Isabel & Victor, Extravaganza at Aynhoe Park, 2018

“The first time I met, Charlotte I knew that she was the right person to work with me on my wedding. My vision was completely unconventional, but she was there throughout the whole process, from finding special cookies to searching for neon lights on eBay, always finding solutions while sticking to our budget. Our wedding weekend was a dream: I didn't worry about a thing and all of our guests were so impressed with her and Emily: DREAM TEAM!

I would trust any party or event with La Fête!”

Christophe, Surprise Birthday Party Guest

“In February 2011, Charlotte took full charge of the organisation of my aunt Jeannette’s 90th birthday. 60 guests from all four corners of Europe were brought together by her in order to celebrate the event in a castle on the outskirts of Barcelona. Charlotte took care of everything and everyone; reservations, transport, catering, music, shows, photographer, videographer, fireworks, dedicated website, etc. Everything went to perfection; the 60 guests and the birthday girl have all kept an imperishable memory of the event.”

Charrlotte De'Davis, Founder of The BARDOU

“When I first met Charlotte, we immediately hit it off and I knew I wanted to work with her. Whilst organising The BARDOU Foundation’s International Women’s Day gala in March 2018, I saw Charlotte’s resourcefulness, efficiency, honesty and creativity. I knew that our event was in safe hands and I thoroughly enjoyed working with La Fête. I will be happily entrusting Charlotte with our upcoming events.”

“Charlotte’s involvement in The Glamour Beauty Festival has been truly invaluable. She took our specifications and requests and turned them into a reality, whilst still making sure to keep creativity and logic at the forefront of everything. Thanks to La Fête’s consultant role, the Glamour Beauty Festival is going from strength to strength. Glamour magazine and La Fête have so far had a wonderful collaboration and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

Michelle Russell, Events Director Glamour & GQ UK

“I have had the pleasure of working with La Fête on the last two editions of The Glamour Beauty Festival. Charlotte is incredibly efficient, quick thinking and charming. She is just as comfortable working in an office setting and attending supplier meetings, as she is on event days, making sure both brands and guests are happy, while simultaneously resolving a host of unexpected issues. Working with La Fête took a weight off my shoulders and as well as being extremely professional and trustworthy, Charlotte was a true delight to be around.”

Victoria & Richard, married in France in 2012

“Charlotte helped organise our wedding from start to finish, not missing a thing. We were married on a very small island on the west coast of France, where she was able to source hard to find items, which were integral to our wedding day. She took the stress out of the language barrier, effectively translating between myself and all of the vendors. She was extremely organised and helpful. I would definitely recommend Charlotte.”

Léa & Arthus, married in Tuscany in June 2018

“We very much enjoyed working with Charlotte. She constantly listened and heard our needs throughout the project and knew exactly how to stay focused, yet extremely flexible. We especially liked her attentiveness, people skills and patience, as well as her adaptability, involvement and reactivity, particularly on the big day.”

Ruth & Gerin, married in Tuscany in August 2016

“I don't know what we would've done without the guidance, support and loyalty provided by La Fête. We were never ones for wedding planners, thinking that my husband and myself could handle our event of 150 persons alone, but when we realized that we were both busy with our day jobs and the fact that we couldn't speak Italian (our wedding was held in Tuscany) we finally decided to take up the idea of having a wedding planner involved. Charlotte Ricard isn't just your typical wedding planner – she is literally someone that gets things done in order to not only satisfy the couple (us) but she also made sure that the entire lead up to the event would run smoothly, be it from a logistical stand-point to even those minute details that often the bride and groom might oversee. We can't recommend La Fête enough!”
