Planning your wedding in France while living abroad? You’ve booked incredible vendors, chosen a stunning venue near Tours… but who’s going to welcome your caterer and brief your DJ in French while you’re getting ready in English?
Many couples plan everything remotely, then realise a few weeks out that they need someone on the ground who speaks both languages fluently – for their guests and their vendors.
And that is where I come in 🙂
Why work with a bilingual Day-Of coordinator
Because language shouldn’t be a source of stress
You may be marrying in France without speaking fluent French – or welcoming English-speaking guests who don’t speak a word of it. I bridge that gap all day long: briefing French vendors, welcoming international guests, translating on the spot, so nothing gets lost between the two languages.
To fully enjoy your wedding day
You’ve planned this wedding vendor by vendor, detail by detail. On the day itself, your only job should be to be married, not to manage a project. I take over so you can live every moment, without one eye on your phone or your watch.
One single point of contact, in either language
Caterer, DJ, photographer, venue… on the day, every vendor needs one point of contact to stay coordinated. I become that trusted person for everyone involved – French-speaking or English-speaking – smoothing communication and defusing surprises before you even hear about them.
How I work
« Day-Of coordination » is a bit of a misleading name.
Contrary to what it suggests, it doesn’t start on the morning of your wedding – it starts well in advance, so that everything runs perfectly on the day.
Kick-off meeting
- About 3 to 4 months before the wedding, we connect – by video call (ideal if you’re not yet in France) or in person near Tours – for you to hand everything over to me: vendor contracts, your desired timeline, key people to brief, and any little secrets or surprises to orchestrate.
Building the master timeline
- Together, we build a near minute-by-minute schedule for your day, which I then share with every vendor so everyone is working from the same script – in the language they need.
Vendor liaison
- I take over the logistics coordination with each vendor: delivery times, setup schedules, and handoffs between key moments – communicating in French or English as needed, so nothing gets lost in translation.
The wedding day itself
- I’m on site from the very first preparations and stay until the party is in full swing, overseeing every transition and absorbing any hiccups without you ever hearing about them.
