Perched high above the Mediterranean with sweeping views of the Côte d’Azur, Domaine du Mont Leuze set the stage for Kaitlin and Ian’s unforgettable destination wedding. This dynamic New York-based couple, both of Asian heritage, dreamed of a celebration that felt personal, meaningful, and utterly spectacular—and they delivered. With 80 of their closest friends and family flying in to the French Riviera, their celebration fused elegance, joy, and a touch of home in a truly magical way.
Good Vibes & Good Views: A Wedding to Remember
From the moment guests arrived, the energy was palpable. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by blooming gardens and panoramic sea views—a setting as romantic as it was cinematic. Kaitlin, deeply involved in the planning, curated a timeless yet modern aesthetic with warm tones, lush florals, and chic touches that reflected both French sophistication and the couple’s own spirited style.
As day melted into night, the atmosphere came alive. The bridal party played a key role in keeping the celebration electric, hyping the crowd and dancing with infectious energy. A standout moment? Kaitlin and Ian’s perfectly choreographed first dance, complete with dramatic lifts that had guests cheering and phones recording.
And in a playful nod to their roots, the couple surprised guests with a late-night snack of Chinese noodles—a delicious “clin d’œil” that was both nostalgic and crowd-pleasing.
The Dream Team Behind the Day
Planning such a seamless event from across the Atlantic required expert coordination, and Kaitlin couldn’t have been more thrilled with the team behind the scenes. “A big thank you to Natalie for everything you’ve done and making our wedding the best day ever!” the couple shared. “You were incredible and amazing, and none of it would have happened without you.”
Natalie from CC Weddings & Events orchestrated every detail with grace, ensuring the couple’s vision was flawlessly executed. The vendors brought artistry and heart to the celebration, from the stunning photography capturing golden hour kisses to the elegant floral design echoing the Riviera’s natural beauty.
