EN : Our full-service planning starts at €15,000, not including vendor or event-related costs.

What are your minimum fees for a luxury wedding?

FR : Our full-service planning starts at €18,000, excluding living and transportation expenses for our teams. This corresponds to the intellectual work of the agency and is in addition to the wedding budget and the services of various vendors.

If you are organizing one or more events in addition to the wedding day, we will charge additional fees.

We have some other less expensive packages where we only take care of certain stages of the event.

Does hiring a wedding planner guarantee negotiated prices?

No, that is not the case. Of course, we commit to ensuring that the prices of the services engaged are in line with market reality and that you do not overpay for a service, but we cannot guarantee you negotiated rates.

The offer is very broad and our job is not to find the best rate but to find the best service for a fair price. A well-paid vendor is a motivated vendor who will deliver a beautiful service for a satisfied client.

However, due to our presence in the market since 2005, our vendors are happy to work with us and we can guarantee our clients some favors that will make a difference. For example, a photographer who officially charges for 10 hours of work will not look at their watch after 10:01 and will be happy to stay if there are still beautiful images to capture.

3b. Welcome event, Brunch: what do you recommend?

Without hesitation, if you have to choose, we recommend prioritizing a welcome dinner rather than a brunch because for us it is the ideal appetizer. The welcome event requires each guest to arrive the day before, it allows people to meet and the couple to step into their festivities and relieve stress. On the wedding day, the couple is often more relaxed and better prepared for their big day. During brunches, guests and families often struggle to wake up, and we note that most would prefer to stay in bed a little longer!
