Vow renewal ceremony in Villefranche sur Mer, near Saint Tropez

As a celebrant and violinist, I had the joy of officiating Angela and Philip’s intimate vow renewal ceremony in Villefranche sur Mer (06). Surrounded by the charm of the French Riviera, we created a heartfelt, bespoke moment filled with music and emotion.

"We recently celebrated our love again—this time on the cliffs above the beach in Villefranche sur Mer. Philip completely surprised me with this beautiful vow renewal ceremony and somehow found the extraordinary Carole Entre (@entrenous.wedding) to bring it all to life.

From the start, Carole was thoughtful, organized, and fully tuned in to what made us who we are. She suggested we stand on the rocks above the shore so the sailboats, coastline, and open sea became our backdrop. It felt cinematic and serene all at once.

She wrote and delivered the most personal, heartfelt vow renewal ceremony—folding in how we met, what we love about each other, and little moments only we would recognize. It wasn’t a script. It was a story—our story. And in between, she played the violin so beautifully it gave me chills.

She even introduced us to a wonderful videographer who captured everything without ever being in the way. Every part of the day felt seamless, personal, and filled with care.

Oh—and she brought me the most perfect bridal bouquet. All white roses, just like I love.

If you’re ever celebrating love with a vow renewal ceremony in Villefranche sur Mer, near Saint Tropez, Provence or the Côte d’Azur, Carole is a rare gem. I can’t imagine a more meaningful way to say “I still do.”
