Do you have a number for a taxi from the airport (or back)?

See "Intl. Travel" page.

Where are the venues located?

Please see the home page for full addresses & the Villa L'Escalinade page for visual guide on how to get to the Sunday venue.

Should I eat before attending the Welcome Drinks?

The format is drinks & light tapas, and we have been told by the venue that no one should leave hungry. If you have a smaller appetite (especially in the heat!), or have had a larger lunch; you may be fine. If you have a larger appetite, you may wish to order extra food during the drinks, or go for a bit of food before/after!

How do I get to the Château Colbert Cannet from Sainte-Maxime?

We have arranged for a private coach to transport guests from Sainte-Maxime to Château Colbert Cannet at 1.30pm. The return journeys shall be at 00:30am and 2:00am.

To the extent that you wish to make the journey at different times, we would ask that you arrange your own private transportation.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no public transport which operates a route linking Sainte-Maxime with Le Cannet des Maures (the town in which the Château Colbert Cannet is located).

Is parking available at the venue?

Yes. Please do let us know if you plan on driving, so that we can ensure that there is enough space for everyone!

Will the ceremony & reception be outdoors?

Unless it's raining, the entire day's events shall be held outside.

Should I eat lunch before attending the wedding?

Yes!

Will children be attending the wedding?

In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult-only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!

Do you have a gifts registry / should I bring a gift with me?

Since you’re traveling for our wedding, making the trip is a gift in itself — gifts are absolutely not necessary! A card box shall be available to drop off any well-wishes on arrival.

Should I eat before the "Day after"?

The event shall be fully catered with lovely food, so no need to each lunch before.

Where should I stay / do you have any accommodation recommendations?

We would recommend that you stay in Sainte-Maxime for the duration of the wedding weekend and would encourage you to stay in one of the many hotels within walking distance of the town centre - this will provide far better access to all that Sainte-Maxime has to offer (restaurants, bakeries, bars, beaches, local ferries and buses etc.) as well as the transport which shall be arranged to and from the Wedding Day venue.

For those amongst you who wish to book villa accommodation suitable for larger parties, please note that Sainte-Maxime does offer this - but only a limited amount of them are within walking distance of the town centre.

When should I book accommodation?

While Sainte-Maxime is a reasonably small town of 20,000 year-round residents, it is used to an influx of tourism during the summer months and is known to host over 60,000 during the peak month of August.

The keen amongst you will note that certain options for accommodation may be available to book now however we'd suggest that there is no particular need to start looking or book until, at the earliest, 9 months before the wedding weekend.

When should I book flights?

Flights to Nice are not available to book until, at the earliest, one year before departure. Even at one year before departure, we have noted that the full timetable is not yet available to book and only becomes available closer to the time.

Google Flights suggests that the cheapest time to buy flights to Nice, from the UK, is generally around 6 to 7 months before departure.

Can we get Ubers to get around?

Ubers are starting to become available in the area but getting one cannot be guaranteed. We would highly recommend pre-booking taxis. Further details of taxi companies shall be made available on the "Travel to Sainte-Maxime" and "Local Transport" pages of this website.
