Planning A Destination Wedding

When planning our wedding we knew it was really important that our venue allowed us to have all of our family and friends together over a couple of days as we had guests travelling from the UK, US, Ghana and Nigeria. When we found Lartigolle, we fell in love, it was the only venue we visited and we knew it was perfect for us. A really special part of our wedding, was our welcome dinner on Friday night at Ferme de Labarthe, Anogie’s mother and aunts had prepared some traditional Nigerian dishes including Jollof rice which we had alongside some seasonal salads and chicken rotisserie – needless to say all of our guests loved it and it was all gone very quickly.

Chateau de Lartigolle

Chateau de Lartigolle is without a doubt a beautiful wedding venue, gracing our pages many a time and STILL making our hearts skip a beat. As well as the beautiful courtyard and stunning grounds the team behind it are incredible turning each couples vision into a reality. Just look at that picture-perfect outdoor reception. Pure goals. And have you seen the Croquembouche wedding cake? Mmm yummy!
