Incredible!

Marie was the most incredible wedding planner we could have asked for. Every small detail was thought of and we didn't have any worries on the day. Everyone has commented on how smooth the wedding ran and that was down to all the careful planning and co-ordinating. We had the best day ever, and we can never put into words just how grateful we are!

A perfect wedding planner, who took care of every detail for us!

Marie-Laure was attentive to every single detail in planning our wedding, and ensuring the day itself was perfect!

We are an Australian couple, and decided to get married in Provence in France, this was further complicated by two years of delays due to covid-19.

Marie-Laure was so thoughtful, flexible, and efficient during our planning, managing every single detail of the day including budgets and vendors perfectly.

We would absolutely recommend working with her, as she played a huge part in making sure our special day was perfect for us. Thank you!

Best wedding planner

We used Marie Laure to plan our wedding in the Loire Valley while living in New York. She was professional, helpful, and a delight to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to worry less about their wedding since it will be in such great hands.

I can't say enough about how great Marie-Laure is!

Marie-Laure helped me create a surprise proposal and "forever-fiance" ceremony. I had never been to the location of the proposal and ceremony. But I felt comfortable because Marie-Laure spent a lot of time getting to know James and I and helping put together a program that exceeded my expectations. She planned all the details and brought the entire event together beautifully. She was imaginative, thoughtful, thorough, responsive and a voice of reason when I needed a reality check. Marie-Laure provided truly exceptional planning, coordination and event services, and I highly recommend working with her.

Giacomelli Weddings was so helpful and professional from the minute she started working on our wedding. She assisted in the choice of our vendors, advised us and followed-up with us as much as possible until the D Day. She organized everything so that we could enjoy this beautiful and lovely memory. We highly recommend GW for any wedding or event.

Marie-Laure couldn't have been more responsive and accommodating to our needs. As an American couple getting married in France, we asked for quite a few customizations to the typical French wedding, such as a full bar service during the cocktail hour and gluten-free options. No ask was too much for Marie-Laure, who even helped us devise a back-up plan on the day of our wedding in case it started to rain as we walked down the aisle (spoiler alert: it did).

For Americans looking to get married in France, I can't recommend Marie Laure enough. Her English is perfect (as is her French obviously) and she was available for conference calls very late in the evening her time. Her dedication to our wedding was impressive; she was there for the rehearsal dinner, the entire wedding day, and the brunch the day after. Bravo Marie-Laure!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
