Your questions

Moving forward together,
with clarity.

Your questions, answered

Based in Paris, I plan weddings and events in France, across Europe and internationally.

Choosing your support, preparing for a first conversation and understanding the process: answers for every kind of event.

01Which wedding package is right for us?

Wedding day support provides a trusted presence through the drinks reception. Wedding day coordination lets you hand over the running of the day after planning it yourselves. Full wedding planning supports you from the preparation stage. We’ll talk through your project to identify the right package.

02When should we get in touch?

As soon as you know your date or have an outline of your project. Together, we check availability and the preparation time needed for your chosen package.

03Can we keep the suppliers we have already booked?

Yes. We review your bookings and what still needs to be organised. The support is defined around the suppliers you have already engaged.

04How do you handle unexpected issues on the day?

Within my agreed role and hours on site, I bring the information together and coordinate solutions with your suppliers. The aim is to minimise interruptions so you can enjoy your day.

05Do you support weddings abroad?

Yes, I am based in Paris and work in France, across Europe and internationally, including destination weddings. We discuss the location, travel, on-site requirements and support arrangements before I prepare a proposal.

01What private events can you help with?

Birthdays, baby showers, family gatherings and other private celebrations. The format, guests’ ages, venue and atmosphere you have in mind help us shape the right support.

02Can you help us organise a surprise?

Yes, we can explore a surprise celebration. We agree who needs to be involved, how to communicate and which stages to coordinate to keep the surprise intact.

03Do we need to have booked a venue already?

No. You can get in touch with an idea, a date or simply a wish to celebrate. Venue sourcing can be included if we agree to it in the proposal.

04Can you provide coordination only?

Yes, support can focus on preparing the running order and coordinating the day. We agree which suppliers are involved, the hours and the responsibilities entrusted to me.

05How are the budget and fees determined?

We distinguish between your overall event budget and my planning fees. The proposal depends on the format, location, guest numbers and agreed services; wedding packages are not automatically applied to private events.

01Who is your business event support for?

Startups, SMEs and large organisations, as well as brands, communications and PR agencies, institutions and professional organisations. The support takes account of your internal resources, budget and objectives.

02What business events can you help with?

Press lunches and trips, symposia, conferences, trade exhibitions, public fairs, institutional gatherings, conventions, company retreats and evening events. For exhibitions and fairs, my role focuses on your company’s participation and stand.

03How do you support press events and conferences?

For a press lunch, I coordinate the venue, catering, programme and welcome with your PR team. For a press trip, support can also include transport, accommodation and visits. For a symposium or conference, we prepare the running order, speakers, registrations and technical requirements. The agreed services are set out in your proposal.

04Can you manage the stand and technical orders?

Yes. Depending on our agreed scope, I coordinate the stand builder, layout and branding, liaison with the organiser, technical orders and logistics. Electricity, connectivity, lighting, audiovisual equipment, furniture and access are planned around your stand’s needs.

05Can you prepare several events at the same time?

Yes, managing several events in parallel is part of my experience in event communications. We create an overall schedule, individual project tracking and clear priorities. Resources and on-site support are planned around each event’s dates and needs.

06Which sectors and audiences have you worked with?

My experience spans several sectors. In healthcare, at Medadom, I organised participation in PharmagoraPlus and the company’s first appearance at the Foire de Paris in 2023. In energy, at GRTgaz, now NaTran, I organised participation in the Salon de l’AMIF 2019 for elected representatives, local authorities and institutional partners. These projects, delivered as part of my in-house roles, taught me to adapt planning and communications to each sector’s challenges and each audience’s expectations.

07Can you work with our existing teams and suppliers?

Yes. I work within your organisation alongside your communications, PR, marketing, HR or management teams. We clarify roles, approval processes and regular check-ins. You can keep the suppliers you have already engaged.

08How do we get started and agree the budget?

Send me your objectives, proposed format, dates, expected audience and an indicative budget if you have one. We define either full planning or a focused assignment. The proposal separates my fees from the event budget and sets out the agreed services.

It starts with a conversation
