Exclusive wedding planning across Germany and Europe, based in Cologne

WELCOME TO THE GREAT WEDDING & EVENTS

As a full-service agency, we oversee the planning, design, and execution of exclusive weddings with a distinctive signature style.
Our passion lies in creating celebrations that combine style, character, and personality — sophisticated, modern, and authentic.

We specialize in destination weddings in Italy, France, and Spain and offer a curated portfolio of exceptional venues.
Whether in a villa on Lake Como, along the Côte d’Azur, or amidst the vineyards of Provence — we design weddings that tell stories.
Of course, we also plan celebrations in Germany or anywhere else that feels right for you. Our approach blends aesthetics with precision, creativity with clarity, and luxury with ease.

For us, exclusivity means creating with intention — individually, cohesively, and in collaboration with people who share the same commitment to quality.
Because we place great value on personal guidance, we accept only a limited number of weddings each year.

We would be delighted to get to know you.

SERVICES​

Every wedding is a unique and cohesive concept — shaped by thoughtful design, intentional planning, and a clear aesthetic vision. Our focus lies on bespoke concepts that go beyond traditional wedding planning and evolve into truly authentic experiences.

From the first idea to the final execution, we accompany you with a finely tuned sense of style, structure, and atmosphere. We see wedding planning as a creative discipline — one that brings together time, experience, and intuition.

Because we place great value on quality and personal guidance, we take on only a limited number of weddings per year — with the commitment to shaping every detail with care and integrity. We would be delighted to get to know you.
