What we Love

We love Domaine de Lamanon for its seamless fusion of French elegance with the attentiveness of American service. The estate’s motto, E Pluribus Unum – "One from Many," captures its spirit of unity, where every event becomes a cherished and timeless experience for all.

About the Venue

Domaine de Lamanon is a family-run estate that reflects the owners' deep love for Provence and their experiences abroad. After eight years in New York, they returned to France with a passion for bringing American-style service—attentive, generous, and welcoming—to their native roots. This exquisite venue, a 15th-century Provencal Mas, was carefully restored using French heritage craftsmen to preserve its unique character and history. Set amidst five hectares of tranquil gardens, the estate offers a home-like ambiance where guests can gather to create shared moments. The furniture within the estate is the result of over 50 years of multigenerational collection, adding to its distinct charm. With a focus on conviviality, guests can enjoy the best of Provencal hospitality, including a curated multi-regional wine selection exclusive to the domaine. Domaine de Lamanon is a place where people come together, making it an ideal setting for weddings and special events.
