We at the Moulin Brégeon will work with you to fashion your perfect wedding day. Within your budget, we will incorporate your choice of style and colors, realizing your vision by helping you with invitations and favors; creating your wedding cake; ensuring excellent floral arrangements; setting the various parts of your ceremony within  beautiful locations; and - of course - transporting, lodging, feeding, and entertaining your guests. If you plan for more guests than can sleep comfortably at the mill, we will also ensure arrangements at a charming auberge nearby, or even a 16th century chateau!
