WHen is the best time to get married in Paris?
Paris is beautiful all year round, but some seasons may be more suitable for your wedding than others. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the best time to get married in Paris:
- Weather: Generally, the spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons, with mild temperatures and sunny days. The summer can be hot and humid, but also lively and festive. The winter can be cold and rainy, but also cozy and romantic.
- Crowds: Paris is a popular tourist destination, so you should expect to encounter crowds and queues in some places. The peak season is from June to August, when the city is full of visitors and events. The off-season is from November to February, when the city is quieter and less expensive.

Other Things to Know When Planning Your Parisian Wedding…
Here are some other things that you should know when planning your Parisian wedding:
- Legal requirements: To get legally married in France, you need to have a civil ceremony at the local town hall, which requires a minimum of 40 days of residency in France and a lot of paperwork and documents. Most couples choose have a symbolic ceremony in Paris and a legal ceremony in their home country, which is easier and more flexible.
- Language: It is always polite and appreciated to learn some basic French phrases and words, such as bonjour (hello), merci (thank you), and je t’aime (I love you).
- Transportation: Paris has a well-developed and efficient public transportation system and you can also use taxis, Uber, or private cars. We always recommend private drivers and the Metro.
- Culture: You should also dress appropriately and stylishly, especially for formal occasions. Here is a great guide for how to dress in Paris.
