MEET CLAIRE MARQUIS
I am a wedding & event designer creating intimate destination weddings for couples who care as much about connection as they do design.
My love for destination celebrations began while planning my own engagement in Oaxaca, Mexico. What started as a personal milestone quickly became a creative obsession. I found myself endlessly inspired by the process of discovering local artists, trusted vendors, and meaningful ways to celebrate within a place that felt entirely new to me.
Along the way, I realized I was just as interested in the people behind the experience as the experience itself. I became fascinated by finding talented creatives, understanding local traditions, and uncovering the details that make a destination feel truly special. What inspired me most was seeing how a celebration could honor both a couple’s story and the character of the place where it unfolds.

MY APPROACH
I believe the smallest details often create the greatest impact.
That belief continues to shape my work today. I’ve always felt that the most memorable celebrations are deeply connected to their surroundings. Whether through the food, architecture, landscape, or the artisans behind each detail, I love creating weddings that feel rooted in a sense of place while remaining entirely personal to the couple at their center.
When I began designing celebrations in Spain, I was drawn to the idea of creating weddings that felt less like events and more like a beautifully hosted weekend abroad. I wanted guests to feel immersed in the destination; from long meals and local cuisine to the colors, textures, and atmosphere that make each place unique. My goal is always to create a celebration that reflects your vision while honoring the beauty, culture, and people that make a destination unforgettable.
