Wedding vendors in Paris
Paris suits two kinds of wedding: an intimate elopement with a photographer at sunrise, or a formal reception in a hôtel particulier. Both are entirely doable from Australia with the right team.
Typical spend
€10,000 – €80,000
An elopement with a photographer, celebrant, florist and dinner can be done for a fraction of a full wedding. Private mansion receptions sit at the top of the range.
Best months
April–June and September–October
Dates outside these months are usually cheaper and easier to book.
