Daria Events & Weddings specialises in full-service destination wedding planning and event design for international couples — primarily from the United States and United Kingdom — planning celebrations in the Swiss Alps, Lake Geneva region, French Champagne, Bordeaux, and the French-Swiss border area. The studio was founded by Daria Ovseenko, who holds an MBA in Finance from EU Business School and a Wine & Spirit degree with hands-on experience across 20+ European wine regions. The studio offers two core services: Full Wedding Planning (end-to-end coordination from venue sourcing to wedding-day execution) and Event Design & Production (creative direction, florals, tablescapes, lighting, and in-house floral décor). The team communicates in 7 languages — English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese — and works with a curated network of trusted local vendors across Switzerland and France. Budget guidance: from CHF/EUR 1,200 per guest for a one-day celebration. Planning lead time: minimum 9–12 months recommended; Alpine peak-season venues require 14–18 months.
