Blake & Noé

SERRE CHEVAILIER, French Alps, 2023

Chère Cecile et Anna,

We want to thank you both for helping to make Blake & Noé’s wedding days absolutely magical!!!
We greatly appreciate all of your handwork, your expertise and your calming guidance. Also, for keeping us all on track, for orchestrating every detail with each of the lodges, and for making each event worry free. I can’t even imagine everything that you negotiated. Without a doubt, we couldn’t have pulled everything off without you two. I’m sure we don’t even know all that you did behind the scenes to insure such a successful celebration.

And somehow, you even spoke to the Gods, or rather the Goddesses, and got Mother Nature to provide absolutely the most spectacular day for the wedding! Damn you are good!!

We are forever grateful!!!
MERCI, MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!

FRENCH RIVIERA, 2022

Embarking on the journey of planning a wedding abroad in France was no small task, but once we matched with Monica we were immediately put at ease! Right away Monica got us organized by setting a timeline to book vendors and scheduling meetings to discuss every detail of our dream wedding. Since we were not fluent in French, we were beyond thankful to have Monica to communicate and facilitate all of our contracts. Monica’s attention to detail is unsurpassed, she takes the time to ensure nothing is overlooked and everything is triple checked. Haute Wedding has incredible connections that cannot be sourced on your own. For every role that we needed to fill, they provided us with a range of curated options that they knew to be dependable and outstanding. We can’t thank Monica and her team enough for giving us the most amazing photographer, officiant, florists, venues, and so much more!

To say Monica went above and beyond for our wedding would be a huge understatement. When we were faced with postponing or wedding due to the pandemic, Monica acted quickly and resolved an impossible situation. She was able to have all our contracts pushed to the new date without incurring any penalties or fees – and she not only did this once but twice! Once we reached our much-awaited wedding weekend, Monica had the schedule planned out precisely. She handled everything behind the scenes and we never had any worry that all would go accordingly. When I think back to our rehearsal and wedding, I am filled with happiness and joy remembering how perfect it all was! Thank you Monica with all our hearts for making our once-in-a-lifetime moments truly unforgettable!

Love, Laura & Travis – New York City, USA.

I hope you could see last Saturday how MUCH we both enjoyed the day!! I was all just magic and beyond even our all expectations. We are speechless (which does not really happen that often with me).

Also from my half, the words really feel insufficient to describe our gratitude to you, Magali. How perfectly everything went and how we got our absolute dream wedding! We will need still a few weeks, probably months (!!!) to digest our magical day.  As we said, words just feel really insufficient to express our thankfulness with its all magnitude.

We are so thankful for all the hard work you put in for our special day ️ I couldn’t ever dream for more magical wedding in Chamonix –  Merci du fond du cœur.

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!

We have spent the lst two days just talking about the wedding and how perfect it was. I can not tell you how many people came up to us on the boat the day after and just said: 'Wow! this has been by far the best wedding I have ever gone to and probably will go to!' I told them we get some credit but really its because of the team at haute wedding thanks Anna!!

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,

Annika & Kabir

Well, where to start. I could write pages on how amazing our experience was with Cecile (and all of the Haute Wedding team) but I'll keep it short.  Amazing, talented, patient, intelligent, helpful, professional, friendly, responsive, trustworthy.  Everything and more that you would want when looking for someone to help you plan one of the most important days of your life.

Cecile was an absolute pleasure to work with, no request was too much, our worries and stresses were turned into excitement and happiness at every turn and we felt like we had a friend planning our wedding.

Her spreadsheets are second to none and everybody loved the detailed, in-depth timeline to keep them on track on the day.  We honestly couldn't have wished for more. 

They are a team of beautiful people.

Thank you both so much from

Thank you both SO MUCH for all of your help in making our wedding day happen. Andrew and I can both confidently say that it wouldn't have been possible without each of you. You both have this calming energy that makes even the biggest tasks seem simple and achievable, which during the stress of wedding planning is seriously so valuable.

All the best,

Myself and my now wife are both from Ireland. We decided, we wanted our wedding day in Chamonix, France. We both have a deep connection to France and in particular Chamonix. 

After searching online for wedding planners, we were so lucky to secure the services of Magali Bonano from Haute Weddings. 

From the ideas stage, right through to the execution of our dream wedding, Magali, was with us every step of the way. When we spoke initially of our ideas, Magali quickly set to work and demonstrated her ability to actualise these concepts in a way we couldn’t have dreamt. 

The end product was incredible and although perhaps biased, we can honestly say, it was beyond anything we could have thought possible. She tied the seams of our wedding together, for what our guests described afterwards as, “a once in a lifetime” wedding. 

The schedule on the day was planned precisely, ensuring that every segment from Rock Climbing in the morning, to the Bridal Preparations/Getting dressed…the Ceremony to the Speeches…The Music, the Entrance, the Sax Player, the Wedding cake…was as though it had been rehearsed 100 times prior. 

This level of professionalism ensured Stress was at a minimum in the lead up, and allowed us to soak up the excitement on not only the wedding day, but those days preceding, and the extended party post wedding. On a side note: Magali, stayed until 3am in the morning to ensure every second went as planned and only left, to drop both myself and Nicola (my wife) to our hotel.

We both wish the utmost success to Magali and the rest of the team at Haute Weddings for the future. We would not hesitate to recommend Magali’s services to anyone wishing to have their dream wedding in Chamonix.

Nous nous sommes mariés fin mars 2024 à Chamonix et nous avons été accompagnés par Haute Wedding, en particulier Cécile et Magali. Depuis le début elles ont très bien compris ce que nous avions en tête pour cet événement et nous ont permis de faire de ce rêve une réalité. Nous avons pu nous appuyer sur leur proactivité et leur professionnalisme pour la sélection des lieux, la bonne coordination des prestataires, le suivi budgétaire, le déroulé détaillé du jour J, etc. Pour nous, c'est une énorme valeur ajoutée en termes de temps gagné et de tranquillité d'esprit. Elles sont investies à 200%, la communication est très fluide et elles savent gérer les aléas de dernière minute. Le jour J tout s'est parfaitement déroulé et ça restera un grand moment pour nous, nos familles et amis. Nous vous les recommandons chaudement. 

We got married at the end of March 2024 in Chamonix and we were accompanied by Haute Wedding, especially Cécile and Magali. From the beginning they understood very well what we had in mind for this event and allowed us to make this dream a reality. We were able to rely on their proactivity and professionalism for the selection of locations, the good coordination of service providers, budget monitoring, the detailed course of D-day, etc. For us, it is a huge added value in terms of time saved and peace of mind. They are 200% invested, communication is very fluid and they know how to manage last-minute hazards. On D-day everything went perfectly and it will remain a great moment for us, our families and friends. We highly recommend them.

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.

Chamonix, French Alps

Anna and her team planned our wedding in Chamonix, France in August of 2024. My wife and I live in UK and are originally from Norway and Canada and therefore had no formal connection to Chamonix. We got in touch with Anna about 1,5 years before the wedding and from minute 1 she was always available and knowledgeable. Anna helped to select the high altitude and town venues, DJ, photographer, florist and logistics. 

We have heard so many compliments on everything so far, and that could not have been done without Anna's depth of knowledge of the area, her connections and her understanding. She made time for my wife and I, was prompt to answer messages or hop on a video call, and accepted packages as we were out of country. If anyone is planning a wedding in the region, I cannot recommend Anna and her team enough! 

Thanks for making our dreams come true, Anna!

CHAMONIX, French Alps, 2023

All we can say is WOW. When we decided on a destination wedding, the very first thing we did was look for a Planner. We spoke with a few, and found Monica of Haute Hedding to be immediately helpful, unfailingly efficient, knowledgeable, kind, and totally lovely – she has a warm relaxed energy which was essential in general but in particular later down the line when wedding planning started to get a little stressful.

You begin the journey with an exploratory call together, and the venues Monica returned with were perfect. She knows her stuff, that’s for sure! When planning a destination wedding your time out in your country of choice is precious, which is why it’s so important to have a bilingual local with strong relationships as your Planner.

Monica surpassed all of our expectations and we still have guests weeks after the event gushing about how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. It was, indeed, also the best wedding WE had ever been to, so we feel beyond grateful that it was our own!! We are totally blown away, and still floating on Cloud 9 weeks later. Monica, you are an angel sent from heaven, thank you for everything, you hold a special place in our hearts.

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!
