Des souvenirs mémorables, des images à couper le souffle et une cérémonie face aux douves du Château…. un mariage de rêve!
Des souvenirs mémorables, des images à couper le souffle et une cérémonie face aux douves du Château…. un mariage de rêve!
Issue d’une formation hôtelière, j’ai entre autre participé à la réouverture du Château d’Ouchy en 2008. j’ai profité de ces années pour peaufiner mon expérience professionnelle et voyager, ensuite j’ai repris la gérance du bar à vin le Midi 20 à Lausanne et j’ai continué de me former à d’autres activités professionnelles qui me passionnent. Aujourd’hui je peux dire que j’exerce par envie et passion et je suis très fière d’avoir crée cette identité professionnelle qui me correspond totalement.
C’est un des jours les plus marquant dans notre parcours de vie et nous pouvons ressentir tout le soin porté à chaque détail par les mariés, organiser des mariages c’est participer à célébrer l’amour, l’union de deux familles aussi , c’est participer à faire de ce jour un souvenir qui restera gravé et qui se transmettra.
Mon rôle consiste à être attentive à ce que chaque souhait des mariés discutés auparavant soient réalisés, que chacun puisse se consacrer exclusivement à ce moment sans se soucier de l’organisation, je serai le pont entre tous les acteurs de cette journée pour veiller à ce que chacun puisse jouer de son instrument et créer la mélodie qui été imaginé, comme un chef d’orchestre en toute discrétion et dévouée à répondre aux attentes des mariés et parfois même à les anticiper.
Il me parait essentiel de pouvoir les guider dans l’organisation de cette journée en amont, d’anticiper leurs attentes, les conseiller et les orienter de manière à ce que chaque étape de cette journée soit parfaitement orchestrée et qu’ils puissent véritablement se reposer sur l’équipe et profiter de leur mariage.
Enthousiaste, communicative, attentive et intuitive
être au service de ….
J’aime donner du sens à ce que je fais et avoir ce sentiment d’une journée accomplie que ce soit avec mon enfant, mon travail, mes proches, mes aspirations personnelles j’ai toujours une idée, un projet en cours et il inclut toujours d’autres personnes, créer du lien, tout tourne toujours autour de l’amour finalement 🙂
Toujours à fond dans mes activités professionnelles et passer 6 mois d’été en Suisse et 6 mois d’été en Afrique du Sud avec ma famille et mes amis..
J’aime gérer le déroulement de la journée et de faire en sorte que cela se passe sans encombres. Ce qui me touche particulièrement est de voir les clients comblés de bonheur et de me dire que je contribue à cela. Enfin j’ai une sensibilité particulière aux diverses formes d’esthétisme que requiert ce moment.
J’aime que les mariés puisse me faire confiance et qu’ils sachent que je suis disponible pour eux. Que le jour de leur mariage, ils puissent vivre leur journée en sachant que je gère les détails et que leur seule pensée soit de profiter de leur moment et de leurs êtres chers.
Généreuse, juste, organisée, joyeuse
Dans 10 ans, je me vois gérer mes enfants devenus adolescents et me réjouir d’organiser encore de beaux mariages dans ce domaine que j’affectionne.
Coming from the world of circus, dance and multimedia, the Lumen company based in Lausanne will take your guests on a luminous and musical adventure whatever the space and time available.
I speak French, English, German and Spanish, my preferred language. I would love to learn Portuguese. I enjoy cycling, fitness, nordic walking, which I can do around Portes des Iris, skiing and skating. I also enjoy gardening, cooking and going to the theater.
In my job, I am fortunate enough to be able to admire many of the culinary creations served to guests; when I can be a guest again, I enjoy eating fish and shellfish that I don’t often cook.
I have always worked in the hotel and event industry since I graduated from EHL – Hospitality Business School, but my passion is wedding planning.
Summer, when the wedding season is in full swing and I can make our bride and groom’s dreams come true.
I don’t like conflict and I don’t like it when the technique is lacking. But I have learned to deal with these elements over the years and I am able to surround myself with specialists and take things one step at a time, with calmness and diplomacy.
The first one! It was in the middle of winter with a lot of snow, more than 200 guests from all over the world and very demanding clients. A success, the bride and groom came back twice to Portes des Iris for the baptism of their children.
A Hindu ceremony where all the guests were seated on the floor, barefoot, around a monumental basin where a large fire was burning. All the women were adorned with gold jewelry, henna tattoos and shimmering colors.
Mounting a curtain in the Dorianna room to hide the 12-meter high beams or responding to the request of the bride and groom who wanted a majestic entrance for their cake, we proposed to open the removable part of the floor that is in the room and to make the cake enter by hoisting it up thanks to the pulley from the farm’s era. And when we have ceremonies on our terraces, we do everything to make sure that they take place outside despite the uncertainties of the weather, even if it means having to change locations several times.
Accompanying two people in all the organizational aspects of a day that marks a strong commitment. Each couple requires special attention and the relationship that is established and built with the bride and groom is always unique.
I would love to train adults in event management, take care of athletes at the Olympics or manage the accompaniment at children’s camps.
My name is Julie Haering, I am 24 years old and I have always lived in Sullens where I feel very well. After having made a very enriching commercial apprenticeship at Nestlé SA, in Vevey, I validated my knowledge by obtaining a professional commercial maturity in economy.
I then went to Sydney, Australia to study for 9 months. This experience not only allowed me to improve my English, but it also gave me the opportunity to live in a different environment, far from home, and tested my ability to adapt to a new country and a new culture. It also gave me a new perspective on my country and allowed me to appreciate and take pride in the wonderful qualities of Switzerland, which I now love even more!
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, whether it be over a good meal, with a tennis racket in hand, or on a mountain top hiking.
I was told by the job by a friend of mine who was an intern at Portes des Iris. We talked a lot about her work and her tasks. I immediately wanted to discover this fantastic place for myself and I applied to take over her position when she left.
First of all, I did a one-year internship which allowed me to familiarize myself with the event part, Portes des Iris, and the tourist part of the domain, Château de Vullierens. Then the activities developed and a position was created and given to me in 2018.
I was attracted by the diversity of events as well as the 5* service that Portes des Iris offers. As for the Château de Vullierens, its family history and heritage immediately motivated me, followed by the variety of activities offered at the estate. Whether you come with family, friends, as a couple or solo, there is always something new to do and discover. Also, after 3 years of experience in a multinational company, I wanted to find a smaller and more family-oriented structure.
I take care of everything that concerns Château de Vullierens, the leisure part of the domain. My activity is divided into 2 main sections:
The second point is the part that occupies me all year long between preparation, opening period and closing. My main activities include the recruitment of the staff for the season, the search for suppliers for our store, the creation of a program of entertainement, the logistics of the installation of the sculptures, etc. For the marketing: the management of social networks and the website, the printing of various supports as well as the contact with the press and the tourist offices.
On the other hand, I also support the event team of Portes des Iris when necessary.
The diversity of tasks without any hesitation! At Château de Vullierens, there is no day that is the same! When I arrive in the morning, I never know how the day will go and that is precious, no routine possible. I also really appreciate being on site, during the big opening days, coordinating the different activities planned, managing the staff, solving unforeseen problems and, of course, informing the visitors. Watching them leave with stars in their eyes is my greatest reward.
Château de Vullierens has become an experience and not just a visit to a beautiful garden and iris field. There is now something for everyone: wine lovers, art lovers, culture lovers and flower lovers as well as families and groups. The development has also been felt in our entertainment program, which has been greatly enriched by offering activities throughout the year (such as an open air cinema, wine tours, children’s days with foodtrucks in the courtyard of the Château or an immersive show by night). I have also noticed that the clientele is getting younger, especially thanks to the different activities for families that we have been offering recently and I am very happy about that!
My job depends on the weather, so it requires a lot of anticipation and adaptation. That makes it special because it’s an element that you can’t control and that will always have the last word.
It’s hard to choose between peonies and dahlias… In my garden, dahlias win for their crazy but perfect side! Indeed, their unusual size, their bright colors and their harmonious petals please me a lot. Hundreds of varieties exist, from bright to pastel, offering a complete palette of shapes as surprising as they are beautiful. It is also a flower that blooms in summer, my favorite season.
I must admit that I started to be more interested in art when I arrived at Château de Vullierens. Indeed, the 85 sculptures scattered in the gardens did not leave me indifferent because of their size, their history and the way they make the space come alive. I particularly appreciate the work of the Belgian artist Pol Quadens, present in the gardens since 2018. His two monumental stainless steel pieces offer visitors a thousand and one reflections on what surrounds them.
From a professional point of view, it’s hard to say. I will certainly still be in the tourism business, but who knows, maybe abroad and not in Switzerland. But I am convinced that it will be in a position that will bring me a lot of pleasure and fulfillment, as it is the case now. It is very important for me to do something that stimulates me and that I enjoy. On the private side, I hope that by then I will have created my little family and will still have a great time discovering the world with my loved ones. And if we were to look at it again in 10 years, maybe I would still be at the Château de Vullierens?
I am more and more attracted by manual jobs, jobs in the field. I realize that I am not made for sitting in front of my screen for 8 hours. Paradoxically, I would like to go into statistics.
