Sunset in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie

6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

We plan on going into town to explore the evening farmers' market, grab some drinks, and do the short 20 min hike at sunset up to Notre Dame de Beauvoir, the historic church at the top of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. We'd love for you to come join us! After the hike, we will also reserve some tables at a bar in town. Feel free to join for the hike, drinks, or both!

Check-In [for those staying at the wedding venue]

Please come check-in and register for your room at the monastery. If you need to check in outside of these hours, please let us know!

Welcome Lake Party

4:30 pm - 9:30 pm

We're kicking off the festivities with a day by Lac de Ste-Croix! Join us for a wedding prelude set against the backdrop of crystal-clear waters and majestic mountain views. Explore the gorge on pontoon boats, indulge in delicious food and drinks, and dance the day away to the beats of our vinyl DJ.

Free Time

11:00 am - 4:30 pm

Take the afternoon to explore nearby towns and lavender fields and grab lunch. Or, relax in the monastery's pool and explore the permaculture orchard and vegetable garden on the property.

Wedding

5:00 pm

The big day is here! Our ceremony will take place outdoors, surrounded by the monastery’s lush gardens and ancient stone walls. Afterward, the celebration continues in the cloisters, where we’ll kick off the evening with a reception and raise a glass together as we savor Provençal hors d’oeuvres. From there, we’ll gather for a sit-down dinner featuring the flavors of the region. As dinner concludes, a live band will take the stage, inviting everyone to dance under the starlit sky. Later, we’ll move into the chapel, where the DJ will keep the party going late into the night.

Summer Night Market [on your own]

6:00 pm - 11:00 pm

We won't be around anymore, but wanted to give you all a heads up that the town of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie will be hosting a Summer Night Market in the middle of the village featuring local products, craftsmen, producers, and performances! A great way to say goodbye to Provence and cap off the trip. Feel free to check out the town's schedule of events, which will fill up closer to the date: https://www.moustiers.fr/en/node/1282
