Meet the experts
The France-based wedding professionals who contribute their expertise to our planning guides and help couples plan with confidence.
Planning a wedding in France from another country means trusting people you haven't met, in a language you may not speak, with traditions that work a little differently to what you're used to. The right professionals make that gap disappear.
The experts on this page are the people we turn to for the advice in our planning guides. They contribute because they genuinely want couples to arrive prepared. Each profile links to their FWS listing, the articles they've contributed to, and real weddings where you can see their work. To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit our about page.
