What We Do
Kiss Me in Paris plans, designs, and produces luxury marriage proposals, elopements, destination weddings, and private celebrations in Paris, across France, and worldwide. Co-founder and Executive Planner Chantelle Streete leads our planning team. Since 2013, we have planned more than 1,500 events. We begin with the people at the heart of each occasion, then shape the setting and experience around what matters to them.
More about planning with usShow less
We approach design with curiosity and an eye for harmony. We explore ideas with you, considering how you want your event to look and feel. We think about the first impression a room makes, what draws people together, and how the atmosphere changes throughout the celebration. Flowers, lighting, and performers can transform a space. Scent, texture, and food give it depth.
Our clients include public figures, royalty, and highly private families. Discretion is part of how we work.
From intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, our team brings the design, logistics, and production together. We keep you involved in the big decisions and handle challenges calmly behind the scenes, so you and your guests can relax and have a great deal of fun.
Paris Planning Services
A proposal, an elopement, and a wedding ask different things of a planner.
Proposal Planning
Luxury marriage proposal planning in Paris, from private Eiffel Tower terraces and Seine yachts to museums after hours and French châteaux. We start with her, then plan the day: the cover story, where you propose, your first dinner as fiancés, and where you spend that night. It might mean a quiet rooftop and a single harpist, or arriving by helicopter at a château with fireworks, rare champagne, and family waiting just out of sight. Our Paris proposal guide walks through the early decisions.
Elopement Planning
Paris elopement planning for two, or for the few people you want beside you. It could be vows on a private terrace facing the Eiffel Tower, a Rolls-Royce drive through the city, and dinner in a private salon. We plan the whole day, from getting ready to your wedding night, with time to enjoy being together.
Wedding Planning
Destination wedding planning in Paris and across France. We have planned for 16 guests at a palace hotel and for 240 at a château. We give the days around the wedding the same care as the day itself, from the welcome dinner to the goodbye brunch. Your guests can settle in, get to know one another, and enjoy being here with you.
Why Couples Hire Us
Couples find us through our reputation. They hire us for what’s behind it.
Our reputation
Reuters, CNN Travel and Agence France-Presse have reported on our work. Our clients’ names appear only when they choose to share them.
Advice before decisions
Your priorities, taste, cultural considerations, and budget guide the ideas we bring to you. We recommend where restraint is the better choice and where scale will make a real difference. We explain what is worth investing in and what would simply add cost.
Access to Paris’s best venues and vendors
Venues and vendors trust us because we arrive prepared, communicate clearly, and give talented people what they need to do their best work. That trust can mean starting setup before a museum or château closes to the public, securing tables that are usually booked weeks ahead, or arranging private boutique appointments most clients would not be offered on their own.
The right vendor team
The best-known vendor is not automatically the right fit. Two filmmakers may have similar reputations and fees, yet make very different films. One family may prefer an all-female team; another may need several languages spoken during the event.
We weigh style, temperament, and cultural fit alongside your budget and what the event requires.
Privacy and discretion
We give vendors clear confidentiality instructions and share surprise details only with those who need them. When required, NDAs extend to editing, printing, and album-production teams.
Some clients want complete privacy; others welcome press coverage and editorial features. We publish only with their written approval.
Judgment under pressure
Paris does not pause for your event. A state visit closes roads, a film crew takes over the quay, and the weather turns. Vendors fall ill.
We prepare alternatives, assess what has changed, and keep the right people informed before they need to act. The problem-solving stays with us.
How It Works
A proposal may come together in weeks; wedding planning often begins more than a year ahead. The first steps are the same.
01. Send your inquiry
Tell us what you are planning, your preferred dates, guest count, and budget. If it looks like a fit, we arrange a complimentary consultation with the planner best suited to your event.
02. The consultation
We discuss your priorities, your ideas, and what full-service planning covers. Concept development begins once you have booked.
03. Make it official
Your signed agreement and agreed initial payment confirm your booking. Our planning questionnaire follows.
04. The kick-off call
Your answers guide our first planning call: ideas, priorities, and next steps.
05. Plan and build
We research venues and vendors, develop the design, and coordinate production. For weddings, we also arrange venue visits, tastings, trials, and guest logistics. You approve venue and vendor costs before we confirm bookings.
06. Enjoy your celebration
Your lead planner directs the team, keeps essential timings precise, and makes room when you want more time for portraits or with your guests. If a change affects costs or reservations, we explain it discreetly and let you decide.
For weddings, we can help your guests with restaurant bookings or airport transfers. After a proposal, we handle the teardown. The rest is yours.

Who We Are
We’re a woman-led 
team of wedding, 
proposal, and elopement planners in Paris. This city 
is our home and creative 
playground.
Paris gives us architecture, cuisine, art, history, fashion, and enough possibilities to keep us curious. Some of our best ideas arrive while we are packing welcome bags in the wee hours.
We began as a photography studio in 2013 and expanded into full-service planning in 2017. Photography and film are still part of the company, and much of the imagery on this website is our own work.
Chantelle · shan-tel
“No two couples are the same, so no two events should feel interchangeable.”
I lead the creative direction of our celebrations, helping couples choose the setting, set the budget and bring the right people together. When a senior planner leads on site, I remain responsible for the quality of our work.
My route to Paris took me from Montego Bay through the Wharton School and the trading floors of Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch. It taught me to stay calm and make considered decisions.
The first ideas and photographs you share are a start. I want to know what is behind them, for you and your families. We develop the celebration together, from how the room feels to how your guests are welcomed. Meet Chantelle.
Work With Chantelle
Chantelle’s own commissions are haute couture: proposals and destination weddings designed from scratch around each couple. To explore working together, message our team on WhatsApp. We’ll discuss your plans, share starting prices, and invite you to book a consultation if it feels like a fit.
On the day of the wedding, all we had to do was ask, “Where do you want me? When do you need me?” There was no stress, no last-minute panic.

Questions We Hear First
Who will we be working with?
You work with a named lead planner, supported by a team sized to your event.
Planning is available in English and French, and in Russian with Nadia. Nadia can also assist in basic Spanish.
We choose your planner according to the scope, date, language needs, and fit. We confirm your lead planner and working language before booking. Once assigned, she remains your main contact throughout planning and the event. You have her direct WhatsApp and always know who is responsible.
Can we plan the entire event from abroad?
Yes. Proposals, elopements, and weddings can all be planned entirely from abroad. We work over WhatsApp, video calls, email, or phone, whichever suits you. There is no required number of trips.
Most wedding couples come to Paris for venue visits, tastings, beauty trials, vendor meetings, and gown fittings. We group appointments to make good use of your time.
When you cannot come, we visit venues and meet vendors on your behalf, sharing notes, photographs, and video.
How far in advance should we plan?
There is no fixed minimum, but earlier planning gives you more choice. Wedding planning often begins more than a year ahead. For proposals and elopements, a few weeks or months give us time to secure venues and vendors and develop the personal details.
We have produced a private Shangri-La Paris proposal the day after the first message came in, and Jeremiah and Heaven’s château proposal at Vaux-le-Vicomte in six days. Both were exceptional and depended on availability.
Tell us your date, however close it is. We will give you an honest view of what can still be done.
What are my options for an Eiffel Tower proposal?
You can choose a private rooftop, a palace-hotel terrace, a Seine yacht, or a public viewpoint with a clear Eiffel Tower view.
A private setting gives us greater control over access, music, design, and the weather plan. A public viewpoint generally costs less, and you share it with other visitors.
For an evening proposal, we can plan the question or your first toast around the Tower’s sparkle.
How much does a Paris proposal cost?
One hour of photographer-led proposal coverage at a public viewpoint starts at €360 including VAT. Our prepared private packages start at €5,500. Most full-service Shangri-La Paris proposals cost €10,000 or more, and large château productions can reach six figures.
The venue, design, and number of guests have the greatest effect on the total.
What budget should we plan for a Paris wedding?
For a three-day palace wedding comparable to Mila and David’s at Hôtel Plaza Athénée, with 16 guests, plan on a total budget of over €100,000. Guest count, venue, and the number of events have the greatest effect on the total. Our planning fee is quoted by scope.
How are your planning fees structured?
Proposal planning fee: Starts at €1,200 or 15% of the budget under management, whichever is greater.
Elopement planning fee: Quoted by scope.
Wedding and multi-day planning fees: Quoted by scope.
The planning fee covers concept development, budget management, vendor research and negotiation, schedules, and event-day coordination.
Venue and vendor costs are quoted separately and need your approval.
Do you plan events outside Paris?
Yes. Our Paris-based team plans marriage proposals worldwide, along with weddings and other events across France and selected destinations abroad.
In France, our experience includes Provence, the Côte d’Azur, and château destinations. Abroad, we have planned proposals in Venice, Santorini, Cappadocia, Aspen, and London, as well as events at Lake Como and Lake Garda. We have also planned weddings in San Francisco and Darwin, Australia.
Tell us the destination and what you have in mind. We will explain how we can help and whether we are the right team for it.
How do you protect the surprise and keep our event private?
For a surprise, the WhatsApp group gets a neutral name, confirmations go to an email address you choose, and arrivals are coordinated so nothing gives the proposal away. Details go only to the people who need them.
We publish photographs, films, and event details only with your written permission. Formal NDAs are available when required.
Tell us what you’re planning.
Your dates, your ideas, your questions. We’ll take it from there.
