My husband (French) and I (American) worked with Mélissa Wilpotte and her colleague, Fleur, on our June 2025 wedding at Château de L'Hospital in the Bordeaux region. My husband and I live in Germany, so it was especially important to us to work with a trustworthy and experienced planner. Mélissa came highly recommended by our venue as a professional planner with strong English proficiency and experience with multicultural and multi-lingual weddings. We experienced all of this and more during the 13+ months we worked together. (...) They work with WhatsApp and the Google Suite, making the planning process organized and easy-to-follow. We felt invited to contact them with our questions or ideas, and they were highly accessible. During the wedding weekend, they were professional, supportive, and discreet. The organization could not have felt smoother, and their attentiveness and expertise allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the day to the fullest. (...) Merci encore !!

I literally NEVER write reviews—this must be my first one—but for Melissa I have to make an exception, because she turned our wedding into a magical moment I will never forget. Melissa is so much more than a wedding planner: she’s a calming presence, steady, incredibly organized, and always attentive. She anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and thanks to her we were able to live this weekend to the fullest, without the slightest stress. Everything felt simple, seamless, perfect… because she was there. (...) Thank you again, Melissa, you made this day unforgettable ❤️

We had the most beautiful wedding & couldn’t have done it without Melissa and her team. She worked with us abroad for a year and a half. She is the best of the best her mom even sewed together my table linen :)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Mélissa for my wedding at Domaine des Etangs this spring, and I truly cannot imagine having done it without her. From the very beginning, Mélissa brought a sense of calm, warmth, and professionalism that immediately put me at ease. She not only took every ounce of stress off my shoulders during the planning process, but was also by my side for every single detail on the wedding day itself. She handled everything with such grace and care, allowing me to fully relax and be present throughout one of the most important days of my life. (...) She is a true gem and was such an integral part of what made our wedding so magical.

Melissa made wedding planning so easy all my friends commented how absurdly unstressed I was about planning an entire weekend of events overseas. Melissa is attentive, responsive, detail oriented and extremely well connected! All things that made planning our destination wedding from the US super easy and stress free. Early on, Melissa understood the atmosphere and experience we were aiming for and suggested vendors that fit that vision perfectly - all of whom exceeded our wildest expectations. We made lots of specialized requests and Melissa was able to find options for every single one. We cannot thank Melissa enough for all her guidance, patience and expertise. Truly a weekend we will never forget!

We are from New York and planning a wedding overseas can be challenging. Melissa is amazing. She is responsive and makes our wedding planning experience so fun and easy. She spends time to listen to your requests and make thing possible. She also goes extra miles to help. We really enjoyed working with her. Bordeaux has become our favorite destination.
