Parakosmos
Greek for “realm of imagination,” Parakosmos is where timeless design meets effortless celebration. I plan and design destination weddings across Lebanon, Greece, Portugal, Italy, and beyond — creating events defined by ease, intimacy, and understated luxury. Every celebration begins with your story. I listen, observe, and translate your vision into a day that feels uniquely yours — through thoughtful design, seamless logistics, and an atmosphere that invites genuine connection. My background in interior design shapes the way I approach weddings: with balance, intention, and an eye for detail that transforms spaces into unforgettable experiences. It’s where creativity meets precision, and no two celebrations ever look or feel the same. This is barefoot luxury: refined yet relaxed, grounded in meaning, and designed to be remembered. Inspired by my couples’ stories, I approach each celebration with a genuine passion for people and a love for perfecting even the smallest details. With an emphasis on quiet elegance, my aesthetic evokes feelings of warmth, intimacy, and balance. As a meticulous planner with a design eye, I love nothing more than bringing your dreams and big visions to life.
The Experience
Planning your wedding is more than a series of logistics. It’s an emotional, creative, and deeply personal journey. This is why everything begins with connection. When you inquire, we’ll start with a relaxed virtual conversation, an open space to share ideas, ask questions, and explore what feels true to you. I’ll listen closely to what inspires you, because these early moments shape the direction of your celebration. From there, I craft a personalized proposal and a custom quotation designed around your priorities and the type of experience you want — whether your wedding is local or a destination celebration abroad. Every couple is different. Every wedding is different. And that’s exactly how it should be.
The Process
Connect
We begin with a relaxed conversation, a chance to get to know each other, explore ideas, and share your vision for the celebration ahead.
Curate
I create a tailored proposal and quotation that reflect your needs, priorities, and design direction, ensuring every element aligns seamlessly with your vision.
Create
Together, we bring it all to life. From the earliest sketches to the final toast, I handle every detail with precision and care so you can focus on what truly matters: being present, and celebrating fully!
Testimonials
99% of why the wedding was as great as it was, is You Hanine. Started off thinking: "of course l can do it, how hard can it be", and got to "maybe don't do a wedding, this is too difficult to manage" to finding you! And it was SO much fun to plan it with you!!! You kept us in the loop, gave us a reality check on how we set out wanting this wedding to be whenever we (ok I) went too creative. I think besides marrying the love of my life and having an epic night will never forget, getting to know you was just the best cherry on top! You're an amazing organizer that made magic happen, and an even more amazing friend
Always charming and smiling. No request was too much trouble! Hanine handled all the details of our special day so professionally allowing us to enjoy the festivities worry free.
Youuu amazingggg human!!! Put aside all the just-perfect planning, it was such a pleasure getting to know you and working with you. Everyone expected would be a bridezilla, but that is not possible with you there! Adnan and are both super happy to have met you and the team!!
They were very accommodating to the changes that we made. On the day of the event everything ran smoothly and they solved all issues before we could even notice (a whole macarons tower collapsed and they managed to reassemble it immaculately and in time for the dessert table). We couldn’t have asked for better planners! Would absolutely recommend them to anyone for planning weddings (or other events!)
We were so grateful to have Hanine coordinate our day and we couldn't be happier with the way it all turned out. She looked at our space in the months leading up and knew exactly how to make it work for our reception. She has a real creative eye for styling and is super organised she practically built our budget sheet and timeline for us and helped us with things we didn't even realise we needed so it was a relief having her. To finish off she gave us a beautiful card and gift to congratulate us as newly weds.. I don't think there's many out there like her!
Dear Hanine, We can't thank you enough for all your help & support throughout one of the most special days of our lives. You're an outstanding person with extra ordinary grace & magical organizational skills. Although we've known each other for a brief time, it feels we've been friends for years. When thinking of who should be there on our wedding day. we recieved a valuable piece of advice from one of our parents: "Have the people that will be with throughout your marriage there" you And boy oh boy did we luck out with you. Here's to a friendship that will go on forever, we are so grateful. Thank you x 10000 M&R
It was amazing to get to know you, amazing work, perfect planning and funniest moments
They say be careful not to turn into a bridezilla during wedding planning. I would double down on this if planning with Hanine becaause she will make you feel like the most important person on Earth and that no one else matters as much as you do. HOWEVER, she will set you straight as needed (and I needed it ha!). BEst decision was to hire Parakosmos Events!
Hanine was our hero wedding planner throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she had our backs, and that meant a lot to us. ❤️ When those last-minute curveballs and challenges came our way, she was right there efficiently resolving them and alleviating the stress by saving the day. What truly set her apart was the personal touch she brought to her service. Interacting with her didn't feel like dealing with a faceless corporate entity. Instead, it felt like a genuine, human connection. This added a special and reassuring dimension to the experience. For those in search of a wedding planner who combines professionalism with a personal touch, she is the perfect choice. Our Athens wedding was made all the more memorable thanks to her dedication and expertise. We wholeheartedly recommend her services.
