Italy or France reasonably priced weddings

Would anyone have any suggestions for reasonably priced wedding venues in France, ideally near Milan, Bordeaux, Lyon, or Nice? It would be for ~80 people, have some accommodation attached and ideally have a pool option for a day 2 after party.

Everything i have seen is £££££ but I would definitely consider somewhere more rustic.

One of my cousins got ‘married’ in France but because they were UK residents the couldn’t do the legal Mairie/Town Hall bit there. So had to have a registry office ceremony in the Uk as well. Just something to bear in mind. (Although rules may have changed).

£54k for the basics. Sounds like they only want to deal with the rich. Which is fine.

I bet they didn’t mention that there is an inverse correlation between the amount spent on the Wedding Day and the length of time you’re married for? Smile

Why an Expensive Ring May Predict a Short Marriage

Extravagant wedding spending is often viewed as a sign of love and commitment. However, research finds that those who spend the most have the shortest marriages.
