Why do you need a wedding planner?
For so many reasons!
The first is to allow you to think only about yourself and your guests.
Preparing for a wedding is an incredible human adventure that most people undertake with the welcome help of family and friends.
The lack of time for couples is undoubtedly the most frequently cited argument.
You may run out of ideas and want to enjoy the day without worrying.
As future brides and grooms, the idea of facing up to such an important event can become a source of stress, and choosing a wedding planner relieves you of all the research involved in organising your wedding.
Is it necessary for a small wedding?
The wedding planner can adapt her services to all sizes of event.
Who am I?
From fashion to event organisation.
Coming from a career in the fashion industry and journalism, I was able to explore my creativity in the world of high-end accessories.
Working for a number of luxury brands such as Chopard jewellery, Deutz champagne and Maison Fabre leather goods has enabled me to develop a keen sense of high-quality service. Over time, I developed a desire to set up my own events agency, where each service provider selected is resolutely focused on exceptional craftsmanship.
How do you define your planning style?
Our approach is personalised and flexible.
We work closely with each couple to understand their preferences and create a unique event that reflects their personality.
How much does a wedding planner cost?
Generally between 10 and 15% of the total wedding budget.
Our agency fees are quoted in advance.
They are indexed to the hourly volume of support provided to our customers.
How do you manage budgets?
We work with you to establish a realistic budget and ensure that every expense is justified and aligned with your priorities.
What are the costs associated with your services?
Our rates vary according to the type of service chosen (full, partial or D-day).
We discuss costs during our initial consultation to ensure that our services are in line with your budget.
These questions cover the key aspects of wedding planning and help to reassure future brides and grooms about the process and the services on offer.
How do you go about selecting service providers?
Each service provider is selected taking into account the culture and way of life of our customers, as well as shared values: respect, curiosity, savoir vivre, rigour and attention to detail.
Can you help us choose suppliers?
Yes, we have a list of recommended suppliers with whom we have worked in the past.
We'll help you select the ones that best suit your needs and budget.
How long before the wedding should I contact the wedding planner?
Ideally, you should contact your wedding planner eighteen months to a year before your wedding.
This is a recommendation for booking your dream venue.
With your wedding fast approaching, you can contact us at short notice, which is also one of our hallmarks.
