Magician, singer, combi bar, chef… Here are our 5 favorites for a successful wedding at the MEETT wedding fair

• A magician to liven up the party

Thanks to Thierry Geoffre, the wedding ceremony immediately becomes magical. For more than 10 years, this man has been offering personalized entertainment tours through which he highlights love. “I use cards a lot and I rely on the mentalism of the public to perform my magic tricks. In general, it is very popular,” he admits. Wandering among the guests, the magician intervenes from the reception “to break the ice between people who often do not know each other. So I have a unifying role, I am there to mix the guests together. Magic is a support that creates conviviality,” he assures. Over the course of a year, Thierry Geoffre spreads his good humor in around fifteen weddings. Each time, he never loses sight of the fact that this day is that of the bride and groom, “I’m not here to offer a magic gala but rather to put a little more magic into this day which already is”, concludes. he.

• A tailor-made suit to be the most beautiful

For men who are not used to wearing suits (and for others too), the By Monsieur company offers to create the complete groom’s outfit together. This formula includes the tailor-made suit, shirt and bow tie. “We are a professional stylist, which has a great impact in terms of advice and support” announces Hugo Lacoste, the creator of the brand. Indeed, By Monsieur develops the costume that will best suit the groom based on his eyes, hair, skin color… but also the location, theme and atmosphere of the ceremony. “When the bride and groom arrive with bad ideas, especially for those for whom the suit is a big first, we try to redirect them towards what could be better in relation to the dress of the future bride in particular,” adds Hugo Lacoste. Know that this year, sage green and olive suits, as well as beige and sand are very trendy.

• A chef in the kitchen to delight the guests

Laurent and Véronique Humbert, brother and sister, joined forces to create the LVH Traiteur brand, in Bragayrac, southwest of Toulouse, in 2014. They cater for around thirty weddings every year. Rewarded with the title of Euro-Toques France chef in 2022, Laurent Humbert makes it a point of honor to cook mainly fresh products. “Everything is homemade. We work a lot with small producers to create refined but simple cuisine,” assures the private chef. On the bride and groom’s plate, we find eggs confit with truffles, langoustine ceviche, lamb shanks cooked in 10 hours and mounted desserts for dessert. “The weddings we work on are limited to 300 guests. At our place, the waiters are in suits and white gloves,” explains Laurent Imbert.

Jérémy Vellarino has been singing since the age of 5. It was therefore quite natural that he created “By Jimmy”, a company through which he offers musical entertainment at weddings. “I don’t have a particular style. I sing everything: French and international variety… I love to please people and make the most beautiful day of their lives unique”, assures this enthusiast, who produces around twenty events per year. Jérémy Vellarino has more than one string to his bow since, for 4 years, in addition to singing, he has developed other services such as the rental of furniture including nomadic tents, decorations, tableware and offers support services turnkey for the entire wedding organization.

• A chic and retro nomadic combi bar

For three years, Anne-Claire and Charles Leroy have been delighting weddings with their two VW Beer’n Combis, transformed into a traveling bar. With their four artisanal and local and organic beer and soft drink taps for the majority, these vintage trucks from the 70s, cream white, bring a friendly, elegant and original touch much appreciated by guests who love to photograph themselves alongside them. “They are also restoring the nobility of beer, which is a fairly popular drink,” recognizes Anne-Claire. The couple started with a small collectible ladybug “to accompany the bride and groom. This time, we wanted to develop the drinks entertainment side”. Their jumpsuits are present at around forty weddings every year. “We love participating in these beautiful moments of life and creating the event and the connection,” concludes Anne-Claire.
