Your wedding at the Carrières des Lumières

From £160,000, all-inclusive, for one evening and about 100 guests: the Carrières all yours, the exhibition for your guests, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you get it in writing within a week.

Once we’ve agreed, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, a wish added along the way.

We replace them. They’re our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.

Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd’s. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can’t be there, as set out in the policy terms.

You can, it's a remarkable place. The Carrières rent you the whole site for the evening, with the current exhibition, and give you their list of approved partners. You then bring together the caterer and the staff, the furniture, the lighting and the sound. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the Carrières keep their own rate. You come to get married.

Up to 400 at a seated dinner and 750 for a cocktail party. The open-air Cour Picasso seats up to 350, the covered Espace Cocteau up to 250. From 20 guests to the big party, the quarry adapts.

Tell us your date, we check with the Carrières and reply in writing. The site is open all year round, and your evening begins once the doors close to the public. On a few summer and autumn evenings, the Carrières host their own public evenings: we check yours against them straight away.

The Carrières open for you in the evening, at closing time. Couples who celebrated here said I do earlier in the day, elsewhere in the Alpilles, then found their guests here for the exhibition and dinner. We set up your ceremony wherever you dream of it, and add it to your price. Vows in the Cour Picasso? We ask the Carrières for your date.

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall. Les Baux-de-Provence town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the party at the Carrières.

Yes: TGV stations in Avignon and Aix-en-Provence, airports in Marseille and Avignon, Arles 15 km away and Avignon 30. The village of Les Baux is under ten minutes on foot, and we share the best addresses around it.

Those staying in Les Baux walk back: the village is under ten minutes away. For everyone else, hotels in the Alpilles are close by. We give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.

From closing time until 1 a.m., the dance floor is yours. After that, the evening can carry on lounge-style, for those who want more.

Yes. The Carrières team creates a show just for you, from your photos, your videos and your music: in the Salle Dante as your guests arrive, or in the Espace Cocteau during the evening. Tell us, and we add it to your wedding.

The stone keeps it cool: 14 to 16 °C inside, a real treat on a summer evening. A light wrap is all your guests need, and dinner in the Cour Picasso is in the open air.

Yes, among the houses approved by the Carrières, seven today. We taste their menus with you, you pick the one you love, and we take care of the rest with them.

Yes: the Carrières are fully accessible to wheelchair users, and everything happens on one evening, in one place. A light wrap for the exhibition halls, and they are all set.

At your hotel or a house in the Alpilles, where you spend the day and say I do. The Carrières welcome you in the evening, when your guests are already in the exhibition.
