Olivia and Samir
"WOW WOW WOW WOW!!! I cannot believe it's almost been a week since our wedding weekend, and we are still on cloud nine!
It was hard at times to imagine what a whole weekend with all your favourite people in France would look like. I knew from our year long phone calls and emails that we were in good hands, but there is simply nothing that could have prepared us for the impeccable work you and your team did that WHOLE weekend. ALL the suppliers you introduced us to who worked together so perfectly in sync to create nothing short of MAGIC!
I will miss our planning emails and calls. I will look back fondly at this year of preparations and remember all the excitement that surrounded it, all the girly moments talking about wedding decor and saying "EEEEKKK" down the phone!
I'll never forget the butterflies that morning getting ready, the calm and chaos that filled the air. How could I ever forget you getting emotional when you saw me in my dress! That says a lot about you, Julia. As a successful wedding planner, you've seen countless brides in their dresses, but you're also a wonderful person who makes everyone feel special and unique on their big day. It was such an honor to share that moment with you.
Thank you for EVERYTHING, Julia! We could not have done it without you."

As the wedding day approached and on the day itself, Julia truly shined. She effortlessly handled every aspect of the event, from managing potential rain concerns with a calming presence to ensuring that everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes. Thanks to Julia's meticulous planning and execution, we were able to relax and fully enjoy what turned out to be the best day of our lives.
Julia's professionalism, warmth, and dedication to her craft are unmatched. We are so grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding planner who goes above and beyond to make dreams come true."

"We can’t thank you enough for all your hard work. Without your input and attention to detail, never in a million years would we have been able to create our wedding day. My words don’t do it justice. I’m so, so grateful.
It really was the best day of our lives, and quite honestly, we just couldn't have done it without you. My husband and I will be forever grateful for you and all of your hard work and dedication. You are so wonderful, such a kind and bubbly personality, and I can't tell you enough how blessed we feel to have had you involved in our big day."

"Julia was an absolute dream to work with, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have had her as our wedding planner.
From the very first meeting, we were struck by her creativity, thoughtfulness, and her impeccable attention to detail. She has a true gift for seeing the bigger picture while making sure every tiny element is perfectly in place.
Her fresh and modern approach made the planning process not only smooth but enjoyable. She brought ideas to the table that we hadn’t even considered, and every suggestion felt like it was tailored just for us. Julia has an incredible ability to pull all the threads together, creating a day that felt personal, meaningful, and absolutely beautiful.
From start to finish, she managed everything with such ease, ensuring that every detail was taken care of and that we could focus on enjoying our day without a single worry.
Julia didn’t just plan our wedding; she brought our vision to life in a way that was beyond what we could have imagined. Her dedication, warmth, and passion for her work shone through in every aspect. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her! She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, then made it even better.
We are so grateful to Julia for making our day unforgettable. She made the entire journey feel effortless, and we are still in awe of how perfectly everything came together. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with, look no further. Julia is simply the best, and we can’t thank her enough!"

"Wow, where do we begin?! Julia was so enthusiastic and thoughtful about making our own wedding very special and personal to us. We never once felt like an afterthought.
Julia has great connections within the industry and was able to recommend an incredible group of suppliers that we were lucky enough to work with on our wedding day, yet we never felt overwhelmed with the choices and decisions that we had to make. Everything was timed well throughout the process, and we trusted Julia’s recommendations – and how great they all were!
Our wedding day went off without a hitch – partially due to thorough planning behind the scenes, but another huge part was Julia’s calming presence, a trait that I now see is so important in a wedding planner. Julia had a plan B ready for every part of the day just in case we needed it, and we felt so relaxed knowing everything was under control. As a result, we were able to enjoy every second of our wedding day.
I would highly recommend using Julia as your wedding planner. She took so much of the stress out of wedding planning, and even made it fun and exciting. She was such a lovely and calming person to work with on our wedding day. Thank you for everything! It was such a perfect day."
