I have read all of Katie Fforde’s novels over the last twenty years or so, and A Wedding in Provence has a lot of the familiar elements that make her books so memorable. Although it features several characters from her previous book, it won’t matter if you have not read it. It stands on its own just fine, but some things will make more sense if you do. Of course I had watched every TV programme there was about chateaux, but interestingly, the one I created was quite unlike any of the ones I saw. Location, location, location.

It’s a beach wedding in the South of France or a modern wedding at a well-known hotel venue? For sure the location makes the difference.

This book is like a lovely, warm hug in front of a toasty fire, It's essentially The Sound of Music story, with less music and just enough original details so that it is not merely derivative. The setting (1960s Provence) could perhaps have been more strongly characterised, but the story is cute and a winning combination of sweet, clean romance with a hot French Count and a cast of other delightful characters (adults, children, big dog and small kittens) plus obvious 'baddies', copious amounts of chocolate - and did I mention the adorable kittens?

Each couple can fully personalize the decoration and have their chosen decoration provider. Also, they have access to the venue from Thursday to Sunday to have enough time to decorate the place as they wish. So, a wedding in this place for sure will exceed your expectations.It is a light, feel good book that will probably appeal to readers of women's fiction or romance novels. The entire day of the wedding befalls on the grounds of the property. Firstly, the wedding ceremony can be organized in the alley of magnolias, in a certain bucolic spirit in the olive groves, or at the edge of the pond. In Chateau de Sannes everything is possible. Secondly, the reception dinner can occur under the nomadic Orangery, a place that can accommodate up to maximum 350 people. If you want a more intimate wedding, the staff recommends you to choose another place of the Chateau, called The Bergerie.
