Full wedding planning and coordination
From save-the-date to thank-you cards a planner can envision your wedding the way you’ve always wanted it, then make it happen. They will work with you via email, telephone, Skype/Hangout and online project management platforms, showing you samples and projects, managing your timeline and facilitating your decisions, so that you are always in control and never under pressure. When you’ll meet in Italy for the first time you will feel like you’ve known each other for a long time, and you will be ready to live your special day. Find out more.
Elopement planning and coordination
There is a specific balance to elopements that resonates with some planners’ values. It’s about you and your love alone, which allows for maximum focus on the details and the atmosphere of the moment. When choosing this option you can expect the same process, structure and commitment that a planner would apply to full planning services. But also a specialized approach devoted to solving the specific issues of this kind of celebration. The best planners will not only source the most unusual and exclusive venues for the ceremony and celebration, but they will also ensure that the paperwork trail is taken care of. You will only have to look into each other’s eyes and say ‘I do’. Find out more.
Wedding paperwork
Italian bureaucracy is legendary for its complicated and ever-changing nature. As a destination wedding planner it is your consultant’s duty to stay on top of the requirements and the changes in the law, trusting the best professionals to provide all the necessary assistance to get your paperwork executed flawlessly. Thus your wedding will not only be beautiful and memorable, but more importantly legal in your home country! Find out more.
Month of coordination
You have booked the venue, chosen the menu, selected the officiant, bought the dress, planned your trip… it’s time to get married! A coordinator will take matters into their hands just weeks before your Big Day, and they will execute everything as you planned and intended it. They are the first person to be at the venue and the last to leave the celebration, and they take care of every last minute details that need tending to. Find out more.
The specificity of a great planner is the personal relationship they develop with their clients, which allows them to really understand them and their story. This means that a great planner will only take on a limited number of projects every year (rarely more than ten), and that when you book with them, you book with the planner as your direct and only contact.
The best planners approach each and every project as a blank canvas, without pre-formulated packages to squeeze your needs into, so the service descriptions above are just examples of what they could do for you. If none of them should feel right for your actual needs on this page, do get in touch with the planner you selected and ask for a free preliminary consultation. They will listen to your story and formulate the service that suits you best.
