Event planning franchise
We have been planning destination weddings across Europe since 2008. 18 years, more than 500 celebrations, in 19 countries. In 11 of them we keep a team of our own. Everywhere else, we would rather work with somebody who already knows the ground than arrive on it.
Where a franchise is available
Anywhere in Europe we do not already run ourselves. That is the whole rule, and it is not negotiable in either direction: we will not put a franchise into a country where our own team is working, and we are not holding any other country back.
Not available inFrance · Italy · Spain · Portugal · Greece · Croatia · Montenegro · Ireland · United Kingdom · Switzerland · Austria
If your country is not on that line, it is open. Write and tell us which one, and we will tell you what we already know about the market there.
Who this suits
Somebody already working in events, hospitality or travel in their own country, who wants the process and the name rather than the clients alone. You will need to be the person running it rather than an investor behind somebody who is: this is a business where the founder is on site at two in the morning in the first years.
We would rather have one partner in a country who is right than three who are available. There is no target number of territories and no rush to fill them.
What you get
The name
The trademark, the wordmark and the right to trade under them in your territory, on the same terms everywhere.
The way the work is done
The planning process this company has spent 18 years arriving at: the documents, the timelines, the budget model, the contingency planning, and the production paperwork that holds a wedding together on the day.
Training, and then the phone
A full training programme at the start, and people to call afterwards. The second matters more than the first. Nobody learns this in a week.
A site and the marketing behind it
Your territory on this site, written and photographed to the same standard as the rest of it, with the campaigns and the social material that feed it.
Work sent to you
Couples come to us for a country before they come for a company. Enquiries for your territory go to you, and when a client of yours marries somewhere we cover, that goes the other way.
The supplier base
More than 100,000 suppliers across Europe with what we have learned about each of them, which is the part that takes years to build and cannot be bought.
What it costs
An initial fee, set by the territory, and a monthly royalty and marketing contribution as a share of what the business bills. The figures depend on the country and on what is already there, so we quote them in the first conversation rather than publish a number that would be wrong for most of the people reading it.
Ask, and you will have the numbers for your country before you are asked for anything.
Ask about a territory
Tell us which country and what you have run. If you have a company profile or a business plan, attach it.
Thank you.
We have it, and somebody will read it properly. You will hear from us.
