Bella Sposa - Wedding & Event Planning in Italy

Bella Sposa - Wedding & Event Planning in Italy Originally from the UK, now based in Sorrento, with over a decade of leading luxury destination weddings across Italy and a career shaped by high-end service.

I’m known for being composed, decisive, and deeply committed to the details that matter. This Is What It’s Meant to Feel Like
I’m Cheryl, your Sorrento-based wedding planner, and if you’ve found yourself here, I want you to take a breath. You’re not just planning a wedding in Italy. You’re looking for someone who just gets it. Someone who knows what matters before you’ve had to say it. Who makes e

verything feel less like planning and a lot more like coming home. I live in Italy, but I speak your language, both the one you grew up with and the one you didn’t know you needed until now. It’s about knowing you’re safe, understood, and in the company of someone who gets what you’re really here for. I’m Cheryl, your Sorrento-based wedding planner, and if you’ve found yourself here, I want you to take a breath. Good food, good people, good planning. That’s what it’s all about. I believe your wedding should feel like a celebration, not a spreadsheet. I believe in Aperol spritzes at lunch and dancing before dessert. I believe in calling your dad by his first name and checking your best friend has their shoes before the ceremony. I believe the little things are actually the big things. And that you deserve to feel safe, seen, and completely looked after from the moment we start planning to the moment we say ciao.

People often see the pretty dress, the beautiful venues and the finished wedding photos.

What they don't see are the 20,000 steps, the endless WhatsApp messages, carrying emergency kits, moving chairs, chasing suppliers, fixing timelines, answering questions and somehow surviving on very little food and a lot of adrenaline.

Wedding days are long.
They're hot.
They're exhausting.

But there is something incredibly special about watching months (sometimes years) of planning come to life and seeing a couple completely immersed in one of the happiest days of their lives.

17 hours.
28-degree heat (and +)
Sore feet.

And honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤️

After 13 years, 400+ weddings and countless WhatsApp groups, I still get excited about every single wedding that I do.

10 Things To Know About Me 🤍

✨ I'm Cheryl, a British wedding planner who swapped the UK for Italy 19 years ago and never looked back.

✨ I've planned over 400 weddings across Italy, but I still get excited for every single one.

✨ Sorrento is home, but I now plan weddings throughout Italy, including the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Puglia, Rome and Sicily.

✨ I believe your wedding should feel like the best week of your life, not just the best day.

✨ My favourite part of wedding planning isn't the flowers or the tablescapes (although I love those too!) it's getting to know my couples and helping them create memories with the people they love most.

✨ I speak both English and Italian, which means I spend most of my days switching between supplier calls, venue visits, guest emails and wedding dreams.

✨ I am obsessed with guest experience. If your guests leave saying, "That was the best wedding we've ever been to," then I've done my job.

✨ You'll often find me driving around Italy, venue scouting, tasting menus, meeting suppliers, or convincing couples that yes, they really do need the live food station!

✨ I still pinch myself that this is my job.

✨ And finally... I cry at weddings. Every. Single. Time.

If you're dreaming of getting married in Italy, I'd love to hear your story. 🇮🇹🤍

A beachfront Haldi , A courtyard Sangeet, An Indian wedding in an iconic piazza. Dancing beneath the stars until sunrise; this is what we did for 250 guests at the iconic Borgo Egnazia.

This venue is perfect for large weddings as it offers a range of stunning locations for each celebration without even leaving the property!

The right venue shouldn't just host your wedding weekend. It should take your guests on a journey.

If you want to know more about the venues we work with and how we will create your dream wedding in Italy, then let's chat! I can't wait to hear your ideas

Your “something blue” doesn’t have to be hidden. 💙

I absolutely loved how Sarah chose a colour palette for her closest friends so they stood out , had them there for the reveal, and then walk down the aisle , without all the pressure and structure that can sometimes come with a bridal party.

Because destination weddings in Italy should still feel like a holiday for your guests too.

Less stress.
Less chaos.
More beautiful moments together.

And these moments before the ceremony ,laughing, reacting to the dress, soaking in the sunshine and realising the day is finally here , often become some of the most special memories of all.

After two days on the Amalfi coast ( for work and pleasure) I am coming back home to Sorrento reflecting on what is important when visiting this beautiful area. My advice is to listen to people that actually live here. I have been here for almost 20 years so allow me to share my top tips with you on how to indulge in the "dolce vita"

There’s something so special about taking a few moments away from everyone else, just the two of you. 🤍

Whether it’s a first look before the ceremony or a quiet second dress reveal before the party begins, these little pauses in the day matter so much.

Your wedding day goes by so quickly.
And sometimes the most meaningful moments are the quiet ones in between, a chance to breathe, laugh together and realise “we’re actually here.”

And the best part?

You can fully relax knowing I’ve got you. While you’re enjoying the moment, I’m behind the scenes making sure everything else is flowing exactly as it should.
Because yes, the beautiful photos matter but how the moment felt matters even more.

Never under estimate the importance of good lighting.

We took an all white room and turned it into a romantic, elegant disco feel for this chic Sangeet!

A big thank you to for their creative flair & for taking an idea and exceeding our expectations ❤️

The groom’s morning deserves just as much thought.

I always suggest keeping it simple and relaxed.

A swim or a light run, a late brunch with your closest friends, perhaps a shave or trim at a trusted local barber, and then stepping out of the sun to stay cool and comfortable as the day builds.

It might sound small, but these choices make a real difference especially in the Italian heat.
When the morning is well-paced, everything that follows feels easier.

If you want your wedding day to feel calm and considered from the very beginning, I’d love to guide you.
