Do you have any flight recommendations?
For those of you with travel credit cards, consider transferring points to Air France! Flights on Air France to Paris and Bordeaux are as low as 15,000 points!
Is there a hotel block?
No. Saint-Emilion does not offer hotel blocks like we are used to in the United States. Please book your accommodation ASAP if you are considering attending our wedding events. Saint-Emilion is a small town so please visit our travel page to book your accommodation before your preferences are no longer available.
Are kids invited to our wedding events?
Unfortunately our venues have limited capacity and we are only able to welcome those addressed on the invite you received. You are certainly welcome to bring kids along for the weekend to join in activities outside of the welcome party, wedding ceremony, reception, and day after BBQ pool party.
Is there transportation?
Yes! Transportation will be on time and will not wait, so please arrive to your pickup location at least 5 minutes early.
