LUXURY JEWISH WEDDINGS, PLANNED AND DESIGNED TO PERFECTION

Bridelux UK Awards 2022 Winner

The team at La Fête are award-winning specialists at planning and designing Jewish weddings, both in the UK and across Mediterranean Europe.  

We work with professional, high net-worth couples who expect exclusivity, discretion, impeccable service, knowledge and respect for culture, customs and tradition. 

We’re known for our meticulous eye for detail — the high-end, opulent elegance that we bring to Jewish weddings. Above all, however, we get to know you as a couple. 

Your wedding can be strictly Orthodox with Beth Din catering, Conservative, Reform or “Jew-ish” informal. The ketubah can be traditional, secular, interfaith or adapted to reflect your values. 

Whether it’s luxuriously extravagant or small and intimate, this simcha will be uniquely yours. We put our hearts into creating a wedding to remember — lifelong memories of joy and love which are as precious as your relationship.

Our Signature Planning Service for Jewish Weddings

At La Fête, we’ve developed our own award-winning signature service for Jewish weddings. It’s designed to go above and beyond, to meet your expectations and then exceed them.  

I collaborate with you throughout, and you will be involved in every decision. As your personal wedding planner, it’s my role to make this a seamless experience — from the brief and design presentation to the smoothly flowing choreography of the wedding day itself.

I listen to your wishes, provide expert guidance and orchestrate the multiple staff and security personnel, musical artists, chefs and high-quality contributors who will transform your vision into reality.

Planning your Perfect Wedding

The full details can be found in the La Fête brochure, although the following should give you an overview of what to expect:

Your Vision

It starts with you as a couple — your likes and dislikes, passions and lifestyle. We’ll discuss your venue requirements, your choice of the guest list, the budget and your vision. Your options are limitless.

For example, we can coordinate private jets, a fleet of car services, artists’ contracts and greenrooms, security staff for V-VIPs, protocol officers and private protection officers.

Expenditure Planning

We’ll set a  budget and I’ll keep this on track throughout. You’ll have the final say on spending — and continuous access to the budget sheet while I negotiate the best prices on the highest quality foods, chefs, items and services, musicians and artists.

The budget sheet will be in your own currency as well as Euros. You’ll know exactly where the money is going, and the reasons why.

Timeline Creation

Tasks and deadlines, so you’ll know what’s happening and when. This is also where I and the team plan for the unexpected in order to head off problems before they happen.

Venue Sourcing

Working to your brief, we curate a shortlist of venues in France and can arrange visits for you — either in person or virtually. We look at garden layouts and interior floor plans, private aircraft or helicopter landing locations, privacy and security measures.

Every detail, from the location of each electrical point to your own view of the spectacular surrounding landscapes.

Supplier Sourcing

La Fête has a national and international base of rigorously vetted, top-quality French suppliers and local vendors. We know them well and trust them implicitly.

A supplier will be recommended only if they are suitable for you, and it makes sense for you to work with them. Again, you have the final say on which supplier is chosen for your wedding.

Design Presentation

This is where your vision comes to life. Our designer presents you with a detailed plan of the colours and designs, locations, banqueting areas and zoning layouts for each element of your wedding. Together, we’ll refine it to perfection.

Wedding Day Management

Just enjoy yourselves. I will be the supervisory point of contact — for suppliers, guests and yourselves — acting with discretion, adaptability and efficiency to make your wedding a truly exceptional, unforgettably romantic experience.

Above and Beyond…

Myself and the team can organise cocktails and brunches, schedule spa appointments, coordinate gown and tuxedo fittings, arrange travel and accommodation, limousines, security staff, 5-star venue buy-outs and private jet transport.

FAQs

We’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions here. If you can’t see the answer you need, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’ll be happy to help.

How involved will we be? Will we have control over the decision-making?

This wedding is entirely your own, a celebration which reflects your unique relationship, so you’ll be involved throughout. You will have continuous access to the budget sheet, and all decisions will be yours.

We’d like a religious marriage ceremony. Can you help us with this?

Yes. If you would like a religious marriage ceremony, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Depending on where you wish to marry, whether it’s in the UK or in Mediterranean Europe, there may be specific legal requirements. Your personal wedding designer can provide all the advice you need, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

What makes you different from other wedding planners?

At La Fête, we specialise in high-end weddings for couples who expect nuanced, luxurious elegance and impeccable service. 

Your wedding planner and creative designer, Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, is multilingual and multicultural. She speaks four languages fluently — French, Italian, Spanish and English. Whether you wish to marry in France, Italy, Spain or the UK, she has a deep, personal understanding of the cultures and traditions of each country.  

We also offer an extraordinary level of personalisation, because the more we understand you as a couple, the more exceptional your celebration will be.

Can we get married legally abroad?

Yes, you can legally get married abroad, provided you follow the laws and processes of the country where you wish to marry. 

Your personal wedding designer and planner, Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, is fully up to speed with the laws and processes of our destination wedding countries — France, Spain and Italy. She will explain the process, provide advice and make all the necessary arrangements to ensure your marriage is legally recognised abroad and in the UK. 

Can you help us design and plan our LGBTQIA+ wedding?

Yes. It would be an honour. 

When it comes to your wedding, dream big because there are no limits. You have complete freedom to let your imagination run wild. Whatever your vision for this celebration, we will design a wedding which becomes a lifelong treasured memory.

My partner and I are each from different cultures. How will you represent this when we get married?

At La Fête, we specialise in fusion weddings — deeply personalised celebrations which honour each family’s cultural heritage, as well as your relationship with each other. 

Your wedding planner and designer has a blend of French and English heritage, grew up in Switzerland and later married her Spanish husband in France. Multiculturalism is part of her DNA.

I have no idea what style of wedding I’d like. Can you guide me?

Yes, of course. Many of our couples come to us with a blank canvas regarding their wedding celebration. 

If you have no clear vision for the day, please don’t worry. As wedding designers, it’s our role to help you create and define the vision, then bring it to life.
