Testimonials

Katherine & Farzan

Monica went above and beyond our expectations. Without her knowledge and experience, we wouldn’t have been able to execute the dream elopement that she brought to life. She helped us curate an ensemble of high-quality vendors.

The cinematic work of our photographer has taken our breath away. The videographers composed a beautiful film vignette that captured the magic of our special day. Our vintage Triumph TR4 gave us the opportunity to chase the final rays of sunlight in the hills of Provence. The string trio created the perfect soundtrack to match the romance of our day. These include just a few highlights from the many elements that Monica planned so meticulously.

Monica managed the cadence of the day in a way that allowed us to be present in the moment. Monica was professional yet personal. Her energy is warm and welcoming. We’re grateful for the connection we’ve made and look forward to sharing life updates for years to come.

Monica’s assistant, was an absolute delight to work with as well. Her attentiveness and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated. The two of them make a strong and fun team to work with. Being a part of Haute Wedding has been such a positive experience! We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-quality destination wedding planner.

Words cannot describe how happy we both are with how our wedding day and weekend turned out. Magali and her team truly did an incredible job and went above and beyond to make sure the entire weekend was perfect! Magali was able to help us find a very unique, beautiful setting on a vineyard in Provence and worked with the vineyard throughout the year on our behalf.

Everything exceeded our expectations – from the setting, to the decor and event management from Magali for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing! Each segment of the evening was unique and well executed.

Magali was an incredible support system and thought partner in the lead up and on the day. We could not have done any of this without her. We highly recommend the Haute Wedding team!

We cannot recommend and thank Monica enough for all she did to make our dream wedding come to life!

Monica is such a lovely, warm and caring person. She will get to know you as people and do everything to make your special day about you. She was always on the same page as us and really fought for us to get exactly what we wanted. We trusted Monica 100% from start to finish and we are so glad we did!

Monica found us the perfect florist, venue, DJ, celebrant, photographer/videographer and makeup/hair artists. She thought of and sorted out every little detail- things we would never have thought of ourselves. The wedding day itself was totally stress free thanks to Monica and Anna – even when we had a last minute emergency where one of our groomsmen got stuck at the airport with a flat tyre! Monica handled everything so effeciently and stayed cool and calm throughout the whole thing.

From the bottom of our hears, thank you so so much!

Lots of love,

We had our magical wedding in Provence last September and I honestly don’t know what would I’ve done without Haute Wedding! Thank you so much my dear Anna & Magali. At the start, it was so overwhelming as we had only 6 months to plan everything, but Anna kept it all under control and within our budget.

She took time to understand our vision and offered valuable suggestions. She sourced the providers and was always at hand to answer any questions. Anna’s approach was “anything is possible” and so everything came out just perfect: from the beautiful flower arrangements to the dream venue. I was amazed how effortlessly smooth everything went on the day of the wedding and our guests commented that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. I only wish that time didn’t fly so fast on the day!

If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your dreams come true, look no further than Haute Wedding. They will make it happen and you will have so much fun planning your perfect day!
