Assetou Gaudissard, French Wedding and Event Planner in NYC

New York Paris Connection

I am an Event Planner and have 10 years of professional experience in Public Relations and Special Events. I managed many national and international events for major companies such as the Stade de France, AOL Time Warner and Paris Musées.

I came to New York in 2007 and in 2011 I founded my company specialized in private and corporate events.

You and your company…

What do you have to offer – services, products, activity?

New York Paris Connection is an Event Planning Agency based in New York City. It is aimed primarily at French speakers from all over the world who wish to celebrate a unique event in spectacular NYC. Being on site is a real comfort for my clients located thousands of miles away and/or for those who do not speak English.

I offer two types of services: private and corporate event planning.

As a Wedding Planner, I guide and assist the Bride and Groom throughout the whole wedding organization process and I help them with all aspects of the wedding day coordination. I also have a partnership with a wedding planner based in Paris to organize destination weddings and offer to American people a full wedding planning service in France.

As an Event Planner, I partner with companies and agencies using my knowledge of New York as well as my close relationship with high-quality vendors.

What is the spirit, the nature of your business? What categorizes it?

My goal is to create and organize customized, unique and exceptional events.

Quality, creativity and professionalism are the three values that characterize my business today.

I use my outgoing personality and love of planning to meet the needs of my clients in making each event a success.

Why did you decide to settle in New York?

To have an experience abroad. To learn about another country, another culture, and at the same time to take a step back and understand my own country, France.

What advice would you give to those who want to move to New York?

“Life is a challenge to rise, a joy to deserve, an adventure to try.”

New York and you…

What do you like in New York?

The energy, the dynamism, the diversity and the culture.

What is your favorite NY city or surrounding area?

Upper East Side for my day-to-day activities, Harlem to get back to my roots, Central Park to rest, Bryant Park for lunch, The Meatpacking District and Soho for nightlife, Times Square for its constant craziness.
