Intimate Celebrations, Elopements & Proposals
For the moments that don't need a crowd to feel unforgettable.
Not every love story calls for a ballroom and two hundred guests. Some of the most beautiful celebrations I've been part of were also the most intimate — a dinner for twenty in a Provençal garden, two people exchanging vows on a clifftop above the sea, a proposal hidden inside a perfect evening that felt entirely accidental.
These moments deserve the same level of care, creativity, and attention as any full wedding. Just on a different scale — and often with an even greater sense of intention.
Intimate Celebrations
Think a long lunch under the olive trees, a sunset dinner on a private terrace, a weekend gathering that feels more like a house party than a wedding reception. Small in headcount, but rich in every other way.
I handle the venue, the vendors, the design, and the logistics — so the day feels effortless for you and genuinely special for everyone around the table.
Elopements
An elopement here isn't a compromise. It's a choice. A deliberate, deeply personal way of marking the beginning of your life together, in a place that takes your breath away.
Whether it's a private ceremony in a field of lavender in Provence, a cliffside exchange of vows above the Mediterranean, or a quiet morning in a centuries-old chapel — I'll find the setting, handle every detail, and make sure the day feels entirely yours.
Proposals
If you're planning to propose here — or want help creating a moment that feels completely unexpected and perfectly right — I can help you design it. The setting, the timing, the details that make it feel like it was always meant to happen exactly this way.

How it works
It starts with a conversation.
We meet to get to know each other — your story, your vision, the feeling you want your wedding to have. From there, I craft a personalized project proposal: a curated selection of venues, vendors, and ideas tailored to your style and dreams. You'll get a clear sense of what your celebration could look and feel like, long before anything is signed.
If the proposal resonates, we make it official. And the planning begins.
Discovery
This is where your wedding takes shape.
Finding the right venue comes first — whether it's a majestic château in Provence, a charming mas, or a seaside villa on the French Riviera.
Then comes the celebration: welcome dinners, sunset cocktails, day-after brunches, boat rides, vineyard visits. We design a full program that flows effortlessly and feels genuinely joyful — for you and for everyone who traveled to be there.
We then build your vendor team, develop your overall concept, and manage your budget with full transparency.
Planning & Design
During your wedding week, my team and I are fully on the ground.
Every vendor, every timeline, every transition — coordinated. We handle setup, logistics, and guest flow so that nothing pulls you away from the moments that matter. I lead as head planner, supported by my trusted team, ensuring your multi-day celebration runs seamlessly from the first welcome dinner to the final farewell.
Your only job that week is to be present. To celebrate. To enjoy every single moment.

Questions
& Answers
Do you only plan weddings in the South of France?
While my expertise is in the Côte d’Azur and Provence, though very occasionally I am open to taking projects elsewhere. This is where I know the venues, vendors, and local experiences best — it’s truly my playground.
Do you speak multiple languages?
I work in English daily and I’m a French native. Most of my couples come from the USA, so I guide them seamlessly through every step of planning in France.
How far in advance should we book your services?
We typically start planning 18 to 8 months before the wedding, but I’ve also managed last-minute weddings — it just requires more flexibility. The earlier we begin planning, the greater the availability of exclusive venues and distinctive experiences
How much would my wedding in France cost?
We recommend a minimum overall wedding budget of €120,000 for 80 guests to fully experience our full-service planning and achieve the level of design and quality we aim to deliver. This includes all vendor costs as well as our planning fee.
If your budget is below this, and depending on your expectations, we may not be the right fit — but we’re always happy to guide you toward other planners.
For more intimate celebrations, budgets can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Are you present on-site during the wedding week?
Yes, I lead the coordination of your wedding week alongside my trusted team. We manage vendors, timelines, logistics, and the flow of events so you can fully enjoy every moment.
Do you help with travel, accommodation, or activities?
Yes! I guide guests with logistics, recommendations, and local experiences to ensure everyone enjoys the full magic of the South of France.
Can you help us if we haven’t chosen a venue yet?
Absolutely! In fact, I recommend choosing your planner first — together we can find the perfect venue that aligns with your vision and the experience you want to create.
What types of weddings do you specialize in?
I specialize in multi-day celebrations, which is at the heart of my approach. Think welcome dinners, the main wedding day, brunches, but also boat trips, vineyard visits, or other local experiences. Creating these immersive, meaningful gatherings is what I love most.
