Victoria and John approached their wedding with one simple guiding principle: plan a celebration they would genuinely want to attend. That mindset shaped every decision and resulted in a Parisian wedding weekend that felt immersive, thoughtful, effortlessly chic and an experience as memorable for their guests as it was meaningful for them.

With many loved ones visiting Paris for the very first time, the couple wanted to introduce the city in a way that felt celebratory rather than touristic. The festivities began with a private boat cruise along the Seine, allowing guests to take in the iconic skyline at a relaxed, golden-hour pace. On board, a curated champagne tasting invited everyone to discover different blends and styles, turning the cruise into both a sensory and cultural experience. For dessert, Victoria and John skipped tradition in favor of something distinctly Parisian: delicate French madeleines from Ritz Le Comptoir. A refined alternative to towering cakes or macaron displays, they were elegant, unfussy, and perfectly on theme. As guests disembarked, they were treated to ice cream, an understated but joyful nod to the groom’s favorite dessert and a detail guests still talk about.

The wedding day itself unfolded at the Château de Champlâtreux, an elegant 18th-century estate just an hour outside of Paris. From the beginning, Victoria envisioned a décor that would transcend trends, something timeless and rooted in classical beauty. A palette of white, green, and soft gold set the tone, complemented by traditional shapes and refined floral compositions. While many couples dream of an outdoor reception, hosting a celebration in a French château invites you to fully experience its history. The decision to host dinner indoors allowed guests to dine surrounded by ornate architecture and original 18th-century artworks, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and grand.

Food and wine were central to the couple’s vision of hospitality. Every wine and champagne served throughout the celebration was personally selected by Victoria and John after extensive tastings. Working alongside an independent sommelier, they curated pairings that elevated each course and reflected their shared love of gastronomy. The result was a true fine-dining experience that remained intentional, indulgent, and deeply personal.

As the evening unfolded, the celebration transitioned seamlessly from refined to exuberant. A signature cocktail bar served the couple’s favorite drinks late into the night, while entertainment blended modern and meaningful influences. A contemporary pop band set the mood before handing over to a DJ who brought in traditional Greek songs, a heartfelt tribute to the bride’s heritage and a moment that brought everyone to the dance floor.

Just when guests thought the night couldn’t become more magical, the sky lit up. In a moment entirely unexpected by the bride, fireworks erupted above the château (a surprise secretly planned by the groom.) It was a cinematic finale to a wedding defined by intention, generosity, and joy.

Victoria and John’s Paris wedding weekend was not just a celebration, it was an experience for all of the senses. One designed with care, elevated by beauty, and rooted in the simple idea that the best weddings are the ones you’d love to attend yourself.
