“No two couples are the same, so no two events should feel interchangeable.”
I came to event planning by way of Montego Bay, the Wharton School, and the trading floors of Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch before Paris became home. Equity derivatives taught me to assess a situation quickly, stay calm when the stakes are highest, and make confident decisions before a small issue becomes an expensive one.
People say I obsess over experiences and the senses that shape them. Guilty as charged. I start with the two of you and how you want the celebration to feel, then consider how light, music, food, scent, texture, and flow should work together.
That is why no two of my events feel alike. I would rather develop an idea for you than repeat what is already filling everyone’s feed.
The press calls, and I take the call. What matters more is that couples who could hire anyone still hand us their celebrations: proposals, weddings, anniversaries, and everything in between.
I laugh out loud, I stop to eat the cake, and my team knows to schedule an extra thirty minutes whenever a venue visit takes us past Chanel on rue Cambon.
The Experience
The full proposal, start to finish. A Rolls-Royce arrives at the Marignan Hotel. Up on the rooftop: white calla lilies, candlelight, and the Eiffel Tower lit against a deep blue Paris sky. A violinist plays her favorite song. He opens the Cartier box. Then — a private screening of the film he’d been secretly making for her. Champagne, the tower sparkling, and a moment to take it all in together.

“She arranged EVERYTHING”
“Two days before my proposal, the company I’d arranged everything with called and said they couldn’t do it. I’d flown from Amsterdam, rented a car, brought friends — and suddenly it was all falling apart. Then there was Chantelle. I was stressed, I’d already been let down, and I didn’t know how to trust anyone with 24 hours on the clock. But the warm welcome, the phone calls, the confidence — she gave me the feeling this would turn around. And it did. She arranged EVERYTHING, came up with new ideas, a whole plan from A to Z. I could not have had a better person than Chantelle.”

“Somehow she matched the previous high bar”
Our relationship with Chantelle and Kiss Me in Paris started years ago, when Eric planned a surprise proposal at the Hôtel Marignan Champs-Élysées — candles, a harpist, white and yellow roses on the terrace. Walking through the doors, I thought I was walking into heaven. This year, Eric went back to Chantelle for my 40th birthday, and somehow she matched the previous high bar: a surprise magician on the Debilly Bridge, a luxury picnic facing the Eiffel Tower with an artist painting us, a horse carriage at sunset, and private fine dining at Laperouse with our own butler. The whole day felt personalized and thoughtfully orchestrated. Over the years, we’ve become friends. For anyone wanting to celebrate something important in Paris — from personal experience — Chantelle and her team deliver.

“All we had to do was ask, ‘Where do you want me?’”
“Planning a wedding across different cities, time zones, and languages felt impossible — until Chantelle and her team made our Plaza Athénée celebration something beyond what we’d imagined. She coordinated across English and Russian, always keeping Mila’s vision front and center. Her connections in Paris are unparalleled — makeup artists, photographers, videographers, vintage cars, musicians, dancers, florists, lighting experts — she brought together a dream team. On the day, all we had to do was ask, ‘Where do you want me? When do you need me?’ No stress, no last-minute panic. What sets Chantelle apart is that she listens — patient, flexible, and always adapting.”

Quoted in independent reporting
“Our clients, they don’t want it necessarily for Instagram, but they want it as a bragging moment for their friends, their circle, (to) say, ‘Oh, guess what I did for my proposal.’” — Chantelle Streete, quoted by AFP (France 24, Barron’s, Hindustan Times, and others)”In another high-spec proposal production, a couple visited an art gallery featuring a painting hidden under a veil. The gallerist agreed to uncover the artwork, revealing to the bride-to-be a painting that depicted them in that very moment. Weeks earlier, the hopeful groom had planned the clothes they would wear, imagined the scene, and commissioned the painting. She turns around, he’s down on one knee and she’s very emotional.”
