Our Wedding

Our Story

Hi Everyone! It is our dream to get married in France surrounded by friends and family. We know it's a lot to ask and we are so grateful to each and every one of you for making our dream a reality. Below is a chronological guide to the wedding events and travel recommendations for the weekend to make this as seamless as possible. As you read this section, please remember that there are three important things for you to do: 1) you will NEED to have both doses of the COVID19 vaccine AND your BOOSTER shot to receive a French Vaccine Pass 2) have your passport and CDC card (proof of vaccination) ready for travel 3) book a room near the venue for the night of the wedding, May 28th, checking out May 29th (Moulin des Marais or B&amp;B Hotel). We recommend you book sooner rather than later! 1. Travel to Paris (recommended May 25th or 26th)2. Travel from Airport to Paris Hotel (recommended May 25th or 26th)3. Transportation from Paris Hotel to Wedding Site (May 28th @ 11:00am)4. Hotel for Wedding Night (Check-in May 28th @ 12pm, night of May 28th, checkout May 29th)5. Wedding Ceremony &amp; Reception (May 28th @ 4:00pm)6. Travel Back to Paris at 10am followed by Seine River Cruise (May 29th @ 4:00pm)

1. Travel to Paris

You can fly into either Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly Airport (ORY). If you fly in before May 28th (we suggest flying in 2-3 days before the wedding to adjust for jet lag), we recommend staying at Plaza Tour Eiffel or Happy Hotels for a more budget-friendly option.

4-star hotel located near the Eiffel Tower and 15 minute walk from the bus pick up location on May 28th. When booking, please write in the comments section “Stacey &amp; Sean's Wedding" and the hotel will apply the 10% discount automatically when they receive the booking.

Plaza Tour Eiffel Hotel

Happy Culture operates 13 hotel properties in Paris, France ranging in rates from roughly 70€ to 200€ per night.

2. Travel from Airport to Paris Hotel

For transportation from the airport to your hotel in Paris there are several options: 1) Taxi - Taxis are readily available outside of all three terminals, and will take you only 45 minutes to reach the city centre. Paris airport taxi rides at CDG are charged at a flat rate, and cost 55€ if your destination is on the right bank, and 60€ if it's on the left bank of Paris. There is no charge for luggage, however, they will charge 4€ per person in your party after the first 4 people. At Orly Airport: Only taxis located in stations located at the gates of the arrivals levels are authorized to pick up customers. These official taxis are recognizable by the light sign on the roof of the vehicle. If you are approached at the exit of the baggage claim by people claiming to be taxis, we invite you to decline any transport proposal. 2) Reserve a private car with Black Road Limo, where a driver will meet you at the airport with a welcome sign. Please send your reservation request to vincent@black-road.fr and mention "Sean &amp; Stacey's Wedding" - we have special rates shown below: 3 people + luggage: 95€7 people + luggage: 115€ 3) Taking a train from Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) is a fast and fairly cheap transfer option. The RER B train runs from Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) every 10 to 20 minutes, and takes around 50 minutes to reach the city centre. Tickets only cost 10€ one-way, and can be purchased at ticket booths in the arrivals terminal. There are no direct train lines from Orly airport to the city centre of Paris. You will need to take the Orlyval metro to the Anthony Train Station, and then change to lines RER B or RER C. The total journey will cost 12.10€ and will take&nbsp;around 60 minutes. Our recommendation is to take a taxi before you opt for an Uber as Uber can be expensive and unreliable in France.

3. Transportation from Paris to Wedding Site

On Saturday, May 28th at 11:00am, Black Road Limo Company will pick up our wedding guests to drive everyone to the hotels in Condécourt (Moulin des Marais or B&amp;B Hotel depending on your preference). You will be able to check-in around 12pm, drop off your bags, and get ready for the ceremony at your hotel. At 3:00 - 3:30pm, transportation will be arranged to get you from the hotel to the wedding venue (10-15 minute ride). Please text Stacey or Sean if you are staying somewhere else and managing your own transportation so we have an accurate headcount. Pick Up Location: Plaza Tour Eiffel32 Rue Greuze, 75116 Paris, France Pick Up Date/Time: May 28th, 2022 @ 11:00am (please arrive 20 minutes before to ensure timely departure) Bring your luggage with you as you will be spending the night in Condécourt after the wedding reception.

4. Hotel for Wedding Night

The wedding venue is about 45 minutes outside of Paris, and because of this we would like everyone to stay in Condécourt for the night of the wedding. We ask that you call or go online to reserve your room at one of the two hotel options listed below: ﻿Transportation will be provided to and from both of these hotels. You can also feel free to secure lodging at another nearby hotel, but will need to arrange your own transportation if you choose to do so.

Please note in the comments section "Sean and Stacey Wedding" and the hotel will apply our negotiated rate once they process the reservation.

Registry

You will need the original paper proof of your COVID-19 vaccine, a negative COVID test, and a sworn statement that you do not have symptoms in order to travel into France. To move around Paris and enter public areas, you will need a French Vaccination Pass which requires that you have both doses of the COVID19 vaccine AS WELL AS YOUR BOOSTER SHOT. See guidance below: On January 2, France’s entry rules changed. Fully vaccinated travelers coming from the United States (as well as minor children under 17 accompanied by a&nbsp;fully vaccinated parent or guardian) are still able to enter France with proof of vaccination, a negative test (as applicable; see testing requirements below) and a sworn statement they do not have symptoms of COVID-19 nor contact with someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19.&nbsp;For entry purposes only, for all vaccines approved for use in the United States, a booster dose is not required to be considered fully vaccinated. Some vaccines not approved in the United States do require a booster shot for entry purposes. Unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated travelers are required to show a compelling reason for travel, undergo a 10-day quarantine period upon arrival, and have various testing requirements. Entry rules depend on the country where travel originated. Please see Entry and Exit Requirements below for more information.&nbsp;&nbsp; French authorities accept the CDC card as evidence of vaccination for entry into France, but it is not accepted as a French health&nbsp;or vaccine&nbsp;pass required for domestic travel within France or to enter cultural sites, museums, theatres, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes, athletic facilities, medical offices and hospitals (except for emergencies), retirement homes, and some other facilities. &nbsp; HEALTH PASS /&nbsp;VACCINE PASS:&nbsp;As of&nbsp;January 24, France has changed the Health Pass to a Vaccine Pass for all people aged 16 and older.&nbsp;Existing health passes were automatically converted to vaccine passes, if the pass holder qualified. To qualify for the vaccine pass, the person must be age 16 or above, be fully vaccinated (two shots except for the Johnson &amp; Johnson/Jansen vaccine), and, if more than seven (7) months have passed from the second vaccine dose, a booster dose is required. (Beginning Feb. 15, a booster dose will be required four (4) months after the second dose.) These rules apply to everyone, residents and tourists alike. There is NO alternative to present a negative test for the vaccine pass. While recovery from COVID can take the place of one of the initial doses or, in some cases, the booster dose, this only applies if this occurred in the EU. U.S. and other foreign certificates of recovery are not accepted. The vaccine pass is required at all places where the health pass was previously required, except medical facilities, which only require the health pass. Children ages 12-15 also only require the health pass. Health pass rules are the same as the vaccine pass, except that no booster shot is required and a negative COVID PCR or antigen test provides a temporary 24-hour health pass.&nbsp;&nbsp; To obtain a vaccine or booster pass if vaccinated in the United States (or elsewhere outside the EU)&nbsp;the&nbsp;traveler must go to one of the&nbsp;designated&nbsp;pharmacies&nbsp;(The map of designated pharmacies is available on this website: <a href="https://www.sante.fr/obtenir-un-passe-sanitaire-en-cas-de-vaccination-letranger" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sante.fr/obtenir-un-passe-sanitaire-en-cas-de-vaccination-letranger</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;present their original, paper vaccination record (their CDC card), their passport, and&nbsp;a fee of up to 36 Euros. https://fr.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/ Below is the Pharmacy most closely located to Plaza Tour Eiffel in Paris: <a href="https://www.sante.fr/node/1257256" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pharmacy Place De Mexico</a>Officine pharmacy91 Rue de Longchamp75016 Paris
