Your wedding, with a Paris team
Kiss Me in Paris plans weddings in Paris and across France for couples living abroad. Our work brings together the venue, budget and guest arrangements, the flowers and lighting, and the team that installs and runs the celebration, from the first decisions to the wedding week.
Chantelle Streete, our co-founder and executive planner, leads the wedding-planning team she built and trained. Your lead planner helps you weigh the choices and coordinates the team in France.
We begin with what matters to you. A couple who cares most about dinner gets a wedding built around the table. If your families speak different languages or come with different traditions, those details shape the plan from the beginning. The flowers, music, food and pace of the evening all have a part in making it feel like your wedding.
Nadia also plans smaller weddings, intimate celebrations and elopements. We help you find the planner and scope that suit your celebration.
Real weddings in Paris and France
Four days and 240 guests at Château Saint-Martin-du-Tertre
A wedding week connecting Paris with a château outside the city, with Jewish and Venezuelan traditions shaping the schedule. Shabbat shaped the weekend; a midnight Hora Loca brought everyone back to the dance floor. Six members of our team worked on site with sixteen vendors.
The guest experience continued beyond the last course. Return coaches were scheduled for 1, 3 and 5 a.m., so guests could leave when they were ready and the party could keep going.
Three days at Hôtel Plaza Athénée
Mila and David welcomed sixteen guests to Paris. Sidecars and a wine workshop opened the weekend. An English-and-Russian ceremony in Le Salon Organza was followed by dinner in Le Salon Haute Couture, a magician, watercolor portraits and cancan performers.
We planned the whole visit and made room for the couple to spend time with their guests.
From the start, Chantelle managed every detail with grace and precision. She coordinated across English and Russian, always making sure Mila’s vision was front and center.

What full-service wedding planning includes
Your setting, guest count, events and priorities shape the scope. Your proposal sets out the responsibilities and inclusions in one plan.
Planning and guest experience
Venue and budget. Venue research and visits, date selection, budget planning, vendor agreements, payment schedules and approvals. We assess each venue’s setting, capacity and practical fit for your wedding.
The right people. Local and international vendors, catering and cake tastings, wine, beauty trials, officiants, photography and film. We weigh style, personality, language, fit and availability.
The whole visit. Hotels and room blocks, transportation, welcome gifts, itineraries, wedding-website support and guest communications. The plan can also include welcome dinners, rehearsal events, activities, the after-party and goodbye brunch.
Design and production
Your design. Ceremony and reception design, florals, furniture, linens, table settings, lighting, save-the-dates, invitations and stationery.
The party. Bands, DJs, singers and performers, timed to carry the evening from dinner to dancing.
The work on site. Floor plans, technical requirements, schedules, rehearsals, installation, venue and vendor briefings, staffing, weather plans and take-down. We can explore drone filming at venues outside Paris where permissions and flying restrictions allow.
How we plan your wedding from abroad
1. Start with what matters
The first call is complimentary and gives us time to understand the two of you, your guests and the celebration you have in mind. You do not need a date or venue confirmed: we can explore the setting, season and availability together. Whether a particular château, a great band or several days with your guests matters most, those priorities help us assess the choices and budget. If we are a good fit, we set out the scope and fee before you commit.
2. Choose the venue
A beautiful room is the beginning. We consider how the ceremony, dinner and dancing fit together, where guests will stay, and what the venue needs to support your plans. Weather alternatives, access and technical requirements belong in that conversation early. We explain the trade-offs behind the shortlist. Once the venue and date are confirmed, save-the-dates and priority vendor bookings can follow.
We agree on weather arrangements for your chosen setting during planning. Our work begins well before the wedding, and rain does not automatically cancel your booking. Any changes depend on the venue and vendors’ availability and are handled under your booking agreement.
3. Make the key decisions
For each major decision, we explain what we recommend, what it will cost and why. You approve it before we commit. We think through how each choice fits the day, from when the band comes on to how we light dinner outdoors. You make the decisions that matter, and we coordinate the vendors.
At Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, the chuppah flowers moved to the dance floor after the ceremony. We planned the structure, the crew and the timing before the wedding.
4. Plan from abroad
We plan in English and schedule calls around your time zone. Some couples plan without visiting France beforehand. When you do come, we organize the visit around useful decisions: seeing venues, tasting the menu, meeting your photographer and filmmaker, trying hair and makeup, and experiencing the hotels or activities you may recommend to guests.
5. Run the wedding week
By wedding week, the team, venue, vendors, artists and drivers have their briefings. We lead rehearsals, installation, guest logistics and the events on site. We pass allergy details to the kitchen and servers, make sure the room stays comfortable as it fills, and tell everyone affected when the schedule changes. That coordination stays with us, so you can welcome your guests and enjoy the party.
What does a Paris wedding planner cost?
Our planning fee is quoted for your wedding and depends on its size, scope, number of events and the planner leading it. We confirm availability and the fee for your dates as part of your proposal.
Nadia plans smaller and intimate weddings and elopements, with fees below those for weddings led by Chantelle. Your written proposal sets out the fee, inclusions and how third-party costs are handled before you commit.
The planning fee and the total wedding budget are separate figures. Share an approximate guest count, budget range and the celebrations you have in mind. If you already have a year or season in mind, include it; we can help you work out the date. For the wider costs of the celebration, see our Paris wedding guide.
Questions before you book
How far ahead should we book?
Most of our couples begin about a year ahead. A particular date at a popular venue may call for more time. If your wedding is closer, speak with us before assuming it is too late; the choices will depend on availability and what you want to plan.
Do we need to choose a venue first?
No. Venue research and selection are part of our work. If you already have a venue, we begin by understanding what is confirmed and how the space supports your plans.
Can we bring our own photographer or vendors?
Tell us who you have in mind. We’ll work out how they fit with the local team, what the venue requires and what travel arrangements they’ll need.
Do you plan weddings outside Paris?
Yes. We plan across France and accept selected weddings in Italy. The destination, scope and team are discussed together. Paris remains our home base.
Can we legally marry in France?
The rules for a civil ceremony depend on where you and your parents live and on your nationality. If you marry legally at home, you can still hold a symbolic ceremony in France. See our guide to marrying in France.
Can our wedding stay private?
Yes. We do not share names, dates, plans or photographs without permission. A formal non-disclosure agreement can be added when required. Read about our approach to discretion.
Where can we read reviews?
Our client reviews link to the original public accounts. Look for weddings with a similar planning scope or arrangements from abroad.
