"As I don’t speak French, this was an absolutely massive help and took away so much stress."
When Donna and Wes decided to bring all their loved ones over from the UK for a grand destination wedding in France, they had a vision, a wonderful eye for detail, and... a lot of questions about local suppliers!
Planning a wedding abroad shouldn't feel like deciphering a foreign code. As a destination wedding planner, my job goes far beyond timelines and logistics. It’s about being your voice on the ground, translating your wishes, and speaking fluent French with every caterer, florist, and venue manager so you don’t have to worry about a single word.
So, if you are planning your wedding from abroad, and especially if you don't speak French, my absolute best advice is to hire a wedding planner or at least a coordinator!
Hearing Donna say that having someone to handle the language barrier took away her stress means the absolute world to me.
