LILY & SEB - MULTI-VENUE DESTINATION WEDDING FRANCE

THE EVENING PRIOR

(MANOIR DE LONGEVEAU)

Every wedding season should start with a bang and finish with one and so it was for Lily & Seb’s multi-venue destination wedding in South-West France.

This one kicked off with an informal ‘wine & pizza’ evening at Manoir de Longeveau which was acting as a base for the entire weekend, but not as the venue for the wedding day itself other than the prep.

And Manoir de Longeveau is very suited to this having accommodation on site for I think over 100 guests (??) plus the courtyard makes for a great setting for this open-air evening type of event.

WEDDING MORNING

The day started quite misty and flat with the odd burst of sunshine. Not surprising really as it was past mid-October for this season finale wedding.

Both sets of prep, ie, for Lily and Seb took place at Manoir de Longeveau before we parted for the day to move on to the place of ceremony that is covered in the next chapter of this event…

But prior to that, the pics below and mentions to both hair & makeup, Laura Cawte and flowers by Angie Steadman.

AND SO TO CHURCH…

Not the underground monolithic one that everyone else seems to use in Aubeterre, but the one up on the hill, Eglise Saint Jacques. It might not have quite the drama, but it’s a lot easier to work in for sure! And still pretty/very dramatic in it’s own right!

The ceremony itself was conducted by the Rev. Barrie Green.

COCKTAIL HOUR

And then on to Le Chateau Mas de Montet for the reception…

Champagne & canapés plus catering later on by Lovage & Pumpernickel.

I should add, that this entire wedding was organised by Marry Me In France who I have had the pleasure to work with on at least 20+ previous occasions at weddings throughout South-West France.

THE EVENING

After the outdoor reception (just a day or so prior, it was looking likely that even this could not take place outdoors) the wedding moved inside to the upstairs barn, perfect for a late October wedding, for the meal, speeches and dancing. Live music by Wefunk who also provided the trio during the drinks reception.

THE DAY AFTER

Golf, games and a BBQ concluded this fantastic event for Lily & Seb, their family & friends and the whole affair does indeed deserve the title of ‘Season Grand Finale’! That’s it, - I’m done, roll on 2025!!
