Full Wedding Planning in the South of France

Full planning covers every aspect of your wedding : from the very first decision to the final coordination on the day. Nothing is left for you to manage alone.

• Venue research, site visits, and contract negotiation

• Full vendor curation: caterer, photographer, videographer, florist, DJ, musicians, hair & makeup, transportation

• Budget management and payment tracking throughout

• Creative direction: moodboard, floral brief, table design, lighting and furniture rental

• Detailed run-of-day for all events (welcome dinner, ceremony, reception, brunch)

• Guest list management and room allocation for on-site accommodation

• Translation of vendor contracts and brochures when needed

• Coordination of childcare and private transport (taxis, coaches) if required

• Venue walkthrough in the weeks before the wedding

• Weather contingency planning

• On-site presence from the evening before through to the morning after

Planning follows a structured five-phase process : designed so that the right decisions happen in the right order, and nothing is left to chance.

• Phase 1 - The foundations:Venue, caterer, photographer. These three decisions shape everything that follows, we start here.

• Phase 2 - Creative direction:Visual mood, florals, table design, furniture and lighting rental, hair & makeup. Every creative vendor is briefed consistently.

• Phase 3 - Atmosphere & entertainment:DJ, live musicians, ceremony sound. Every transition, ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, is considered.

• Phase 4 - Guest experience:Seating plans, transport, childcare, room allocation, welcome logistics. The details your guests will feel.

• Phase 5 - Final coordination: Full run-of-day, vendor briefings, weather contingency. We arrive the evening before and stay until the morning after.

Most planners work within a budget without questioning how it's distributed. We do something different: from day one, we build the budget allocation around your actual priorities.

If music is everything to you, we invest there. If you dream of overflowing florals, we protect that budget. If a specific venue is non-negotiable, we build around it. The goal is a wedding where every element feels considered, not one with one spectacular moment surrounded by compromises.

Being fully bilingual in French and English is also a genuine differentiator. Vendor negotiations, contract reading, cultural nuances, handled in the right language, with the right context. For international couples, this removes one of the biggest sources of planning stress.

No vendors are ever imposed. Our role is to curate the best options for your style, your vision, and your budget — not to fill slots with a fixed list of partners.

We build recommendations from a deep network of trusted professionals across the South of France: photographers, florists, caterers, musicians, and venue teams we know personally and whose work we believe in. If you've already found someone you love, a photographer you've been following for years or a florist a friend used, we work with them too.

Absolutely, and this is the entire point. The planning months are only worth it if the day itself is flawless.

We arrive the evening before the wedding to verify the setup and run the final walkthrough. On the day, we are the single point of contact for every vendor: welcoming each one on arrival, managing deliveries and installations, ensuring the timeline runs precisely, and handling anything unexpected, completely out of your sight.

If the weekend includes a welcome dinner the evening before and a brunch the morning after, we are present for those too. We leave when the last guest does.

Fees for full planning are tailored to each project, there is no fixed package price. They are calculated based on several factors:

• The region where the wedding takes place

• The number of guests and the scale of the event

• Whether the wedding is a single day or a multi-event weekend (welcome dinner, ceremony, brunch)

• The complexity of the project — a multicultural wedding, a multi-day celebration, or a venue requiring extensive logistics will involve more work

We discuss fees transparently from the very first conversation. There are no hidden costs. To receive a personalised proposal, get in touch and tell us about your project.
