildup to the two day event, Hannah‘s flair for calm and unflappability was a store of much needed comfort to the family. Several levels of improvisation were called for and her team executed on this with aplomb.  In the end, the sun shone and all was well. We had the sense that even though we didn’t have to push the button on Plan B, there was always a plan C and D lurking in Hannah‘s mind behind the scenes.Predictably it poured with rain on the Monday morning less than twelve hours after the last guest departed the scene! 

Her team of helpers over both Saturday and Sunday were as ever courteous, friendly and professional and it is clear that Hannah has her at her disposal an impressive address book of suppliers ( caterers, electricians, tent hire, florists, the list is endless ) all of which forms the backbone of  top notch service and only serves to enhance the client experience. We could not be more grateful for all the effort that team Hannah put into what was another extra special wedding at home. 

We still have one wedding to go and should our third daughter decide to marry in France, we are sure to consider asking Noble nuptials to return to the party!

Time to celebrate 🥂 for a second time with the arrival of these fabulous photos from So happy the weather was on our side for the ceremony in the clearing. Wishing Nicole and Park a very long and happy future together.

🧡 A big Congratulations to Kate and Hayden who had an At-Home wedding on the 6th of July. Lots of personal touches with the Order of Service, Menus, Wine List, ☀️ flower seed packets as favours and mini bottle of Armagnac for each guest (they are in the Gers which is known for these) 🧡

The weather was almost on their side. It was touch and go for the outdoor ceremony but we managed to have it on the lawn by the pigeonnier, which was their Plan A.

The heavens opened during the cocktail reception but we had a tent to cover the back courtyard, so nobody got wet 😁

Dinner (a delicious 4 course, vegetarian, sit-down meal) was in a Marquee, positioned next to a small barn, which was transformed into a temporary kitchen.

Dancing was under the overhang to the barn and on a parquet floor that had been fitted for the weekend.

A wonderful weekend, that finished with a tasty BBQ, sun and fun in the pool.

Looking forward to the pro photos from the lovely

🍾 Celebrating over 10 years of Wedding Planning in France 🥂 I started Noble Nuptials in 2013 and this beautiful couple, Mia and Seb, trusted me to deliver their perfect day in June 2014. 2014 was a whirlwind of a year for me and it has been that way ever since ✨

A big thank you to all of my couples who have placed their trust in me over the years and to my suppliers for helping to make the magic happen.

Congratulations to Nicole and Park who are still enjoying brunch and a pool party as I write. As we were putting the tables out on the lawn yesterday morning, the heavens opened (there was no rain due at that time on any of our forecasts! 😬) and we moved everything back up to the barn, to ensure that there were no surprises during dinner. It was a wise move, as the wind got up later and the temperature dropped 🌡️ We did manage to have a rain free ceremony in the clearing and plenty of ☀️ today for the pool party.

A big thanks to:

Party Planning 🎉 Two days of festivities at this beautiful Manoir. A welcome dinner for 36 on the Saturday, followed by a lunch for 70 on the Sunday. J+M came up with the theme for lunch: 1950s through to the 2010s, with old books they had sourced online for each era. There was a quiz just before lunch, which resulted in a tie-break/dance off to 'The Macarena' and Beyonce's 'Put a 💍 on it'. Great fun!

Saturday's delicious BBQ, Lebanese lunch was thanks to .tough_catering

"Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is" Irish Proverb

And there was plenty of food and laughter on the Sunday for this farewell brunch and lunch.

I love the relaxed feeling the day after a wedding. Quite often there are games and live music or a DJ round the pool. If you'd like this for your event, we can easily source decks (if you have a friend who likes to DJ) and a wide variety of lawn games?

Difficult to select which photos to post from this gorgeous wedding, as there were sooo many 😍 ones to choose from, thanks to . Great to be working with Alexandra, and lots of the other suppliers who helped make this day go with a bang, for this year's events. A big cheers to Lottie and Luke and their fabulous family and friends. What a weekend! ✨

Ever thought about giving the day after your wedding a theme and asking your guests to dress up? Such a great idea by this couple and a real giggle too. I love coordinating the day after a wedding as the vibe is so relaxed 😎 🍾 I've also been known bring my karaoke system and get everyone singing 🎤

Did you know that I offer a day-after-the- wedding-clean-up service (even if I haven't been booked to coordinate the wedding) that allows you (your family and friends) to have a relaxing morning, while me and my team clear up the debris, remove the bottles and rubbish, tidy the hire Items ready for collection and install your brunch. I can also provide lawn games, a team to set up the bar and serve drinks and host a karaoke singathon.
