This family-owned champagne House was founded in 1818 by Nicolas Francois Billecart and Elisabeth Salmon. Since then, seven generations of the Billecart family have succeeded in the village of Mareuil-sur-Ay, near Epernay.

The production secrets and vinification method of this cuvee go back to the 19th century which allows us to be the reference in everyone’s mind.

The finesse of the Brut Rose is the marriage of a harmonious blending of white wine from the 3 Champenois grape varieties with the addition of red wine (Pinot Noir).

Served at the most prestigious restaurants and enjoyed at the heart of family celebrations, this Brut Rose cuvee will underline with elegance life’s most beautiful moments. www.billecart-salmon.co.uk

Receive a FREE gift with THE BRIDE & GROOM INCENTIVE from The Bride and Groom Incentive is our wedding favour to you. As your party size gets bigger, we’ll give you the following gifts to make your wedding abroad even more memorable. What’s more, to give you a head start, we’ll consider you and your other half as the first members of your party, so you only need to invite 6 other guests to hit the silver.

SILVER

8 -10 guests including the bride and groom.

• Champagne and chocolates • Wedding dress travel box

RUBY

16-24 guests Including the bride and groom • Champagne & chocolates • Wedding dress travel box • VIP airport lounge • Afternoon tea for two in the UK

PEARL

JUST SO YOU KNOW… • The wedding dress travel box is yours to personalize. Just please inform your Wedding Planner which colour ribbon you would prefer. The box will be sent directly from the supplier, so there needs to be someone available to receive the delivery at the given address.

• The full sized bottle of Champagne is there for you both to enjoy on the outbound journey of your Thomson Airways flight. You are only eligible to receive this gift if you are over the age of 18 and travelling on a Thomson Airways flight. The Champagne comes with a box of gorgeous Thornton’s chocolates.

• The VIP airport lounge access is on the outward part of your journey, and will be booked by your Wedding Planner at your chosen departure airport. Relax in the stress-free environment of one of these exclusive lounges, knowing you are avoiding the crowds and starting your wedding break as you mean to go on.

• You can enjoy your afternoon tea for 2 and UK spa day for 2 up to 9 months after you’ve received these gifts. They are available at different locations throughout the UK, and should be booked in advance to secure your chosen date. The pack with all the details will be sent out by your Wedding Planner. The spa break comes with a free treatment each to guarantee you feel pampered and relaxed.

• The airport hotel stay will ensure you both start your wedding experience relaxed and feeling like VIPs. We have tried to ensure the hotels are as close to the airport as possible, with most on site. Your Wedding Planner will arrange this for you, so all you have to do is check in and relax. Any little extras you treat yourself to while you are there will need to be paid for before you leave.

• Please call us with the final number of guests at least 6 to 8 weeks before you leave for your special day. This is to ensure we get all your treats and gifts out to you in time, so you can relax knowing everything has been taken care of.
