Je m’appelle Julie et j’aide les futurs mariés à concrétiser leurs rêves et leurs envies pour ce jour si important : leur mariage.
Passionnée depuis mon plus jeune âge par l’organisation de moments de joie et de partage, j’ai eu la chance de réaliser tous types d’événements : mariages, événements privés ou encore événements professionnels.
Voyageuse dans l’âme, après une enfance en région parisienne, j’ai décidé d’explorer la France et le monde pendant plusieurs années.
Ces expériences professionnelles et personnelles ont renforcé ma curiosité, mon dynamisme et mon sens de the organization and détail (car oui, pour parcourir le monde, il faut savoir tout anticiper !)
En tant que wedding planner, je considère chaque mariage comme une toile vierge sur laquelle nous devons peindre une nouvelle histoire, votre histoire.
Il existe autant de jours J que de couples alors je suis à votre écoute, en toute bienveillance, pour que cette journée reflète votre personnalité, votre style et votre amour.
Ma mission : Que votre mariage soit à votre image, magique et inoubliable !
Organisatrice d’événements, je suis convaincue que chaque mariage est unique, tout comme chaque couple. Ancienne sportive de haut niveau, j’ai appris à gérer la pression, à rester calme et à prendre des décisions rapides dans des moments clés.
La Corse, avec ses paysages envoûtants et ses lieux empreints d’histoire, est une destination idéale pour créer des événements exceptionnels. C’est une région que je connais sur le bout des doigts et que j’aime faire découvrir à travers des mariages authentiques et raffinés.
Mon objectif est de créer des moments inoubliables, en vous offrant un accompagnement sur-mesure de qualité, que ce soit pour une organisation complète ou partielle de votre grand jour.
Ce qui me distingue ? Mon écoute, ma bienveillance et mon enthousiasme à voir se concrétiser vos rêves. Chaque mariage est un projet que je chéris et qui m’inspire. J’ai à cœur de comprendre vos désirs, vos personnalités, pour que chaque détail de cette journée exceptionnelle reflète qui vous êtes.
Ensemble, nous créerons un événement qui vous ressemble, un jour inoubliable où l’émotion et la joie seront à l’honneur!
