Plan your Wedding in Monaco
2010-07-19 11:12
No question that the
wedding of Grace Kelly to Prince Rainier of Monaco was one of the greatest events ever witnessed in Monaco. So spectacular, in fact, that it became known as The Wedding of the Century. And ever since 1956, thousands of couples have dreamed of emulating Princess Grace and Prince Rainier's fairytale romance. But how to start?
Buying a property and getting married are renowned for being two of the most stressful activities that anyone ever faces. At important life-changing times like these, the services of a consultant or manager can take a great deal of that pressure off a client, allowing them the freedom to get on with their lives. Of course, services like these come at a price, but the real value for money lies in someone else shouldering your burdens.
Claire Jollain has many years' experience in such matters. Born on the French Riviera, she worked for many years in the events market, specifically for the
Cannes Film Festival and the
Monaco Grand Prix, and knows the area like the back of her hand.
Weddings, birthday parties, product launches and other key events are all part of what makes this part of the world so exciting - but someone has to organize these things, so she has set up her own company,
Events & Home Consulting specifically to help.
A typical wedding in Monaco
At the start of June, Claire and her team organized a wedding and reception for 180 guests, mainly from Paris, Africa and the Emirates. The wedding reception - simply and romantically decorated with white roses, took place on the roof terrace of a prestigious Monaco hotel, with cocktails next to the the swimming pool, all set against the beautiful vista of the Mediterranean. The impressive catering and decor was all the result of Claire and her team's attention to detail - matching the dinner service to the colours of the wedding dress, for example, is something quite simple, but beautifully effective.
Ultimately, planning a weding is always something over which you will want to have personal control, and with all such consultants they are there to help finesse your own sense of style and meet your wishes and dreams, rather than taking over. But there's no question that for that special day, you'll come to it more relaxed knowing the arrangements are in expert hands!
