A Modern & Romantic Paris Wedding

The Wedding Day

 

Taylor and McCauley’s wedding day dawned with a mix of excitement and anticipation. While the weather was pleasant overall, Paris added its touch of charm with a few showers just before the ceremony.

 

Before the ceremony, Taylor and McCayley had a private first look on the streets of  Montmartre. The couple exchanged vows in the private gardens of the Musée de Montmartre, a serene and romantic setting steeped in history. The decor was soft and elegant, with pastel pink and white floral arrangements perfectly complementing the lush greenery.

 

A violinist serenaded guests as they took their seats, creating an enchanting atmosphere. The ceremony was deeply personal, featuring emotional vows and heartfelt speeches from loved ones. A family member officiated, making the moment even more meaningful.

 

Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a whimsical ride on the Petit Train de Montmartre. This iconic tourist train, privately booked for the wedding, wound through Montmartre’s cobblestone streets before taking them to the river Seine. An accordion player added a joyful Parisian soundtrack to the journey, filling the air with classic French melodies.

​

Despite a few drops of rain during the ride, spirits remained high, and guests delighted in exploring the historic district in such a unique way.

 

The reception was held aboard a private boat on the Seine, offering an unforgettable experience of dining and dancing while cruising past Paris’s most famous landmarks.

 

As the boat embarked, guests enjoyed cocktails accompanied by a one-of-a-kind vinyl bar. The DJ invited everyone to pick records and request songs, setting a relaxed and interactive vibe. The clouds parted during cocktail hour, and the party was treated to a few rays of golden sunshine, adding a magical touch to the evening. They also had so much fun waving to people who were standing on bridges and on the riverside as everyone was wavign back and admiring the bride and groom.

​

Dinner was a feast for the senses, with simple yet elegant decor: single-stem white roses in tube vases and soft candlelight creating a glowing, intimate ambiance. Guests savored fine French cuisine while the boat glided under Paris’s illuminated bridges, passing landmarks like Notre Dame, Musée d’Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower.

After dinner, the celebration continued as the boat glided back to its dock. Taylor and McCauley shared an intimate moment during a private rehearsal on the upper deck, framed by the twinkling Eiffel Tower, before officially opening the dance floor with their first dance and heartfelt parent dances. As the DJ spun records late into the night, guests filled the dance floor, creating an electric atmosphere of joy. For those seeking a quieter moment, the upper deck offered lounge seating, providing a cozy retreat to savor the sparkling Parisian skyline and the magic of the evening.

A highlight of the night was the cake-cutting ceremony. Just as the Eiffel Tower began its famous sparkling display, Taylor and McCauley sliced their cake, a moment of pure magic that drew cheers and applause from their guests.

Taylor and McCauley weren’t ready for the night to end, and many guests joined them for an after-party in central Paris. It was a lively, joy-filled way to close out an already unforgettable day.
