La Fête are renowned for creating exclusive, luxury Spanish weddings.
We are an award-winning team of international wedding planners and designers.
We work with professional, ultra high net-worth couples who expect nothing less than perfection.
They come to us for our blend of impeccable service, discreet elegance and unique personalisation.
Your Spanish wedding dream has no limits.
From a multi-day, multi-location wedding in historic Seville to a 5-star hotel buy-out in the rolling hills of Andalusia, we bring the vision to life in every sumptuous detail.
This will be an unforgettable experience – the ultimate in luxury, yet a deeply personal and romantic reflection of your story as a couple.
At La Fête, we’ve developed our own signature service.
It’s collaborative and transparent, designed to make the planning and design process as joyfully seamless as the wedding itself.
As your personal wedding planner, I’m here to guide you.
I choreograph every detail – from the brief, the design presentation and layout zoning to orchestrating the many staff and contributors to the wedding itself.
I am multilingual – fluent in Spanish, French, Italian and English, with a deep personal knowledge of Spain’s cultural nuances, cuisine, varied landscapes and its wealth of beautiful locations.

Throughout the planning and design process, we work closely with both of you to create a wedding which reflects your unique relationship.
While we advise and guide throughout, this is your day.

Nothing is left to chance.
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 you as a couple — your likes and dislikes, passions and lifestyle.
We’ll discuss your venue requirements, the guest list, the budget and your vision. It’s our job to guide and advise you.
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 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.
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.
Working to your brief, we curate a shortlist of venues in Spain 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.
La Fête has a national and international base of rigorously vetted, top-quality Spanish 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
