A Destination Wedding for an amazing Monaco couple, Melissa & Dean by Celebrity Wedding Planner Tiffany Cook



Talk about a destination wedding planning... this couple resides full time in Monaco yet had their amazing wedding in the states! So the majority of my planning was done with the bride & groom from afar yet it seemed as if we were sitting next to each other. Thank god for modern technology! 


What a fabulous couple! Friends and family flew in from all over the world for their 
Alice in Wonderland meets Midsummer Night's Dream destination wedding. The ceremony was held on a private beach with the most beautiful sky.

From a design aspect this wedding was extra fun, being able to create something glamorous yet fun and whimsical was a blast. Using Astro Turf (yes I said Astro Turf) to cover the entire ballroom floor was a career first, but in the end it created the color contrast & impact I was looking for!

To create the stunning design for this reception and customize the look I mixed all types of furniture from the custom acrylic tables we manufactured to mirrored and white tables along with a mix of seating options with chairs and banquette sofas.

Who says you can't mix moss and crystals together, they worked perfectly for our custom table name design. The mix of these elements that you would not normally see together helped create the elegance and whimsy of this wedding design. I love using mixes of textures.

People often ask me what was the most challenging request or the most difficult to deal with for which I rarely have an answer because it is my job to tackle the challenges and deal with difficult. This particular groom put me to the test, he anted to book mLionel Richie for a suprise concert at the wedding. Not a stretch given my background and the amount of celebrity talent I have booked and produced entire concerts for, it was keeping it a secret from his bride. Keeping the secret part wasn't the challenge, but disguising the amount of time it took me to pull off and execute this fabulous surprise for the bride was the challenge. In the end with some creative side stepping (big smile) and a ver funny family friend we were able to completely surprise the bride & the wedding guests with a fantastic concert!


This extremely brave and funny friend of the couple pretended to take the mic and start signing the most awful rendition of a lionel Richie song to which I pretended to try to coax him off stage much to the brides dismay. In the smoothest of transitions flawlessly executed, thanks to my husband John Cook Lionel Richie took the stage right on queue.
