Aurélie est une professionnelle compétente, pleine d’énergie et très efficace ! C’est toujours un plaisir de travailler avec elle

Aurelie is everything we could have hoped for in a wedding planner--and more! She is extremely good at what she does--and has a wonderful way of pulling everything together seamlessly with all her hard work behind the scenes, while putting you at ease about the big day. She certainly went above and beyond for us, and was both excellent at listening to our wishes and skilled at redirecting us when necessary given her experience. Hire her and you and your big day will be in the best of hands. Thank you Aurelie for our fairytale experience!

Aurelie helped us organize a beautiful wedding in France. She’s easy going and very responsive. She ensured everything went smoothly and was accommodating to our ever changing guest count.

You need to hire Aurelie at Peony Moments ASAP to help with your wedding or any big event. She is truly amazing at what she does and a joy to work with. We had originally planned our wedding for May 2020 at the Chateau de Varennes in Burgundy, France and had initially been assigned a different wedding planner. Because of the pandemic, we had to postpone the wedding twice and were later lucky enough to be assigned to Peony Moments for wedding planning help.We had such a stressful time due to the pandemic, but once we had Peony Moments on our team for our final date, things just started clicking into place. She helped us redesign the décor, make smart suggestions based on our reduced guestlist and goals, and served as a fantastic go between/translator with our other vendors who spoke limited English. I appreciated how detail oriented she was and how patient she was with our endless questions on what's app. She also had an assistant / venue coordinator Alex who was awesome to work with too.I'm not sure how she juggles all these weddings! We were very understanding that she'd be preoccupied with all the weddings that were postponed before us but she still made time to update us and go through our detailed timelines/spreadsheets on Google several weeks before the wedding. The fact that she was tech savvy enough to communicate with us on our cloud documents was incredibly helpful since we were in different time zones and both my husband and I work a ton. She also connected so well with us on our vision and was able to find a florist and rentals vendor who both did an amazing job executing our modern and romantic look for a price that was comfortable for us.As we approached the wedding date, Aurelie was in constant communication with us and was so kind in directly helping many of my guests with transportation and check ins (note we had a small group of about 30 guests). For example, one of our guests could have been stranded due to a mix up on their end about their transportation, but she was on the phone with several different taxi cabs working out a way to help this guest for a good 30-45 minutes. Aurelie and her assistant Alex did an incredible job setting up our welcome dinner, pool party, rehearsal dinner and just answering any questions about the chateau from our guests.On the actual wedding date, I was floored by how well she coordinated and executed everything just as we had planned. She got all our name cards right (we had a unique set up), everyone's dietary needs were carefully followed, and the whole ceremony and reception was more than we could have hoped for. Weddings are super stressful for the bride and groom and the fact that Aurelie handled our stress so well really speaks to her ability as an event planner. She was always respectful and was so good at talking to me when I had a small moment of indecisiveness about where to have the ceremony (inside or outside due to the chance of rain - glad she talked me into having the ceremony inside!). Most importantly, Aurelie was fun to hang out with, quick with suggestions, and so incredibly organized. We are beyond lucky to have had her work with us on our special day!Thank you again for everything Peony Moments!

We finally had our June wedding at Chateau de Varennes this summer after a 2-year delay due to Covid. Aurelie has been our lifeline throughout these two years since the first day we met her at the venue. She gave us the grand tour of the Chateau, and that's a big reason why we chose it for our big day. We shopped around with different planners, but none compared to Aurelie. A million thanks and kisses to her! She's a total rockstar and the absolute best wedding planner we could've hoped for.Even with our crazy requests, Aurelie always delivered and went above and beyond our wildest dreams. She's super prompt with her replies, always up for a call, and would do anything for her brides. The planning and communication rollercoaster of the past two years has come to an end, and it feels kinda empty without our daily chats. We'll definitely miss her!Katrina&Guillaume

We had Aurelie help us plan our wedding in the South of France this summer. She was absolutely amazing during the whole process and completely on top of everything, not only in preparation of the day but also the whole weekend. Everything went smoothly and she helped so much with additional details that we didn't think about, which made the day that bit more special. She took out all the stress and admin that it really allowed us to be completely stress free. She was available virtually any time and day we needed to speak to her and really worked around our schedule. I don't know what we would have done without here and truly grateful for her and her team!! Lucy x

Where do I begin…..Aurelie is literally the best at what she does! We can not recommend her highly enough!We got married at the beautiful Chateau de Varennes in August. We were initially assigned a different planner but after 3 date changes due to the pandemic Aurelie took over and we couldn’t have been happier.On the run up to the wedding she was always available on whats app for any questions and we had regular zoom meetings to go over all the details.With a newborn baby and living in the UK we could never have organised this wedding without the amazing Aurelie. She planned the wedding and subsequent days to perfection.From the moment we arrived we felt completely at ease, Aurelie and the staff at Chateau de Varennes were so welcoming. We felt like we could just relax and enjoy the whole experience from the get go.The day of the wedding went like clockwork. Aurelie dealt with all the vendors, we didn’t have to do anything. It was the most stress free day. Everything was absolutely perfect!Finally on a personal note, Aurelie is such a warm, friendly person, and we are so glad to have met her and had the privilege of her expertise on one of the most important days of our lives. She was so kind and helpful with our 4 month old and still checks in on how we are all doing. You can tell she is really passionate about her job and genuinely cares about every couple she works with. She makes you feel special, which is all anyone could ask for on their wedding day.

As a wedding vendor, my team and I had the pleasure to work with Aurelie these past months.She is a brilliant wedding planner. She knows how to support your vision and make it a reality. She knows how to build great teams and where to find what you need or the information you need. I don’t know how but she does.Aurélie is very thoughtful and kind. We felt very comfortable working with her and the videos we made were great as a result.If you need a planner for your destination wedding in France, do not hesitate to book a consultation with her.Gregoire, Defrance Productions

We truly cannot say enough good things about Aurelie (as both a person and a wedding planner!). We worked closely with Aurelie for over a year to plan not only our wedding, but three and half days of meals, activities, accommodations and transportation for the 60 guests we had flying into France from Canada. We exchanged many emails, sat on hours long video calls and in the weeks leading up to the wedding messaged constantly to go over details big and small to ensure that our guests would have everything they needed and that we would be able to relax and enjoy our wedding week. Throughout every step Aurelie was there, always happy to chat, give helpful advice and point us in the right direction. She went above and beyond what I would expect from a wedding planner. There was not an aspect of our wedding that she didn't play a critical part in coordinating. We could not have pulled off such an epic party without her.From the moment we arrived to the day we left, our wedding was truly magical and a huge part of that is because we had Aurelie looking after all of the details, big and small. We had the most delicious food, our guests (many of whom had not been able to travel for the 2 years prior) were thrilled to be there and we got to enjoy every single aspect of each day. From the welcome dinner, which Aurelie coordinated to perfection and even designed beautifully as a surprise to us, to the day of the wedding, when the entire staff at the Chateau and those who came in as external vendors (all of whom were suggested to us by Aurelie!) worked tirelessly to make everything perfect. To the next day, when we walked into a red and white themed (for Canada!) mimosa brunch (again, a thoughtful surprise from Aurelie who I don't think slept all week!) and spent the day clay shooting, sitting by the pool, enjoying delicious charcuterie and wine and reminiscing about the absolutely perfect wedding the day before.We could write a novel about all of the ways Aurelie made our wedding a once in a lifetime experience for us and our friends. Every single guest came up to us to comment on how dedicated she was throughout the week. They couldn't believe the lengths she went to in order to make everything perfect. We can't thank her enough for giving us some of the happiest memories of our life. And we are lucky to now call her a friend! She is truly one of a kind!
