Portrait

Marie-Laure Giacomelli,

My name is Marie-Laure, founder of By Giacomelli, I accompany you for your weddings in France and Italy and love to create authentic, elegant and timeless celebrations with couples. To adapt to the needs of all couples, I have created two distinct brands: Giacomelli Weddings and Kiss & Toast.

Giacomelli Weddings offers tailor-made services for couples who wish to get married in France as well as in Italy. From the consultation appointment - a personalized session to discuss your ideas and get professional advice, to the complete organization of your wedding , we will imagine and co-create your wedding so that I can bring your vision to life. In order to best support each couple, I limit myself to 10 clients for the organizations at Giacomelli Weddings.

With 9 years of experience in wedding planning and 6 years of entrepreneurship, I wanted to create an innovative offer, inspired by the needs of my clients: Kiss & Toast's wedding collections . A turnkey wedding planning service while retaining the personalization and service of a traditional wedding planner. This brand new brand and service, born at the end of 2023, are aimed at couples who want to focus on the essentials: conviviality, experience and the present moment, thanks to a clear offer and a team of experienced professionals. For the moment, the Kiss & Toast Collections are offered in Provence, but new destinations should arrive soon.

I am trilingual , speaking French, English and Italian , which allows me to accompany couples from all over the world to discover the two countries dear to their hearts: France and Italy , with the aim of creating a real cultural mix between the traditions of the couple associated with notes of French elegance or Italian dolce vita, between tradition and modernity.

At By Giacomelli, trust, authenticity and expertise guide every decision. Love and joy shared with your loved ones are at the heart of every wedding, at Giacomelli Weddings as well as at Kiss & Toast.

With experience gained over the years, I have been able to create lasting connections and a network of trusted partners for the success of your event.

Whether you are seduced by the poetic elegance of By Giacomelli or by the sparkling energy of Kiss & Toast, I am here to listen to you and discuss your beautiful project. Contact me now to discuss your vision and start bringing your dream to life.

Experience

My journey in the world of weddings began well before the creation of By Giacomelli. Having graduated in 2014 in event management and luxury hospitality , I had the chance to get my start at Cheval Blanc Courchevel and then at Château de Bagnols, where I was later hired as a salesperson and event manager. These experiences sharpened my sense of organization and detail in terms of events. It was at Château de Bagnols that I discovered weddings and became passionate about this unique and emotional event.

Before launching Giacomelli Weddings, I trained at EFMM , the École de Formation des Métiers du Mariage, where I am now a trainer , sharing my experience with the new generation of wedding planners and ceremony officiants. The creation of my agency in 2017 marked the beginning of an exciting entrepreneurial adventure. First launched as a micro-enterprise, the agency evolved into a company in 2022 , reflecting growth and success, and thus becoming By Giacomelli, the entity under which two beautiful brands live: Giacomelli Weddings and Kiss & Toast. I now combine my love for authenticity and elegance with a tailor-made approach at Giacomelli Weddings and an innovative one at Kiss & Toast, always with the same goal of making each couple's big day unforgettable.

My desire for excellence pushes me to always continue my training to improve the service offered to my clients. This also led me to participate in masterclasses with Têtes Chercheuses in 2017, as well as introductory workshops in floral design with Florésie in 2020 and wedding design with Emily Alarcon in 2021. These cross-disciplinary training courses enrich my know-how, allowing me to offer complete and personalized support to my brides and grooms.

Each year, each wedding, each training course taken, contributes to refining my expertise and broadening the range of services offered to the couples who trust me.
