Kind Words
We had our vision for our dream weekend, friends and family gathered at a cosy Château in Provence surrounded by vineyards and soaked in magical Provence light. It finally happened this September in Château de Sannes.
We knew we needed a professional team to be able to coordinate the event to the highest standard. Then, we met Aneesha who swept us off our feet with her incredible coordination skills. We never had to chase, she was so proactive leading up to the event. We don't speak French, she was also extremely helpful helping us coordinate with local vendors.
On the weekend of our wedding, there is no little thing that went unattended by the Lace and Lavande team. Their attention to detail, hard work and dedication really helped us to bring our vision to life. Aneesha was reading our thoughts and remembered the tiniest of details we discussed 6 months ago. For example starting the song from the exact second for the dance or putting menus in the way we asked for. She coordinated vendors in a professional but at the same time firm manner to make sure everything is in place and on time. Usually no wedding is on time, causing stress to the bride and groom, Aneesha so effortlessly managed to help us be completely stress free with the timeline. Aneesha is also a very kind and dedicated person, who genuinely cares about the couple which is a rare skill that not every wedding planner has. It feels like more than a job but rather a real desire to make the happiest day stress-free and perfect.

Aneesha was an absolute joy to work with. She is highly talented, responsive, and creative, and works with a fantastic team of vendors. She made our day absolutely perfect, even as we dealt with unexpected last minute hurdles. I don't know what we would have done without her.

We had our wedding in Provence in May 2022. The event literally could not have happened if it weren’t for the hard work, listening ear, and smiling face of Aneesha. Not only is she a high quality wedding planner, she is extremely intelligent, and instantly felt like part of the family. She helped translate contracts, vet vendors, taste test our dinner menu, and coordinate payments (among a dozen other things). If you are in search of an organized, professional, English speaking, planner in the South of France, then look no further than Lace & Lavande. Forever grateful!

Where to start with this?! Aneesha at Lace & Lavande was simply EXCEPTIONAL. My husband and I got married in Marseillan on the 27th August 22 and enlisted the help of Aneesha in October 21. We are based in the UK and couldn’t have done it without her. From the beginning Aneesha was incredibly organised, extremely friendly, and simply a delight to communicate with. Over the months we built a brilliant relationship with Aneesha that meant the rest of the planning was smooth and, most importantly, fun. Aneesha was calm and reassuring throughout and I really enjoyed our regular catch ups. It also helps that Aneesha is not only detail focussed, but creative and tres chic. Not to mention her huge list of contacts and connections through the SoF and superb translation skills. We had a brilliant experience visiting Marseillan before the wedding for our menu tasting along with other wedding-y things, arranged and accompanied by Aneesha and she provided expert advice and guidance. On the wedding day itself Aneesha and her team were ON IT. Nothing felt like too much trouble. From ensuring we had a glass of fizz and a plate of canapés to enjoy when we were too busy to think about it, to making friends with our friends. All our guests loved her. And then the day after event, a lunch at a local oyster bar, planned by Lace & Lavande, was a hit too. The cherry on top. Would not hesitate to recommend anyone else but Lace & Lavande for planning your wedding in the SoF.

We just had our very memorable wedding ceremony in Montpellier, France on Aug 7th, 2021. It was a perfect event! We had waited for this for so long due to the COVID pandemic! Kudos to Aneesha and her team from Lace & Lavande, without them, it would have been impossible for us to plan a wedding in the middle of a pandemic from the US, plus I don’t speak French!! Everything in the event was perfect! We loved the decoration, we loved the food, we loved our photos and the music! We got many compliments from our guests, and they all enjoyed it very much! Every piece of the glamor from the wedding takes so much attention and effort. I am very amazed by Aneesha’s organization, planning, orientation to details, relationship with various vendors, high level of resilience, courage and her taste of decency and fashion! Without asking, I have already shared with my friends in the US and China that if they are looking for a wedding planner in France to plan for a splendid destination wedding, Lace & Lavande is THE choice!

There is no easier recommendation to write than for Aneesha and her team. We had 150 family and friends fly to France from all over the world for a three day celebration in September 2023, and knew we were going to need professional help to plan and coordinate the weekend.
Aneesha embodies all the qualities of an exceptional event planner. She was impeccably organized, always prompt in her replies, and deeply intent on understanding our vision and story. She has a talent for bringing this vision to life through the smallest details. Aneesha also has an unparalleled ability to deal with the unexpected challenges that inevitably arise during planning and did so with calm, poise, and efficient problem-solving that put us completely at ease and ensured we could focus on enjoying our perfect weekend.
Beyond her professional expertise, Aneesha’s warmth is infectious and makes her an absolute joy to work with. Her genuine passion for her work and the dedicated care she invests in her clients make it evident how invested she is in bringing your day to life.
Choosing Aneesha was the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding planner who not only excels in organizational skills and attention to detail but also brings a personal touch that makes the entire experience delightful.

We really loved working with Aneesha to plan our mother's 60th birthday party with only 6 weeks to go! She's so sweet, helpful and organized and helped us coordinate with all the vendors using a very user-friendly application and helped manage the event from start to finish. I highly recommend using her for your event planning services, we won't hesitate to use her again in the future! thanks so much for making this day one we won't forget!

My partner, Aakriti and I, started planning our very intricate and extensive Indian-French wedding in the winter of 2021. We were definitely not looking for a wedding planner, but the stars somehow aligned and we came across Aneesha. It was hands down *THE BEST* thing that happened for our wedding.
Aneesha is so kind and patient and just a complete joy to work with. She understands everything super quickly, is extremely reliable, so quick at answering any of our questions.
We live in California and so planning a wedding in the South of France was definitely going to be an endeavor, but with Aneesha, it was a complete breeze. She more-or-less stuck to our budget on all the vendors and used an amazing amount of resourcefulness and creativity to make the wedding of our dreams come true!
During the wedding days, and those leading up to it as well, Aneesha was of course super helpful. She took all our decor that we had brought from the US and from India and sorted it all and organized everything super efficiently, more than we had organized ourselves!
Neither us nor our families felt any stress at all during the wedding days (2 of them!) because Aneesha and her team really took care of everything and even when something went not according to plan (ex. RAIN during a garden party), Aneesha was very quick to change the plans, let us know exactly what was happening and be super proactive in moving the show along!
All in all, we cannot recommend Aneesha enough! Planning a wedding with was as stress-free as wedding planning can be
