Guide to Your Destination Wedding in Brittany

Guide to Your Destination Wedding in Brittany

We’re kicking off your weekend today with another of our guides by taking you to France’s most northwestern region to discuss your destination wedding in Brittany. This region of France is a hilly peninsula bordered by the English Channel to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Bay of Biscay to the south and has around 1,700 miles of coastline which equates to a third of the total French coastline.

With it’s position bordering the English Channel getting to Brittany for your destination wedding couldn’t be easier with regular ferry crossings available from Plymouth, Poole or Portsmouth into St Malo or Roscoff. However if you don’t feel confident on your sea legs you can fly into the well connected Nantes Atlantique Airport located just outside of Brittany or to the smaller Rennes Bretagne Airport, of course some people who live in other places decide to visit other different locations as the country weddings Sussex in UK.

With its mild climate that is somewhat warmer than the southwest of England, rugged and rocky coastlines with beautiful sandy coves and beaches and its rich Celtic culture, Brittany is certainly worth your consideration as a region for your destination wedding in France. To get you more acquainted with ‘petite Bretagne’ we’re going to kick things off with a visit to the wonderful Chateau de Kergurione…wedding venue Brittany

Stephanie and Julien’s wedding was certainly a lesson in teamwork and how effective and beautiful the outcome can be when everyone works well together. I’m sure you will agree when you check out the images from their rustic blue teal and white wedding in Brittany.

Chateau de Kergurione has 3 reception rooms that can accommodate up to 130 guests for a sit-down meal or for larger parties you can setup a marquee and enjoy the view of the park, the river and the Chateau. Set within several hectares and with direct access to the sea Chateau de Kergurione is an exceptional setting for your destination wedding in Brittany.Garden wedding ceremony
