I have absolutely nothing but praise and admiration for our wedding planner Sarah Ball from Perfect Little Wedding (Marry me in France), who's organizational skills, communication and planning for our wedding at the Chateau De St Paul was first class. The team she recommended for our wedding in August 2025 were absolutely amazing, her attention to detail second to none, and I really could not have done it without her. I really did not want it to end. Sarah, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you are an absolute star !! Mand & Degs 16/08/25 xx read more

Started off extremely helpful and lovely. As soon as they discovered our budget was strict and not as big as I assume some other clients, we felt dismissed. Many mistakes on the wedding day and when they were thanked in our speeches , one of our guest went out to the get them to say did you want to come in as they want to say thank you. They refused. Never heard from them again. Emailed feedback. No response. read more

We had a truly horrific experience with Marry Me in France. I am still traumatized by the unnecessary anxiety and headaches we experienced as a result of their complacency, inattention, and lack of care. We chose to hire a planner so that we would be able to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment without being stressed. It is heartbreaking to me that we were not able to do so, thanks to the unprofessionalism and lack of preparedness demonstrated by our planner, who was *literally* nowhere to be found. Let me repeat. Our planner, Becky, was NOT AT THE WEDDING. Of course we read the contract, which said that in the unusual event the planner can't be there, a day-of coordinator is provided. (The contract didn't state that we had to pay this person extra on top of the planning fee - we did - but our complaint really isn't about the money.) However, we did not know that not only would the planner not be there in person, but that she would be out of the country and unreachable even by phone or email to do anything whatsoever, to answer any questions, or to communicate with the day-of coordinator to make sure she was executing her job appropriately. This is because she was *celebrating her birthday.* We got this deeply upsetting news in the form of a two-line email, less than two days before the wedding. We responded right away expressing our surprise and concern about what would happen if the coordinator needed help or had questions, but we never got a reply. Message received, loud and clear: MMIF did not care about our wedding and they do not take their profession or their clients seriously. Why would anyone hire a wedding planner who would choose to plan a vacation smack dab in the middle of wedding season, on exact day of the wedding of one of her clients, even though we had booked a full year in advance? It boggles the mind. It is beyond unprofessional. If for some reason you would like to hire a planner who will schedule her vacation for the day of your wedding like a passive-aggressive sorority sister, Becky at Marry Me In France is your gal! Furthermore, our coordinator was lovely and tried her best, but she was completely set up to fail by MMIF, who despite promising a seamless handoff, had not looped her into any of the conversations we had been having for months prior. She literally thought we were a different couple altogether when we walked into the venue. She didn't know any of the specifics about our schedule, our table plan, which vendors we were using, and what we had paid them to do. She was also French and didn't speak very much English. Again, not her fault, but this company's whole business is founded on the premise of hiring English-speaking planners for your French destination wedding to avoid miscommunications based on the language barrier. Much of our wedding day was spent scrambling to fix mistakes which could have easily been avoided. For example, we paid to have a full bar during cocktail hour, but the catering staff were only serving wine and beer. We had specifically discussed this with Becky just days before the wedding, but our day-of coordinator hadn't been debriefed, so there was no way for her to make sure things went according to plan on the day (i.e. the literal job of a wedding planner). Similarly, in the weeks leading up to the wedding, looking at the weather forecast, I asked Becky repeatedly if we needed to get into specific details for the rain back-up plan. She said no. Only on the morning of the wedding, hours before walking down the aisle, as I was in hair and makeup, did I learn from the coordinator that the barn could not accommodate our original table plan. I had to write A WHOLE NEW SEATING CHART ON MY WEDDING DAY, scribbling it on a piece of scrap paper, when the first one had taken me days to perfect (as anyone who has ever planned even a dinner party can attest). This could have been so, so easily avoided if only Becky had paid better attention to detail, been better prepared, and been in better communication with the venue and the coordinator. In short: if only she had done her job! Finally, when we tried to discuss this with the owner of the company, she was extremely dismissive. She refused to even speak to us until after the wedding season, and when she finally replied months later, she did not apologize, nor accept any responsibility whatsoever, but actively tried to turn the blame on us. All we really wanted was an acknowledgment and an apology. Instead, we were accused of being "too insistent," along with a condescending insinuation that it was our own fault for not understanding the weather. In a customer-service industry, where the client's happiness should be top priority, to be gaslighted by your own wedding planner is just beyond the pale. We know the difference between bad weather (case in point - I haven't even mentioned the freak hailstorm!) and bad planning. Unfortunately, we got both. read more

The team at Marry me in France are incredible. We were lucky enough to have Sarah Ball plan our dream wedding and when I say dream... it all ran so smoothly I couldn't believe it. I'm convinced Sarah even persuaded the hot August weather to cool down a bit for us! From phone calls to emails and video calls, the whole process was so smooth. My parents, initially worried about me getting married in France, fell in love with Sarah and our wonderful venue as soon as we all met. As a former editor of a wedding magazine, I had extra high standards and unusual requests that Sarah dealt with effortlessly. I also have specific dietary requirements that were met perfectly - our guests could not believe our gorgeous cake was gluten free! Sarah was the perfect matchmaker, finding the best suppliers who would help us to bring our dream wedding to life. And I think it says a lot when the suppliers speak so highly of your planner, too. Nothing was too much trouble for MMIF, they took all my stress and anxiety away. If you are thinking of getting married in France, MMIF are the only people worth talking to. I would not have coped or enjoyed our day as much without Sarah and the whole team at MMIF. The suppliers are fantastic, the venues so beautiful it's hard to choose which one to get married in and the customer service is five star. I never felt like I was a pain, in fact, Sarah made us feel like we were the only wedding she had to plan - and she had hundreds! Again, I can't recommend them enough - and their prices are so reasonable, it's a win-win! read more
