24/07/2026: We chose the Auberge Campagnarde Ailloud, a local venue whose owners we already knew very well. What a joy to be able to celebrate our wedding in a place so dear to our hearts, in the heart of the village where the bride grew up.
Just a stone's throw from the village center, yet nestled amidst greenery and traditional buildings, the inn offers an absolutely magnificent setting. The natural charm of the place is almost self-sufficient and ultimately requires very little decoration. The large tables with their wooden tops create a real "wow" effect on their own, enhanced by a few carefully chosen decorative touches.
We had access to the venue from Friday morning to set up our secular ceremony, and then inside the inn as soon as service was over. This allowed us to calmly prepare for our wedding, without any stress, and even to enjoy dinner on the terrace with our wedding party and close family the night before the big day.
Catherine guided us throughout the entire setup process, offering invaluable advice and allowing us to arrange the spaces exactly as we envisioned. This allowed us to comfortably accommodate our 130 guests for the cocktail reception and 75 for the meal.
We held our secular ceremony in the meadow adjacent to the inn. The space was more than adequate for all our guests while still providing a dedicated area for refreshments during our couple's photo session. We had also planned for gazebos as a backup in case of bad weather, but thankfully, they weren't needed! The inn's parking lot, along with another just a few dozen meters away, made parking incredibly easy for all our guests.
The cocktail reception then took place on the inn's terrace, shaded by trees and surrounded by lush greenery. The setting was absolutely stunning and was a hit with all our guests. The group photos were taken in front of the magnificent flowerbed near the terrace, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the cocktail hour. All the activities we had planned took place, including the ribbon game with the groom's bottle.
As night fell, we lit the garlands and lanterns we had added to the bistro lights already set up by the Bazin family. The atmosphere was magical. We served the cake and champagne outdoors before being dazzled by the fireworks display that our loved ones had arranged as a surprise.
The evening continued on a dance floor that was packed all night long. Our guests danced until after 5:00 a.m. in an incredible atmosphere.
A huge thank you to Catherine and the Bazin family for their availability, kindness, and trust. We couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful place to celebrate our wedding.
