Caroline Berthe – Franco/American wedding coordinator

Caroline Berthe, is a truly multi-cultural event planner.  She was born and grew up in the United States, so she has an innate understanding of the United States and American  expectations for service and standards of quality.  Caroline has lived in France for over 20 years, first spending 10 years in the Loire Valley castle region.  For the past 10 years, she has made her home in Paris.

Caroline has extensive experience in both the travel and event planning industry.  In her job at a high end American map company, she created regional maps of France highlighting the best castles for accommodations and the most savory restaurants and most interesting local activities.  She traveled throughout France, always keeping an eye out for businesses that go beyond the expectations and standards of savvy American travelers.

Caroline has been planning destination weddings since 2003 and quickly became the most experienced wedding planner in the country.  At the time, there were no other competitors to speak of, and only one or two years later did other wedding planners begin to appear on the scene.  Since the beginning, Caroline has specialized in destination weddings in France and Italy for American, British, Canadian and Australian couples.
