Intimate, family size weddings are quite different to larger scale events and as such require a slightly different approach.
We have planned weddings for as little as 12 guests, we understand the group dynamics of an intimate affair and love to accompany couples planning a beautiful celebration for just a few of their closest and dearest persons in the world.
We will guide you and recommend the best options for your numbers, ensuring that every one and each of your guests is attended to and creating a very special experience for all.

We typically work with intimate wedding budgets from 70,000 Euros. Our intimate wedding planning fees start at 15,000 Euros

Our team will be on site from the day before your first event until the safe departure of your last guest on your last wedding event. We will be orchestrating all your vendors and making sure that everything is set up and happening as per plan. We want you to have nothing to do other than enjoy the presence of your families and friends.

ON THE DAY

06

We will ask a lot of questions throughout the planning process. And that is so that we can propose design and entertainment ideas that truly reflect your own style and that your guests will respond to. We will share with you our latest inspirations and findings to make your wedding as memorable for your guests as it will be for you!

MAKING IT YOURS ONLY

05

We will curate the best team of vendors for your wedding, always discussing with you first your vision and wishes, and proposing the talents we feel are the best match for your event. We take care of all the admin, making the process easy and enjoyable for you. There is no limit in the number of calls, meetings or hours we dedicate to your wedding.

ACTIVE PLANNING

04

Once your venue is confirmed, the active planning starts. We will set up our first active planning meeting to discuss the first few vendors to source and share our styling ideas. We will also give you access to your bespoke client / planner shared folder, full with useful tips and information for the best possible start of your planning journey.


GETTING STARTED!

03

Upon confirmation that we will be your wedding planners we will conduct a bespoke venue search. We will short list the venues we feel are the best suited to you and contact them to confirm availability and rates for your wedding year. We will then put together a venues proposal that is unique and tailored to you.

SOURCING THE PERFECT VENUE

02

Before taking any new project on board we like to set up a meeting with the future bride and groom to discuss their needs, wishes and expectations. This allows us to confirm that we can deliver what you are after. We also take this opportunity to answer any question you may have about what we do, how we work and the planning process.

GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

01

Starting to plan a wedding in France can be overwhelming at first. Let us guide you through it all.
Throughout the planning process, we will share our advice and tailored recommendations, based on years of experience, and always considering your own style, crowd and preferences.

Our guidance for your wedding

process

You would need to prove at least 40 consecutive days of residency in France to qualify for a legally binding wedding in France. Those take place at the city hall, and you would need a proof of legal marriage in order to get married in Church.
Most of our couples get legally married in their country and have a symbolic or religious service in France.

Can we get legally married in France ?

The earlier the better, but we usually recommend between 15 and 9 months prior. In some highly thought after areas venues can be all booked up as early as 12 months in advance. That being said we have planned weddings in as little as 4 months, if you are flexible on dates we are always able to find a few really good options available out there!

How long before the wedding date should we book ? 

We have planned weddings for as little as 13 guests and for as many as 200 guests. So there is no typical size, or even style. As long as we are confident we can bring your vision to life, anything is possible!

What is the typical size of weddings you plan ?

We usually require to work with budgets from 80,000 Euros for intimate weddings of less than 50 guests, and from 150,000 Euros for larger events.

What type of budgets do you work with ?

Our fees are calculated according to each project depending on the size and complexity of the event, on whether there will be side events to plan and coordinate, etc. After an initial consultation we would draft a personalised proposal for your project.

Our fees start at 8,000 Euros for elopements, 15,000 Euros for intimate weddings, and 20,000 Euros for larger weddings.

How do you calculate your fees ?

As planners we have an invaluable experience of how much things tend to cost and we use that knowledge to advise our couples on how to make the best use of their budget. We sometimes negotiate some vendor prices and often our partners would do us some favours so that we can exceed our mutual client's expectations, based on our long lasting relationship. But we believe it is important that talented people get a fair remuneration for their services and therefore we would only negotiate in a way that is respectful of each professional's value.

Do you negotiate vendors rates ? 

I believe the main strengths of our wedding planning service are 
:
  • OUR WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE: Et Voila Weddings was among the first destination wedding planners in France. We have been planning destination weddings in France for over 12 years and have over 17 years experience planning events
.
  • OUR DEDICATION TO OUR COUPLES : From the moment a couple chooses us to be their wedding planners we are committed to provide the best service to them. We really want to make wedding planning an enjoyable, stress free and straight forward process for you and will do everything we can to achieve that goal.
  • OUR DEDICATION TO OUR COUPLES' GUESTS : It is really important to us that each of your guests have an amazing time and is given the opportunity to experience the lifestyle of the area your wedding is taking place in. From activities to products served or gifted, we want to make this experience unforgettable for all your guests.

  • OUR BILINGUALISM: Communication is so important in every aspect of our job and being able to fully understand our couples and translate their brief and wishes perfectly in French to our local partners seems absolutely paramount to us.

What makes you stand out from the crowd ?
