What happens when a creative mind, a passion for meaningful moments, and a degree in Hospitality & Event Management collide? For the founder of SANTÉ Weddings & Events, it meant falling in love — not just with weddings, but with the art of creating spaces where people feel something real.
“I still remember the first wedding I ever planned — I did it completely free of charge! I offered my help through Facebook and was excited to work with any couple who’d give me the chance.” That early initiative sparked a journey that would grow into a full-blown wedding planning studio known for curating elegant, intentional, and heart-centered events.
From working behind the scenes in catering and corporate events to planning a destination wedding in Bali after two months of strategic local networking, every step was driven by grit and genuine passion. Today, after more than a decade of running her own company, she’s one of the leading planners crafting stylish and soulful weddings across Europe.
When asked what she loves most about planning weddings, her answer is instant and full of clarity.
“What I love most about wedding planning is the perfect balance between creativity and connection... It’s such a privilege to be part of such a meaningful milestone in someone’s life — from the smallest details to the big, emotional moments.”
There’s no one-size-fits-all here. Each event is approached as a new canvas — guided by the couple’s story, values, and aesthetic. It’s not about pushing trends. It’s about curating experiences that feel like home.
At the core of SANTÉ Weddings & Events is a clear belief: every wedding should reflect the couple in an honest and elevated way.
“I truly believe that a wedding should be a reflection of the couple — their story, their style, their values — not just a checklist of traditions or trends.”
With that ethos, she gravitates toward intimate destination weddings and multi-day celebrations that give space for storytelling and immersive experiences. Editorial yet effortless, every detail is intentional.
She describes herself as not only a planner but a “creative partner and calm anchor” — a sentiment echoed in her ability to guide couples through the journey with clarity, sensitivity, and structure.
While full-service wedding planning remains the studio’s signature, there's also a dedicated Styling & Design service — perfect for couples who have logistics down but want a visual story that feels cohesive and stunning.
From concept to color palettes, from florals to tablescapes, design is never an afterthought — it's a language she speaks fluently.
“My goal is to make the experience stress-free and enjoyable, while delivering a wedding that not only looks stunning, but also flows beautifully and feels deeply personal.”
Yes, she offers tailored packages — but customization is at the heart of every service. Because no two love stories are the same.
“The most memorable wedding I’ve ever planned was my own,” she admits with a smile.
After years of orchestrating others' big days, stepping into the role of a bride brought new perspective. “It reminded me why I do what I do: to create a seamless experience so couples can truly enjoy every moment of their day without stress.”
It became a turning point — making her an even more empathetic and intuitive planner.
In Amsterdam, her favorite venues include timeless spaces like The Pulitzer, Waldorf Astoria, and The Dylan Hotel. But she’s not one to shy away from the unexpected — whether it’s a historic villa in Tuscany or a clifftop ceremony in Bali.
Of course, challenges arise — last-minute vendor changes, delivery delays, tricky family dynamics. But for her, it’s all about calm, swift problem-solving.
“My role is to protect the couple’s experience — staying calm, making fast decisions, and ensuring they can continue enjoying their day without being pulled into the chaos.”
When it comes to budgeting, her advice is simple: be intentional.
“You don’t need to have everything — you just need to have the things that truly reflect your story.”
For couples just starting out?
“Stay true to yourselves... Focus on what feels personal, authentic, and joyful for you — that’s what your guests will remember most.”
For aspiring planners?
“Trust yourself more — and don’t wait for perfection... The most important thing is to begin, keep learning, and stay true to your voice and values.”
When asked about her dream venues, her eyes light up: Kew Gardens in London, The Aman Venice, La Foce in Tuscany — places where beauty meets soul, and nature becomes part of the story.
It’s no surprise that her vision transcends checklists and timelines. For her, wedding planning isn’t just a career — it’s an art form, and a calling.
“I love it most when a wedding tells a story and leaves people feeling something real.”
