Wedding Monaco: Get the best of your wedding.

December 11, 2019

As a wedding photographer in Monaco, I can say that a destination wedding in Monaco is a dream for good reasons.

Monaco is one of the smallest countries in Europe.

Moreover, it’s one of the most luxurious destinations in France to celebrate your wedding.

So Monaco or Monte-Carlo?

First of all, you have to know that Monaco is the name of the country. The city of Monaco has neighbourhoods, and Monte-Carlo is one of these. It is located on the hill, overlooking the main harbour, where you will find the casino and many luxury hotels.

Take the time to walk through the Monegasque streets in the early morning. Indeed, This is the perfect time for couples pictures. Last but not least, it is in the morning that the city offers beauty in all intimacy.

How to get the best of Monaco?

In the morning, the cafes wake up slowly and the terraces are empties. From the Cafe de Paris to the Port of Monaco you will appreciate the calm and the sophisticated architecture of the principality.

Brandie and her husband (pictures above) appreciated this atmosphere. This photoshoot was planned to get the most beautiful pictures without the crow.

Be ready to wake up earlier if you planned a photoshoot in Monaco, especially during the high season. Trust me, it worth the effort.

The rock of Monaco

The rock a lovely place. During your walk-in Monaco, make sure to stop by the oceanographic museum, one of the most beautiful in Europe.

The best places for a spectacular wedding party

Are you dreaming of a colourful celebration? Luxurious and unforgettable? The palaces of Monaco are for you. Hotel de Paris, Hotel Ermitage or Hotel le Metropole? All are reaching out for unforgettable festivities.

Hotel de Paris and its Empire Ballroom

Hall of legend, listed as a historic monument at the end of the 19th century, the Empire Room shines again with all its golds.

The details

Ceiling covered with gold leaf, vertiginous frescoes, chandeliers with sparkling tassels, bay windows opening onto the terrace and compete with the Place du Casino.

La salle des étoiles

With its 1000 m², the Salle des Etoiles is one of the most fascinating in Europe. Indeed, the panorama is unique. Think about it during your Monaco wedding planning.
