“Rosie Paddon believes a wedding in France can be affordable for all.”
Easy for guests to travel to, fantastic local food, and beautiful romantic surroundings, Rosie adores living in the South West of France, and believes everything that makes a celebration is there, and all so simple and affordable. With her wealth of local knowledge, she can offer as much or as little help as you need to have your perfect wedding in this beautiful part of the world.
Rosie has lived in France for 14 years, and is able to put 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry around the world to use in organising exceptional French Events.
Her enthusiasm for the area – with its atmospheric architecture, the markets and love of food, and the diverse activities available, means that she can provide you with vital knowledge to help you plan your wedding, no matter what your budget. From hilltop castles, a local chapel with ancient frescoes, feasts in an enormous banqueting barn, or a romantic vine clad tower, your dream wedding is possible. Because needs vary for every aspect to be arranged, Rosie offers a bespoke service that is invaluable when organising a wedding from abroad.
To make your planning even easier, Le Restaurant de Montcléra offers a bespoke Private Catering Service.
As head chef and owner of this popular French restaurant, Rosie believes that a celebration meal can make or break a fabulous party, and can help ensure your day runs smoothly and successfully.
Although usually leaning towards a relaxed French fete atmosphere – spit roasting or barbequing over an open fire pit is their speciality – there is often a personal element relative to a couple that can be incorporated into a menu. Personal menus are devised to suit the occasion and the numbers involved. They are also experienced in Vegetarian and Vegan, and dietary intolerant options.
Le Restaurant’s lovely catering staff, are a must for use at events too large for clients to handle on their own. This is also the perfect answer for stressed hosts who want to organise their own event, but can use the consulting service, and can let the team take over.
Party in France is a bespoke service and every wedding or celebration is unique so do not hesitate to contact Rosie for individual help and advice.

“John and I wanted to write to you to thank you properly for all your wonderful help with the wedding. You were always so calm and professional whenever we spoke, (even when I panicked over the leaking loo!) and your help and advice was invaluable. Everything you organised for us worked beautifully and you were a great support to us both throughout the whole process – so a huge thank you. Your lovely girls were great on the day – friendly, cheerful and helpful despite the dreadful weather, so please send our thanks to them. It was a huge amount of work to organise a ‘simple’ wedding with all sorts of dramas thrown in, not least the weather! but in retrospect it was a special day and everyone has been very complimentary… The rain makes it all look quite magical in the photographs. I still don’t know how you and your girls managed to get everything down into the marquee with such short notice when it was raining. You were magnificent! Lots of people have commented on the delicious food…”

“I know we have already said how fantastic the day was, but thanks again for all you help, and the food was great and your staff lovely also…”

Never hesitate to chat to a planner that lives in the area you want to celebrate your wedding, she will have a wealth of knowledge of local places that could be your dream destination, and they may often be better value than something you have sourced yourself on-line – or even something you never thought of (fancy a party on a steam train, or a boat on the river Lot?)!
