Award Winning Words

A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to play our part in the beautiful wedding of Mellaney & Joachim from Holland.  It was such a beautiful day, in a beautiful chateau, among beautiful people. Today I received a message from their wedding photographer, Ruud Claessen, who is a multi award winning photographer, from Holland. Good day ladies! I hope [...]

We first met Aurelie and Olivier in February to discuss their wedding plans.  As is often the case with French weddings, today's couple held their legal wedding ceremony at the local Mairie.  Following this, they arrived in style with their huge entourage of family and friends for a ceremony in the gardens of the ancient church at St Privet de Pres. The Candy Stripes [...]

A Sunday Wedding

2023-08-30T13:37:25+01:00June 8th, 2017|

South West France is Dotted with Fabulous Chateaux South West France is dotted with fabulous chateaux and weddings are hugely popular but not everyone wants to get married on a Saturday.  Today's wedding party travelled from Holland and, as many of their guests were travelling from Holland over the weekend they chose to get married on a Sunday. Saturdays book quickly.  Couples travel to [...]

French Wedding

A Wedding for a Vintage Fan Several months ago we were contacted by a French couple who LOVE everything vintage and retro!  They wanted a Candy Wedding and of course... Candies being Candies... we had to say yes. The wedding was held at the Domaine équestre de Lauzerte, which is a large equestrian complex with its own Salle de Fetes.  There were also several [...]

Simply Beau…

2023-05-13T10:17:35+01:00July 30th, 2016|

Today's wedding had a musical theme running throughout the day.  Catherine and Paul are both musicians and they wanted their wedding to be informal and joyous with a festival feel to the day. They booked both REPLAY and The Candies and rather than have a Champagne Set and a Party Set there was simply music throughout the day.  And when we weren't playing other talented folks were! [...]

The Petal Marquee

Today was a joint gig with our friends at REPLAY.  The happy couple had chosen REPLAY-Chilled for their Ceremony and Champagne and then for something a little different they went with The Candies for their party... and because this wedding had it all, they followed us with a disco! The venue was the very pretty Domaine de Grolhier;  an imposing, 18th century private estate, nestled in the [...]

Feeling The Love

July has been busy and we've been on our travels across France, singing and bringing our kind of music to all good folks that book us! When I got home from our trip north on the Atlantic coast I had this email waiting for me... from a lovely couple who got married on the Med. My husband and I feel so lucky to have had [...]

Weddings at the Chateau

2023-05-13T10:17:36+01:00January 17th, 2016|

Yesterday the Candies were invited to attend a rather lovely wedding fayre being held at the equally lovely Chateau des Vigiers, just south of Sainte Foy de la Grande in the Gironde. We actually visited the venue on Friday and did our get in; it was going to be an early start in the morning so it felt better to have that done and out [...]
