Organization as a way of life.

 

Let me tell you a little bit more about myself before I dive into your story. To make a long story short, I’m 40 years old (I’ll stop counting there!), I’m married, and we have four children… a busy life where we’re never bored!

As you can imagine, when planning your events, I pay special attention to the children to ensure they have a great time too (with a dedicated space, age-appropriate activities, and attentive staff); after all, this also gives their parents peace of mind! 

It’s just my nature to plan everything and make lists so I don’t forget a thing. There’s no way I’d ever go on vacation blindly, with just a backpack on my back! I need to check everything off the list before I leave and put together a great itinerary (sights, restaurants, routes, insider tips…). I enjoy the preparation just as much as the trip itself! Well, it’s the same for your events—I pay special attention to planning, which has to be perfect! And I can tell you that I absolutely loved planning my own wedding, never imagining that one day I’d turn it into my career! 

So how did I end up becoming a wedding planner?

It’s true that nothing really pointed me toward this kind of career… I worked for 15 years in child protection, and I loved it. The noble cause, of course, the intensity of the work, managing emergency and highly complex situations (it’s not so different from marriage, after all!). However, I could no longer condone the loss of humanity and the poor quality of the work… It went against my values, as I’m someone who advocates adapting to needs and striving for excellence. So a fairly typical path began: a skills assessment, opening up to new possibilities (entrepreneurship, of course, given my excessive independence and organizational skills), and then the discovery of an unknown world: event planning, and specifically weddings. And I loved it! 

After completing a few months of training at theInternational Wedding Institute to become a certified wedding planner, I was ready to get started! La Clé de Vos Bonheurs was founded in 2023 to help you with all your events in the Drôme region and the surrounding area (weddings, birthdays, baptisms, corporate events, and more).

I’m naturally curious and energetic, and I’m always brimming with new ideas. I love learning, exploring, and developing my skills so I can offer you the very best. 

My favorite quote?“There are no problems, only solutions,” by André GIDE. I firmly believe in this approach, which guides the way I work and collaborate with you: positivity, problem-solving, and effective time and stress management are deeply ingrained in me. These are essential qualities for ensuring the smooth organization of your events. 

My new challenge? Expanding my client base to include international clients. Why? Because I’ve always loved foreign languages—in fact, I started my studies with a two-year degree in English and Italian. So it makes perfect sense to combine this passion with my work and help international couples tie the knot in our beautiful region, with its gentle Provençal charm.

The Drôme: My Region for Your Events

Born and raised in the Drôme, and with my heart still there, I can’t imagine living anywhere else… I split my time between Northern Drôme (Romans-sur-Isère and Valence) and the Drôme Provençale (Montélimar and Grignan), where I’m lucky enough to have a family home that smells of lavender, olive trees, and sunshine! 

So I completely understand why you’d want to come here to get married or celebrate a special occasion! The Drôme is full of stunning views that provide a magnificent backdrop for your wedding (from the Vercors mountains to the lavender fields of Provence) and is home to many exceptional venues.

Local specialties and products will enhance your events and delight your guests’ taste buds: wine, Clairette, ravioli, nougat, seasonal fruits and vegetables, honey, olives…

I really enjoy visiting these places and meeting the people who work there to get to know them before introducing them to you. 

But don't worry, people of the Ardèche—I'll cross the Rhône without any trouble!

The 3 pillars that define me as a wedding planner in the Drôme

  • Effectiveness

I bring your ideas to life with remarkable efficiency—from civil, secular, or religious ceremonies to the reception, catered meals, and the evening dance, as well as entertainment and decorations tailored to your style. I’ll share my ideas and suggestions with you and help you explore other possibilities. You’ll appreciate my responsiveness and availability. 

  • Expertise

I first developed this skill through my training as a wedding planner and the tools (wedding budget management, guest lists, tracking logs, etc.) that I created to carefully monitor each of your event projects. It has since grown thanks to my in-depth knowledge of vendors (caterers, DJs, photographers, decorators, florists, etc.). My network includes hundreds of qualified professionals ready to make your events truly special.

  • Discretion

I make it a point of honor to respect your privacy and to build a close relationship without ever being intrusive. On the day of your event, I work with the utmost discretion.

3 things you should know about me, just for fun!

  • I have a real sweet tooth—I never say no to pastries or chocolate! Or to coffee, for that matter!
  • Every year, during a weekend in November, my family and I harvest our olives and turn them into oil. What a treat!
  • I love antique wooden furniture. In fact, I’ve restored quite a few pieces. I’m not afraid of hard work or dust!
