My name is Ketaka Rason. Of Malagasy descent, with Swiss citizenship, education and living experience from NYC, Paris, Geneva & Tokyo as well as project work experience from over 6 more countries in the world and extensive travelling throughout South East Asia these past 15 years. I am truly multicultural, in other words I am international. I embrace diversity and different cultures and my career
reflects this diversity; I am always eager and hungry to learn all any aspects of a person, of a business ... of anything. I connect with people, adapt to them and am appreciated! With over 15 years of experience in planning, organizing and problem solving to complete multiple deadline-driven projects efficiently and on time within different industries, I specialized in assisting CEOs and GMs in the management of their hectic daily professional and personal lives with dynamic diplomacy and in planning their big events as well. A key moment in my life was when my cousin and his partner asked me to be their wedding planner. Though they knew beforehand that I had always loved to plan weddings, I do not think they had an idea how happy I felt at that moment. It was if I was the one receiving the best thing ever…
They both speak and understand gazillions of languages, are successful financial MBAs who own homes in London, France and Luxembourg. They currently live in London but had decided to have their wedding where a big part of their heart lies, in Lacanau France. After 10 months together organizing their wedding, I never doubted I could not do it. But retrospectively, when I think of it, it sounded … unfeasible! A planner based Geneva Switzerland, the couple living in London and the wedding to be celebrated in the beautiful seaside Cap Cod-ish surf capital of France, namely Lacanau. That sounded crazy and incredible at the same time! But we did it. The more we planned, the more virtual and real meetings we had (sometimes, we had to manage meetings when the three of us would travel to different locations than the ones mentioned above!), the more the couple encouraged me to start my own business as a wedding planner. We pulled it off. Once the wedding was celebrated, once I saw how thrilled not only the couple was, but also their families and their dearest friends…that was it. They all thanked me in a way that brought me a sense of peace and my objective became chrystal clear. It felt like an epiphany, you know? It felt like I was at the right spot, that I was finally doing the right thing. It all made sense. It was my “Ah haa” moment. From there on, I decided to take things into my own hands and work with the CEOs of my choice. With the support of my cousin and his partner, and the support of my family and my business development coach and mentor I decided to become a wedding planner, The Wedding Planner of my own business.

I create weddings that amaze and instill memorable impressions on my clients and their guests alike. I also pride myself in creating perfect moods to suit unique occasions & venues and strive to ensure an unforgettably breathtaking experience. With regards to designs and creativity, I go out of my way to discover influences across the globe. Combined with my appetite for abundance, I like to think the natural outcome is stunning, elegant and unthinkable at the same time. In a nutshell, a statement and balance of luxury and tasteful swag. There is no detail that is overlooked, that is too tiny nor any whim too outrageous. I strive to work and surprise my clients with an obsessive devotion to consistent aesthetics and tastefulness; be it an impossible seeming idea to welcome guests at the foot of the Mont Blanc or the setup of the couples’ table – I treat everything as the “pièce de resistance” – a feast for all senses, a source of joy, fun and laughter. What separates me from other wedding planners is that I provide my clients with exactly what they are looking for, anticipate their unspoken whims and offer other services that they would have never dreamed of by cultivating difference, promoting open mindfulness and multiculturalism and by reinventing the codes of marriage. As a result, not only are their needs addressed but their expectations are fully managed and they will be able to fully enjoy their wedding day while sharing all the unforgettable moments with their loved ones without stress.
