Paris DMC for corporate events. One team, from the brief to the wrap.
A destination management company in Paris for international companies running corporate events, seminars, product launches and delegations. Venues, suppliers, transport, accommodation and dining are owned by one Paris team based at Station F, and the person who scopes your event is on site on the day.
What a Paris DMC delivers
A Paris DMC, or destination management company, is your local partner for corporate event execution in Paris and across France. From the brief to the wrap, one team owns every operational layer: venue scouting, supplier negotiation, transport, accommodation, dietary management, technical production, and on the ground problem solving.
We run it without subcontracting layers between sales and operations. The person who scopes your event is the person directing the operation on event day. One contract, one budget owner, one number to call when something needs to move at 2am.
Corporate events in Paris for international companies
International companies running events in Paris often find that a traditional DMC puts layers between them and the venue, the caterer and the chauffeur. Information gets lost, last minute changes take hours, and accountability blurs. We built the opposite: the operator on the ground is also the planner, the negotiator and the budget owner.
We run client entertainment, board dinners, product launches, customer summits, internal seminars, conference logistics, executive meet and greet at CDG and Le Bourget, and full multi day delegations of up to 500 guests. Whether you are a Fortune 500 company with quarterly Paris activity or an international company running a one off launch, we run the operational layer from start to finish.
The person who scopes your Paris event is the person running it on the day. Supplier expenses are passed through at cost, with no markup.
How a Paris DMC is paid, and how we are paid
Few DMC and event agency pages say how they earn their money, which makes two proposals hard to compare. Ours has two lines. An operational fee pays for the planning and the coordination. Supplier expenses (venues, caterers, transport, accommodation) are passed through at cost with no markup.
Because we add nothing to supplier costs, our recommendation has no financial reason to favor one venue or one caterer over another. On a typical four day program, the operational fee represents 25 to 35 percent of the total and supplier expenses 65 to 75 percent. There is no membership fee and no annual retainer requirement.
What a corporate event in Paris costs
From our published grid: a one off mission starts at €450, and a multi day operation or a delegation runs from €1,500 to €10,000 in operational fees depending on headcount, duration and complexity. As a reference for supplier expenses, dinners at two and three Michelin star restaurants run €350 to €850 per guest.
We answer an event brief within 4 hours with a scoping note: feasibility, a ballpark budget and a named point of contact. A program booked with 24 to 72 hours notice carries a 35 to 50 percent surcharge on the operational fee, never on supplier expenses.
Who is on site on event day
The person who scoped and planned your event runs it on the day, on site, until the last guest leaves. Venue managers, caterers, chauffeurs and staff report to that person, and so do you.
If something goes wrong, the issue is handled on the spot, your named contact hears from us within 15 minutes, a written incident report follows within 4 hours, and a full debrief within 48 hours of the event. Events are covered by our French professional liability insurance up to 500 guests, with an extension available for larger programs on advance notice.
Running a Paris event from the United States
Briefs, contracts, reporting and event day coordination are handled in English, and the team also works in French and Arabic. Every engagement is covered by our standard NDA, and client NDAs are signed within 24 hours.
Invoices are issued by M.C.S Services SAS, a French VAT registered company. A company based outside the European Union is invoiced excluding VAT, under the export of services rule. We invoice in euros by default and in US dollars for retainers above €10,000 per month. Established corporate accounts pay at 30 days net; new clients pay 50 percent upfront and 50 percent on completion.
Event agency or DMC in Paris: which fits a corporate event
An event agency in Paris designs the concept: scenography, brand activation, production. A traditional DMC is built around group travel and sells packaged itineraries through tiers of suppliers. A corporate event for an international company usually needs a third thing: one accountable team that books and runs the venue, the transport, the accommodation and the dinners, and answers the phone on the day.
That is the model we operate.

Paris DMC: frequently asked questions
What does a Paris DMC do?
A Paris DMC (destination management company) runs your event in Paris from start to finish: venue scouting, supplier negotiation, transport, accommodation, catering, technical production, executive logistics and on the ground execution. At My Paris Concierge, the team that scopes your event is the team running it on event day.
How much does a corporate event in Paris cost?
Our operational fee for a multi day operation or a delegation runs from €1,500 to €10,000 depending on headcount, duration and complexity. Supplier expenses (venues, caterers, transport, accommodation) are passed through at cost with no markup. We answer a brief within 4 hours with a ballpark budget.
How is My Paris Concierge different from a traditional Paris DMC?
Traditional DMCs aggregate suppliers and subcontract execution layers. We operate a single accountable team: one contract, one budget owner, one point of contact from brief to wrap. The person who scopes the event is the operator coordinating it, on site.
Can you handle large corporate events in Paris (100 to 500 guests)?
Yes. We coordinate corporate events from executive dinners to full programs for up to 500 guests, including conferences, board offsites, product launches, customer summits and multi day delegations, with meet and greet at CDG, Orly and Le Bourget and hotel blocks across central Paris.

Yes. Paris is our core, and we extend across Île-de-France (Versailles, Fontainebleau, Chantilly) and to other French destinations (Champagne region, Côte d'Azur, Burgundy) when the program includes a Paris arrival or departure.
