Why Grandes Fêtes?
Grandes Fêtes is French for “Big Events”, and owner Emily McMahon Wattez is a firm believer that all of life’s big events are worth celebrating! Emily has poured her energy and creativity into perfecting flawless celebrations, and her passion is to share her years of experience and knowledge with her clients so that they can enjoy life’s most monumental occasions.

At Grandes Fêtes we understand all of the love, sweat and tears that go into planning the perfect party. We are dedicated to making your planning process an enjoyable experience, and we want you to have a fantastic time at your celebration. Our job is to manage all of the details so that you can relax and take it all in!

What can we do for you?
We’re offering to take on as much or as little as you’d like during the planning process. Every event is unique, and the tasks that our clients need help with vary considerably. Some of our clients just need a little guidance, and some want everything plotted out and presented for them. Because of that our event coordination packages have been designed to fit a wide variety of budgets and needs. Contact us and we’ll chat about the best fit!

Who have we worked with?
We adore working with all of our social clients on their weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and birthday parties galore – and some of our amazing corporate clients include The Los Angeles Philharmonic, “Ellen” Digital Ventures, Campbell Hall Episcopal School, United Talent Agency, International Creative Management, Abrams Artists Agency, GRB Studios, and The Washbow.

Emily’s work has been featured in publications such as PEOPLE, BRIDES, the LA TIMES, INSTYLE WEDDINGS, STYLE ME PRETTY, BIZBASH, and WEDDING CHICKS.
