Yes. Your celebration can be small or large — from a milestone birthday meal or family party to a grand-scale gala ball.
It could be a lavish masked ball at a Royal Palace, or an intimate birthday meal prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.
Since our doors opened in 2016, La Fête has been synonymous with luxury.
We work with professional, high net-worth clients who expect exclusivity, discretion and impeccable service with their party planning from their designer.
Whether it’s a grand occasion or a small gathering, this will be a memorable occasion.

This is a fully streamlined party planning service which includes the creation of the design concept, venue consultancy, budget management, local supplier sourcing, managing and coordinating the multiple staff and contributors before, during and after the party itself.
We anticipate your needs, and the needs of your guests to ensure that the party planning process is as smoothly choreographed as the event itself.
The full details can be found in the La Fête brochure, although the following should give you an overview of what to expect:
It starts with your vision for the party – your expectations, likes and dislikes, passions and lifestyle. We’ll consult with you about venue options, the guest list, format, budget, security staff requirements, food, transport and entertainment.
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.
We’ll set a realistic budget and our team will keep this on track throughout. You’ll have the final say on spending — and continuous access to the budget sheet while we negotiate the best prices on premium quality vendors, staff, items and services.
Tasks and deadlines, so you’ll know what’s happening and when.
This is also where the La Fête team plans for the unexpected in order to head off problems before they occur.
Working to your brief, we curate a shortlist of exclusive luxury venues. We can also arrange visits for you — either in person or virtually. We look at interior floor plans and garden layouts, private aircraft or helicopter landing locations, privacy and security measures.
Every detail, from the location of each electrical point to your guests’ view of the majestic surroundings.
La Fête has a national and international base of rigorously vetted, top-quality local suppliers and service providers — from Michelin-starred chefs to renowned sommeliers. We know them well and trust them implicitly.
Suppliers will be recommended and asked to quote only if they are absolutely right for your event. All quotes will be submitted for consideration, and the final decision will be yours.
This is where the 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 event.
We plan out everything from the party stationery and invitation design to the guest goodie bags.
Just enjoy the occasion. I will be the supervisory point of contact — for suppliers, guests and hosts — acting with discretion, adaptability and efficiency to make your event a truly memorable, flawlessly executed experience.
Our team can organise everything from pre-event cocktails and spa appointments to gown and tuxedo fittings. We’ll help with stylists and photographers, travel and accommodation arrangements, hotel buy-outs and private jet transport.

I’m Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, the founder and creative director of La Fête.
After a decade in the world of luxury fashion, working with Dior and Tom Ford amongst others, I made the decision to follow my lifelong passion.
La Fête was born in 2016 because innovative ideas and a meticulous eye for detail provide the perfect foundation for wedding design, corporate event planning and creative consultancy.
The La Fête team brings a signature blend of creative flair and timeless elegance to every occasion — from a small and intimate family party in the John Soames Museum to an opulent large-scale wedding at a Venetian Palazzo.
I am both honoured and humbled to be the recipient of several industry accolades, including Best Wedding Planner at the BrideLux UK (now RSVP) Awards 2022. This is a testament to the hard work of my team, and the care we bring to each event, no matter its location or scale.
