Weddings in Paris
Paris Wedding Packages
AUREARGENT is a Monaco-based concierge house working across Paris. We build the day around your venue and your guest list: coordination, photography and chauffeured transport under a single contact, with the rest of the suppliers held and briefed for you.
The offer
What a Paris wedding package covers
There is no fixed tier. A wedding in Paris is priced by its venue, its guest count and its season, and any package quoted before those three are known is a guess. What is fixed is the shape of the work.
One contact, from first call to final gallery
You brief once. We hold the venue, the caterer, the florist, the music and the ceremony timings, and we come back with a single costed proposal rather than nine quotations to reconcile.
On the day, the running order is ours to keep. You are not the one telephoning a supplier who is late.
- Venue search, shortlist and negotiation, including exclusive-use terms
- Supplier selection, contracts and payment schedule
- Run of show, timings and the officiant
- Guest logistics: arrivals, hotels, transfers
- On-the-day coordination
Photography, in house
The photography is ours, not subcontracted on the day. Paris rewards a team that already knows its rooms and its light: the golden hour on a Haussmann rooftop, the grey-blue of a winter morning at the Trocadéro, the low light of a hôtel particulier at dinner.
Two photographers on a full day, and delivery in weeks rather than months.
Getting everyone there
The whole chauffeur-driven fleet is available in Paris: saloons, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, SUVs, VIP vans for a wedding party travelling together. Paris traffic and one-way systems make the timing a question in itself, and the car for the couple is a decision of its own — it is in every photograph of the departure.
Before anything else
The one rule that decides your whole plan
A civil marriage in France requires one of you to have lived in the commune for at least a continuous month before the banns. Almost every international couple that marries "in Paris" completes the civil formality at home and holds the real day here.
What that changes in practice
The ceremony you and your guests will remember is a symbolic one, and it is not constrained by a town-hall diary. That is a freedom, not a downgrade: you choose the hour, the room and the light.
It does change the order in which things get booked, and it is the single point where couples lose months. Settle it first.
- Civil formality completed in your own jurisdiction, beforehand
- Symbolic ceremony in Paris, at the venue and hour you choose
- Religious ceremonies on their own terms and lead times, at the parish or synagogue of your choice
- Vow renewals follow the same logic, with fewer constraints again
Sizing the day
Let the guest list choose the venue
If the number of guests is what decides, rather than the other way round, the shortlist writes itself. Paris and the Île-de-France offer four distinct kinds of room, and a date quietly removes half of them.
Four kinds of venue
Season is the hidden constraint: the palace hotels lose their best dates to the fashion weeks and the couture shows, and the châteaux outside the city are the ones that hold a large summer wedding. We shortlist against your date and your numbers at once.
- Palace hotels — the Ritz, Le Meurice, the Four Seasons George V, the Shangri-La, the Plaza Athénée, the Peninsula: a few dozen guests to a few hundred, ballroom or private salon
- Hôtels particuliers — private mansions hired exclusively for the day, for an intimate reception in the heart of the city
- Châteaux of the Île-de-France — Vaux-le-Vicomte, Chantilly and their neighbours, within an hour of Paris, for the largest weddings and a garden
- On the Seine — a private boat or a riverside terrace, for a ceremony with the monuments as the backdrop
And for two
An elopement is not a smaller wedding, it is a different day. No seating plan, no running order to defend, and the whole budget free to go into the location, the light and the photography. The Trocadéro at dawn before the crowds, a rooftop above the rue de Rivoli, the Tuileries, a bridge over the Seine, or Montmartre at first light.
