LAUREN & RAJ - THE COURTYARD CHATEAU
It was a welcome return of sunshine and blue skies for the entire 3 day weekend that was Lauren & Raj’s wedding at ‘The Courtyard Chateau’.
The event kicked off with a welcome ‘meet & greet’ pizza party complete with vintage style van and the most delicious pizza. Beer, rose, etc…
Regarding the wedding day itself, the bride Lauren got ready at a gite around 10 mins away and made a grand entrance in a black Jaguar with her dad and bridesmaids.
The ceremony itself took place on a sloping lawn within the shade of two huge pine trees and was conducted (a complete surprise to most!) by one of the groomsmen.
Afterwards, the guests were entertained by a roaming jazz band who again, were a complete surprise to most as they suddenly appeared out of the small chapel on the rear lawn just after L&J had poured a champagne tower.
The meal took place within the courtyard back at the front of the chateau followed by cake cutting (M&S fave, ‘Colin The Caterpiller’!) and then danced the rest of the evening away to a live band.
Day 03 was as these things usually are, a much more relaxed affair with some chilling by the bar, music courtesy of the several guest/DJ’s, some water sports and a hosted BBQ.
Great wedding, great people (usually are!) and a great vibe. The pics and video below as always can tell a better story than my words…
