Set on a wine estate in the heart of the Luberon Regional Nature Park, La Bastide de Marie is the perfect place to say "I do". In fact, the estate itself has embraced nature, which shines through the seasons. A place of chic, relaxed elegance, simply perfect for celebrating this moment that we hope will last forever.
The setting could be that of a romantic film, the kind with a cinematic aesthetic that makes us dream. Everything about this elegantly decorated 18th-century bastide, with its beautifully laid tables, chic country lunches and dinners under the stars, speaks of the beauty of nature, of Provence and of those love stories about to be sealed. Like the wedding celebrated last summer, during several sunny days when the air was fragrant with lavender and roses.
Couture Weddings in Nature
The guests meet the day before, in an intimate and exceptional setting, as the bastide is nestled in a 24-hectare vineyard planted with hundreds of olive trees. Each wedding is tailor-made to suit the wishes of the bride and groom, who are accompanied every step of the way right up to the big day, and even the day after, with an infinite number of refined possibilities. A top-of-the-range concierge service is also available.
Here, every wish can be fulfilled: an arrival "cocktail dream" set against a backdrop of lavender and hundreds of rosebushes, a "welcome dinner" in the vineyards, with only the Luberon hills on the horizon and that special light that casts a golden glow over the vines at the end of the day. Or why not opt for a tasting in the cellar, where three-colored wines are produced to the highest standards, or a generous barbecue in the gardens. It goes without saying that the landscape plays with different scents and colors with each passing season: rosebushes and multicolored flowers bursting into bloom in spring, lavender and roses exhaling their delicate fragrances in summer, glowing vines and hills blazing in autumn.
Dream Wedding Day
The ultimate in luxury, for the Wedding Day, the bride and groom can be pampered with their witnesses, and enjoy a beauty treatment at the Pure Altitude spa, nibbling on mignardises and tasting vintage bubbles: manicure, hairstyling, make-up... all before embarking on an ultra-relaxing Gourmandise du Sud treatment, which includes a suspended moment of Gommage aux Cristaux de Neige and a Jasmine body wrap. Then, to the sound of cicadas and a jazzy orchestra, the lovers say "I do" outside, at the altar beneath a flowery arch. This is followed by lunch in the shade of the linden trees, on the pebble-paved terrace, and a bespoke dinner prepared by the Bastide's chef, François Martin, to be enjoyed under the stars and the guinguette-style garlands, by the light of which they will dance afterwards as they munch on the sweet and savory buffet set up for the night.
As for the Day After, the bride and groom and their guests can gather around the pool for a generous Sunday brunch with sunny accents, in the gardens around a tasty barbecue or in the midst of the vines for a chic picnic. And don't forget that the Maisons et Hôtels Sibuet offer the happy couple a one-night stay for their "noces de coton", to relive the magic of those moments we'd like to keep forever.
