Katie & Jacob brought both of their families from the U.S. to Provence for their destination wedding that felt deeply intimate, profoundly personal, and unmistakably French. They chose La Bastide de Marie, a discreet 5-star Provençal hotel, where every stone carries that authentic South-of-France charm—and they turned it into a true family retreat for two unforgettable days.

a welcome dinner designed as a warm reunion: long conversations, candlelit ambiance, and genuinely exceptional French cuisine—generous, elegant, and made to be shared.

on the wedding day, The ceremony itself was the heart of the weekend: small, intimate, and emotionally powerful, with vows that left no one untouched. The reception carried the same refinement, with elevated table styling built around a bold yet timeless green and red palette—lush, editorial, and perfectly balanced against the bastide’s warm, rustic textures.

And then the night shifted. The energy exploded into a party that was, simply, absolutely wild—the kind of dance floor where elegance and chaos coexist in the best way, where everyone is fully present, and the celebration becomes pure joy.
