Do you dream of a French wedding? The Gers in South West France is the perfect place for you, and let me tell you why…….
Where is it and what is so special about it?
The historically-known Gascony region in the southwest corner of France has the Gers in the heart of and it is named after the Gers river.
It is one of the most beautiful and least-populated departments in France which means cleaner air, less traffic and an abundance of uninterrupted stunning countryside. With its rolling hills, fields of sunflowers, beautiful vineyards around every corner, ancient bastide towns and villages and panoramic view of the Pyrénées mountains, the Gers is the perfect wedding destination. It is unspoilt by tourism so you will get that authentic French experience here all year round. International airports are within a 1-2 hrs drive, with access to the mountains and the west coast within 2 hrs.
You have the beautiful wine regions of Saint Mont, Madiran, Côtes de Gascogne as well as the Armagnac area. Famous for its duck cuisine and delicious fresh farmers’ markets that will tickle your taste buds.
Magnificent chateaux are in abundance here, some are working wine domaines and others have been beautifully restored to offer weddings, just for you!
If you are unsure of where to get married in France and are looking for a quintessentially French venue, then make the Gers your No.1 destination.

Why should you choose a wedding planner?
A wedding planner handles the day of details, they help design and orchestrate your wedding from the beginning. As such, they save you valuable time and take the pressure away so you and your partner can enjoy your big day. They can help set up a budget, find and hire vendors, structure and set a timetable for the ceremony and reception, and oversee everything on the wedding day.
At Chic et Unique we provide full planning service, partial service or on-the-day coordination only.
For more information you can contact us via private message or via https://farm2table.kitchen/weddings-events

How do you choose your table design?
The tablescape is such an important part of the wedding design. It's the first thing your guests see when they enter the reception area, it sets the tone for the entire celebration and enhances the overall experience for you and your guests.
Whether you prefer simple and elegant, grand and lavish or classic and chic, as wedding planners we work alongside you to realise your vision.

A GRAZING TABLE.
What is a grazing table? A grazing table combines the best of a cheeseboard, charcuterie and crudités platter into one indulgent selection of food. There's no strict recipe for a grazing board – simply gather together all your favourite nibbles, and arrange on a large table to share.
Over the last few years they have become more and more popular at weddings and large events for a few reasons; they give that "wow" factor to your guests, they make for fun and festive mingling, and they are delicious!

Louisa, one of our founders here at Chic et Unique also runs a professional catering business and specialises in grazing tables using ingredients from her Gers based, organic farm and other local artisan producers.
