Q&As
-
Can we hold a symbolic ceremony in French and English at the estate?
Yes. The symbolic ceremony can be held indoors or outdoors, in one of the estate’s many spaces with different atmospheres. You choose its order, readings and officiant freely, in French, in English or alternating between both languages so that each family can follow the ceremony.
-
Can we stretch the wedding over several days at the estate?
Yes. Your guests stay on the estate, so the wedding can stretch over three or four days: arrivals on Thursday, a welcome meal on Friday, ceremony and reception on Saturday, brunch on Sunday. The programme is built with the team, remotely and then on site.
-
Does the team at Domaine le Mezo speak English?
Yes. The wedding team is bilingual in French and English. Franco-Canadian couples and English-speaking guests can talk in their own language, from remote planning to the wedding day itself. A symbolic ceremony can also be held in both languages, with a translated order of service for your guests.
-
How long does it take to travel from Montreal to Domaine le Mezo?
Direct flights link Montreal to Nantes in about 7 hours. The estate is then about 1 hour 15 minutes away by train or car. The rest of the year, you fly into Paris, and the train reaches Vannes in about 2 hours 30 minutes. Vannes station is around ten minutes from the estate.
-
How many guests can stay on site?
The estate has over 100 rooms, for up to 250 guests. Guests are spread across the Château, the Farm Houses, the lofts, the yurts and the lodges. For families who have flown in from Canada, it means waking up in the same place every morning, with no travel to arrange between two days of celebration.
Why get married in France when you live in Canada?
For many couples in Canada, France brings to mind long tables and evenings that carry on late into the night. South Brittany adds a setting that is less expected than the best-known French destinations. Domaine le Mezo lies 10 minutes from the Gulf of Morbihan, in a 25-hectare park with three ponds and century-old trees.
The Château and its spaces bring the whole wedding together on one estate, from the ceremony to the next day’s brunch. When you are planning from across the Atlantic, that means fewer contacts and fewer transfers. For a Franco-Canadian couple, France also balances the two families: some arrive by train, while for the others the wedding becomes a trip. To explore the estate, visit our presentation of the Domaine.
How do you plan a symbolic ceremony when you live in Canada?
The symbolic ceremony can be held indoors or outdoors: the estate has many spaces with different atmospheres, which lets you adapt to the seasons. You choose its order, readings and officiant freely.
The civil marriage follows its own procedures: check with your town hall or consulate.
From Canada, the bilingual team prepares the ceremony with you remotely, in French or English, then your loved ones join you on site, staying on the estate.
How can you bring two families and two languages together on your wedding day?
The estate’s team is bilingual. You plan your wedding in French or English, and your guests find people on site who understand them. A Happy planner follows your project from the first conversation to the big day.
The ceremony can switch between both languages, with a translated order of service so everyone can follow along. The programme can also blend traditions from both countries: the rehearsal dinner and next-day brunch on the North American side, the vin d’honneur (the French drinks reception after the ceremony) and a late party in the estate’s club on the French side.
Choose one contact person per family to handle practical questions from relatives. That way, you stay free to enjoy your own wedding. More ideas are available on our page about family celebrations at the estate.
How do you plan a multi-day wedding for guests travelling from Canada?
When your loved ones cross the Atlantic, a wedding naturally stretches over three or four days: arrivals on Thursday, a welcome dinner on Friday, a symbolic ceremony in the park and dinner in the main reception hall on Saturday, brunch on Sunday. Arriving a few days early also gives everyone time to adjust to the six-hour time difference with Montreal and Toronto, or nine hours with Vancouver.
Everyone stays on site. The Château hosts the couple and their closest relatives, and the 7 Farm Houses suit families, while the lofts, yurts and lodges work well for groups of friends. Details are available on our page about large-group accommodation.
Between the main moments, your guests can discover the region, from kayaking on the Gulf of Morbihan to the standing stones of Carnac.
How can you introduce your guests to French gastronomy?
For guests travelling from Canada, the food is part of the journey. The cuisine at La Table du Mezo follows the seasons and relies on short-supply-chain Breton produce, some of it grown in the estate’s kitchen garden. The restaurant holds 2 toques in the Gault & Millau guide. In the kitchen, Vincent Thomas and Kevin Gatin, formerly with Anne-Sophie Pic, work alongside pastry chef Franck Geuffroy, trained at Alain Ducasse.
From Canada, share your guests’ dietary needs and intolerances early, along with the dishes that matter to your families. If you plan a scouting trip to France, the tasting can take place then.
Your wedding in France at Domaine le Mezo
A wedding in France planned from Canada rests on a few early decisions: the season, the language of the ceremony and the number of guests to accommodate. The rest comes together with the estate’s team, remotely and then on site.
At Domaine le Mezo, the whole wedding takes place on one estate in South Brittany, from the symbolic ceremony to your guests’ accommodation. Proposals are tailored to the spaces and accommodation available on your chosen dates. For an overview, see our page on getting married in France in Brittany.
