The database contains 3,749 research records. These reports use 300 named listings that meet the existing page evidence rules. They are a selected collection, not a representative census of French wedding venues. Venues without clear identity or sufficient supporting facts are excluded from comparisons.
The price audit reviewed 409 non-empty imported or enriched price fields. It withheld 105 unsupported numeric extractions from the public build. Historical years, postcodes and other numbers must not become prices. The original records remain in the research archive.
Three dates, three meanings
Venue collection dates describe when a listing was read. Statistical reference periods describe the year or climate period measured. This report’s publication date describes when the analysis was assembled. Republishing a number does not refresh the original offer.
What we cannot conclude
- No market-wide average wedding spend, paid-price trend or price inflation.
- No causal premium for a pool, region, style or number of bedrooms.
- No live wedding availability, route timetable or hotel vacancy.
- No day-specific weather probability from monthly climate.
More data worth adding
The official school holiday calendar can support date planning once the relevant school zones are joined. A comparable survey of current, itemised venue quotations would be needed for reliable like-for-like price trends. These are identified opportunities, not data already included.
Sources, dates & method
All calculations are reproducible from dated local projections. Missing values are excluded from numeric summaries and their denominators are stated. Single venue IDs are counted once within each report; categories can overlap.
Venue facts recorded 28 September 2026, with identified official-source corrections dated 4 October. Figures describe this collection, not the whole French market. These are advertised starting figures with different inclusions and hire lengths. They are not paid prices, current quotations, per-person rates or complete wedding budgets. Original listing names and observation dates are retained on the linked venue pages. Source URLs remain in the private evidence archive.
