For couples dreaming of a destination wedding in France, the vision often includes rolling countryside, sunlit stone churches, and celebrations filled with artistry and romance. Morgane & Edouard’s wedding on May 17, 2025, at the enchanting Domaine du Bois Roger in Cléville, Normandy, was exactly that: a seamless blend of timeless elegance, heartfelt music, and flawless coordination.


As their luxury wedding guitarist, I had the privilege of accompanying every key moment of their day with live acoustic music, creating a soundtrack as luminous as the sunshine that graced their celebration.

A Heartfelt Ceremony at the Historic Église Saint-Michel in Cabourg


The day began in the charming coastal town of Cabourg, where the couple exchanged vows in the historic Église Saint-Michel Church. Guests arrived to soft acoustic melodies that set a tone of warmth and intimacy.


When the groom and wedding party entered, the gentle chords of Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door floated through the air, creating a poignant anticipation. Moments later, the bride’s entrance was marked by Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me, a tender choice that seemed to pause time itself.


During the signing of the registers, the atmosphere grew deeply moving with a heartfelt rendition of Hallelujah. And as the newlyweds stepped out of the church, sunlight streaming down, they were greeted by Always Love, a joyful anthem that carried them into the next chapter of the day.



Sunlit Elegance at Domaine du Bois Roger


From Cabourg, the celebration moved to Domaine du Bois Roger in Cléville, an exquisite Normandy wedding venue surrounded by nature and timeless French charm. This historic estate is a hidden gem in the heart of Normandy, often chosen by couples dreaming of an authentic destination wedding in France.


The afternoon cocktail reception unfolded under a radiant sky, with guests enjoying champagne and fine delicacies as live acoustic guitar music created an unforgettable atmosphere in the garden. The blend of French gastronomy, elegant surroundings, and live performance offered a perfect example of why Normandy is becoming a sought-after region for couples from abroad.



It was a day where every detail had been meticulously planned by Manon, the couple’s talented wedding planner. From the styling of the estate to the seamless flow of the timeline, everything reflected refinement, creativity, and genuine care. Such expertise is what transforms a wedding in France into a smooth, stress-free, and magical experience for international couples.


Every carefully curated element contributed to a flawless, joy-filled atmosphere, proof of how essential it is to work with experienced wedding professionals when planning a luxury destination wedding in France. Choosing the right wedding planner, musician, and venue is what turns a celebration into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.



A Reflection on an Extraordinary Day


For me as a wedding guitarist, Morgane & Edouard’s celebration was a reminder of why live music is so powerful: it doesn’t just accompany moments, it transforms them into lasting memories. This wedding was filled with beauty, laughter, and above all, love. With the perfect harmony of Normandy sunshine, an exceptional team of vendors, and a couple whose warmth shone through every detail, it was truly an unforgettable day.


For California couples considering a destination wedding in France, Morgane & Edouard’s story is living proof that elegance, artistry, and romance await you here. And with the right luxury wedding guitarist, your celebration can sound every bit as magical as it looks.
