About
La Fête is the brainchild of creative mastermind Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, who brings a background in luxury fashion and years in event design to this internationally orientated wedding planning service. Based in London, Ricard-Quesdada plans with dynamic style and cinematic execution, equally at home executing a multi-day destination celebration on an opposite continent as an intimate Cotswolds classic. Ricard-Quesada brings with her some of the most talented florists, photographers, venues, and designers in the industry, giving her couples access to an expert insider network of suppliers. With the creative backing of Ricard-Quesada herself, a La Fête wedding is one with heart, personalised to the vision, style, and priorities of a couple with a noted expertise in multicultural weddings. Be it nodding to international wedding customs, ensuring the seamless blend of religious ceremonial requirements, or simply an implicit understanding of values, La Fête brings multilingual excellence to the table. This is creative direction at its showstopping max; perhaps why it’s rumoured they only take on a select number of weddings a year, so snap them up while you can.

Testimonials
I interviewed six planners before choosing Charlotte. She stood out immediately, not only because she’s incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, but also because she’s detail-oriented, dedicated, and also has a really strong artistic vision.I felt immediately at ease; She was also thoughtful, responsive, and very thorough in her communication. She speaks multiple languages and has deep knowledge of venues and vendors across Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, and probably more. She’s also an incredibly interesting and dynamic person, bringing great energy, style, and a unique perspective. Our event was a Jewish wedding, and she has also done beautiful Indian weddings and many others from a range of backgrounds and cultures. She is empathetic, adaptable, culturally aware, and quick to learn. She truly understands the art of gathering and how to create not just a beautiful space, but an experience that feels welcoming and meaningful. The short version is this: she is the best at what she does. Highest recommendation. Book her early if you can. You really won’t regret it.

We had the pleasure of employing Charlotte Ricard-Quesada and La Fête as our lead planner for a complex three-day wedding celebration for 450 guests, many of whom flew in from abroad. There were also artists, 90 chefs, more than 20 suppliers, and over 400 support crew needed to bring our vision to life. Charlotte is professional, trustworthy, and truly understands what a luxury plus brief means: she answered our phone calls at random hours of the day, making all of our little (and big) wishes and requests into a reality. Thanks to her efforts, all of the events went off seamlessly, and we and our guests thoroughly enjoyed them. It was truly a magical weekend – the guests are raving about the food, decor and hospitality and warm service they received every step of the way on the weekend.
