Wedding Venue Spotlight: Just Provence

 wedding venue Provence

Good Morning, I do so love wedding venue spotlight features, getting a change to go behind the scenes and dream of romantic jaunts to beautiful establishments.  Today certainly doesn’t disappoint, as we are taking a look an exclusive portfolio of rental properties in Provence that can provide the location for your dream wedding – delighted to introduce Just Provence!

I love Provence  and it is a fantastic destination for wedding receptions, a truly romantic destination. And the biggest secret about Provence is that the peak season is not the best time to visit! May and September are the best months to visit this magic place.

In May the blossom is out in all its glory, and the cherries are already ripening. All the vegetation is lush green and the temperatures are perfect for receptions outdoors. In both May and September the atmosphere is more relaxed, and locals have a lot more time to devote to tourists. Provence also boasts world-renowned, Michelin starred restaurants for your culinary pleasure, as well as historical sites and impressive natural features such as Montagne Sainte-Victoire and of course the Luberon National Park.

Over the past nine years, Just Provence has developed an exclusive portfolio of luxury rental properties throughout Provence, and some of these properties are ideally located and cater specifically for wedding receptions and other special occasions.

Take Domaine de l’Arc at Aix-en-Provence, or Domaine du Gourmet near Eygalières as examples, which can be found on their website. Whether you require a large estate capable of sleeping lots of guests, or a smaller, more affordable property, Just Provence has a fine selection from which to choose the perfect venue.

Just Provence is a leading reference in the field of luxury rental accommodation in Provence. Every property has been visited by one of their bilingual team, and only those properties meeting their exacting standards find their way onto the online portfolio, thus providing peace of mind to their discerning Anglo-Saxon clientele. What’s more, being local, the Just Provence team are ideally placed to recommend destinations that best match your requirements, and will help you organise your special occasion by arranging the services of English-speaking partner professionals.
