Still dreaming of that unforgettable evening under the Umbrian sky…
A&M’s guests gathered in this dreamy castle to celebrate a love story that beautifully blends Polish roots and American spirit.

The night came alive with Polish wedding traditions—lively dances and Polish music, heartfelt toasts, jokes, and even a touch of home on the menu (yes, there was goulash—and it was perfect).

Multiple cultures, one celebration, infinite memories 🥂

Dreaming of a wedding in Italy but struggling to choose the perfect venue and understand overall budget?
I’M HERE TO HELP!

Finding the right location is often one of the hardest parts of planning a destination wedding — especially when you can’t visit in person.

Some venues may be stunning but don’t have a proper plan B for your wedding size (hello, unexpected costs of a tent 💸), others might lack proper lighting for an outdoor reception… and these are just a few of the hidden details couples often don’t think about. That is normal, you are not a PRO!

That’s why every one of my wedding planning packages includes a detailed venue BUDGET COMPARISON — not just food & beverage, accommodation, and rental fees, but also all the extra costs that come with each option based on our experience.

💡 So whether it’s Venue A, B, or C — I help you understand what each choice really means for your budget, so you can make the best decision without stress or surprises.

My goal? To help you focus on what really matters: celebrating your love in one of the most magical places on earth. 💍🇮🇹

If only I could turn back time and relive this incredible wedding at the breathtaking Villa Cimbrone in Ravello.

The fantastic bride and groom stole my heart from the moment we met in NYC, where they treated me to lunch and shared one of their favorite spots for amazing food—a glimpse into their passion for quality and detail.

Fast forward to Ravello, where we shared an unforgettable experience during the menu tasting at Villa Cimbrone.

The three days spent in this enchanting town for their Amalfi Coast wedding were nothing short of magical. Wandering through Ravello’s colorful streets and taking in its breathtaking views that have inspired artists for centuries, felt like stepping into a timeless dream.

Moments like these—meeting my couples before the big day, getting to know their personalities, and sharing these experiences together—are what make my work so fulfilling. It allows me to plan a truly tailored and meaningful wedding experience for them.

Thank you for trusting me with your vision E&S ❤️

Some weddings are unforgettable not just for their beauty, but for the resilience and romance that shine through. This American couple’s wedding celebration in Umbria, the heart of Italy was just that.

The forecast warned of rain, but love had other plans…

With a double setup in place (just in case), indoors and outdoors, N&M chose to embrace the magic of the moment and host their ceremony outside under a sky of clouds and white umbrellas. It was a bold and heartfelt decision—and it paid off.

Instead of the grassy lawn we initially envisioned for their wedding ceremony, we shifted to a charming paved courtyard, ensuring no one had wet feet, but still offering breathtaking views of the rolling Italian countryside. String lights twinkled overhead, the scent of fresh rain lingered in the air, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical.

Despite the drizzle, this wedding reminded us all that the most beautiful moments often come from embracing the unexpected. ❤️ Here’s to love, flexibility, and making every moment unforgettable.

✨Wondering when the bride should be ready on the big day? Here’s the key🗝️

The golden rule: Be ready one hour before the ceremony—this works perfectly if your ceremony and getting-ready location are the same. This is pretty common for a destination wedding in Italy when you rent a stunning wedding venue for multiple days.

BUT, you’ll need extra time if:
💍 You’re planning a romantic first look
📸 You want pre-ceremony group photos
🚗 Your getting-ready and ceremony spots are in different locations

Pro Tip: Chat with your wedding planner in Italy and your photographer to map out the ideal timeline, then share it with your hair and makeup artist and officiant so everyone’s in sync!

Important for Summer Weddings in Italy: Don’t get ready too early! The heat can cause unnecessary sweating, especially in your gown. Time it right to stay fresh and flawless!

Save this post—it’ll be your secret weapon for a stress-free wedding day!
