Our expertise also extends to corporate events, including summer parties, retreats, openings, launch parties, and Christmas parties.

02
Why should we hire a Wedding Planner / Event Planner?
A Wedding Planner is not just a luxury for couples with limited time or those not residing locally. They are valuable partners who simplify the entire process through their experience and knowledge. The myriad of decisions to be made and countless options can be overwhelming. An experienced planner navigates this complexity, optimizes the budget, and ensures you’re relaxed and worry-free on your event day. While there are costs associated with this service, the investment pays off. It not only grants access to cost-effective solutions but also lets you enjoy the day without additional stressors. With a planner by your side, you can be confident your big day will be as dreamt.
03
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier, the better. To ensure meticulous planning, especially for weddings, we recommend reaching out at least 12-18 months in advance. However, we have successfully planned numerous last-minute weddings. Feel free to inquire anytime, and we’ll provide an honest assessment of feasibility and realism.
For corporate and private events, it varies depending on complexity and budget.
04
What are your pricing expectations?
Our pricing is as bespoke as your event. For comprehensive wedding planning, our complete package starts at €10,000.
Additionally, we offer various partial planning options like consultation packages, location scouting, color & design concepts, proposals, bridal and after-wedding shoots, all viewable on our website.
For corporate and private events, prices vary based on scope and requirements.
05
Is there a contract?
Yes. After our initial consultation, we’ll provide a detailed service contract/offer outlining all agreed-upon services and terms.
06
How is payment handled?
We issue invoices payable within 10 days to the designated account. Payment terms are outlined in the service contract and are also available in our terms and conditions.
Currently, we unfortunately don’t offer flexible payment options like credit card payments for our services.
07
What budget range is recommended for weddings?
To craft a memorable experience for every guest, thoughtful planning and investment are essential. As a guideline, we recommend a budget of approximately €1,000 per guest for all wedding planning aspects, excluding our fee. Costs can vary depending on specific desires and requirements. Starting early opens up a broader range of options, both in selection and pricing. Let’s bring your vision to life together!

Do you handle Destination Weddings & Events?
Certainly! Why limit celebrations to one location when the world is filled with magical venues? Whether it’s vibrant Berlin, sun-kissed beaches in the Algarve, or picturesque settings across Europe, we’re there, crafting your destination wedding or event precisely where envisioned.
A glimpse: While we have a soft spot for Portugal and Spain’s sunny locales, we’re equally drawn to enchanting spots in France, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, and Italy. Simply put, wherever you desire, we’ll illuminate your vision, adding that special touch.
