"Alejandra, I truly want to thank you for organizing such an amazing birthday in Paris that was truly special. Even though I was in the US, I completely trusted your taste and recommendations, and I am so glad I did! When my guests and I walked in the museum we were in total awe. Your prompt answers to my phone calls and emails and enthusiastic spirit made this weekend event EXCEPTIONAL. The private visits to ateliers that you arranged were such a fun experience! The whole weekend was filled with surprises, from the visits to ateliers to the museums that you arranged. All were such a fun life-long experiences! If you ever want a recommendation you can have them contact me directly!"

“For events with distinction, look no further. Alejandra Events organized my dream wedding anniversary in Venice. With attention to the finest details and working diligently alongside the caterer, florist, musician and more, the event was a complete success! The venue was breathtaking and the VIP haute couture jewelry atelier she organized for my family was extraordinary. I highly recommend working with her because she makes you feel comfortable every step of the way and you can actually enjoy your event! I will never host another event without her. My friends are still talking about it…”

“Your impeccable taste and genius creativity were so incredible that we felt like on a cloud. You made building an Orangerie in our estate look easy. You made our wedding weekend such a magical experience, words cannot express our gratitude to you and your amazing team. Our guests say to us it was the funnest wedding they have ever been to and that they could never leave the dance floor!”

ELIZABETH AND STEVEN, USA

“There are no words to express how grateful we are for Alejandra and her team’s amazing professionalism and talent to take our vision to the next level with our four day destination event in Lake Como. The guests were pampered from the minute they got off the plane and every detail reflected our story and the guests said it was the funnest week of their lives. We enjoyed the planning process since everything was so seamless and creative! We can’t wait to plan another party soon with you!”

AMERICAN EMBASSY OF PARIS

“Thanks from the bottom of our heart for our "fairytale" chateau wedding! I feel like my wedding day wouldn’t have been as magical without Alejandra and her team. Even though there were 700 guests they were all treated as if we were having an intimate wedding. One of my highlights was our days together searching for the perfect wedding dress. The extravagant and lavish experience you gave us was beyond expectations. You will not regret hiring Alejandra and her staff, well worth the investment!”
-
SHAHAD & OMAR, KUWAIT

 "True grace under fire! There aren’t enough good things to say about Alejandra Poupel and the services her team provided for our wedding. Being thousands of miles away, we were able to utilize her knowledge and expertise to plan our dream destination wedding in Monaco, the most romantic city in the world, with no stress or concerns. The special attention you gave my grandparents by helping them enjoy their stay to the fullest for our big day made the evening so incredibly special. The decorations were beyond incredible, every detail was planned perfectly and we were able to be guest at our own wedding."

“You have given me a new definition to the word "world class event.” Welcoming guests from four continents and celebrating with such ease and flow made out weekend unforgettable for us and all our guests! You are the best.”

Where do you organise events?

Our events take us all over the globe. Our reputation combined with many years of networking and friendships allow us to deliver insider access to the world's most sought-after venues, especially monuments and private access locations. 

The cost of an event or wedding varies depending on your expectations and the scope of the event. We will guide you by creating a budget simulation that includes the estimated costs for the venue, event design, furniture rentals, stationery, event staff such as hostesses, entertainment and bands, photography and videography, and structures such as orangeries or tents.

Depending on the number of guests and the venue and country, these numbers vary. Typically our events start at approximately 4,000 per person. 

What is the cost of a luxury wedding or event? What do you charge?

I bring a unique mix of exuberance, soul, and couture sensibility to everything I do. I’m deeply passionate about making magic happen, and there’s truly nothing I won’t do to bring your vision to life.

No dream is too bold, no idea too intricate. I thrive on complexity and creativity, and I’ll be by your side every step of the way—problem-solving, cheerleading, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to ensure your celebration feels effortlessly you.

If you’re dreaming big, I’m ready to dream even bigger with you—and make it reality.


How do you find the world’s best venues?

With years of experience planning extraordinary events across the globe, we’ve built trusted relationships with luxury venues, private estates, five-star resorts, and historic properties worldwide. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic château in France, a seaside villa in Italy, a hidden gem in the Caribbean, or a modern architectural marvel in the heart of a city, we specialize in sourcing the perfect setting for your celebration.

Our approach is highly personalized—we consider your vision, guest experience, event size, and design goals before recommending curated options. From iconic destinations to exclusive venues not listed publicly, we leverage our global network and insider access to secure the most breathtaking and unique locations.

Let us help you find the venue that sets the stage for an unforgettable event.

Why should I hire you over another company?

My clients usually have incredible taste, and we have met some of our present trusted vendors when our clients refer us to high-quality creative partners. We would make sure that the vendor agrees to work with us before the event as we are accustomed to a lot of preparation work and would want to ensure they have our "teamwork is dream work" mentality.

Will you work with a vendor that I’ve already chosen? 

Absolutely. You can expect me as the lead planner and designer, with at least two of my event producers throughout. On the weekend of your wedding, we have additional associates on site.

Will I be working directly with you?

I worked in Christie's Art Auction House, which gave me an aesthetic eye, before I paused my professional life to raise my family. During those lovely years, I volunteered with many non-profit events and organically I was drawn towards the event planning field. Event planning joins my passions of constantly connecting with people, traveling, and renewing visions and unique memories!

Frequently Asked

PRIORITIZING INNOVATION
AP Events prioritizes social responsibility and places sustainability efforts at the forefront of their work as an organization.

Innovation and audacity have been the keys to Alejandra’s success. Her ability to set trends rather than follow them makes her one of the most sought-after event planners across Europe.

MINIMIZING CARBON FOOTPRINT
Alejandra carefully chooses the partners she works with to minimize environmental impact, resulting in numerous AP Events becoming ISO 2021 certified. The light and sound production companies that Alejandra collaborates with exclusively use LED lighting, which is 80% more energy-efficient than conventional bulbs. The production companies strive to use innovative equipment that saves energy. Most of her hotel partners have obtained LEED Certification, and nearly all transportation companies use hybrid energy vehicles to move around guests.

Alejandra has partnered with the Anne Fontaine Foundation, allowing her clients to offset the carbon footprint generated by their event through planting a set amount of trees in the Brazilian rainforests. 

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

GREEN OFFICE SPACE
AP Events believes in creating an eco-friendly office space. She holds both herself and her employees accountable to high sustainability standards. For example, specially installed bathroom fixtures reduce water usage by 20%, saving over 1 million gallons of water annually. The AP events team also reduced their lighting power usage by 25% in 2021, and plan to surpass that goal in 2022. Moreover, the office is designed to encourage employees to recycle and compost waste.

PROMOTING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Recycling is extremely important to Alejandra, and she seeks to recycle materials whenever possible. Alejandra strives to repurpose the floral decor after her events. Clients compost and repurpose flowers that would otherwise be thrown away and wasted by partnering with the Garbage Goddess and the Reflower Project. 
 
The Garbage Goddess composts flowers into fertilizer, creating topsoil that allows new living things to thrive and grow. Moreover, the Reflower Project repurposes flowers and delivers them to community centers such as non-profits, shelters, nursing homes, and cancer centers.

By choosing sustainable options and leading by example, we hope that other party planners will be inspired to take action and do the same.
