"From the word go, you understood the vibe we wanted. You made finding suppliers easy by giving us a few options to choose from rather than overwhelming us."
"We can't even begin to explain how grateful we are that you and your team were part of our big day. You were the calm to (what turned out to be) one hell of a storm.
With so many near misses thanks to COVID, we thought we'd have to give up on our dream destination wedding. But that was never an option for you! You stayed calm and seamlessly coordinated all our suppliers to move dates—twice!

So let's get started!
Julia and her team helped plan the wedding of our dreams! Bringing in friends and family from across the world, we knew we needed someone special to help coordinate it and give us the freedom to live in the moment and make precious memories
I’m always a planner, obsessing over every tiny detail, and I can’t tell you how amazing it was not to stress or worry on my wedding day! I knew Julia and the team had everything covered. Thanks for being such an important part of our unforgettable wedding!!!
"I can’t tell you how amazing it was not to stress or worry on my wedding day!"
Thank you for putting together such a wonderful day, and so calmly and reassuringly dealing with all the variables – including rain! My brother said he has never been to a wedding that felt so relaxed and easy as ours, and that's down to your team getting everything so wonderfully sorted. It really allowed us to relax.
We had so many people comment on how wonderful and easy you all are to talk to. Thank you for all being so personable with all the guests You all really brought an aura of calm to what could be a very stressful environment.
Oh and can I mention, great eye for design!! We felt very comfortable leaving the aesthetic on the day decisions with you. You smashed it!
"Your team got everything so wonderfully sorted, allowing us to feel so relaxed!"
Our wedding weekend was perfect and Julia and her team played a big role in that, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish! We even had other suppliers share positive feedback with us on the team's ability to keep everyone on track with timings & details.
From a personal perspective, we found Julia and the team to be caring, patient & always incredibly friendly! Thanks a million!
"Our wedding weekend was perfect from start to finish!"
Because you shouldn’t have to do it all alone.
You deserve a beautiful, unforgettable celebration—without the overwhelm. Let’s make it happen, together!
"During the week prior to our wedding, we had the potential for a disaster, as many of our guest’s flights were cancelled at exceptionally short notice. We were feeling very anxious. Julia and the team answered our texts/calls at all hours of the day, offering further reassurance and helping us alter our plans accordingly. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without them.

"We recently got married in France, with Julia and team for the big day. Unfortunately, COVID got the better of our first date, and we found the situation—along with the stress of moving everything—extremely daunting. Thankfully, the team was on hand to help, taking away a lot of this stress (particularly given our limited French!!) and were constantly reassuring.

Led by Julia, a bilingual event planner with over 15 years’ experience managing international events in London and Sydney—and 8+ years planning beautiful weddings across South West France—and her team of planners, coordinators and creatives, know exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to making your wedding day truly unforgettable.
After years working in the luxury wedding space, Julia noted that not every couple has the budget for a full planning service—and many brides want to be hands-on and fully involved in the process. It’s an exciting journey, but planning from abroad can feel overwhelming when you're on your own.
That’s why we created our sister company, Wedding Planning Atelier France—designed for destination brides who want to take the lead in planning their wedding, but still need expert support and guidance along the way.
Let’s make your planning journey easier, so you can enjoy the process as much as the big day itself.
No! While both services offer expert guidance and support, our budget wedding planning service is tailored to couples who want to take a hands-on approach to planning. You'll receive the tools, templates, and advice you need to handle much of the process yourself, with ongoing support calls. A full planning service, on the other hand, involves a complete hands-off experience, where we manage every detail from start to finish.
For our budget service, you’ll receive 3 x scheduled calls and guidance via an email package and the templates. While we're not on-call 24/7, we’re here to provide the support you need on these scheduled calls and a package of email support.
No, we don’t offer standalone On-the-Day Coordination. Ensuring your wedding runs flawlessly is our top priority, and we believe that seamless execution starts long before the wedding day. That’s why we provide ongoing planning support leading up to your celebration.
Additionally, we only work with our trusted setup team, as we are confident in their ability to deliver to our high standards. Your On-the-Day Coordinator will be responsible for the faultless execution of your wedding, and by working with a team we know and trust, we can ensure every detail is handled to perfection.
For our budget service, you’ll be much more involved in the planning process, using the templates and resources we provide to organize details like your timeline, budget, vendor coordination, design and table plans. This service is for couples who have the time and want to be actively involved in the planning process and are comfortable doing so.
Our Atelier planning service is designed for couples who want to keep costs down but still have a beautiful, well-executed wedding. We can work with a variety of budgets, but our goal is to make the most of every euro. Your budget will depend on many aspects and guests numbers make a big different for budgets. We ALWAYS schedule a discovery call at which point we can dive into the detail to be able to recommend not only our basic planning package but also any additional services you might want, The Atelier service is great value but is not a cut and paste service, your wedding is unique.
Yes! For the Atelier service, we provide you with a list of trusted vendors who fit within your budget and offer templates to help you approach them. For our full planning service, we personally handle all vendor recommendations, negotiations, and bookings to ensure everything is perfect.
You get access to a selection of templates, guides, and advice that allow you to take control of the planning after which you will be responsible for the full management.
We believe that every wedding, no matter the budget, should be unique. With the budget service, we give you the tools to customize your wedding within your financial limits, and we’ll help you prioritize what’s most important.
