Our Sponsors/Nos Partenaires: parisian events


My name is Kim Petyt, and I’m an American wedding planner in Paris. I’ve been creating events for almost 10 years, both in the U.S. and in France, and am the Owner and Managing Director of a full-service wedding and event planning agency called parisian events. We cater to the English-speaking community in Paris - people who either live here on a long-term basis, or come to Paris just to celebrate their wedding or special event. Our specialty is combining traditional American elements with classic Parisian elegance.




When my husband and I decided to get married 10 years ago, we were living in San Francisco. I thought it would be fun and romantic to plan a destination wedding in France. Back then, there weren’t really any wedding planners in France, and so I ran into a lot of confusion, mis-communication and just general chaos as I tried to organize my overseas wedding. At the time, I was planning social and non-profit events in San Francisco, and I thought then that if I ever moved to Paris, I would start a business for other American “Brides In Need” like myself. It was something that I had always kept in mind, so after we moved here and the children were a little bit bigger, I did some research and felt that the need was still there, so I started parisian events five years ago.



parisian events isn't just weddings though! Kim offers full-range planning for all sorts of events from birthday parties to business conferences from baby showers to charity balls, parisian events specializes in fresh, stylish, “oh la la” events that keep guests talking for ages after! You can catch up with Kim and her observations on recent trends, discoveries, great party ideas and lots more on her blog parisian party.



Thank you Kim for your support of Cupcake Camp! And we look forward to giving away your wonderful gift basket of goodies for a perfect Paris party or picnic!

Je m’appelle Kim Petyt, et je suis une américaine qui organise des mariages à Paris. Depuis 10 ans je crée des événements aux Etats-Unis ainsi qu’en France et je suis la managing directrice de mon propre Enterprise, parisian events. Nous aidons les Anglophones à Paris – soit des gens qui habitant ici soit des gens qui viennent juste pour un événement spécial. Nous sommes connus pour nos mélanges des traditions américaines et l’élégance parisienne.

Quand mon mari et moi, nous avons décidé de se marier il y a 10 ans, nous habitions à San Francisco. Je pensais qu’il aurait été romantique de se marier en France. A l’époque il n’y avait pas beaucoup des organisateurs pour des mariages dans ce pays, donc il y avait plein des erreurs de des frustrations pendant mon essaie de tout organiser des Etats-Unis. Je faisais des événements sociales et bénévoles à San Francisco et j’ai pensé que j’allais lancer une entreprise en France pour organise les mariages si jamais j’habitais en France. Je l’ai gardé en tète et quand nous avons déménagé en France et nous enfants ont agrandi un peu, j’ai commencé Parisian events il y a 5 ans.

Mais Parisian events organise plus que des mariages. Kim vous offert ses expertises pour toute sorte des événements comme des anniversaires, conférences, bals, etc. Spécialiste de tout qui est frais, à la mode, “oh la la,”, ces événements ne sont pas vite oubliés. Suivez tout ce que Parisian events fait sur leur blog parisian party.
Merci Kim pour votre soutien et nous avons hâte de donner votre panier des merveilles fait pour un piquenique parfait!
