We had the party of a lifetime organised by Kasia at Chateau de Villette outside of Paris. From the start of the party planning process Kasia was hands on, professional, accommodating and calm. We had people coming from around the world and she was able to manage the logistics of the ( 2 day) party in a way that I can only describe as phenomenal. The caters, the venue, the band, the florals were all exceptionally executed. I would not hesitate to recommend Kasia to anyone planning a wedding or an event in Paris.
Thank you for such a beautiful memory. The attention to detail, the photographer, the make up artist, the magic in your ceremony (at the Ritz Paris Hotel). The poem touched my soul.
Thanks again for such a beautiful day! We can’t thank you enough.
Kind Regards,
Michelle September 2024
Kasia,
We worked with Kasia of French Grey Events for our November 2023 Paris wedding and couldn’t recommend her more!
We were based in New York and she worked with our time difference and distance. From the first call to on the day execution, Kasia was super organized, extremely thoughtful and brought a wonderful energy! She knows the market and brought our vision to life with wonderful suppliers and suggestions. On the day Kasia and her team made sure it was seamless and stress free for us all, despite some day-of change of plan.
As our wedding plans evolved (the size of the event doubled to 160 guests) Kasia was a cool head and dealt with it all with ease. She is also extremeky kind and great fun to work with! Don’t hesitate to work with French Grey Events!

” Planning a wedding from the other side of the world, Alaska, could have been very stressful, but Kasia took all of that stress away. Every detail of our elopement day in Paris was perfect! Kasia is simply exceptional in every way! Immediately upon meeting her she felt like an old friend.
Our wedding day wasn’t just stress free, it was so much fun! Kasia works with incredibly talented professionals. Anissa arrived early for hair and makeup, and executed my vision beyond what I could have imagined! When we were finished I walked downstairs completely relaxed and at ease. Our photographer, Ian, continued the mood with his genuine, fun, and easy going personality. Knowing we were in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy every minute of our magical day without a care in the world!
After finishing our photos at the Shangri-La Hotel we walked out to a special surprise from Kasia and were whisked away to Jardin du Luxembourg for our ceremony. Kasia’s warmth and kindness comes through in every word she says. She made our ceremony very special and intimate.
If you are considering a wedding or elopement in Paris, Kasia and French Grey Events will make all your dreams come true! We will be forever grateful to her and can’t wait to see her again when we return to Paris for our vow renewals!! 🙂
Merci Beaucoup for everything! DJ & Stephanie

” As a bride trying to plan a wedding in Paris all the way from California, it was very important for me to have a wedding planner that was knowledgeable about Paris, its venues and different vendors, all while understanding the tastes and preferences of an American client. I’ve been researching Paris wedding planners for years and French Grey Events has always caught my eye!
From our very first FaceTime session, I felt very comfortable with Kasia as she was so warm, kind and knowledgeable! I also really appreciated how considerate she was to our budget and made sure that everything she recommended was reasonable to our budget and needs. She truly has her clients’ back and we really appreciated that, and would vouch for us when working with vendors.
Fast forward to our wedding day (at Chateau de Santeny), Kasia and her team styled the wedding so beautifully and made sure the day ran smoothly for our wedding of 84 guests! They were so incredibly professional and I cannot thank Kasia and her team enough for making our wedding dreams a reality. Kasia has incredible taste, gave great advice with her many years of experience, and is so incredibly kind and cool. It truly is like planning a wedding with a friend and we could not imagine our wedding day without her. We highly recommend Kasia and French Grey Events for your elopement or wedding day planning!

” I can’t speak highly enough about Kasia and French Grey Events! We reached out rather last minute, only 2 months ahead of our intended elopement date, and Kasia was super responsive and ready to roll up her sleeves to make our dream elopement come to life in Paris!
After our first meeting, we were so relieved to know we were in good hands with someone who is extremely competent, well-networked, EXPERIENCED, and works with urgency. Due to the last minute nature of our contract AND eloping during the month of August where much of Paris is shut down for holiday, we were blown away by Kasia’s ability to secure incredibly high quality vendors, from the photographer to the florist, a vintage Rolls Royce, a cake, and more! There was consistently clear and quick communication all throughout, even despite a 9 hour timezone difference.
The day of the elopement was equally as impressive and so well-coordinated. It was completely stress-free, allowing us to focus on each other and relish in the magic of eloping in Paris! The whole experience would not have been nearly as special without FGE, we are so so thankful to have Kasia’s expertise, talent, and keen eye for beautiful, romantic details. Her passion clearly drives her craft! We really needed someone to just pull it all together for us— she did exactly that, AND packaged it with a bow and lit fireworks! She is truly spectacular, thank you French Grey Events!!”
Best,

Kasia!
Wow… just wow! This video was the perfect way to capture our special (elopement ) day in Paris! We were absolutely blown away by the cinematography and editing, it was perfect! We are still soaking everything in but I’ve cried multiple times when watching it. We’ve shared it very sparingly only in front of a select few but I wanted to take the time to thank you for pulling this all together and making our wedding day in Paris as one friend put it “the greatest of all time!”
All I can say is we will be back, and the next time we come we will have company!
Jeffrey & Megan September 2021
Greetings Kasia!
We sadly arrived back home last night 🙁
I just wanted to thank you for making our special wedding day in Paris better than we could have imagined! Everything went so smoothly and I credit it all to you! Anissa and Celine were so sweet and kind and are definitely highly experienced in their fields. The day fit our personalities perfectly – it was not only romantic and intimate but really fun as well! Andre was so fun-loving…such a nice man.
We can’t think of a single thing we would change about the entire day 🙂
We plan to be back in Paris in 5 years (or less)!
Many, many thanks!
Kathryn & Tom December 2021
Good morning Kasia,
We are so excited for June 15th and are looking forward to meeting you and your team! Melody and I appreciate your understanding and commitment to helping us make our dream wedding ceremony in Paris come true! We appreciate all you do and have our fingers crossed that our dream will finally become a reality.
We are so excited to meet y’all and be able to have the elopement of our dreams at Chateau de Villette!!
Best Wishes,
Brandon & Mlelody June 2021
Hi Kasia,
We are back in the states after a nice, restful stay on Santorini. We can’t thank you enough for how well the entire event came together. It far exceeded our expectations and all of our guests are still raving about it. What we loved most is that is was very Parisienne and wasn’t an event that could have been replicated in the States – and that meant everything. Every detail was so impressive – the small intimate space at The Peninsula, the “bride” and “groom” signs on the champagne glasses, the beautiful flowers, and the absolutely stunning salon room and terrace at Hotel Crillon – it was all so perfect and opulent! And I love the Louis Vuitton City Guide, I was reading it on the plane and I’m already excited to get back to Paris to use it! It took us a few days to even decompress from how magnificent it was.
Thank you again, it was truly spectacular!
Shelly & Andy September 2018
Kasia was our wedding officiant for our recent destination wedding in VIEUX CASTILLON, in the south of France and we could not have been happier. She was very well organised and a true professional but the real reason we chose her was her incredible way with words -the vows and text she created for our ceremony was beautiful and created an amazing feeling and atmosphere on the day. She blew us and all of our guests away and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lindsey & Henry September 2019
Dear Kasia,
Where do we begin but with a simple and grateful thank you! We can’t thank you enough for planning the perfect wedding day for us in PARIS, FRANCE. Everything from the smallest detail such as the beautiful bouquet to your heart warming words was PERFECT! You exceeded all our expectations and more, and we honestly can’t express our gratitude enough. Thank you for making our elopement wedding day in Paris a day we’ll never forget. Thank you for all your hard work. We wish you all the best on all your future endeavors, you are hands down the best!
Please expect to hear from us for our vow renewal in the future 🙂 Have a blessed summer!
Love,
Mr & Mrs Torres June 2019
Hey Kasia,
We could not be happier with yesterday’s elopement wedding in PARIS, it was perfect!
Are you able to share with us the phrase you shared at the end of the ceremony in French? It was beautiful and Adrianna and I would like to do something with it.
Merci!!!!
Kevin & Adrianna June 2019
“Je t’aime, Je t’adore, J’aime, que la vie est belle, Mon coeur est a toi, Ton coeur est a moi, J’entends ta voix dans tous les bruits du monde.
I love you, I adore you, I’m in love, and life is wonderful, My heart is yours, Your heart is mine, and I hear your voice in every sound.”
Hi Kasia!
Cassie & mike May 2019
I can very honestly say that my wedding day and the events surrounding would not have been anywhere near as amazing without Kasia! What started as a small 10 person event, grew to a 37 guest celebration at the SHANGRI-LA HOTEL in PARIS, very different than what we had told her when we first hired her!
Kasia handled all my requests without missing a beat. She crafted this perfect vision of my wedding, with details I couldn’t have dreamed of. Kasia has this ability to connect with people so quickly, and conceptualize these amazing personal experiences. As with any wedding day, ours came with a few hiccups due to typical French vendors – Kasia handled this with such grace that you never would have known!
She coordinated my day and kept everything on track, and all my family members on the right path.
From the incredible floral arrangements (seriously amazing) to our ceremony text, everything was beautified with her touch. Kasia is thoughtful, kind, creative, and reliable. These are traits that are so important in wedding planner (she is so much more than that!), but also all the qualities you want in a friend. Kasia, thank you so much, you are worth your weight in gold & I am so lucky to now also be able to call you a friend!
Love,
Dominique (and Jeremy too!)
Dominique & Jeremy May 2017
Dear Kasia,
Thank you so much for everything you did to plan our destination wedding at the RITZ PARIS absolutely incredible and unforgettable. “Thank you” does not seem adequate to capture how grateful we truly are!
Weddings are a whirlwind, full of small details that can easily be overlooked, especially when the bride and groom are enjoying the day together—and knowing that you had taken care of every small detail for us really allowed us to fully experience the day. The ceremony was so thoughtful and special for us— and our guests absolutely loved it! Having your expertise in arranging our other vendors was invaluable, especially since we don’t live in Paris. We just can’t thank you enough. We definitely plan on calling you for our vow renewal in a few years!! Merci beaucoup from the Rispins.
Christina & Mike October 2018
Hi Kasia,
It was the most magical wedding day at the RITZ PARIS, and we really can’t thank you enough. You are truly excellent at what you do!
Thank you again Kasia – we really hope to see you again when we renew our vows in 5 years time!
Best wishes,
Terrie & James x May 2019

Dear Kasia,
Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding day in PARIS, FRANCE so beautiful! From the incredibly gorgeous bouquet to the dream vintage car. My little girl dreams came true that day and I received so much more then I ever thought possible. We can’t get enough of the photos. The experience that you gave us is something that we will cherish for many years to come.
Destination weddings are not easy to plan and I know that I was not the easiest bride to keep happy with as many changes and desires as I had. You Kasia made it all come together and beautifully so. In a way that no one else could have or would have. We are so very thrilled with the entire experience. Thank you again!
Lee & Briana June 2018
Kasia,
We can’t thank you enough for everything you did leading up to our destination wedding at LA MAISON DES POLYTECHNICIENS the day of. The day went incredibly smooth and all of the details were stunning. Everything from the bouquet to the name cards on the champagne glasses and balloons at the ceremony. These details were exactly what we wanted. Everyone was singing you, Brian and Tuan’s praises at the professionalism and flawlessness with which the day transpired.
We are so happy we decided to do a destination wedding and found you. Deciding to make you our wedding planner was the best decision we made! And it didn’t hurt that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky!
We had a lot of fun working with all of you!
Again, merci beaucoup!
Monsieur et Madam Murray
Christy & Kevin May 2018
Hi Kasia!
We’ve been home for 2 weeks now and life is crazy so I’m just now emailing, which is my bad! I wanted to thank you so much for all the coordinating and work you did on our elopement wedding in PARIS, FRANCE. The bouquet was beyond what I expected! Everyone who’s seen pics of it has raved about it-it was stunning!
The day was everything I hoped for. It was just coincidence, but as we said our vows and kissed, the Notre Dame church bells were ringing, and everyone in the park clapped. Truly perfect.
Thank you so, so much again, Kasia. I never dreamed this could even happen, and you truly helped make/plan it perfect. I will never forget a single thing about that day.

Brian and Kasia,
Thank you so much for sending these wedding pictures of our wedding in Paris, and being part of our special day. You both made it such a pleasure and it was an honor to have you guys there capturing it all.
Thank you, thank you!!
MacKenzie & Nathan February 2018
Brian and Kasia,
Thank you, thank you for our magical wedding in Paris! The afternoon was all that we had hoped for.
The wonderful day continued after Andre dropped us off with the fun of telling our family and friends about the surprise and dinner at LA PEROUSE in PARIS.
We enjoyed working with you both, and would love to meet again if we renew our vows on a future visit. : )
Now, off to Normandy!!!!
Best to you,
Kelly & Tom September 2017
Dear Kasia
Aaron and I just returned from our honeymoon in Africa, otherwise I would already send you message.
I wanted to thank you for the wonderful ceremony on our destination wedding day at CHÂTEAU d’ESCLIMONT. I loved the little mix of different languages, very easy and warm atmosphere 😉
We could not wish to have a better organised ceremony.
Thank you again and wishing all the best!
Vladka & Aaron August 2017
Hello Kasia!
I just wanted to take a second before we get back into the bustle of real life to thank you for all your help planning our amazing destination wedding. The flowers and decorations transformed the already extraordinary space of 6 MANDEL in PARIS with a stunning celebratory ambiance.
Your thoughtful and perfect wedding ceremony brought our friends and family to tears (in the best possible way), and more than one person has since told me they’re telling everyone they know back at home it was the most intimate and beautiful wedding ceremony they’ve ever been a part of- and we feel the same way. It was real and honest balanced with beauty and gentleness.
Thank you for making the wedding day so smooth and allowing us to trust you to run with the styling- it was all perfect and beyond the best we could have ever imagined when we first embarked on this crazy French wedding journey.
Thank you again and I look forward to following what I know will be the strong and steady growth of French Grey Events endeavors!
Warmly,
Laura & Russell June 2017

Dear Kasia –
Forgive me for waiting so long to write, but I’ve been searching for the right words to express my gratitude for all you did to make our elopement wedding in Paris last month so incredibly special.
I don’t mind admitting that I was against eloping from the start – I knew that my mom would be heartbroken to not be there in person, and it didn’t seem worth it to hurt people’s feelings if it would just be the two of us standing on a rock somewhere having a pretend ceremony. But I started doing some research anyway, and once I met you and talked through the possibilities, I finally saw the error in my thinking!
From the very beginning, you seemed to understand my vision for the day, and the particular elements that were important to us as a couple. You patiently, expertly, pulled the perfect team together – and with just three weeks’ notice!
Anissa was able to transform me into a bride at 6:00 in the morning (no small feat, I’m sure!!) – I’ve never felt so pretty! And Joseba and Mar were truly the perfect photographers to capture the day. You even put me in touch with the manager at the FOUR SEASON HOTEL PARIS so that we could have a special wedding cake at our lunch, a small detail that I really would have missed. You asked me in advance to stay flexible, and in your capable hands, I never once felt stressed out – you scouted fantastic locations for our photo shoot, some of which didn’t make sense at the time, but looking at the pictures, WOW; and any little wrinkles in the plan were very elegantly handled. I can’t imagine that the big wedding at home we had originally planned would have run anywhere near as smoothly. And did I mention how much FUN we had?? The whole day just flew by in a whirlwind of love and laughter.
It was such a pleasure to get to know you and spend time with you, Kasia – you are such an amazing and talented woman; I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect.
With much love,
d’Alene & Max April 2017
Hi!
I was so excited looking at these images last week that I forgot to hit send on my reply! We knew they were going to be amazing, but these images are on a different level. You captured our love so beautifully in a city we love so dearly. A huge thanks to you and Kasia for helping make our wedding day in Paris everything we had dreamed it would be (and more!).
It was SO fun working with you guys. Seriously could not have asked for a better experience.
Thank you!!
Xx

Janise & Matt – February 24th 2017
Dear Kasia,
Matt and I really want to thank you from the bottom of my hearts for making our day SO SO SPECIAL. We could’ve not chosen a better officiant to be part of our special day.
To say you did a wonderful job is understatement, you were truly outstanding, from your costumer service, to your attention to detail to your artistic skills… I meant that bouquet was the best part of my day!!!
Thank you again so much for working with us and being so flexible!
I hope we can cross paths again in the near future!
Much love!
Janise and Matt ❤
Niki & Kevin – January 18th 2017
Kasia,
Words cannot explain how happy we are. You did an amazing thing. We were SO impressed. Everything was absolutely perfect. I honestly could not have ever imagined such a beautiful thing. Harold was amazing, Brian was incredible and the videographer was so sweet. The Bentley and Pasqual were exquisite. Not to mention the venue LA MAISON DES POLYTECHNICIENS and the flowers.
The words you spoke at the ceremony were beyond perfect. We received so many compliments. I want to thank you so much for everything!
Please feel free to give my e-mail address to anyone you with for reference. I’d be more than glad to let anyone know how amazing you are and to trust you fully to throw the most amazing wedding ever!! Can’t wait to see more pictures.

Love and hugs

Casey & Pete – July 4th 2016
Dear Kasia,
There are too few things in life that go perfectly the way you hope. Our wedding day with French Grey Events (Kasia) and French Grey Photography (Brian) was that rare, precious day. We loved every moment with them. From start to finish they were with us every step of the way.
Beginning with our initial contact we learned Kasia is an amazing organizer and quick to respond to all our questions. She took the time to get to know us and crafted a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget. Above all she was flexible, fun, easy going and treated us like long lost friends. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better wedding planner!
Brian is a true treasure with unbound creativity in his photography. We felt like we were on an adventure with all the unique photo locations we visited. We were so excited to get such a variety of beautiful parks, architecture, bridges, and of course – the iconic Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Some of our personal favorites include a little shop called Laduree and their famous macarons. To this day we can’t believe how much Brian squeezed in four hours.
The two of them are everything you could ever need for a wedding/elopement. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making our wedding day a fairy tale come true. It was romantic, distinctive, fun, and above all… perfect.
Casey and Pete
Naomi & Vincent
Dear Kasia,
We finally are able to enjoy a more relax weekend and we wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for officiating our wedding. We really liked your words and how the ceremony unfolded gathering both emotions and kind words.
Everyone enjoyed it and we still receive compliments about it. So thank you so much for being part of making this day unforgettable.
Best Regards,
Naomi & Vincent.
Elizabeth & Max
Where do I even begin?
Brian, the photographer, not only delivers to you magazine quality images, but he makes you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera. He is so easy to work with and the photos are to die for!
Kasia, his beautiful wife, is an amazing event planner. She brought to life our vision of a romantic spring wedding for two. Through constant contact via email, to her exquisite flowers, to her coordination of vendors and her beautiful wedding words she put together for us. You can not go wrong!
Kasia + Brian felt more like old friends than our vendors and we will always consider them that from here on out.
Whether you are considering an intimate wedding for two or a large scale wedding….you absolutely should look no further than this incredible duo. Trust me you will not be disappointed!! They offer you everything they say and more!
We are so grateful that they were able to make our wedding dreams come true and I’m confident if you are reading this considering them for a wedding service they will make yours come true too.
Merci Beacoup French Grey Photography + French Grey Events!!
Gemma & Rick
Thank you Brian (French Grey Photography) and Kasia (French Grey Events). Our pictures are really beautiful. We love that they capture so much of the emotion and action from the day – they remind us of how much fun we had. Brian’s photos have a lovely quality to them and capture the distinctive tones of the city. We love them.
We highly recommend both of their services. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed Kasia’s ceremony, which was personal and thoughtful. Brian was really easy to get along with and we really enjoyed having him as part of our day.
Laura & Todd
Kasia,
Thank you so so much for making Saturday so wonderful for us.
You did an amazing job of the ceremony, everyone assumed you were a friend of ours because it was so personal and so relaxed, exactly the way we wanted it! The ceremony exceeded our expectations completely!
Lauren & Corey
Hi Kasia,
We did have a great day! Thank you so much for everything. You and Brian are a couple of gems and you made this process not only easy, but genuinely enjoyable. Thank you so much! We hope to see you two again.

Cynthia & Jeff
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! You made everything so easy and personable. Always prompt with a response, flexible and sincerely nice! You rescued our ceremony by negotiating a better spot with the hotel and by doing so gave us unbelievable views to exchange vows. Professional and personal. I would recommend you to anyone! Thank you again!
Cynthia and Jeff
Megan and Doug
We appreciate everything you did to make our wedding day the most memorable, romantic, and special day of our lives. From the communication and consultation before we arrived in Paris, to the Boudoir photo shoot, to the beautiful floral arrangements, to a heartfelt ceremony, and capturing our day with gorgeous photos, you really outdid yourselves! Your flexibility and fun attitudes put us at ease when most people’s wedding days tend to be stressful. You created a magical day for us and we can’t thank you enough!

Clare & Neil
It was certainly a terrific experience but had to chuckle that night on discovering we could have simply used the buttons on the back of Clare’s dress to get into it instead of forcing the zip and busting it earlier in the day!!! Good thing we had Kasia’s expert sewing ability on hand!
Thank you again for all of your help both in the lead up to and on the day – we couldn’t have done it without you both.
Neil and Clare.
Ilene and Adam
Thank you both so much for making our day perfect. It couldn’t have been any better. You are very good at what you do and a pleasure to be around. Hopefully our paths will cross again one day. No cameras!
Sincerely,
