Château Lagorce recommended supplier: Wedition
Why do you love having Wedition as one of your recommend suppliers and what is it about a Wedition wedding that stands out so much?
Wedition is a perfect keepsake as it tells you about how the couple met, where their special day is held, useful information about the area and when the festivities take place.
When Château Lagorce couple Sophie and James married here, they provided a Wedition to their guests in the bedrooms upon arrival. This meant that the guests were able to learn the history of the château, know what the timings were for the weekend and see the menu in advance. It was also a great way for them to find out who was in the wedding party and read about the proposal story of Sophie and James.
“We were planning our son’s destination wedding in France and we wanted to give the guests some information about Château Lagorce, the area and details of the wedding weekend. We decided that Wedition would be a professional option.
Our guests were delighted with their Wedition’s and especially liked the personal pages about the proposal and the hen party. It saved us having to do separate order of services and menus and it is also a very nice keepsake.” Marian - mother of James the groom
