We are conscious that organizing a destination wedding is a complex undertaking for anyone who doesn’t have the time, the address book or the local codes. That’s why we offer you our know-how and expertise to help you free yourself from the mental burden of wedding preparations.

Full-Service Planning : How does it works?

Preparation
This involves defining the main theme of your wedding, choosing your Provence or French Riviera wedding venue, your Italian / Greece venue, and the service providers you will need. We will accompany you to the meetings with each of them, manage the contracts and budget. We provide you with all the documents you need to monitor the preparations, so that you have a vision as clear as possible of the work in progress.

Design
The visual identity of your wedding is the key feature that define your project. From the choice of colors, materials and lighting to the stationery, floral decorations and tableware, we work on every detail to create a coherent, personalized look. You can be sure that the professionals we work with will highlight your special day with elegance and refinement.

Culinary Experience
As a symbol of sharing and conviviality, the culinary experience you offer your guests will help to create a warm and festive atmosphere. So it won’t be only “choosing a caterer”, but creating a memorable atmosphere around a meal that you’ve defined, bringing guests together through the shared pleasure of food.

Entertainment
Musical entertainment, live bands, artistic performances, fireworks, surprise events, photobooths, culinary shows – we’ll spice up your wedding! These activities will add a playful dimension to the celebration, creating a special and joyful atmosphere.

Your guests
The well-being of your guests is essential to the success of your wedding. That’s why we want to give them the best possible welcome, providing them with airport shuttles and buses for the D-day, as well as a selection of accommodation that we manage and monitor.

What is the preparation process ?

The first step of your wedding preparation is scouting the venue as they the most beautiful are rented from one year to the next. For this work, either you can be on site and we make the tour together, or I can do it on my own if you are not available. Then we define the caterer, and the other vendors. For each one, I will propose several options, and organize a video call with each one, to discover each other, and make the choice which will suit you. Then, I verify and monitor the contracts before you sign them.

Do you cover all France regions ? What about Italy and Greece ?

I’m used to working in Provence, Greece and Italy (Tuscany, Amalfi coast, Como lake). But also in other regions, as my clients often ask for these ones. I adapt and can easily move on to organize your wedding where you want.

Can you organize weddings over 2 or 3 days ?

Of course ! Most of the weddings I organize takes place on 2 or 3 days or more. Of course, I can organize and be present to the rehearsal dinner and to the brunch. This is a full part of my job. The rehearsal diner can takes place in the wedding venue or in a restaurant, as the brunch, it’s up to you !

How long do you need to organize my wedding ?

Keep in mind that most of the venues are booked very early in the season, or even the year before. So the sooner the better. However, it depends on your adaptability. If you don’t mind about getting married on mid-week for example, or on early-late season, you will have more availabilities. Concerning the organization on my own, I’ve already organized 3 months wedding !

Do you apply travel and accommodations costs ?

Travel and accommodation costs will depend on the place you will get married. I live in the South of France and don’t apply fees around my office. If you choose Italy or Greece, the fees will be included in the budget I will propose. Yu won’t need to add them at the end of the preparation.
