Wedding Related Questions

  • The dress code is formal. We encourage guests to wear suits and ties, and refrain from wearing short dresses. As temperatures may drop in the evening, consider bringing a light jacket or wrap. Additionally, since the grounds feature grass and pebbled paths, anyone wearing heels may want to opt for a block heel for added comfort and stability.

  • Due to limited space, we kindly ask that you refer to your invitation for information about plus-ones. If you have questions or need clarification, please reach out to our wedding planner at hello@rachaelellenevents.com. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating with you!

  • No! Since the château is in a small town with limited lodging options, we’ll be arranging accommodations for all our guests within a 15-minute drive, so everyone can relax and enjoy the weekend together.

  • You can reserve your room through our accommodations page. If you have any questions or need help with booking, please reach out to our wedding planner at hello@rachaelellenevents.com.

  • We’d love for all guests to arrive by Friday afternoon in time for the welcome party. A light lunch will be available earlier in the day for those arriving before the afternoon festivities.

  • Some accommodations will be available starting on August 14th, but please note that meals and transportation will not be provided on that day. If you’d like to arrive early, reach out to our wedding planner at hello@rachaelellenevents.com for guidance on securing a room.

  • Yes, transportation will be arranged between the accommodations and the château for all wedding events. More details will be shared closer to the date.

  • All meals from Friday afternoon through Monday morning are included in your stay. We’ve planned everything to keep you well-fed and carefree throughout the weekend. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please reach out to hello@rachaelellenevents.com so we can accommodate your needs.

  • Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift to us. However, if you would like to give something, we have a registry available. No gifts are expected—your company is more than enough!

Other Questions

  • Yes! To avoid roaming fees, we recommend using an eSIM—a digital version of a SIM card embedded in your phone. Nomad offers data plans starting at $15 for 10 GB, which is an easy and affordable way to stay connected during your trip.

  • We recommend packing comfortable shoes, a swimsuit, and a light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings.

    Please bring a power adapter, as French outlets differ from those at home. We highly recommend this adapter.

    Please note: Devices with heating elements—such as hairdryers, straighteners, curling irons, and steamers—are not compatible with European outlets due to the higher voltage. If you plug them in, there’s a high chance they’ll be damaged or stop working altogether.

  • Guests will have access to a swimming pool, a tennis court, a soccer pitch, and bikes for exploring the surrounding area.

  • Unfortunately, the accommodations do not have air conditioning. However, most rooms are equipped with fans and shades to help keep things comfortable.

  • If you’d like help planning your trip, we highly recommend WalkEurope, a private tour and travel planning service run by Charlotte’s uncle, Tom. They specialize in creating custom European travel experiences.

    You can explore more about their offerings at WalkEurope.

  • Yes! All of the accommodations will have free on-site parking.
