Just got engaged and getting married in Paris in mid-September (travelling from Australia.
Looking at a small daytime ceremony (will already be civilly married) with about 10 or so guests, take some photos around the city in the afternoon then somewhere nice for dinner.
I've looked at wedding planners who do elopements packages but they look a bit underwhelming and generic.
I was wondering if anyone had any well travelled sf'ers have recs for the following:
1. A venue in Paris for a small ceremony
Ideally, something like a small rooftop garden etc with a view of the city or perhaps a hotel room with a nice patio? The planners have some nice venues but are charging 4k+ euro which I find a bit much for something that will take no longer than 20 minutes. Something that has a bit of shelter from the elements would be even better!
2. Good Parisian wedding photographer
Happy to pay a decent amount for this provided they take great shots!
3. Good Parisian restaurant with a private or secluded dining area.
Ideally something quintessntially Parisian with good food and atmosphere?
The wedding planner quoted us a private dinner with $390 Euro... really? I dunno I'm from Australia
4. Accommodation
Best place to stay with 10 or so guests? We'll be staying for approx 7-8 nights so maybe an apartment rather than hotel? Last time we stayed in a hotel in the 6th and that's probably our fave district.
Budget wise I guess I'm looking to spend less than 2500 euro on each of the above.
4 months to plan a wedding on the other side of the world. This should be fun. I don't even know what I'm wearing
Helppppppppp!
