Frequently asked questions about planning a Wedding in Italy
Where in Italy do you plan weddings?
I focus on Northern Italy, including:
Lake Como
Milan
Bergamo
Lake Garda & Iseo
Lake Maggiore
These locations offer a perfect mix of romantic scenery, beautiful venues and accessibility for international guests.
How far in advance should we book our wedding planner?
Most couples book their wedding planner 8 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular locations like Lake Como. However, elopements and intimate weddings can often be planned in a shorter timeframe depending on availability.
Can we legally get married in Italy?
Yes, it is possible to legally marry in Italy, but the process can be complex depending on your nationality. I can guide you through the general requirements and help you decide whether a legal or symbolic ceremony is the best option for your wedding.
How much does a wedding in Italy cost?
The cost of a wedding in Italy depends on many factors, including location, number of guests and level of service. As a general guideline:
• elopements start from €3000
• intimate weddings from €10000
• larger weddings can vary significantly
During our consultation, I help you understand what is realistic for your budget and priorities.
Do you help with venue selection?
Yes. Finding the right venue is one of the most important parts of planning a wedding in Italy. I help you select locations that match your vision, guest count and budget, whether it’s a villa on Lake Como, a historic venue in Bergamo or a scenic location near Lake Garda.
Do you work with specific vendors?
Yes, I work with a carefully selected network of trusted vendors in Northern Italy. This includes photographers, florists, makeup artists, catering and more: all chosen based on reliability, quality and communication.
How does the planning process work if we live abroad?
The entire planning process is designed to work smoothly for couples living abroad. We communicate via email, video calls and messaging, and I guide you step by step — from the first ideas to the wedding day. You don’t need to be in Italy during the planning process unless you choose to visit.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes, I offer a free initial consultation call. This is a relaxed, no-obligation conversation where we discuss your ideas, preferred location and wedding vision.
What are your payment terms?
To secure your wedding date, a booking fee (deposit) is required. The remaining balance is typically paid in stages, depending on the package and timeline.
Do you offer refunds if we change our mind?
Yes. I offer a 14-day Risk-Free Booking Guarantee. If you decide not to move forward within 14 business days and the planning process has not yet started, your booking fee will be fully refunded.
What if something goes wrong during the wedding planning?
My role is to prevent problems before they happen. With strong organization, careful vendor selection and proactive planning, I minimize risks and handle any unexpected situations quickly and efficiently.
