wedding videographer Mas d’Entremont
Getting married at Mas d’Entremont in Aix-en-Provence
Mas d’Entremont, a Provençal estate on the edge of Aix
A wedding venue in Célony, surrounded by a park, lime trees, a patio and a glass-covered terrace
Located in Célony, in the Pays d’Aix, just a few minutes from the centre of Aix-en-Provence, Mas d’Entremont has that very special charm of Provençal homes that do not try too hard. I see it as a perfect setting for an elegant, countryside-inspired and intimate wedding, while still being able to host a larger reception, up to around 300 guests depending on the layout. The estate is set around a 3-hectare wooded park, with lime trees, fountains, a landscaped pond, a swimming pool, a pétanque court, a tennis court, private parking, bedrooms and suites, as well as several event spaces: a paved outdoor terrace, a 120 m² covered terrace, a 100 m² patio, indoor lounges and a garden for an outdoor ceremony. Architecturally, I really like this mix of natural stone, ivy-covered walls, old beams, large glass doors and almost unexpected details, like the tree growing through the covered terrace. For a wedding videographer at Mas d’Entremont, it is a very living setting: Provence is truly present here, in the shadows, the cicadas, the pale walls, the scents of summer and that softness of Aix that immediately gives the images a warm feeling.
Why a wedding at Mas d’Entremont works so beautifully on film
What I find powerful at Mas d’Entremont is the variety of settings without ever needing to leave the estate. For a wedding film, it makes it possible to tell the story of a full day with natural rhythm: preparations in the rooms, a first look in the park, an outdoor ceremony in the garden, cocktail hour near the terrace or patio, dinner under the lime trees, then the evening in a more sheltered space. The paved outdoor terrace, with its green walls and garlands, becomes especially beautiful at dusk, when the light slips through the trees and softens every face. The covered terrace is precious if the mistral rises or the weather shifts, because the large glass doors keep a strong connection with the park and the pond. For a wedding videographer at Mas d’Entremont, the most interesting moment often happens in the late afternoon: the pale stone reflects a soft light, the shadows of the lime trees avoid harsh contrasts, and guests naturally stay close to one another. The main point to watch, in my opinion, is the flow of movement: it is better to plan a smooth timeline between ceremony, cocktail and dinner so the natural energy of the place is never broken.
My discreet and cinematic approach at Mas d’Entremont
My way of filming a wedding at Mas d’Entremont begins with letting the place breathe. I do not try to turn a wedding day into a rigid shoot; I prefer to observe, anticipate, then place myself where emotion naturally happens. On this estate, there is so much texture to film: leaves moving above the terrace, reflections on the pond, footsteps on the stone, guests gathering near the pétanque court, a hand resting on a railing, a silence just before the vows. My approach remains discreet, but carefully prepared. Before the wedding, I study the spaces, the light at different times of day, the noisier areas and the places where guests will truly spend time. Then I build a wedding film with storytelling, not just a series of beautiful images. Provence inspires me for that, because it is not only told through landscapes: it is told through a feeling, a rhythm and human warmth. At Mas d’Entremont, I would want to keep the feeling of a suspended weekend, elegant yet simple, with images that stay close to people and a narrative that truly respects your story.
Wedding videographer in Provence, near Aix-en-Provence
I am Meryll, founder of GordonWeddingFilms, and I have worked as a wedding videographer in Provence since 2014. Living and filming regularly in the South of France changes many things: I know the light, the real distances between Aix, Marseille, the Luberon and the Côte d’Azur, the heat-related constraints in summer, the days when the mistral picks up, but also that very Provençal way of making outdoor moments last. For a wedding videographer at Mas d’Entremont, this local knowledge is a real advantage. I can approach the venue with a genuine understanding of the area, not as someone discovering the region through a postcard. My work is shaped by storytelling, music, rhythm and editing, because I edit every film myself to keep a consistent signature. I often work with French and international couples looking for an elegant, timeless, natural film, without heavy staging. At Mas d’Entremont, I can imagine a story deeply rooted in Aix-en-Provence: the cicadas, meals under the trees, speeches beside the park and that feeling of a family home that makes memories even stronger.
Tips for planning your wedding at Mas d’Entremont
Light, outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and a full wedding weekend in Aix
To plan a wedding at Mas d’Entremont, I would suggest thinking of the estate as a real multi-part experience, not just a reception venue. Couples often talk about a full weekend, with the pool, pétanque, brunch and time spent with close friends and family; that is exactly what gives a film more depth. For the outdoor ceremony, the garden works very well, but shaded areas or parasols should be planned in summer, especially for older guests and suppliers. In July and August, I would favour a ceremony later in the afternoon, when the light becomes less vertical and the outdoor terrace begins to take on that warm Provençal glow. For cocktail hour, the spaces near the patio, the main terrace or the garden help keep guests in an open setting without spreading them too far apart. Dinner under the lime trees is beautiful, but the acoustics for speeches should be anticipated: a clean microphone and well-placed sound system make a huge difference. Finally, think about your plan B: the covered terrace, with its glass doors and indoor tree, can save an uncertain forecast while still keeping a strong visual identity. Very often, this kind of preparation is what makes the film feel more fluid.

Frequently asked questions
If I have already filmed this venue, I come with a very concrete understanding of the spaces, the light and how the day can unfold. And if I have not filmed it yet at the time of your enquiry, that is absolutely not a problem. In fact, a new venue often brings a more attentive, curious and less automatic eye. I always prepare the shoot in advance so I can film with precision, while keeping a fresh perspective.
Spring and early autumn are very comfortable in Aix-en-Provence: the light is soft, temperatures remain pleasant, and guests can truly enjoy the park. Summer also works beautifully, especially for a Provençal wedding with a pool, brunch and outdoor dinner, but the schedule needs to be planned carefully. In July and August, a ceremony too early in the day can be difficult because of the heat and the high sun.
Yes, it is even one of the real strengths of the venue.

Mas d’Entremont is a wonderful venue for a destination wedding because it remains very close to Aix-en-Provence while offering the feeling of a peaceful private estate.

Mas d’Entremont is located in Célony, just a few minutes from the centre of Aix-en-Provence. From Marseille Provence Airport, you should usually allow around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. From Nice, the journey is much longer, usually around two hours or more depending on the season. For guests, Aix is therefore the simplest base for accommodation, transport and enjoying the weekend.
Yes, I travel throughout Provence, the Côte d’Azur and further afield when the project calls for it. Being based in the region helps me anticipate travel times, light, seasonal constraints and the rhythm of weddings in the South of France. Whether your wedding takes place at Mas d’Entremont, in the Luberon, near Cassis, in Saint-Rémy or on the Côte d’Azur, I keep the same narrative and cinematic approach.
Being recognised as an international wedding videographer means a lot to me, but I mostly see it as a responsibility: to keep creating films that are sincere, elegant and deeply personal. These awards celebrate a way of working built on storytelling, editing, listening and a strong visual eye, shaped through weddings filmed in Provence, on the Côte d’Azur and abroad. I bring the same level of care to every couple: telling a true story with discretion, beauty and emotion.
