English-speaking wedding planner in Paris
Hello, my name is Katerina Meyvial, I am a wedding planner in Paris. I plan destination weddings, elopements, and wedding weekends in Paris and its region for couples from all over the world.
My motivation? To make the planning of your destination wedding in France easy and stress-free!
Previously, I had an opportunity to work with couples from the USA, UK, Australia, China, Ukraine, and I am delighted to make my clients’ lives easier by making wedding planning more comprehensive and less stressful, even if they can’t come to Paris before their wedding!
My values
ADVISE. It is important for me to advise you and to make sure you are making informed decisions about your wedding planning in Paris.
- What venue is the best fit for me?
- How to stay within the budget and invest wisely?
- What vendor shall I choose among the variety of beautiful Instagram profiles?
- How to make my party AMAZING?
- What is essential and what is superficial?
I will guide you through the planning process by analysing all pros and cons so that you are excited and relaxed about your wedding day.
CULTURE. I love when we share the same vision with my couples, but I am also excited when they make me discover new horizons, be it new culture, cuisine, or music!
AESTHETICS. Good taste is a muscle, and I keep training mine every day. I will help you to choose the best décor for your wedding day, and to highlight the ambiance with stunning florals that convey a message and create a particular mood. There is no wedding faux pas possible with my team of vendors!
ENVIRONMENT. I encourage the use of seasonal and local food and flowers and working with environmentally responsible suppliers. Catering companies I love working with aim to reduce their waste, the champagne producer I recommend doesn’t use pesticides on his fields, florists I team up with mostly use flowers grown locally, in the Parisian area. And I also encourage you to offset the CO2 emissions of your flight (it only costs around 70€ for a return trip, and you can do it here)
