Saturday is cocktail attire. Please avoid jeans, sneakers, shorts, or overly casual clothing — we can't wait to celebrate with everyone dressed for a beautiful summer evening. The rest of the weekend is relaxed elegance, more garden party than red carpet. Loire Valley evenings can turn cool, so bring a wrap or light jacket. And don't forget Sunday — there's a pool, so pack your swimsuit (and a pool towel, just in case).

This will be an adults-only celebration. For babies who can't be left behind, we can arrange a dormitory-style room in one of the château's outbuildings — parents will need to bring their own nanny or childcare solution for the weekend, along with their own travel crib or baby bed. Let us know in your RSVP message if you'd like to set this up.

Please check your invitation — we've addressed it exactly as we'd like. If you have any questions, just reach out to us directly.

Loire Valley summers run warm and mild — typically 20–27°C (68–80°F) by day, cooler after dark. Rain is uncommon but not impossible, so we'd suggest packing layers just in case.

Both. The ceremony and speeches will move between English and French, and most of the château staff are comfortable in either language.

If you're staying on-site, you're welcome to sleep at the château both Friday and Saturday night. Sheets and towels are provided — just bring yourself.

Yes — free, on-site parking is available for the full weekend.

Your presence at the château is the only gift we need. If you'd still like to contribute to something, we've created a honeymoon fund for our trip to Australia. The link will be provided closer to the wedding.
