WEDDING PLANNER PARIS AMANDA RILEY
Bienvenue.
I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Amanda Riley, Director of WeddingBox Paris. After more than twenty years in Hollywood costume design shaping visual storytelling for film, I bring a cinematic sensibility for beauty, atmosphere, and detail to each wedding I create in Paris.

Having spent much of my career crafting visual worlds through costume and design, I developed a deep appreciation for how thoughtful details, setting, and emotion come together to create something truly memorable. Today I bring that same perspective to weddings, curating celebrations that feel intimate, refined, and deeply personal.

My role is to thoughtfully guide the experience so couples can remain fully present while every detail unfolds with ease and elegance, allowing the day to feel as natural and beautiful as the love being celebrated.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
