Who's that girl

Elegance is free
More is always possible
Authenticity beats ostentatious.

“From way back when, I’ve been on a constant quest for aesthetics. I thrive on being enveloped in beauty, making every experience an absolute stunner.

Beauty isn’t just about what meets the eye—it’s in the acts of generosity, kindness, and the sheer joy of human connection. It’s about those unexpected, jaw-dropping moments and those crystal-clear dreams that I’m determined to turn into reality.

My work? It’s my ultimate playground. Dreaming, scheming, and making it all happen—it’s my ticket to a life filled with beauty.

But hey, I’m not just about the glitz and glam. I’m all about the process. I’m a woman on a mission, driven by every step of the journey. And I can’t wait to dive in and get to know you both better.”

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

It is absolutely essential to have a wedding planner in general but even more so in another country! We do not speak French fluently so having Muriel's support with vendor negotiations and changes was crucial to ensuring the planning went smoothly.

We keep joking that we’ll have to do it all again soon because the wedding was too much fun and magical for everyone!
Hope to see you soon, either in the States or in France.
Much Love,

ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!
I woke up this morning feeling so much love and admiration for all of you that came here and made this so special for my G and Bri!! It would not have been the same without you here.
A BIG SHOUT OUT AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU♥️

After reviewing multiple wedding planners my husband and I booked Muriel with a little under one year to plan our wedding. From the very start she made us feel completely relaxed and assured us that all our ideas would be achievable. Nothing was too big of an ask. We even changed our wedding venue to a different country and she was happy to accommodate us with this. She was by our side the whole way. On the wedding day especially this is where I appreciated this most. Everything was taken care of and the whole day went so smoothly due to her having every little detail under control. I can not recommend her services enough!

If you're thinking of having your wedding abroad and you have a busy life, you NEED to speak to Muriel! She made the whole process seamless for us: from finding a wonderful venue; to sourcing the right chef; from the marquee through to the tiniest detail, she had it covered. She spent time with us getting to understand our vision and, quite simply, made it happen. But where we really noticed the difference was on the day itself. She removed so much stress from the situation, that we were really able to focus on enjoying ourselves and the big occasion. What's more, she's a lovely woman: friendly, caring and a lot of fun!

We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding weekend so flawless and magical.
Everything was gorgeous, seamless, stress free and efficient. You went above and beyond… taking me to my hair appointment to translate… bringing speakers from home… I felt like I was your daughter!
You made me and my family feel so loved and so well taken care of.
So many guests commented on how fabulous you and your team were.
You and I have such a special connection & I know we will be friends forever.
