About L&J
Beauty, clarity and execution you can trust.
L&J Wedding Planner is a high-end wedding planning studio based in Germany, specializing in destination weddings, castle weddings and cross-cultural celebrations for Chinese-speaking couples across Germany and Europe.
Founded by Eva Li and Lukas Cheng, we understand how European venues, florists, photographers, caterers, musicians and other professional teams communicate and work. We also understand the language, culture, distance and execution pressure Chinese-speaking couples often face when planning a wedding in Europe.
Our work goes beyond creating beautiful visuals. We help turn wedding positioning, venue selection, design direction, vendor coordination and wedding day execution into a clear, reassuring and achievable experience.
Why we founded L&J.
We want couples and families planning from abroad to receive more than a beautiful concept: clarity, reliable communication and the feeling of being understood at every stage.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can we plan a wedding in Europe while living in China or abroad?
Yes. Early conversations, concept reviews, vendor coordination and timelines can be handled remotely. Depending on the location and planning stage, we also help arrange necessary site checks or final alignments.
Can we get married in Germany or Europe if we do not speak German?
Yes. We support communication with local venues and professional teams, and guide the planning process in Chinese, German and English.
Can you plan Chinese or Chinese-Western weddings?
Yes. We can thoughtfully combine tea ceremony, parent speeches, family traditions, Western ceremony formats and the atmosphere of a European venue.
What kind of budget should we expect?
Budget depends on country, city, venue, guest count, wedding scale and design complexity. After an initial consultation, we can give you a clearer budget direction.
Can you help with guest accommodation and transport?
Depending on the wedding location and guest count, we can provide recommendations for accommodation, transport and guest flow, and help connect relevant resources when needed.
Do you coordinate the wedding day on site?
Yes. On the wedding day, we work from the confirmed timeline and coordinate venue, florals, photo, video, catering, music and other partners to support the ceremony, dinner and guest experience.
What is the difference between civil registration and a wedding ceremony in Germany?
In Germany, civil registration and the wedding ceremony are usually separate steps. We can help you understand the basic flow and, where needed, recommend consulting official offices or qualified professionals. Our focus is ceremony planning, design, vendor coordination and on-site execution.
