A celebration where you are a guest

The point of a milestone abroad is that you enjoy it. We orchestrate the celebration end to end — a private estate or island, an officiant who travels, a planner on the ground, and access to venues that decline public inquiries — coordinating the welcome dinner, the ceremony and the days around it with discreet vendors vetted over four decades, in the finest luxury hotels in the area.

Coordinating many households

From a dozen guests to well over a hundred, departing different cities on different days, we map every household's flights, time arrivals so no one waits, and stage transfers, suites and a shared itinerary that still allows privacy.

Full venue and estate buy-outs

For a landmark gathering we reserve villas, private islands and estates exclusively for your group, with private events, transfers and the on-the-ground team arranged so you simply enjoy it.

Chefs, sommeliers and named talent

We commission private chefs, sommeliers and named performers — a recording artist, a chamber ensemble, a Michelin kitchen brought to your villa — negotiating discreetly and rehearsing the evening so the surprise lands.

What it typically starts from

As an indicative guide, a luxury destination celebration typically starts from around US$100,000, scaling with the guest count, the venue and the production. We share a starting range early and never quote a final, all-in figure until the event is designed.
