To enable you to understand what it really means to have such an accolade attached to the business, we\u2019re letting you behind the veil to point out you exactly why we\u2019re now officially \u2018Favourite Destination Wedding Planner\u2019 in keeping with the RSVP Club Vienna Awards Gala for Europe, Africa and the Middle-East.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m Michelle J \u2013 a destination wedding planner with 15 years\u2019 experience working in London and throughout Europe, specialising in Jewish celebrations, interfaith weddings and all-round unforgettable events. I consider myself a little bit of a Fairy Godmother of weddings, mixing luxurious details, elevated design and high-end supplier teams with our signature warm, embracing approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>The secrets behind becoming an award winning destination wedding planner\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Time &amp; Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 years of wedding planning in Europe implies that we\u2019ve done a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lot<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of learning, refining and perfecting how we work, and the way we collaborate with local suppliers. Not only can we now have an intensive network of contacts at wedding venues, hotels and with countless vendors throughout Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mallorca and more, we\u2019re also well versed in the way in which they get things done \u2013 which may be very different to the way in which things work in your property country. Good relationships are key to successful wedding planning, and we\u2019ve worked hard on constructing them throughout the years. We\u2019re now happy with the status we&#8217;ve in the marriage industry, each within the UK and Europe, and assured that we and our supplier network can deliver an incredible wedding for you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anywhere<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add to this one other layer; creating a marriage that&#8217;s utterly yours, with an excellent flavour of the country you\u2019ve chosen to get married in. We so often say that we shouldn\u2019t try to duplicate the marriage you&#8217;ll have at home, copy-and-pasting it into Italy or Portugal, for instance. Mixing what\u2019s vital to you, including the customs and traditions of your faith or religion and your personal preferences, with the essence of your location is how real magic happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Becoming an award winning destination wedding planner requires a sophisticated skill set of adapting to local suppliers and venues and getting the most effective out of them, and that is something we imagine comes only with time and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Selecting A Team<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30172\" style=\"width: 1990px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30172\" class=\"wp-image-30172 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1317\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-scaled.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-480x319.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1980px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-scaled.jpg\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30172\" class=\"wp-image-30172 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-scaled.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner3-480x319.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1980px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-30172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/515photoco.com\">515 Photo Co <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning a marriage is a team effort, and I often feel just like the conductor of an orchestra bringing together each of your suppliers and ensuring they\u2019re all playing from the identical rating. But what it&#8217;s possible you&#8217;ll not know is how vital the Elegante by Michelle J team is to the success of your wedding day. Delivering a destination wedding requires a much greater team than, say, a one-day event at a London hotel \u2013 we regularly work across multiple locations, entire days and well into the early hours, and we attempt to supply the very best experience for you and your guests throughout. This implies we are sometimes a team of 5 or 6 at your destination wedding, with each Elegante member bringing their very own skills and experience to your event and everybody with the identical goal in mind: helping you&#8217;ve gotten probably the most incredible time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the Elegante team at your wedding, you\u2019ll all the time find;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michelle, in fact. Overseer, connector, coordinator, and hands-on wedding planner. You\u2019ll find Michelle at each of your wedding events, meticulously ensuring no detail is missed and the additional mile is all the time gone.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A neighborhood language speaker. Wherever we&#8217;re on this planet, we\u2019ll have someone on the team who can fluently communicate with suppliers, drivers, porters and other people involved in your wedding who may not speak English<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An in-house travel advisor. Not only does our Elegante travel agent help with planning flights, hotels, guest accommodation, transfers and activities ahead of your wedding, they\u2019re also present throughout your celebrations should any issues arise or recent questions come up<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific experts for particular faiths, customs or events that require them. For instance, we recently delivered an Indian-Jewish interfaith wedding and had on our team an Indian wedding specialist to help with the Jaan, Haldi and Indian wedding ceremony<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, at your wedding there&#8217;ll all the time be several experienced wedding day team members, helping to make sure the whole lot is ready up as planned and suppliers are where they needs to be at the correct time, supporting you as a pair, guiding your guests and helping to enable the magic.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Guest Considerations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A part of being an award winning destination wedding planner is knowing the various requirements in your guests\u2019 experience; bringing your family members overseas to have a good time with you is a much greater ask than inviting them to a in the future wedding at home. Not only do we&#8217;ve to fastidiously plan many more logistical elements corresponding to transport and accommodation, we also must treat them to an experience they may always remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way in which we do that is by curating a marriage to the best standards, and taking your family members on a journey \u2013 starting together with your welcome party and going all through to the marriage and post-wedding event, if applicable. Every thing is planned, designed and delivered with no detail ignored, and our goal is that everybody feels they&#8217;re being treated like royalty. This shared experience in your guests lasts a lifetime, and so they\u2019ll all the time have your wedding in common. What we\u2019re trying to do is make these memories utterly magical, in a gorgeous location of your selecting. We\u2019ll ask you to think about things it&#8217;s possible you&#8217;ll not have ever considered before, corresponding to curated welcome bags, planning guest activities, and handling the logistics of the most effective option to get them to and out of your wedding venue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>Technical Details &amp; Paperwork<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30171 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"an award winning destination wedding planner knows how to give you the wedding you want, wherever you are in the world\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-480x320.jpg 480w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1980px, 100vw\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30171 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2.jpg\" alt=\"an award winning destination wedding planner knows how to give you the wedding you want, wherever you are in the world\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-1280x854.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/elegantebymichellej.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/award-winning-wedding-planner2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1980px, 100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not the gorgeous, glamorous a part of weddings, but it surely\u2019s the part that enables all of the visuals and atmosphere to come back together seamlessly \u2013 the technical details, paperwork and logistical considerations.
