Partial Wedding Planning in the South of France

Partial planning is right for you if you've already made significant progress, but want expert guidance to take it the rest of the way. Typically, this means:

• Your venue and date are confirmed

• You have 2–4 key vendors already booked (photographer, caterer, florist)

• You've been planning independently but feel the remaining details are getting complex

• You want someone to review what's been done, coordinate with existing vendors, and fill what's missing

• You want professional presence and full management on the wedding day itself

If you haven't yet found your venue or key vendors, our full planning service will be a better fit.

Partial planning begins with a full audit of everything you've planned so far. We review every contract, assess your timeline, map what's in place and what's missing, then take over from there.

• Complete review of all existing vendor contracts

• Timeline assessment : identifying gaps, conflicts, or elements needing renegotiation

• Sourcing and booking any remaining vendors needed

• Taking over all vendor communication and coordination

• Budget review and rebalancing if needed

• Creative refinement: ensuring visual elements are consistent and cohesive

• Detailed run-of-day for all events

• Venue walkthrough before the wedding

• Weather contingency planning

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

Full planning starts from the very beginning: before you have a venue, a date, or any vendors. We build everything from scratch, in the right order, with the right budget allocation from day one.

Partial planning starts mid-journey. You've already made decisions: some excellent, some that may need adjusting. We come in, understand what's been done, and take it forward with the same care and precision as if we'd been there from the start.

In practice, partial planning can sometimes require as much work as starting from scratch because inheriting decisions means understanding them fully, and occasionally renegotiating them. We're transparent about this from the first conversation.

Absolutely. Working with vendors you've already chosen is exactly what partial planning is designed for. We review their contracts, integrate them into the coordination plan, and manage all communication with them from the moment we come on board.

Where additional vendors are still needed, we recommend professionals from our network whose style and quality match what's already in place, ensuring the whole team feels cohesive. No vendor is ever imposed.

Yes, always. On-site presence is included in every service we offer. The months of preparation only make sense if the day itself is flawlessly executed.

We arrive the evening before to verify setup and run the final walkthrough. On the day, we manage every vendor, every timeline, every delivery completely out of your sight. You show up and celebrate

Fees are tailored to each project and depend on the actual work involved, which varies significantly depending on how far you are in the planning process. Key factors include:

• How many vendors are already confirmed, and whether any contracts need reviewing or renegotiating

• The number of events to coordinate (ceremony only, or a full weekend)

• The number of guests and overall scale of the celebration

• The region and any specific logistical requirements

We discuss everything transparently from the first conversation. Get in touch with details of your project and Guillaume will come back to you with a personalised proposal.
