International Wedding Planner In Korea: meet our French director
INTERNATIONAL WEDDING
PLANNER IN KOREA
MEET OUR FRENCH DIRECTOR
Bonjour,
My name is Elodie and I’m
the director in charge of international couples at Wedit.
I come from France, which
means that I have a great sense of what is “Chic and Tasty” but I’m also from
the Caribbean which means that I’ve got an even better sense of how to party!
My adventure with Wedit started at the beginning of 2019.I know it might sound
surprising but for me working at Wedit isn’t a coincidence since I patiently
prepared for 2 years to apply and came to Korea with the only goal of getting
hired at this company.
The reason for such a unique
purpose was that I believed Wedit was the only company that truly wanted to
change the wedding culture in Korea but also paid a special attention to
international couples, knowing that they have different expectations from
Koreans.
I know what you might be
thinking: who is crazy enough to move on the other side of the world just to
work for a wedding startup company? Well I guess….. Me ^^
My background in interior design and in textile design as well as my experience in the hosting industry in Paris gave me strong base for this work.
My interest in wedding
planning started to grow when I did a collaboration with the French magazine Marie
Claire Idées.
Marie Claire’s editorial team contacted my university to work
together on their issue of May-June 2013 and gave us the opportunity to create
a beautiful project inspired by the theme of wedding.

I designed a photobooth made in paper, inspired by nature and floral cutouts that bride and grooms could make themselves as a DIY project for their wedding.
This project gave me a lot of motivation to pursue a career in the wedding industry.

After one year working at
Wedit, I’ve learned and experienced so much that I’m now sure that my
determination to be a part this company was the best decision I took in my life.
My first year as a wedding director was incredible and I’ve
been lucky to work with adorable brides & grooms. They each had they own
color, their own dream event in mind. I’m grateful for the trust they did put
into me for taking care of one of the most important day of their life.

A big part of my work relies on communication. I regularly need to be in touch with my brides and grooms who often live abroad as well as I need to have a good contact with my vendors (koreans and foreigners) in order to successfully prepare each project. For this, I mostly communicate in English and Korean with my clients and vendors but sometimes I get the opportunity to use my mother tongue, French.
I’ve been told by all the vendors I’ve worked with that I’m the only foreigner /westerner doing this work in Korea. I guess I should be proud of this title. In fact, it makes me really motivated to keep trying my best and share with them my knowledge of foreign wedding's culture so that they could also understand better international couples.
As a foreigner working in the wedding industry, in Korea, things could be challenging time to time but with the
support of Wedit team I was able to bring joy and happiness to the couples I
worked with.
