What Makes Us Different?
Tailored Planning
Just like building a home, weddings vary in size, complexity, and style. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages or hourly billing. Instead, after an initial conversation with you, we prepare a personalized planning estimate based on your vision and our deep knowledge of what it takes to bring it to life.
Weddings typically require 15–40 hours of planning, and 6–17 hours on the wedding day. Our planning fees reflect this experience, dedication, and customization.
Photography Comes First
We only plan weddings where we also provide photography. Why? Because we believe your photographer should already know you, your story, and your timeline. Our in-house photography team is deeply involved in every aspect of the day — often also serving as your hosts or working alongside our videography partners to ensure seamless coverage.
From intimate ceremony to full-day coverage with additional pre- or post-wedding photo sessions, we create beautiful imagery that tells the full story of your celebration.
Videography Services
We partner with talented videographers who produce cinematic wedding films to capture the emotion and atmosphere of your big day.
The Ceremony
Every wedding includes a ceremony — symbolic or civil. Whether you’re dreaming of a mountainside exchange of vows, a lakeside setting, or a fairy-tale castle, we’ll help you find the perfect location. We also work with select hotels that offer ceremony and reception spaces under one roof.
We offer in-house, multilingual officiants who will help you craft a deeply personal and memorable ceremony. If you already have your own officiant, let us know — we’ll adjust your plan and pricing accordingly.
Ceremony pricing typically includes:
- Location rental
- Your officiant
- Setup and coordination staff
- Basic hardware (chairs/benches, podium)
Optional enhancements include music, floral decorations, seating rentals, aperitifs, and indoor backup locations for inclement weather.

In house we are your local symbolic marriage officiant. We will send you many samples of real wedding ceremony scripts to review. You will prepare your own notes of important information you wish to include and we will collaborate your personal meaningful symbolic ceremony for your wedding day.
What is the difference of a symbolic and civil marriage ceremony in Switzerland ?
The civil marriage is binding to law. Please look at this page for further information of what civil marriage is in Switzerland . We will assist you to obtain a legal marriage license valid in your home country.

The Reception
Today’s destination weddings come in all shapes and sizes. Some couples choose a shorter celebration with a midday lunch, allowing more time to explore the Swiss Alps with loved ones. Others dream of an elegant evening gala.
From rustic alpine huts to 5-star luxury hotels, we help you choose the perfect venue to match your style and energy.
Reception planning includes considerations such as:
- Venue rental
- Catering and beverages
- Entertainment
- Floral and space decoration
- Layout and capacity (especially if you want to include dancing!)

What is the disadvantage of planning your own wedding.
Neither is universally better. The real question is:
Do you want to plan and manage the wedding and on your wedding day ” work”, or do you want to experience the wedding?
Why a Wedding Planner makes sense
There are tons of online resources exist.
You can find checklists, timelines, budget calculators, vendor reviews, templates, and DIY guides for almost every aspect of a wedding. Hiring separate services and hoping your day will flow is not realistic. For being one of the most important days of your life, hiring services is just part of executing your once in a life time Switzerland Destination Wedding.
- If you plan your own wedding, you will have to WORK on your wedding day. You will need to ensure all on line hired services show up. This has happened that we are hired a photographers only and things go wrong on the wedding they have planned. The horse and carriage does not show up. What you thought you ordered is not what is should be. Your time line does not work out in a flow. As you do not know personally any of the hired service vendors, communication is not as easy. Unseen costs add to your day. Flow is perhaps one of the biggest issues. Just because you hired individual services, does not make your wedding. We know everyone, have experience with weddings so it is easy for us to handle hiring, payments, scheduling and on the day execution. If you are trying to save money to plan your own, you will find it takes many more hours to research from scratch. We do everything in for you under one person to talk with. Easy, effective and cost savings.
