Where do we begin when describing our collaboration with Leo for our once-in-a-lifetime wedding event? We knew we would need professional help to pull together a three-day celebration at a château in the Loire Valley, bringing together our nearest and dearest from across continents to finally say “I do.” From our very first meeting, there was an immediate rapport. We felt comfortable sharing our visions and addressing the gaps in our planning—something that can feel quite overwhelming! Leo made us feel at ease every step of the way. His experience and organization allowed us to enjoy our special event without any stress. The relationship we formed with Leo was open and honest, and we had a lot of fun along the way! Nothing was too much trouble for him; he consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with how everything was progressing. His hard work was reflected in the amazing wedding we had, and all our family and friends commented on how lovely Leo was. I particularly appreciated Leo’s compassion during a challenging moment when we had to replan a couple of our event days due to rain. He ensured that our Plan B was even better than Plan A and understood the importance of family, especially coming from different cultures and having blended families. We can’t thank Leo enough; our wedding far exceeded our expectations and has become an event everyone keeps talking about. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any couple looking for a passionate and dedicated event planner. We certainly experienced post-wedding blues because we miss talking to Leo!

Our overseas wedding celebrations were fairly complicated in that it involved several events over the course of a few days and it started out very much a DIY wedding in the French fairy tale chateau we had chosen. Leo came on board after we had picked the venue and was invaluable in sourcing all the local French suppliers – the band in particular were fantastic, advising on costs and liaising with vendors in the lead up as well as on the day. He was also a great bridge between me and the venue, especially when the venue owner was being difficult about accommodating some of our requests. Leo is Canadian and French and his ability to communicate with our local suppliers was critical to the success of our celebrations; he even translated for us during one of the ceremonies as the celebrant didn’t speak English. Leo understood my vision for the day and he and his assistant managed the events so that the big day was stress free, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. The weather was a potential issue at one point but he was able to pull the ceremony timing forward to ensure we were able to do everything we wanted outside before the rain came. The wedding dinner tables were laid out beautifully and he and his assistant personally ironed and placed all the napkins and tablecloths in the way I wanted. After the celebrations, Leo was instrumental in positively resolving a dispute with the venue over some alleged damage. Leo is charming and fun to have meetings with, and I appreciated all the extra effort he went to make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of.

Leo’s talents coupled with his never-ending support, good humor and positive attitude made our special day exactly what we dreamed. Leo and his team worked hard to bring our vision to life, with an outdoor cocktail and dinner in a beautifully decorated garden and around a pool area. Our guests raved about the all-white decor imagined by Leo, which was classy in daylight and magical at night. As a true Maestro, Leo managed and handled everything very successfully, including the food, bar, rental companies and staff, all with charm, a positive attitude and communicative happiness. The soirée culminated in a wonderful party with a truly magical atmosphere in an extraordinary southern French setting. Hiring Leo was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Lauren & Guy - Montreal, Canada
A year before our wedding, our parents gifted us a wedding planner, since we are both based in Australia and the wedding would take place in Montreal. We met Leo over Skype and we hit it off so well right from the start. His energy and enthusiasm made us feel so comfortable. We knew immediately that our wedding was definitely in great hands. We told him everything that we wanted for our Montreal wedding; the feel, the look, the colours and the budget. By sharing photos on Pinterest Leo was able to get a great idea on what we wanted and came up with any alternatives so that we kept to budget. He brought everything we ever could have wanted and more to the day. He is an amazing planner, great at stress management and most importantly a great listener and advisor. He knows what he’s doing and it showed in all the details and the amazing deals we got at our venue and flowers. He helped us with all our concerns and goes above and beyond for his clients. He always made sure we were happy and that we were in love with our decisions. Thank you, Leo, you gave us an amazing wedding that we will never forget. You had the best ideas and you definitely delivered at our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful. In the end it was an absolute dream come true. From the bottom of our hearts! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Lucy & Tory - Bordeaux
My partner and I always wanted to get married in a Chateau in France. We had planned to plan this ourselves and keep the budget relatively low, but we soon found out that it is very difficult to plan a wedding, nevermind a wedding in a different country. Thankfully we found Leo. He was everything we could have wished for and more. Leo was so organised, created a great design for the wedding, ensured all was properly planned and running smoothly, and thought of so many cost saving ideas we actually saved some even considering his fee. He was hands on throughout our journey and it meant that the stress of the wedding was taken away and we could enjoy the lead up to our big day. We had regular video calls in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding and Leo spent the days before our wedding at the venue making sure everything went according to plan. Leo even thought of things we never would have thought of and he helped us on the day by making food, setting up tables and making sure our guests were where they needed to be. We are so grateful for the help and our wedding was made all the more special with Leo organising it. We highly recommend his services, which he performs seamlessly while always being positive and making it a fun and creative journey. Leo is the best!

Many people underestimate the importance of a wedding planner. Although we’re both very organised people, Leo’s event planning experience really helped us prepare for our wedding months in advance so that we could really be in the moment, stress-free, on our big day. Leo has perfect attention to detail and was able to create exactly what we wanted for our wedding in every respect: atmosphere, theme, ambiance, decoration, timing, etc. Without him, there would have been many missteps and mistakes. Our guests were captivated by the day’s events orchestrated by Leo. He was always available, attentive and reassuring when we were stressed. You can trust Leo blindly, he is well versed in both French and English cultures, and as our wedding brought these two cultures together, Leo was the ideal person to provide this high quality service. We cannot recommend him highly enough, and we are sure that he will have the opportunity to help many other couples with their future events. Thank you Leo!
