Planning a wedding in France from abroad is exciting, but it can also feel like a lot.
You’re searching for venues, planners, florists and musicians in different sites, Facebook groups and often in French.
As a wedding photographer based between Bordeaux and Cognac, in Charente‑Maritime, I work regularly with English‑speaking wedding vendors in this region. I’m not a wedding planner – I simply help you match with trusted vendors I know from real weddings and would recommend to my own friends and family.
Every vendor here is comfortable welcoming English‑speaking couples and has experience with international weddings. Some speak fluent English, others work regularly with bilingual team members or planners to make communication smooth.
A private, curated list – shared personally
Instead of a big public directory, I keep a private, up‑to‑date list of English‑speaking venues and suppliers in my region. I use it to create personalised shortlists so you only spend time contacting people who fit your date, style and budget.

If you’d like help finding your wedding team in France, fill in the short form. I’ll ask a few quick questions, then send a small selection of English‑speaking vendors in your wedding area that match your guest count and budget – with no fee and no obligation to book.
