Working with La Fête took a weight off my shoulders
Private Client
In February 2011, Charlotte took full charge of the organisation of my aunt Jeannette’s 90th birthday. 60 guests from all four corners of Europe were brought together by her in order to celebrate the event in a castle on the outskirts of Barcelona. Charlotte took care of everything and everyone; reservations, transport, catering, music, shows, photographer, videographer, fireworks, dedicated website, etc. Everything went to perfection; the 60 guests and the birthday girl have all kept an imperishable memory of the event.
Manager, Global Partnerships, Accor Hotels
From the first initial meeting with Charlotte, we knew we were going to be in good hands – especially with our company being in another country from where the event was being planned and taking place. Charlotte and Emily are dedicated, hardworking, responsive and trustworthy. One of the best things about Charlotte is her ability to anticipate our needs and the needs of our guests. The event was wonderful and we would trust Charlotte and Emily to plan our events in the future.
Thank you again!

Resourceful, responsive and patient; three words that immediately come to mind when I think of La Fête. From the moment I spoke to Charlotte and Emily, I knew that they would be a dream to work with.
La Fête helped plan our Summer Party, and despite the weather, pulled off a fantastic event! They even introduced Megan, the photographer who captures every moment beautifully.
I could not recommend La Fête more for a stress-free event planning experience.
Thank you for everything, Charlotte!
Chairman, Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Abroad
I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte, on the last edition of Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Abroad magazine and I can say that she was an absolute dream to work with. Featured as our ‘expert’ wedding planner in the July/August issue, Charlotte shared with us her journey to success, the details of the wedding planning process, and what she advises aspiring event planners. We’ve had an amazing collaboration and I’m excited to work with her again in the future.

When I first met Charlotte, we immediately hit it off and I knew I wanted to work with her. Whilst organising The BARDOU Foundation’s International Women’s Day gala in March 2018, I saw Charlotte’s resourcefulness, efficiency, honesty and creativity. I knew that our event was in safe hands and I thoroughly enjoyed working with La Fête. I will be happily entrusting Charlotte with our upcoming events.
