“Sonja is warm and charming, but also extremely efficient and experienced in the field, you can tell she’s in this because she truly enjoys it.”
We had about 8-10 months from start to finish. Every meeting went smoothly, she’s always prepared and if she didn’t know the answer to something, she would get back to us within a period of days. She broke down every choice (flowers, venue, Etc) with a straightforward google doc that had pros and cons as well as any website/social media platform. Sonja always had time for us and scheduled meetings to help us make decisions. She understood our vision and designed everything to our tastes!

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book a luxury wedding planner in Europe?
For luxury weddings, we recommend booking your planner 12–18 months in advance, as we take on a limited number of events each year and dates book quickly, especially during peak season. Early booking allows ample time for thoughtful planning, custom design, and securing the finest vendor team for your destination wedding in Europe. That said, we always do our best to accommodate shorter timelines and will thoughtfully tailor our services to meet your needs whenever possible.
What’s included in your full-service wedding planning package?
Our full-service wedding planning package offers a highly personalized, end-to-end experience designed for discerning couples planning a luxury destination wedding in Europe. It includes concept and design development, budget planning and management, venue sourcing, curated vendor selection, full timeline creation, guest experience planning, and comprehensive coordination from the initial planning stages through the wedding weekend. We oversee every detail with precision and discretion, ensuring a seamless, elevated, and truly bespoke celebration.
What is the typical investment for wedding planning services?
Our couples typically plan with a minimum overall wedding budget of €150,000, which allows us to deliver the level of design, service, and attention to detail our luxury European destination weddings are known for. Our planning and design fees are custom-tailored based on the total wedding budget, scope, and size of the event (guest counts, number of event days, desired destination, etc.) ensuring a highly personalized and bespoke experience for each client.
How do you select and vet vendors?
We work with a carefully curated network of exceptional vendors who share our standards for quality, creativity, and professionalism. Each partner is thoroughly vetted through firsthand experience, proven reliability, and a strong track record of delivering at the highest level. For every celebration, we thoughtfully select and manage vendors best suited to your vision, aesthetic and chosen destination – whether that’s Lake Como, Lake Garda, Majorca, Berlin or elsewhere in Europe – ensuring a seamless, elevated experience from start to finish.
Do you provide design boards and mock-ups?
Yes. As part of our full-service planning and design process, we create bespoke design boards and detailed visual mock-ups to bring your vision to life. These thoughtfully curated visuals illustrate the overall aesthetic, color palette, textures, and key design elements, allowing you to clearly envision your celebration while we refine every detail with intention and precision for your destination wedding in Europe.
How quickly do you typically respond to questions?
We pride ourselves on attentive and thoughtful communication. In most cases, we respond to inquiries within one business day, ensuring you feel supported, informed, and confident throughout the planning process.
