As Africans and newly engaged couples, you must already be discussing which ceremony you should hold first. Religious affair, legal procedure, or age-old traditions? Is it possible to juggle them all? If not, which one gets the spotlight first? The choice can be quite tricky.

Let’s figure it out together.

When it comes to celebrating love, few places rival the romance and charm of France. The rolling vineyards, picturesque chateaux, and historic towns provide the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. However, the choice of the date and season can be tricky. The choice of the best season to get married in France largely depends on personal preferences, the type of wedding you envision, and the climate you prefer. France offers a variety of beautiful settings and weather conditions throughout the year, each with its own charm.

Organisation is crucial for successful event planning. A well-structured system from the start will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.

Whether you are planning your own wedding or hiring a wedding planner, having a dedicated email address exclusively for everything wedding related is a must. From inquiries and appointments to sending calendar invitations for wedding-related occasions, engaging with suppliers and vendors, subscribing to wedding email lists, keeping track of bridal shows, managing your wedding gift list (if applicable), and more - this address holds it all.

The initial phase of booking event planning, design, and coordination services starts with an initial consultation meeting. These conversations typically last 30 minutes to 1 hour and can be conducted via telephone, face-to-face meetings, or online sessions. It is an opportunity for you and the wedding planner to get to know each other and figure out if you are a match made in heaven.

Your wedding day is a cherished milestone, a day filled with emotions, memories, and moments that will be treasured forever. Behind the scenes of this special day, a wedding planner plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the intricate dance of details that come together to create your dream celebration.

This guide takes you through the steps of finding the right wedding planner, from research to decision-making.
