This was the best moment in our life. It was well-prepared up to the very little details. From the very beginning we had no doubt we would need a wedding planner for the coordination of the wedding day.

It turned out that Fiona was very helpful and also of good advice throughout the overall planning process which we meant to manage on our own. She always found the right words and ideas to guide us into the direction we wanted.

We did under estimate the effort needed for decoration and making the location look pretty. Fortunately we could buy this service from Fiona. She and her associate did such a fantastic job. Up to the very little details they turned a very "cold" Château to a warm and welcoming place, for the day and for the night. They had a perfect idea on where to place what. It made us and everyone else feel comfortable that day. Even today, everyone thinks back with a smile and still feels the love that was in the air.

Obviously not everything works as planned during the wedding day but we did not notice anything thanks to Fiona’s professionalism. She and her associate managed all challenges behind the scenes and made our day perfect. Today we laugh about all those details that went wrong without us noticing and finally turned out perfectly well thanks to the professional management of our wedding planners.

I recommend everyone warmly and without hesitating Fiona if you want to have a beautiful, customised and successful wedding. The team is definitely worth every penny.

Fiona is the most stylish, attentive, detail-oriented and empathetic person you could hope to design and execute one of the most important days of your life. Especially if you fancy yourself an unrequited princess. ;) We were referred to her by another very happy (and wise!) couple. Fiona thinks of it all, even things super OCD folks like myself can't help but fixate upon. And her recommendations for venues and vendors are absolutely top notch. It was hard to choose among the fabulous options. She also keeps a firm eye on your budget. And last but not least, she has a beautiful soul. You can't go wrong.

Fiona was an incredible partner during our wedding planning process. She is highly experienced and guided us through each step from planning our timeline, introducing us to very talented and professional vendors, and coordinating each detail. Our wedding days were a fairytale, dream come true and stress free for me as a bride. I knew I could count on Fiona, and with no surprise she executed and delivered a magical wedding event! We had a three day wedding event in Burgundy and each day was perfect from the table settings, music, ambiance, food and entertainment. All our guests loved it and as the bride and groom, we also had time to relish the magic and enjoy our wedding with Fiona by our side. Fiona went out of her way to give our wedding a thoughtful personal touch - she ordered shoe stoppers to help our guests with heels walk on the grass, used her own personal vintage decor items that matched our 1920s theme, fixed my wedding dress bustle that broke on the day of, walked all the way back to help me get my comfortable shoes… I could go on and on! Our guests really appreciated the personal touches and many said it was the best and most thoughtful wedding they ever attended! Thank you Fiona for the continuous messages, calls and emails in the last year and a half to make our dream wedding possible and unforgettable. On top of all this, it was so lovely getting to know you as a person and friend 🥰 . If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is highly organised, thoughtful, creative with an elegant touch, has incredible rapport with extremely talented vendors and has a fun personality, look no further!!

If you're dreaming of a fairytale wedding in France, look no further than Fiona! Our three-day celebration at Chateau du Fey with 120 guests from over 20 countries was truly magical, thanks to Fiona's expertise and dedication. We dreamt of a intimate, elegant ceremony under a big oak tree, with lush florals and a whimsical feel. Fiona not only brought this to life, but she also helped us added a lot of cultural and thematic decorations which created the most magical atmosphere we could have ever imagined. It's no wonder our guests keep telling us it's the best wedding they've ever attended!

Having interviewed over 10 wedding planners, we knew Fiona was the perfect fit. Here's why:

1. A true listener: From day one, Fiona genuinely cared about our vision and helped us refine it into something even more spectacular.

2. Dream team of vendors: She connected us with incredible talents, like our florist who created breathtaking bouquets and our photographer who captured the day's emotions perfectly.

3. Budget clarity: Fiona kept us informed and helped us make smart decisions, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

4. Creative genius: She suggested incorporating a vintage Morgan car for our grand entrance, a touch that added so much charm and personality.

5. Personal touch: Fiona's warmth and kindness made the whole journey special. She surprised us with a guestbook made from vintage postcards, knowing our love for them.

Merci, Fiona, for everything. You turned our dream wedding into a reality that exceeded all expectations. Our celebration will be forever etched into our hearts. Don't hesitate to contact Fiona – she'll make your wedding dreams a reality!

When we first got engaged, we dreamed of having our wedding in Paris, our favorite city. Fiona was not only able to make this happen, but was able to give us a wedding celebration that far exceeded anything we could have imagined. The church was breathtaking, and the venue was gorgeous and absolutely perfect for what we wanted. She handled everything down to the finest detail, and the entire 3-day event went off perfectly. Our guests all loved the experience, and we could not be happier ourselves. We recommend Fiona 100% to anyone who might be looking to get married in the City of Live!

We knew we wanted a wedding in Paris that felt chic and intimate, with exquisite food. Armed with nothing beyond that vague notion and a limited budget, we set out interviewing planners over Zoom. We spoke with several who offered packages in beautiful venues but with food or decor tastes that didn’t suit us, and others who believed our budget too meager to achieve the classic Parisian style we craved. Fiona stood out, not only by her warm nature, but also with her attitude that any feeling or concept could be achieved as she would find a way.

From countless phone calls about details to consider, to guiding me and my mom through a whirlwind several days touring Paris to see an array of places for the festivities, to inventing solutions to unforeseen problems, Fiona was by our side with not only answers, but questions and ideas we hadn’t ourselves considered. Fiona also made sure our personal style, tastes, and love shined through every detail. The result was a seamless wedding more extravagant than I imagined possible: we wanted an outdoor ceremony; she found the perfect hidden garden. We wanted a classy venue; she somehow secured the Georges V on our narrow budget. We wanted the dinner to be the star of the show; she negotiated for a three star Michelin prix fixe. She even surprised us day-of with a spectacular location for a photoshoot she secretly arranged on our behalf - my favorite photos from the day. Throughout the planning process and on the day itself, she made sure we were happy, stress-free, and fed. If anything went wrong on our perfect day, we were not aware as she filled any gap and covered every base. Truly, it was the perfect day, and both the planning and execution would have been unimaginable without formidable Fiona.

I came across Fiona Sands while searching for a wedding planner. She was the first person I contacted and I looked no further.
I found her to be so personable, easy to talk to and extremely creative.
Helping plan this wedding posed many challenges for Fiona, but she took them all in her stride. The bridal couple live in New York and the wedding was in Paris, so meeting with vendors and arranging calls and video chats was often difficult.
However, Fiona managed to get everything organized and created a beautiful plan for the wedding, managing to work within the couple's budget and making their wedding vision a reality.
Fiona's recommended vendors - especially her videographer, photographer and beauty artists were not only extremely talented but also very reasonably priced. I cannot praise her enough.

Fiona was a wonderful person to work with. For me as the groom, she made the experience very comfortable. I never felt out of place, and she always made sure I had a voice in the entire process and that my opinion was valued. I appreciated that she never gave up on any of our ideas, even if they seemed unrealistic. She always helped us find a way to get what we were hoping for. The wedding planner/client relationship was professional and wonderful, but my favorite part is how it extended past that. I know that whenever my wife and I go back to Paris, we will be seeing her as a friend now.

We were SO lucky to find Fiona! My husband and I interviewed a few planners. Most of the planners did not really listen to what we were saying when we talked about what we were looking for in our dream wedding, they only saw dollar signs. Fiona understood our budget and stayed within the confines of our price range. She kept us on track with timing, budgeting, and got us everything we wanted (and more!!). She is organized, hits the brief you give her, solves problems behind closed doors that I didn’t know existed in the moment, has a clear plan on how to bring your vision to life, and we especially loved that she is sustainable-minded, donating leftovers to those in need.

Her emotional intelligence is incredibly high and you can tell she is really passionate about finding the things she knows you will love. Fiona instinctively knows when a bride or groom is happy, satisfied, or is looking for something else. She knew I had a particular venue in mind and she did not give up until we nailed it!

She came with me to my catering tasting when I visited Paris (my husband unfortunately couldn’t make it), and showed me the things to pay attention to, asked questions on our behalf, took notes on everything I liked and didn’t like, and made me feel like I had a confidant and friend in her. She hugged me when I cried seeing my venue for the first time, and at the welcome dinner and on our wedding day, she was there every time I needed her with the sweetest, most calm demeanor and a big smile on her face.

I would pick her a thousand times over - the wedding industry can be overwhelming and finds so many ways to nickel and dime you - I knew I could trust Fiona to go to bat for us on costs and realistically push back when something did not make sense. We could not have planned a destination wedding without Fiona! Thank you so much Fiona, you made my dream wedding possible and exceeded my expectations of what my special weekend could look like. ❤️

Nous avons eu une fantastique expérience avec Fiona et son entreprise Hera et Lutèce lors du planning de notre mariage. Organiser un mariage transatlantique ne semble pas être une tâche facile et pourtant tout s'est déroulé sans mauvaise surprise. Fiona a été réceptive à nos souhaits, toujours réactive et notre niveau de stress est resté tout à fait léger! Merci Fiona et merci pour toutes tes petites attentions!
