If you’ve ever dreamed of waltzing into your wedding day like it was straight out of a Netflix period drama, Jessica and Georges just set the bar. The couple tied the knot at the stunning Château de Champlâtreux just north of Paris, a venue so regal that guests couldn’t stop comparing the celebration to Bridgerton.

“People kept telling us our wedding looked like a scene out of the show, so we actually watched it afterward,” Jessica laughs. “They were right—it really did feel like a dream.”

Aerial view of a large historic chateau surrounded by manicured gardens, trees, and a long driveway leading through landscaped grounds. Ornate room with light blue walls, gilded moldings, a large mirror, floral arrangements on a fireplace, and two framed portraits. Woman in a white wedding dress with a structured bodice sits on a light blue upholstered chair in front of a paneled teal wall, looking at the camera. A woman in a white gown and gloves stands indoors on a black-and-white checkered floor, surrounded by green plants and flowers near large arched windows.

A Whirlwind Planning Adventure

Jessica and Georges didn’t exactly have the luxury of time when it came to planning. With most European venues already booked, their planner, Pia Abou Abdallah of Who Did This, worked magic to secure the château. “We wanted something with history, accessibility to Paris, and beautiful landscapes,” Georges shares. “The management at Champlâtreux was also really flexible, which made all the difference.”

There was one catch: the couple had to shift their big day to a weekday to snag the venue and lock in hotel availability. But when the chandeliers sparkled and the music swelled, no one was thinking about what day of the week it was.

Lebanese Traditions Meet Parisian Elegance

The day was an elegant fusion of cultures, with Paris as the backdrop and Lebanese traditions woven throughout. Guests were surprised and delighted by live dabke performances and Arabic music courtesy of Disco Dabke and Yousef Mallat. “We’re Lebanese, and Lebanese are very proud of their traditions,” Jessica explains. “It was important to us that our wedding reflected that joy and heritage.”

Of course, no Parisian château wedding would be complete without touches of personalized luxury. Their planner went above and beyond, even sewing custom outdoor parasols and hand-carrying personalized menus from Lebanon so each guest felt truly seen.

Ceremony Magic & Dancefloor Energy

The ceremony itself was pure romance. Picture lush florals from Les Ephemeres, Jessica floating down the aisle in a Joyce Saadeh Couture gown, Georges looking dapper in Boudi Dib, and the château as their backdrop. Photographer Petar Jurica captured every cinematic moment, and the couple’s glam squad, Sharbel Hasbany and Samy Zammar, made sure Jessica was glowing like royalty.

Once the vows were said, the party exploded with energy. From Anastasia’s live violin and cello performance to DJ Joseph Habchi and the powerhouse beats of Disco Dabke, guests were on their feet all night. As Jessica put it: “The only thing that you and the invitees remember is having fun.”

Lessons Learned

Looking back, Jessica and Georges credit trust as their greatest planning tool. They never visited the château ahead of time or sampled the catering by Grand Chemin Traiteur before the big day. “We just trusted our guts and had faith in the suppliers,” Georges says. “And it turned out better than we could have ever imagined.”

Their biggest advice? “No one notices the details as much as the bride and groom,” Jessica says. “What everyone remembers is the joy, the energy, and the fun.”

And based on the fact that their wedding is still “the talk of every gathering,” we’d say they nailed it.
