RPZ Events

RPZ Events' own page title, the text that shows up in a browser tab or a search result, reads "RPZ Events | Wedding & Corporate Event Planner Geneva." That dual identity is not something read into the site; it is the business's own label for itself. The portfolio backs it up, though not evenly. Of the 9 case studies published there, 3 are weddings, and none of the 3 happened in Switzerland: one in Verneuil-sous-Coucy, France, one in Trevol, France, and one at Tratzberg Castle in Innsbruck, Austria, for 150 guests. Every case study set in Switzerland on the same page, an "Out of Africa" themed cocktail party for 150 people, a Ruinart and Jeppe Hein installation at Art Basel, an artist dinner for 30 tied to the same fair, a private dinner for 50 in Geneva, a Bvlgari boutique cocktail for 20, and the Bal du Léman for 200 guests at the Château de Coppet, is corporate or private-party work, not a wedding. So the title at the top of the page and the geography of the actual work line up in an odd way: the home-turf entries are champagne brands and art fairs, and the weddings the business can point to all happened somewhere else in Europe.

The person behind all of it is named consistently as Natacha Roumiantzoff, in the site's headline, its biography page title and its footer, with one exception worth flagging rather than resolving: the site's own sitemap gives one image on the biography page the caption "Biography of Event Planner, Natacha de Habsbourg Lorraine," a different surname that appears nowhere else on the site. What the biography page does explain clearly is her route into the job. Born in Paris, she spent her formative years in Switzerland, then went on to an MBA in business administration, specialised in management, studied between Paris and New York, and worked for the United Nations and UN Women, where she helped organise the General Assembly in New York. That is a diplomatic and institutional background rather than a hospitality one, and it shows in the client names the site states outright: Bvlgari, Ruinart and Art Basel, 3 names a couple would recognise from luxury retail and the art world, not from a bridal fair. The same page states she works fluently in French, English, Dutch and Spanish, with a working understanding of Italian as well, a genuine multilingual claim that matters more to this tenant's own non-Swiss-resident reader than any adjective on the homepage does.

The homepage names exactly 3 services, Anniversary Celebrations, Corporate Events and Wedding Planner, each with its own short paragraph of what is included, and reading the 2 event-planning paragraphs side by side is instructive. Corporate Events lists 9 named components: event conceptualization, venue selection and logistics, registration, catering selection, audiovisual and tech support, entertainment coordination, branding, event marketing and on-site event management. Wedding Planner lists 5: organising a romantic proposal, a rehearsal dinner, the wedding day itself, hotel logistics and transportation. It is a shorter paragraph describing a shorter list, and next to the corporate description it reads like the business has spent more time specifying exactly what a corporate client is buying than what a wedding client is.

No published price, no package, no minimum

None of the site's content pages, Home, Biography, Portfolio or Future Booking, states a fee. There is no percentage, no flat planning charge, no hourly rate, no minimum spend and no named package tier anywhere, for a wedding or for corporate work. What the site does put on every page it configures a header for is a button labelled "Free consultation." Click it and, as of this write-up, it returns a 404: a page titled simply "RPZ Events" with a "not found" message, the link pointing to a /consultation page that does not exist on the live site. That is a small, fixable thing rather than a sign the business itself has stopped operating; the same phone number and email, +41 79 726 34 44 and natacha@rpz-events.com, appear in the footer of every page, and the sitemap shows the Biography, Portfolio and Future Booking pages were all last edited on the same day in December 2025. But the one advertised free way to open a conversation currently goes nowhere, so email is the route that actually works.

The Future Booking page itself carries a title tag naming weddings specifically, "Book Wedding Design & Planning," yet the 2 sentences visible on the page never mention a wedding at all: "Let us organize an unforgettable event for you! Entrust us to craft your next extraordinary occasion, from corporate gatherings to private celebrations." It is a short page built to route an enquiry rather than to sell one kind of event, but it is one more instance of the wedding half of this business reading thinner than the corporate half wherever the site is checked closely.

Silent on the paperwork, plain on the language

On the paperwork a foreign couple has to clear to marry legally in Switzerland, apostilled civil-status documents, certified translations, the civil preparatory procedure, the site says nothing at all across any of its 4 pages. That silence does not tell a couple whether RPZ Events handles this step, refers it out, or expects the couple to sort it themselves; it is a genuine gap to raise directly rather than an answer either way. On the language a wedding runs in, the site is more specific, even though the specifics sit on the biography page rather than the wedding service description: French, English, Dutch and Spanish fluently, plus a working understanding of Italian. Nothing on the site states which of those Natacha actually uses to run a wedding day itself as opposed to correspondence and planning calls, but a stated fluent-English claim from the person who would be running the day, made on her own biography rather than assumed from a Geneva address, is more than a number of planners in this catalog publish about themselves.

4 countries claimed, 3 shown

The biography page states that her "impressive portfolio spans Switzerland, Austria, France, and Belgium." The published portfolio itself only backs up 3 of those 4: the France and Austria weddings already covered, and 6 corporate or private entries set in Switzerland. No Belgian case study appears anywhere on the portfolio page. That does not make the claim false, a client project can exist without a published write-up, but it does mean a couple cannot check the Belgium half of that sentence against anything the site actually shows.

The named work that is checkable reads as high-end and brand-adjacent rather than bridal. The Bvlgari cocktail ran inside the brand's own Geneva boutique for a guest list of 20. The Ruinart collaboration paired the champagne house with artist Jeppe Hein on a booth at Art Basel, then extended into an artist dinner at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel for 30 people, catered by Marco Pfleiderer. The Bal du Léman, a 200-guest event at the Château de Coppet on the shore of Lake Geneva, is the kind of booking that needs a planner comfortable with a historic property and a large seated guest list, the same skill set a big Swiss destination wedding would call on, even though this particular booking was not one.

What RPZ Events sells, on its own account, is a single person's judgement and network rather than a company machine: a single email address and phone number handle every enquiry on every page, not a booking system or a sales team. For a couple who wants a Geneva-based planner who has already run logistics for Bvlgari and Ruinart and is offering the same attention to a wedding at a Lake Geneva hotel or a Swiss castle, per the homepage's own pitch, that direct line is the case for booking. What the site leaves a couple to establish on a first call is the price, the paperwork, and whether Natacha has actually run a wedding on Swiss soil before, since the one thing the portfolio does not show is a Swiss wedding of its own.
