6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
DRESS CODE: Come As You Are. Casual attire welcome —sundresses, nice shorts, linen, sandals.
Join us for a casual welcome dinner at the château to kick off our wedding weekend! We will have a French crêpe food truck serving up delicious savory and sweet crêpes, plenty of cider, and good company. This is your chance to settle in after your journey, reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and toast to the celebration ahead. The evening will be relaxed and fun—come hungry, ready to mingle, and save your dancing shoes for Saturday. Let the fête begin!
Sat, Sep 5, 2026, 5:00 pm - Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 4:00 am
DRESS CODE: Black Tie Optional, Color Mandatory. Formal attire with disco energy— tuxedos, gowns, and vibrant hues. We love bold colors, jewel tones, sequins, and anything that makes you feel fabulous. Shoe tip: The grounds are beautifully grassy— thicker heels recommended. Dancing shoes essential! Need Inspo? We have a mood board for that: https://analeaanddylan.my.canva.site/
The celebration starts with our bilingual ceremony at 5:00 PM where we will say "I do" surrounded by your love. Afterward, we will gather for a vin d'honneur—a French cocktail hour on the château grounds with aperitifs, passed hors d'oeuvres, and champagne toasts. At dusk, we will settle in for a bountiful bistro-style meal featuring local, seasonal ingredients and plenty of wine. As night falls, the energy will shift: the lights dim, the music swells, and the celebration transforms into an all-night disco fête until 4:00 AM. Come ready to dance, celebrate, and make the memories of a lifetime. Mangeons, buvons, dansons jusqu'à l'aube!
10:00 am
DRESS CODE: Très Relaxed. Laid-back, comfortable—pajamas, sweatpants, potentially your dancing shoes from last night.
We are not ready to say goodbye yet! Please join us Sunday morning for a farewell brunch at the château. There will be coffee and fresh pastries to help you recover from dancing until dawn. We can laugh about last night's dance moves, compare photos, and give everyone a proper send-off before the weekend officially ends.
