A Lausanne studio, three countries, and a stated dislike of weddings that feel like performances.
Daria Ovseenko plans destination weddings from Lausanne across Switzerland, France and northern Italy, with in-house floral design and seven languages between the team.
Daria Events & Weddings is Daria Ovseenko's studio, run from Lausanne in the Canton of Vaud and pointed at three countries: Switzerland, France and northern Italy. It moved to destination weddings exclusively in 2020, and most of its couples come from the United States and the United Kingdom, which makes the seven languages spoken in-house less of a boast than a working requirement.
The studio offers two things and does not pretend otherwise: full wedding planning, end to end, for couples planning from abroad; and event design and production, with the floral décor done in house. The portfolio runs from Lavaux's UNESCO vineyard terraces above Lake Geneva to Gstaad, Villars, Champéry, Bordeaux and Champagne.
Her position on the whole business is unusually direct. Too often, she writes, the essence of a wedding gets lost in the pursuit of perfection, and what should feel like a celebration turns into a carefully managed performance. The studio exists to prevent that.

Working with Daria was, hands down, the best decision my husband and I made while planning our wedding. I didn't see setup, I didn't see breakdown, I just saw magic.
She publishes guidance rather than a fee: roughly 1,200 to 1,600 EUR or CHF per guest for a one-day celebration, and 1,600 to 2,000 per guest for a multi-day wedding. That covers venue, catering, beverages, staffing, standard production and core vendor services.
Three: Switzerland, France and northern Italy. Some third-party listings claim central Italy, Tuscany and Umbria; her own site does not.
Nine to twelve months minimum, and alpine venues in peak season often need fourteen to eighteen. Her record is a full wedding planned in one month, which is not the recommendation.
Seven: English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese.
Her published collections generally include travel costs throughout the countries she covers.
Yes. Floral décor is designed and produced in house. Entertainment production is brought in from outside.

"Daria Ovseenko founded Daria Events & Weddings in Lausanne and moved it to destination weddings exclusively in 2020. She holds an MBA in finance and a wine and spirit qualification with hands-on experience across more than twenty European wine regions, which is a useful pair of things to know about a person planning a wedding in Lavaux. She is a certified destination wedding specialist through the EWPC. The studio began by bringing ballroom dancing events and debutante balls to Switzerland before moving fully into private celebrations, and it is recommended as a wedding planner by Switzerland Tourism."
