If you are foreign nationals, note that there are various conditions to meet before you can have a civil wedding in France, and so in Bordeaux. I invite you to check the French Ministry of the Interior's website to review your options! Otherwise, you can have a religious wedding, celebrate a symbolic ceremony or hold your wedding reception in the beautiful Bordeaux region. Don't miss out on the wonders the city has to offer on your wedding day!

City of wine and canelés, crossed by the Garonne river, there is so much to discover! So here are a few ideas for your typically Bordelais wedding. First, for your reception venue in Bordeaux, you can't ignore the many châteaux and wine estates around the city, for a romantic, regal wedding surrounded by vines. In the city centre, you'll find many spaces to celebrate your union in buildings with classic Bordeaux architecture.

As for food, get ready to feast at your typically Bordelais wedding meal. The city is famous for its terroir, and close to the sea, including the much-loved Arcachon Bay, you can also enjoy oysters or duck specialities from south-west France.
