That’s how the story begins.

I am Frédérique – Director of the Lyon Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Élodie Villemus® Weddings agency. I’ll take you into my world. Are you following me?
The first fairy godmother and her magic wand, I met her during a skills assessment. After 20 years as an executive in the pharmaceutical industry, I was in vital need of change. And that’s when this question came up: “What if you had a magic wand…”.

Without hesitation, I answered: “Wedding Planner”. It was a dream buried deep in my head, the kind you don’t dare believe or talk about. But there is a gulf between working in the industry and being an entrepreneur in the event business. And you have to dare to jump.

That’s where the second fairy godmother comes in: Élodie Villemus. She gave me a chance and I joined her team. Thanks to her, I jumped over the abyss.
In the story, we must not forget Prince Charming: my husband. He supports me every day in this new adventure.

I love life, love, happy events, helping, pleasing, organizing. I wanted to be in direct contact with the client and manage my own business, to be the actor of my own life. This is what I’ve done with this job. Thanks to Élodie who trusts me and my husband who supports me, I am making my dream come true. I thank them for that.

My goal is to help you, future bridegrooms, to live a unique experience, to relieve you of the organisational and time-consuming side of the preparations, to reduce the stress of the D-day so that you can enjoy it. I am at your side. I listen to you, I guide you towards what you wish and desire in order to organise an unforgettable wedding and above all one that resembles you.

I am rigorous, organised and pragmatic and I know how to be discreet, the woman behind the scenes who makes sure that everything goes according to plan. Thanks to a unique methodology: the French Wedding Industry®, I leave no room for doubt and vagueness. The organisation of your event is precise and respects your budget.

I love the details that make the difference and make your wedding unique. The Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region offers many advantages for the organisation of events.

It is possible to get married in all seasons. Summer or winter, you will always find a castle, estate, chalet, orangery, meadow, lake… to welcome you and your guests and celebrate your D-day. Why not say yes in the middle of winter in the snow (my favourite)? In spring in one of the many water cities of the region? In summer in the middle of the Auvergne Volcanoes or on the banks of a lake like Annecy? In autumn in the middle of the Beaujolais vineyards? You are spoilt for choice.

This is the end of my story… I am ready to listen and write part of yours: that of your wedding.
