The Monastery is a magical South of France wedding venue, a tranquil world of its own combining Provençal charm and elegance. It is also a work of passion, as its current owners renovated it completely and returned it to its former splendour, whilst adding their own personal touches.
Located next to Moustiers-Ste-Marie, one of the most beautiful villages of France, the Monastery is surrounded by nature.
At the top of the hill you will find a path into the forest, leading you to Harry Potter-esque gates. Enter through and discover the domain: the chapel, the 19th century monastery, its courtyard, many gardens and a swimming pool.
At the monastery, each wedding is considered truly unique and the bubbly owners will endeavour to turn your dream day into reality.
Whether big or small there will be many possibilities for you to organise your wedding.
For the ceremony, you could choose the wonderful chapel (for up to 180 people) with high ceiling and grand piano. Another option is the natural amphitheatre in the garden which would be a magical setting for a blessing.
Then head into the courtyard of the monastery, an absolutely delightful space with a mosaic-pebbled floor and a fountain in its center.
When it comes to the wedding meal, you’ll be spoiled for choice. The terrace – set under a reception tent – offers a stunning setting for up to 200 guests, while the chapel can be transformed into a unique and intimate dining space for 120 to 150 guests.
Finally the domain can sleep up to 90 people.
This venue is hugely popular so make sure you book it a long time in advance.
It is to be noted that the owner can arrange a shuttle transfer for you and your guests from the airport to the Monastery. If you wish, there is also a service of in-house catering for the meals other than the wedding dinner.
