Extend Your Stay, Elevate Your Experience
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At French’s Point, the magic of your wedding weekend goes beyond the big day. By adding a lodging extension, you’re giving yourself—& your loved ones—the gift of time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Imagine arriving early to settle in, soak up the stunning coastal views, & start making memories before the festivities begin. Or lingering longer with a Monday departure to enjoy lazy mornings, meaningful conversations, & the joy of being surrounded by your favorite people.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Staying longer transforms your celebration into a true vacation—where every moment feels like part of the celebration, & you can savor the beauty & tranquility of our property without rushing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lodging extension means more time for lawn games, bonfires, beach walks, & connection. It’s a small decision with a big impact on how you & your guests remember this incredible time together.
