who we are
Meet The Impeccable Pear
We could be a big part of your lives for quite a while - let us introduce ourselves so you know who we are…
Joanne Braham
I have been married to Jean-Marc (who is also our Ie Chef Impeccable) for over 19 years. We have 3 amazing children, so family is a big part of who we are.
We have lived in France for over 12 years and I have planned over 200 weddings. But when I'm not planning weddings, my passion is horse riding.
My background is in marketing and event management. I have a very varied and extensive portfolio. This ranges from large arena events, glitzy award ceremonies for 1500 guests, business networking clubs to even launching an oil dredger!
I adore making things happen. So, when an idea is born and comes to fruition there is nothing more rewarding. I am creative, edgy and full of energy and enthusiasm. Above all, I love exploring new ideas.
Victoria Engelen
In my professional life, I have juggled for over 9 years between meetings, conference calls, training and weddings. But I have come to a point in my life where I need to do what I LOVE! - And this is it.
Running my own business and working with a top American-French company has given me valuable experience and skills required for events. I am ambitious, creative, dynamic and always ready for a challenge. But most of all I am passionate. I absolutely love life and what I do.
I love animals, anything linked to nature and history! I do have a slight obsession for coffee, shoes and handbags. But who doesn’t, right? Oh, and my nails they MUST be styled.
My motto: “anything is possible”...
Some Fun Facts About Who We Are:
- Victoria makes an awesome espresso martini.
- We love pretty high heels. We can't walk in them, so we use them for decoration.
- Jo's indulgences are red wine and galloping around the countryside. - Her muse is in her stable!
- To chill out, Victoria has a zoo at home. It amounts to over 100 legs! Ask her if you want to find out more.
- We both love fizzy sweets and oysters.
"Joanne and all your amazing team, I cannot put into words how wonderful this week has been. - It's honestly been like a fairytale! Thank you for all your hard work. - Even down to the little details which have not gone unnoticed! Our wedding is something we will never forget - thank you again"
