Friday Welcome Drinks

Dress Code: Smart Casual We're kicking off the wedding weekend with relaxed welcome drinks and a laid-back pizza party by the pool. Smart casual, something you’d wear to a stylish summer evening with friends. You should feel comfortable and there’s no need for anything too formal. Sundresses, jumpsuits, or chic separates. Light fabrics, bold colors or playful prints are perfect. Wedges, sandals, or stylish flats are great. Linen shirts, short- or long-sleeved button-downs, polos or smart tees paired with chinos or tailored shorts. Loafers, boat shoes, or trainers. It’s an outdoor evening in warm weather, so dress for comfort, but with a nod to celebration.

Wedding Day - Formal Attire

We're so excited to celebrate with you in the beautiful French outdoors this August! The dress code is formal, but not stuffy, think elevated summer garden party: elegant, festive, and full of colour, and cool enough for potential high temperatures. Suits are the way to go, any colour, from classic neutrals to softer summer tones. Ties are optional, and an open collar is absolutely welcome. It’s all about looking sharp but feeling relaxed in the warm weather. Cocktail dresses or longer flowy styles are perfect. Bright, joyful colours are encouraged (we kindly ask you to avoid black). Whether you go for short, midi, or long, we’re happy, as long as it’s celebratory and you feel great in it. We politely ask that you skip hats and fascinators for this one! It's just not our style. Parasols will be available to protect from the sun. Thank you!

The Chateau is very remote and there are no Uber services, taxis need to be booked in advance&nbsp;and a time set for pick up. While there is no end time, it's probably a safe bet to organise pick up from 12:15 onwards, or whenever works for you! &nbsp;Taxi’s in/around&nbsp;Aubeterre&nbsp;&amp; Bonnes:•&nbsp;Taxi&nbsp;Descout-Chartier - Tel: 05 53 90 24 25&nbsp;Adresse:&nbsp;Les Henrys - 24410 Saint-Aulaye&nbsp;••&nbsp;Taxi&nbsp;Apic&nbsp;- Tel: 05 53 91 27 80&nbsp;Adresse: Le Bourg - 24410 Saint-Antoine-Cumond&nbsp;••&nbsp;Taxi Frederic Bernard –&nbsp;Tel :&nbsp;06 43 40 95 23•&nbsp;Roger Rutland –&nbsp;Tel :&nbsp;07 85 81 25 94,&nbsp;05 09 64 19 38 07 (landline) ••&nbsp;Taxi Brouillet Emmanuelle - Tel: 06 86 80 25 46&nbsp;﻿Adresse: Lieu&nbsp;Dit&nbsp;La Croix&nbsp;–&nbsp;16390•&nbsp;Nabinaud&nbsp;French&nbsp;mobile :&nbsp;0033 06 38 53 48 03: Private hire people carrier (max. 8 people) Peter Grubb&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@petroldesign.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Email: info@petroldesign.co.uk</a>&nbsp; Taxi’s in/around&nbsp;Chalais,&nbsp;Brossac&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Montmoreau•&nbsp;Taxi des&nbsp;Mirandes&nbsp;/ Sabine –&nbsp;Tel :&nbsp;06 03 11 56 41 23&nbsp;Route des&nbsp;Mirandes&nbsp;16190&nbsp;Montmoreau•&nbsp;Taxi Regis –&nbsp;Tel :&nbsp;06 07 06 41 10&nbsp;4 Les&nbsp;Pascauids, 16190 St Amant de&nbsp;Montmoreau&nbsp;••&nbsp;Taxi&nbsp;Brossac&nbsp;- Tel: 05 45 98 21 82&nbsp;Adresse: Bois Billaud - 16210&nbsp;Chalais&nbsp;••&nbsp;Chalais-Taxi - Tel: 06 89 85 75 07&nbsp;Adresse: 17 Rue De&nbsp;Barbezieux&nbsp;- 16210&nbsp;Chalais&nbsp;••&nbsp;Taxi Constant - Tel: 05 45 64 95 55&nbsp;Adresse: Le Bourg - 16320&nbsp;Gurat&nbsp;••&nbsp;Pouyade&nbsp;Denis - Tel: 05 45 65 48 09Adresse: 8 Rue De Gamby - 16320&nbsp;Villebois-Lavalette•&nbsp;Travelkar&nbsp;33 –&nbsp;Tel :&nbsp;06 79 74 92 26<a href="mailto:Fred@travelkar33.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fred@travelkar33.com</a>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.travelkar33.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.travelkar33.co</a> Telephone&nbsp;numbers&nbsp;starting 05 are typically landlines and 06 or 07 are mobilesRemember with UK Mobiles to add in +(00)33 and remove the first 0,i.e. 06 xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;becomes 00 33 6 xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;or +33&nbsp;6 xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx&nbsp;xx
