“Guillaume was great! Working with Guillaume from Beyond the Pines for our wedding was truly great, and we could not be more thrilled with the experience. Coming from Iceland for a destination wedding in France was no small feat, but Guillaume’s responsiveness and dedication was exceptional. We will not dare to count the endless emails and questions that arose throughout the process to which Guillaume remained incredibly patient and attentive in his responses. It really made the entire planning phase far smoother and less stressful than we could have imagined. On the wedding day itself was when Guillaume’s support and presence really shined. He ensured that our day and the entire weekend and Chateau Engalin ran perfectly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without any outside concerns. Professionalism, and calm demeanor throughout made us feel completely at ease, knowing we were in great hands.
Guillaume exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for his invaluable role in making our wedding day as great as it was. We wholeheartedly recommend Guillaume from Beyond the Pines to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding planning experience.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Guillaume for our destination wedding at Chateau Engalin, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Planning a wedding from Canada seemed daunting at first, but Guillaume made the entire process smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free.
Guillaume possesses impeccable taste and a keen eye for styling and artistry. We trusted him with the aesthetic and design of our wedding. He is also incredibly organized and efficient. He coordinated everything seamlessly, handling all the logistics and communication with our local vendors. His experience and professionalism ensured that everything went off without a hitch, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our special day.
We are so grateful to Guillaume for his hard work and unwavering support throughout the entire planning process. If you are looking for a wedding planner with impeccable taste, artistic talent, and a commitment to excellence, look no further than Guillaume. He will make your wedding dreams come true, just as he did for us.”

“Guillaume! I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for us at our wedding.
Having on you was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only were we delighted to get to know you, we also feel lucky to have had all your good advices for things we clearly wouldn't have thought of, your big smile always and your reassuring presence!
Thank you for taking such good care of everyone. Your presence and the care you gave to everyone really stood out, everyone loved you and thought you were great :)”

“Planning a wedding abroad from Ireland (with very limited French!) is no easy feat, and hiring Guillaume was the best decision we made - I wish we had hired him earlier! From the initial first contact, no query or question was too small.
Guillaume was such a calming presence throughout the run up to the wedding and made sure everything across the 4 days went smoothly. He really looked after us and our guests and everyone commented on how supportive and ease going he was! Guillaume has an amazing eye for detail and styling and had several great suggestions that really elevated the weekend. Would 100% recommend Guillaume to any couples planning a wedding abroad!”

Thank you so much for everything.”

“Beyond the Pines wedding planning was an absolute pleasure to work with. Planning a wedding in Hossegor all the way from Los Angeles is difficult and requires an element of trust! I am confident anyone planning a wedding with Guillaume will be in great hands. From last minute requests, to beautiful wedding details, Guillaume was a life saver on multiple occasions. If it wasn’t for him, our wedding day would not have been the best day of my husband and my life.”

“Guillaume helped us plan our wedding in France (we are based in London). He was incredibly helpful, always super quick to respond to us and nothing seemed like too much trouble for him to sort out. Thank you Guillaume we really appreciate it!”

“We wanted to send you an email to say thank you to you both for what can only be described as the best weekend of our lives! Guillaume, thank you for organising the Lady L Trio in such short notice. They were the perfect accompaniment to the day, and really brought a relaxed and warm atmosphere to all the proceedings. Lots of our friends commentated on how beautiful “Halo” was when I walked in so please pass that on to them!
ALSO we cannot thank you enough for all the insane work you were doing with organising transport for us and our guests - every day a new requirement, a new relative or an international bike race to deal with! That we didn’t have to deal with any of that removed a huge amount of stress for us so thank you x 10000000000000!!”

“You were a superstar! (with the longest lashes we have ever seen!) Thank you for constantly being back and forth with us over email and making everything so streamline! Still now helping us! You were integral to the organisation of this! On the day you were such a calming energy and super proactive!”

“Hi both, we're returning to reality today. Thank you for helping us plan what was the best weekend of our lives. Our cheeks are still hurting from smiling so much. I genuinely think our family and friends will be talking about it for years to come! Both days were perfect: the food, the music, the decorations, the flowers, the venue, the staff ...”

“We cannot recommend Guillaume enough to any couples looking for a wedding planner!
Guillaume guided us every step of the way when organising our wedding in the South West of France. Guillaume is really friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He also has a great sense for styling and incredible attention to details.
He made fantastic recommendations for our vendors, centralised communications and helped us focusing on the different decisions at the right time. Even our vendors told us how impressed they were with him.
Another thing that's worth noting, when issues arose with the venue (which we had chosen ourselves before hiring him), Guillaume really had our backs - which was great support.
Thanks a million Guillaume for being such great help for us and making our special day so magical.”

“If you’re looking for a dream wedding planner, Guillaume is the perfect choice!
Organising a destination wedding could have been stressful but Guillaume did everything he could to remove as much stress as possible. As soon as we met him we knew we were in good hands, it also helps that he has a great sense of humour!
Guillaume is one of the kindest people we’ve met and he truly goes above and beyond for people.
He has an exceptional eye for detail, beautiful taste and style and knew exactly the look and also ‘feel’ that we wanted for our wedding weekend and delivered it perfectly!
He might make it look easy with his cool, calm exterior but he worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that we didn’t have to think, we could just party and enjoy the weekend with our loved ones.
Thank you Guillaume for everything! Do not hesitate to ask him if you need someone to deliver your dream event!”

“Wow, we don’t even know where to start! Guillaume was beyond amazing for our wedding weekend. Everything ran perfectly and seamlessly, even in the face of adversity from stormy weather. We would have been lost without him. As well as making sure everything looked stunning and ran smoothly, Guillaume’s personality is hard to match. All of our guests fell in love with him and it was an honour to have him there on our wedding day with all of our closest family and friends. We cannot recommend him highly enough.”
