The Day Before
Vanessa and Logan’s chateau wedding festivities kicked off with an evening Seine River cruise that couldn’t have been more Parisian if it tried. With the Eiffel Tower shimmering in the background, their guests gathered on the boat, catching up over laughter and champagne as the iconic skyline drifted by. Friends and family had traveled from near and far, bringing together loved ones from all over the world. The Seine sparkled beneath the evening lights, and it was clear from the start that this celebration was destined to be something truly special.
When Vanessa and Logan decided to say “I do” and have their chateau wedding, they envisioned a celebration that would be as unforgettable as their love story—a dream destination wedding at the enchanting Château de Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, just a stone’s throw from Paris. This magical château, with its lush gardens and elegant architecture, became the perfect backdrop for a day filled with love, laughter, and a few surprises along the way!
As their Paris wedding celebrant, I was thrilled to help bring this day to life, witnessing each beautiful chapter unfold. From the intimate pre-wedding cruise to the emotional ceremony under the trees, every moment was infused with personal touches that made their celebration truly one-of-a-kind. Let’s dive into the story of Vanessa and Logan’s wedding day, one unforgettable chapter at a time.
The Wedding Day
The next day, anticipation filled the air at Château de Saint-Martin-du-Tertre as Vanessa prepared for her big moment. Surrounded by her bridesmaids, close family, and loved ones, she was the picture of calm and joy, taking in each moment as she transformed into a radiant bride.
The château’s historic walls and beautiful gardens added an extra layer of romance to the day, while her mother and friends shared in her excitement, offering loving touches and small words of encouragement. Vanessa’s grace and beauty shone through in every detail of her look—her gown, her delicate accessories, and her bouquet, each as timeless as the château itself.
The Groom is getting ready
While Vanessa was surrounded by the buzz and excitement of her bridal suite, Logan enjoyed a quieter morning, preparing for the big day with his closest friends. Set in one of the château’s elegant rooms, the groom’s suite offered a warm, relaxed atmosphere where Logan could soak in the gravity of the day ahead.
Dressed in a tailored suit that perfectly matched the classic charm of the château, Logan spent a few moments with his groomsmen, sharing laughs, advice, and even a toast or two. Each detail of his look, from the polished cufflinks to the boutonniere on his lapel, was thoughtfully chosen, giving him an air of timeless elegance.
Watching Logan get ready was a reminder of how the day’s preparations can be both celebratory and reflective, marking the transition from fiancé to husband. His calm and grounded demeanor seemed to set the tone for the beautiful day ahead.
The First Look
One of the most emotional parts of this chateau wedding day was Vanessa’s first look with her father. There was something deeply moving about seeing her father’s face as he saw his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress. It was a beautiful moment of shared memories and love, and the look in his eyes spoke volumes about the pride and happiness he felt. Moments like these are what make my role as a Paris celebrant so special—witnessing the connections that make every wedding unique.
