The ones I recommend

Caterers, hair, make-up, flowers, music, ceremony: the people I have watched work on a real wedding day, across Manche and Calvados.

ARNAUD CHAPELLE

A wedding that works is never one person. It is a team that gets on, keeps to time and is still smiling at two in the morning. Photograph enough of them and you end up knowing who is good at their job.

Nobody pays to be listed here — and nobody gets in by asking.

O Loup Saint Michel

Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel

He fed everyone beautifully at the Châteaux de La Lucerne d'Outremer, from the cool verrines at the cocktail hour to the tower of macarons and choux buns.

I came across them at a wedding this summer: a lovely way to run the cocktail hour. Thomas sets his bar up wherever you want it.

Une page avec vous

Normandy

She found exactly the right tone: plain words, and guests laughing and wiping their eyes in the same minute.

This list grows with every season. It only holds people I have met on the job — no commercial partnership, nothing paid either way. If you are looking for a trade that isn't here yet, ask me: I usually have a name in mind.

Frequently asked questions

Do these suppliers pay to be listed here?
No, never. No money changes hands, no commission. This page simply gathers people I have watched work at real weddings in Normandy. If I had not come across them, they would not be here.
How do you choose who goes on the list?
I met them on the job, on a wedding day. That is the only criterion. A caterer who holds the service together in the rain, a DJ who reads a room, a hairdresser who calms a bride at eight in the morning: none of that shows on a brochure.
Can I ask your advice on putting my team together?
Of course, and I would encourage it. I photograph enough weddings to know who works well with whom, and which supplier suits which venue. Asking costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
I am a supplier in Normandy — how do I get on this page?
By working together on a wedding. I add no one on request alone: this page is only worth something because every name is someone I have seen at work.
