“Serena and Stefania planned the destination wedding of our dreams.” After interviewing seven planners, it was clear they were “in a class of their own.” For 18 months they guided every decision with care, creating a wedding weekend that exceeded every expectation. “Hire them — you will not regret it.”

Serena e Stefania were simply outstanding: professional, reliable, and incredibly skilled. They turned my wedding into a flawless day, managing every detail with calm and precision. What truly impressed me was their ability to handle an international event involving 2–3 different time zones — coordinating everything seamlessly across countries. Highly recommended!

“We had the best experience with Serena & Stefania from start to finish.” Planning our wedding “literally from the other side of the world” was effortless thanks to them. Every vendor was perfect and guests said it felt like “a celebrity wedding.” They made the entire process stress-free.

“From the very beginning we felt we were in good hands.” Living in Spain and planning our wedding in the Langhe felt daunting, but Serena proved to be “the best possible hands.” She understood us perfectly, cared for every detail, and created a beautiful, seamless celebration we will never forget.
Our philosophy
Every wedding begins with a story.
Mine began in a house surrounded by woods, where the door was always open, flowers were picked from the garden, and there was always space for one more person at the table.
My mother loved to cook, and the house was always filled with the scent of food, laughter and long conversations around beautifully set tables. Family porcelain and simple gestures of hospitality were part of everyday life.
Even my family history is somehow connected to weddings. After the war, my great-grandmother rebuilt her life by creating bridal trousseaux for young brides. In a way, the story continued — only the form changed.
It was there that I learned something that still guides my work today:
true luxury is not only about beauty, but about making people feel genuinely welcomed
Today I share this journey with my partner Stefania, and we have been designing weddings together for more than eighteen years.
We come from different places and backgrounds, which makes our collaboration both natural and complementary.
I carry with me the traditions of Tuscany and the Ligurian Riviera, while Stefania’s roots are in Sicily and Lake Como. Different landscapes, different sensibilities, the same deep love for Italian beauty, culture and hospitality.
When we design a wedding, we see ourselves not only as planners but also as guides and conductors. Our role is to bring together an exceptional team of professionals and orchestrate their work with care, vision and experience — a little like a coach, and a little like a project manager — so that every element contributes to a seamless and harmonious celebration.
Over the years we have built a network of collaborators who represent the true excellence of Italian craftsmanship, creativity and style.
But the heart of our work is always the relationship with the couple. We take time to understand who they are, their story, their personalities and the atmosphere they wish to create for the people they love.
Because no wedding should ever feel like someone else’s wedding.
For this reason every celebration we create is entirely bespoke, designed around the couple, the destination and the experience they want their guests to live.
To preserve this level of care, we choose to plan a limited number of weddings each year, allowing us to dedicate the attention, creativity and presence that every celebration deserves.
Most of our weddings take place across Northern Italy — from Venice and Turin to the Italian Riviera, the vineyards of Piedmont and Tuscany, and the timeless beauty of Lake Como.
For couples who dream of experiencing the true soul of Italy, without renouncing elegance, authenticity and a sense of wonder, our goal is simple: to create celebrations that feel deeply personal and truly unforgettable.
Because the most beautiful weddings are never only about how they look,
but about how they make people feel — welcomed, inspired and part of something meaningful.

Yes. We specialize in bespoke destination weddings throughout Italy, working in exceptional settings such as historic villas, private estates, castles and luxury resorts. Each celebration is designed to reflect the couple’s story while embracing the beauty, culture and atmosphere of the destination.
Our service covers the entire planning and production process: venue research, creative concept and event design, budget management, vendor selection, guest logistics and full event direction. We accompany our clients from the first vision to the final moment of the celebration.
We usually recommend starting the planning process 12–18 months in advance, especially for peak season weddings and highly sought-after venues. However, thanks to our experience and trusted network of suppliers, we have also successfully organized weddings in shorter timelines, even within four months.
Yes. Destination weddings in Italy often unfold over several days. We frequently design complete wedding weekends, including welcome dinners, informal gatherings and farewell brunches. We also offer guest concierge services, assisting with accommodation coordination, transfers and guest support.
Each wedding we create is entirely bespoke, therefore our planning fee depends on the scope, complexity and location of the celebration, as well as the number of events involved.
After an initial consultation, we prepare a tailored proposal outlining the services required to design and produce your wedding experience.
As we dedicate a great deal of attention to every project and plan only one wedding per weekend, we accept a limited number of celebrations each year.
