Get in touch

We were very lucky to be accompanied by Mélanie and her team for the organization of our wedding this summer. The feeling passed very quickly between us, Mélanie is very available, always smiling and positive. The organization was not always easy due to an unclear family context, however, Mélanie was an unconditional support at this key period as D-Day approached. If you are looking for the Marie Poppins of the WPs, who literally bend over backwards to sew the wedding dress that didn't last, coordinate beautifully while making sure everything runs smoothly, taking care of both presenters and guests: so don't hesitate, you are knocking on the right door! A big thank you to Mélanie and her team for your unfailing involvement, your kindness and your good humor.

Mélanie & Dimitri

Over dinner, I floated the idea of getting married in Las Vegas. It was without counting on the professionalism of Mélanie who took the words spoken at face value. It was perfect. A wedding for two, intimate, unique... Despite the stress of a wedding 8000 km away, she managed everything with a master's hand. She was able to find the service providers that corresponded to what we wanted. From the dressing table, to the dress, the beautiful chapel and the restaurant for our dinner. As a bonus, she concocted an unforgettable honeymoon in the American West. Always with a lot of listening and kindness. Do not hesitate ! She's what you need! A thousand thanks will not be enough. Thanks to you our dream has come true, and well beyond...

Alicia

I had the chance to work with Mélanie for my wedding. In one month we took up the challenge of closing everything. Professional, gentle, kind and attentive, she was able to meet all my needs, advise me when I needed it, listen to me and reassure me. I can never thank her enough for all she has done. My marriage lived up to my expectations and I have very fond memories of it forever. Mélanie accompanied us in the best way. Organized, reassuring, agile, she has all the qualities expected of a wedding planner. The little extra is that she is extremely nice. Many thanks.

Khadija & Anthony

Mélanie was able to meet all our expectations and more. She understood our expectations very well and very quickly found our service providers (contact in April for wedding in July). In a short time she organized everything so that our wedding looked like what we hoped for, in a very difficult sanitary context. Listening, responsiveness, anticipation, taking initiatives, investment, agility, benevolence, audacity, all these qualities and more, which make Mélanie a great professional. We recommend her with our eyes closed and will call on her again for other events. Thank you Melanie 🙏🏼

Peggy

Mélanie took charge of the organization of our wedding last July. With this Covid period, we had to change our plans and when we met Mélanie we were 3 or 4 months away from our wedding. She took everything in hand and relieved us of a considerable weight. She quickly understood our expectations, was proactive. She offered us services that thrilled us. We were very quickly confident. Professional, attentive, organized, intuitive, resourceful, caring, Mélanie is really the person we needed to organize our wedding. Without her we would not have lived this day so relaxed. We weren't stressed out because we knew everything was under control. Thank you Melanie for everything.

Stéphane

Bridesmaid at the wedding of my best friend who called on Mélanie to organize her wedding. I cannot find the words to thank her for her professionalism, her advice, her kindness and her benevolence. One thing is certain is that I hope to use her services soon and recommend her to you without any hesitation, quite the contrary. Again many thanks.

How do I start ?

Starting the planning process may seem overwhelming, but I'm here to guide you every step of the way. First thing first, hire me as your Wedding Planner.
We'll begin with a consultation to discuss your vision, preferences, and budget. From there, I'll assist you in selecting venues, curating vendor recommendations, and managing logistics to create your dream wedding in Paris.
How far in advance should I start planning my wedding ?

It is recommended to start planning your destination wedding at least 12 to 18 months in advance. This allows ample time for venue bookings, vendor selections, and coordination of travel arrangements for you and your guests. However, if you have a shorter timeframe, let's do this! I can still assist you in creating a beautiful and memorable wedding within your desired timeline.
Why Paris is the perfect location ?

Are you really wondering ? Come on!
Paris is renowned for its romantic ambiance, iconic landmarks, and rich cultural heritage. Imagine exchanging vows with the Eiffel Tower as your witness or celebrating your love in a historic Château. Paris provides endless possibilities to create a magical and unique wedding celebration.

Absolutely! We understand the importance of ensuring a seamless experience for you and your guests. Our team will assist in recommending accommodations, organizing transportation, airport transfert, and providing helpful information to make the travel and stay in Paris enjoyable for everyone.
Will my wedding in France be recognized ?

It's essential to note that destination weddings in France may not be legally recognized unless certain residency requirements are met. According to French law, couples must reside in France for at least 40 consecutive days and complete various administrative procedures to have their wedding legally recognized.
However, this legal aspect should not deter you from having the wedding of your dreams in Paris. Many couples choose to have a symbolic ceremony or a non-legally binding celebration in France while completing the legal formalities in their home country. This allows them to enjoy the beauty and romance of a Parisian wedding without the constraints of residency requirements.
