The guide
Budget, timeline, key steps: concrete benchmarks to prepare your day with peace of mind in the department.
Between Laval and Château-Gontier, Mayenne lines up characterful châteaux, restored barns and countryside estates nestled in unspoilt countryside. Two hours from Paris and at the crossroads of Brittany, Normandy and the Pays de la Loire, the area appeals both to local couples and to those coming from elsewhere for a wedding in the green.
The budget of a wedding in France varies widely depending on the study: around €8,300 according to Ipsos (general public panel), up to nearly €19,300 according to the Mariages.net observatory (couples using vendors), i.e. around €200 per guest. Whatever the budget, allow a margin: more than one couple in two exceeds their initial budget. Catering remains the top item (nearly 40%), ahead of the venue (around 15%). In Mayenne, more affordable venues than in big cities help aim for the lower end.
In France, eight weddings out of ten take place on a Saturday, and nearly 6 in 10 in summer, June and July leading (INSEE). On the planning side, 67% of couples start more than six months ahead and 44% more than a year (Ipsos). For a highly sought-after venue in peak season, it's best to book well in advance.
First set the budget and the date, then lock in the reception venue: it's what drives the number of guests and the style of your day. Then come the caterer, the photographer and the entertainment, to book early as the best vendors go fast. Decoration, stationery and details fall into place in the final months.
