THE LUXURY

Of Choices

Crafting weddings is an art that requires not just creativity but a deep understanding of personal stories and emotions. With years of experience and a background in performing arts and cinema, I see each wedding as an opportunity to create an immersive, unforgettable experience. Every detail matters, every choice is intentional, and every wedding is a world of its own, as unique as the couple behind it.
My role extends far beyond simply organizing your wedding; it’s about guiding you through the entire process and helping you make decisions that resonate with your personal style and expectations. I see myself as both an interpreter of your dreams and a reliable partner throughout this journey.
Rooted in genuine connection, my approach focuses on understanding who you are as a couple. With a multicultural background and fluency in multiple languages, I bring a nuanced sensitivity to each couple’s unique story.
By truly understanding your tastes, values, and what excites you about your special day, I can craft an experience that is not only deeply personal but also incredibly meaningful for both you and your guests.
There is an essential balance between design and planning, and I believe one cannot flourish without the other. A beautifully designed wedding needs flawless execution, just as impeccable planning brings a well-conceived design to life. My team and I focus on this balance, ensuring that every event we create is both visually stunning and seamlessly orchestrated.
Honesty, trust, and meaningful collaboration are at the core of everything I do. These values allow for an open exchange of ideas, creating an atmosphere where creativity thrives, and your vision can come to life in a way that feels effortless. Ensuring that your wedding is not just a reflection of beauty, but of integrity and connection. From the enchanting venues of Monaco to the romantic landscapes of Italy, each celebration is designed with sophistication and elegance at its heart.

Everything was down to the detail and that’s what made it unique and special! The best part is Imene made sure I had no stress at all!
She held my hand literally and metaphorically since the first meeting we had.

What I loved about the process is -she listening to your dreams and executes them – she does not just do what she wants – when she had a better idea she shows you why and how -she is very responsive -her ideas are super creative! Her ideas are great – but her ability to execute the ideas are even better!

They were transparent, honest about everything, and because of their approach, the wedding was feasible.
