Location: Laroque-des-Albères • Occitanie • South of France
Rebekah and Julien’s wedding weekend at Château de Villeclare, a rusticwedding castle in Occitanie with a chapel and orchards, was the definition of joy: vibrant, relaxed, and full of laughter under the Mediterranean sun. Set on a 12th-century wine estate that recently underwent a chic renovation, the celebration stretched across three days of good food, great music, and even better company. With an English bride and French groom, this destination wedding became a perfect fusion of two cultures and one shared love for laid-back elegance. The South of France relaxed wedding location with onsite chapel, surrounded by 120 acres of vineyards and centuries-old oak trees, framed a celebration that guests will remember for a lifetime.

Boho Ceremony and a Family-Style Feast
The couple exchanged vows in the château’s quaint stone chapel before family and friends gathered beneath 300-year-old oak trees to celebrate the moment. Rebekah embodied the perfect boho bride, her effortless look matched by Julien’s understated French style. Guests were welcomed to a family-style reception beneath a Snazzy Camp bedouin stretch tent, beautifully positioned in front of the château. The long tables were set for a feast of regional flavours, laughter carrying through the vines as the couple made their entrance in a vintage wedding car—because why walk when you can arrive in style?
Glamping, Good Food, and Great Vibes
Planner Snazzy Camp, one of the most creative wedding teams in the South of France, perfectly captured the couple’s festival-inspired vision. Beyond coordinating décor and flow, they transformed the venue into a glamping village, providing chic bell-tent accommodation for 30–50 guests right on the estate. As evening fell, candles and festoon lights turned the courtyard into a glowing celebration of togetherness. The weekend carried on with food, dancing, and the kind of laughter that only comes from sharing a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Château de Villeclare proved to be the ideal host—a place where history met heart, and where every guest felt part of the story.
