Wedding Day – Lynn & Stephen

hôtel du palais

Wedding day

Biarritz

Lynn and Stephen chose to hold their wedding at Biarritz’s most exclusive and breathtaking venue. Built in 1854 on a hill overlooking the ocean and former home of Empress Eugenie, the Hôtel du Palais is the only palace on the Atlantic coast. From the unique furnishings to the refined paintings and tapestries, the décor is both timeless and steeped in history. The promise of an unforgettable wedding.

Imagine a setting where the deep blue of the Atlantic meets the unparalleled luxury of an imperial palace. From the moment they arrived, guests were greeted by the majesty of the Hôtel du Palais, where every nook and cranny exudes the splendor of a bygone era. Ornate ceilings, sparkling chandeliers and delicate frescoes provided the perfect backdrop for this exceptional wedding.

Lynn and Stephen come from the USA with their loved ones, and had fallen in love with the town of Biarritz. They wanted to celebrate their weekend in a spectacular atmosphere where French elegance was the order of the day. Their vision was to create a unique and captivating celebration! Every detail of their celebration was designed with the utmost intention.

The ceremony was enhanced by the presence of a string quartet, whose melodies accompanied every moment with elegance. The bride’s entrance, to Pachelbel’s famous Canon in D, was a moment of great intensity.

The reception, held in the prestigious Salle des Ambassadeurs, was both intimate and spectacular. The large table, sublimated by a veritable corridor of flickering candles whose glow seemed to dance with the shadows of the room, offered a light show that was both dramatic and spellbinding. Every detail, from the refined decor to the letterpress-printed D-day stationery, contributed to a setting where authenticity and sophistication blended to perfection.
Dinner, the evening’s centerpiece, was an exceptional culinary experience. Tailored to reflect Lynn & Stephen’s story, the menu offered a gastronomic journey through the places that have marked their lives: New York, Japan, Turkey, Korea and, of course, France to represent the present and their hopes for the future. Each dish, made with top-of-the-range products, celebrated the unique flavors of these destinations while perfectly harmonizing with the luxury of the event.
To transform these unforgettable memories into a timeless work of art, a live painting artist immortalized the celebratory dinner on canvas. This masterpiece of live creation not only entertained guests, but will also become a treasured keepsake, testifying to the exquisite taste and timeless elegance of this reception.
