As a wedding celebrant and violinist, I had the immense pleasure of officiating the intimate wedding ceremony of Kristy and Matthew in Saint Tropez, at the stunning Château de la Messardière. Surrounded by breathtaking views and their closest loved ones, we created a deeply personal and emotional moment that reflected their love story. It was a true honor to guide them through this unforgettable celebration, blending words, music, and meaningful rituals. I’m so touched to share their kind words about this beautiful day.
This wasn’t just a wedding. It was a deeply personal, emotional experience — a moment suspended in time, surrounded by only their closest loved ones. Their intimate wedding ceremony in Saint Tropez was everything a modern couple could hope for: meaningful, heartfelt, and beautifully unfiltered.
From the very beginning, Kristy and Matt wanted their intimate wedding ceremony to reflect who they truly are — a couple who love deeply, parent with intention, and live with joy.
We crafted a unique symbolic ceremony, blending words, music, and rituals that spoke to their story. The ceremony opened with live violin as guests settled into the sun-drenched garden of Château de la Messardière in Saint Tropez. The atmosphere was soft, romantic, and full of emotion.
As part of the ceremony, we included a hand blessing ritual, just before the exchange of rings — a quiet, powerful moment symbolizing the connection between their hands, hearts, and future.
But what made this wedding ceremony even more special and intimate was the presence of their daughters. Just before the vows, we invited the girls to join us. With tenderness and intention, Matt gifted each of them a necklace, a beautiful and symbolic gesture to show his love and lifelong commitment to them as well. There were very few dry eyes in the crowd.
This was more than a union of two people. It was the celebration of a family.
"Carole officiated our intimate wedding and created a ceremony more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. From the moment we connected with her, she was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling our story. The way she wove our journey together—with heartfelt words, romantic details, and her breathtaking violin performance—left not a dry eye in the crowd.
She helped us shape an intimate wedding ceremony that felt so personal, so seamless, and so full of love. Even our kids were moved to tears, especially during the special moment she encouraged us to include them in—something we’ll always treasure.
Our guests were raving about how meaningful and unique the ceremony was, and we are endlessly grateful. If you have the opportunity to book with Carole, do not hesitate—she is truly gifted, and we feel so lucky to have had her be such an important part of our day.
Thank you, Carole, for giving our family and friends a moment they’ll never forget. We certainly never will."
