MERAKI MARIAGES
Because you deserve to be the guest of honour on your Big Day - not the one stressing over the details. Because your wedding is a fairy tale you'll only live once.
In Greek, Meraki means doing something with care, attention to detail and passion. We imagine, design and organise weddings for the non-traditional couple.
We pour our whole hearts into crafting a wedding that feels like you, and making your Pinterest dreams come true. We hold your hand throughout the entire wedding planning process, gently remind you to breathe before you see the love of your life and cheer you as you walk down the aisle.
Whether you're planning a three-day fiesta or a micro wedding, just need help fine-tuning your concept or don't even know where to start, we're here for you.
We work in Costa del Sol, France, Dubai and Tokyo. Talk to us to know how we can help!
OUR STORY
We became the wedding planners we wish we'd had. Born out of the frustration of a bride who thought all wedding planners were like in the movies (and found out they were not, in fact, Jennifer Lopez!) and the boredom of an event pro who wanted to do something more creative, Meraki Mariages is a full-service wedding planning agency - but without the luxury price tag.
In a previous life, we organised glamourous gala dinners, instigated nine-day-long festivals, staffed concerts (think, Andrea Bocelli or Rihanna), handled the crowds of F1 races in Abu Dhabi, directed million-dollar conferences, managed very high-end events (one of them involved privatizing the Atlantis hotel, setting up an ice rink on the ocean, and more than 20 artists including Mika, Neyo and Annie Lennox) and handled communications for government agencies. But that's stories for another day.
Today, we put our creativity, rigor, storytelling skills, negotiation skills and obsession for details at your service.
WHAT WE DO
At Meraki Mariages, we imagine, design and plan destination weddings with a soul in Costa del Sol, France, Dubai and Tokyo. Leveraging fifteen years of expertise in crafting large-scale events and high-end intimate gatherings, we offer full-service wedding design, planning and coordination for your big day. Obsessed about details, we bring in-depth local expertise, a network of talented providers & partners, creativity and professionalism. More than wedding planners, we become your wedding bestie and put our expertise, network, passion and experience at your service. Our biggest satisfaction is seeing our couples marvel at what we created together.
venue selection
Looking for a venue with a pool? Dreaming to get married under an old tree, or a view of the Mediterranean? We work with curated venues across each destination - and are always excited to go hunt for more. From romantic châteaux to beachside restaurants, typical Spanish cortijos, vineyards and grand haciendas, we help you find the perfect setting for your dream wedding.
wedding design
Whether you've already curated a Pinterest board or have a vague idea of what you want, we start where you are to craft a wedding that is uniquely yours. We ask the right questions to pull together a harmonious theme, colour palette, inspiration board and refine the concept until the last details - from lighting design to floral decor, tablescape, entertainment choices, kids' plays, and the finer details.
planning & coordination
Without careful planning, concepts are merely dreams. From the beginning of our journey together, we provide you with a realistic tailor-made budget according to your number of guests and expectations. We keep track of your budget, manage the timeline, coordinate with vendors throughout the entire wedding planning process until your wedding day to orchestrate a flawless day.
graphic design
If, like us, you love details, you will love our design services. Carefully chosen paper and stationery adds sophistication, harmony and elegance to your big day - it's the beginning and the continuation of your story. We work with talented illustrators, designers and our in-house team to design and produce personalised wedding newspapers, menus, name tags, seating plans, tote bags and merch.
you do the dreaming,
we do the planning.
let's chat, no strings attached!
