I am Valerie and I am a wedding planner from Cincinnati specialised in planning your dream destination wedding to Europe. Whether it be Italy, France, Spain, Greece or somewhere else – let’s elevate your wedding by hiring me as your wedding planner.
You as a couple are always my priority. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to create customised weddings and events. A streamlined, transparent and custom-tailored planning phase is therefore what will give you an elevated experience. I only work with selected vendors and do not get any commission. The trust that you put in me by letting me take care of one of the most special days of your lived is being returned by always delivering professional support in all matters.
My journey to becoming a successful wedding planner in Cincinnati started in Germany where I am originally from. I did my training with one of Germany’s best wedding planners (Avantgarde Academy). This training as well as my teaching profession prepared me perfectly for any organisational, planning or creative challenges.
I have worked with many international couples, based in the US, France and the UK. My unique background allows me to ensure your European wedding dreams are fulfilled. Not only do I have experience in planning and executing weddings in Europe, I was also brought up and have lived there most of my life. You will work closest with your wedding planner in your planning journey. I am a great fit if you are looking for someone that is quick to communicate, lives in your time zone and has experience in Europe.
Your wedding is exclusively about you, your love and your celebration. With me as your wedding planner from Cincinnati you can make sure that you and your guests can enjoy this special day to the fullest.

Rule of thumb is that a wedding planner costs 15-20% of your total budget. However, a wedding planner’s fee depends on various factors. Are you getting married abroad, are you opting for a multi-day wedding or am I only involved the day of? As a wedding planner from Cincinnati, I work with a fixed price to ensure that my fee is not affected by your budget.
As an experienced wedding planner from Cincinnati timing is irrelevant for you. It is doable to plan weddings in a short amount of time, however you will have to be more flexible with your budget or your vision as vendors are typically booked months in adance. If you factor in about 18 months of planning for a destination wedding, you will have more choices when it comes to vendors.
As an all-inclusive wedding planner I make sure to guide you through the whole process from the very beginning. Beginning with a detailed budget overview, we then talk about your vision for the wedding based on which I create a design concept and look for venues. I take care of all the vendors, communication and support you on your wedding day. As a wedding planner from Cincinnati I mainly save you three things: time, stress and money.
