Love filled the air and laughter echoed through the enchanting grounds of Les Etangs des Vignes (Beaulieu-Sur-Loire) on the 23rd of September 2023, as Andy and Candice exchanged vows in a magical celebration of their union. As their wedding planner, I had the pleasure of orchestrating every detail of their special day, and from the outset, it was clear that this would be a truly unforgettable event.

Love At First Sight

From our very first meeting, I knew that Andy and Candice were a couple with whom I would enjoy working closely. Their trust in my expertise and vision made the planning process a joy, and together, we crafted a wedding that reflected their unique love story and personalities.

Candice and Andy are truly the epitome of a lovely couple, radiating warmth, kindness, and a zest for life that is infectious to all around them. Their fun-loving personalities and open-mindedness made collaborating with them an absolute delight. They welcomed new ideas with open arms, infusing the planning process with creativity and excitement.

Their willingness to trust my expertise and embrace unconventional ideas made for an exhilarating and rewarding experience. Crafting a meticulously scheduled day that seamlessly incorporated their vision and preferences was a joyous task, and seeing it all come together on the day of the wedding was the ultimate reward.

Coordinating their celebration was not only a professional achievement but also a deeply gratifying experience. Witnessing their joy as they exchanged vows surrounded by their loved ones was a poignant reminder of the profound significance of love and commitment. It was an honour to play a role in bringing their dream wedding to life, and I will forever cherish the memories of this extraordinary day.

A Castle Full Of Amazing People

Set against the backdrop of a picturesque small castle nestled amidst woodland, with a serene pond providing a dreamlike setting for the ceremony, the atmosphere was nothing short of enchanting. Despite the slightly cloudy and chilly weather, the warmth emanating from the gathering of 110 cherished guests enveloped us all, creating an atmosphere of love and joy that transcended any meteorological concerns.

The company of Andy and Candice’s family and friends only added to the magic of the day. Their kindness, humour, and genuine warmth made me feel less like a wedding planner and more like an honoured guest, sharing in the laughter and camaraderie that filled the air.

The heartwarming presence of Andy and Candice’s friends and family added an extra layer of joy to the festivities. The groomsmen and bridesmaids, with their unwavering support and infectious enthusiasm, played an instrumental role in ensuring that every detail of the day was executed flawlessly. Their dedication and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed, and their efforts truly enhanced the overall experience for the happy couple and their guests.

Moreover, the invaluable assistance of Andy and Candice’s parents cannot be overstated. From offering words of wisdom and encouragement during the planning process to lending a helping hand wherever it was needed, their love and support were felt at every turn. It was abundantly clear that everyone involved, from the couple’s nearest and dearest to the dedicated suppliers and vendors, shared a common goal: to ensure that Andy and Candice’s wedding day was nothing short of perfection. And, thanks to the collective efforts of this remarkable group of individuals, that goal was not only met but surpassed, leaving indelible memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Of course, such a memorable occasion would not have been possible without the contributions of our exceptional team of suppliers. The venue’s staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the day ran smoothly, while the florist’s exquisite arrangements added a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings (D Emotions). The caterer’s culinary expertise delighted the guests (Entre Loire et Sologne), and the photographer skillfully captured every precious moment of love and merriment (MIDS Photography). And, of course, the DJ’s infectious energy kept the dance floor packed throughout the evening, ensuring that the festivities continued long into the night (Mixology Sax & DJ).
