Is it possible to have your wedding at Notre Dame?

Actually Notre Dame is not available to rent on the inside, as it is traditionnally reserved for royals or famous weddings, however it is possible to have your Ceremony on the surroundings with great views of Notre Dame.

Here’s an episode of the Paris Wedding Show about this topic :

First of all, an important update : on the 15th of April 2019, the Cathedral Notre Dame suffered a major fire. Notre Dame was almost reduced to ashes.

This major burning caused a lot of trouble to the structure of the landmark, and the workers are still renovating it.

Notre Dame will be totally refurbished soon. Good News.

That’s all for the update about the actual monument!

Get Married in Notre Dame Paris

Now talking about the possibility to get married in Notre Dame Paris, as I mentioned earlier in the article, if you’re eloping in Paris, you don’t want to have a ceremony on the inside of the cathedral, as it is probably too much space for a small and intimate ceremony.

However, it is always possible to have your wedding ceremony in the surroundings of Notre Dame in Paris, just because the views are truly amazing.

The Notre Dame area is a very touristic area who traditionally welcomed famous artists, writers, poets, painters, and so on…

The feeling when you get to this area is unmatched.

You can feel the history, through the old architecture, and through the small streets in the Saint Michel area.

Why choose Notre Dame for your Wedding Ceremony?

I always recommend Notre Dame for intimate ceremonies.

It is also near the Seine river. The water flow provides a sense of relaxation that many couples adore.

Here’s what to expect when you get married at Notre Dame :
