about us
MERAKI [may·rah·kee]
Greek (v.) – Doing something with love, creativity and care; to put something of yourself into your work.
Meraki Mariages is for couples who dare to dream differently. For those who value meaning over spectacle, creativity over convention, and ease over excess. From intimate micro-weddings to exuberant multi-day extravaganzas, we imagine, design and organize unique celebrations.
Meraki Mariages is for those who want something that has never been and will never be again. With us, no copy-paste, no reproduction, no shortcut. From the initial creative proposal to the D-day, our approach is entirely tailor-made. We work with you to shape and refine a vision that is unmistakenly yours.
Planning becomes quiet direction: structure, technique, logistics and timing carefully considered so the experience feels held and effortless. Design unfolds as an experience – moments, atmospheres and details curated to spark joy, ignite imagination and leave a lasting imprint.
For us, planning and designing a wedding is not about following trends or conventions. It’s about trust, collaboration and intention. It’s about turning long-held dreams into reality, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

what we do
Leveraging fifteen years of expertise in crafting large-scale events and bespoke intimate gatherings, we imagine, design and plan (destination) weddings with a soul, where every detail is intentionally curated. We accompany you through every step, gently remind you to breathe before you see the love of your life and anticipate your needs. More than wedding planners, we are the maestros orchestrating the best day of your life- and the most beautiful event your guests ever attended.
Hi! I'm Charlotte, the founder and creative director of Meraki Mariages.
Originally French, I've lived in the United Arab Emirates for nearly twenty years (way before the influencers!) and traveled more than thirty countries... which explains our anchor destinations: in each of them, I bring an expert network of trusted partners and unparalleled access to anything you may need, from last-minute entries to some of Paris' museums to private yachts in Marbella or hidden gems in Dubai.
In a previous life, I 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, decorating the entire place with flowers flown from Japan and more than 20 performing artists including Mika, Neyo and Annie Lennox) and handled communications for government agencies in Saudi Arabia. But that's stories for another day.
Today, I put my creativity, network, rigor and professionalism at your service. Your wedding is a day that can never be relived our reproduced - I respect and honour the privilege of helping you in this incredible journey.
I can't wait to hear about your love story and your dreams,
Charlotte Chédeville
our story
You do the dreaming,
we do the rest.
testimonials
Let's chat, no strings attached!
An initial consultation is the best way to get to know each other. As your wedding planner and / or designer (you can choose if we'd do both or either!) will orchestrate the most important day of your life, its only natural you would want to ensure you get along. We propose a free 30-minute consultation call, no strings attached, to get to know each other, talk about your vision and answer all your questions. Whether or not we choose to make things official afterwards is up to you!
