Planning Your Wedding in Italy:
A Four-Handed Job with Your Trusted Wedding Planner
Deciding to get married abroad or in a city other than your own often leads to the choice of hiring a local wedding planner, an expert in managing every detail of the event. The choice of a wedding planner should be based on their expertise, knowledge of the area, their network of collaborations with specialized professionals for each required service, and their ability to coordinate the entire event.
For this reason, it is essential to choose a wedding planner in Italy when deciding to organize a wedding abroad. Let’s take a look at the key steps to start planning your big day together:
Be as clear as possible about the type of event you envision:
- Type of ceremony
- Number of guests
- Accommodation needs for guests and how many days are required
- Whether the event will only involve the wedding day or if there will be additional activities or moments planned before and after the wedding day
- An estimated budget and what it includes
- The most important services for you, to allocate the budget accordingly
- Always consider a Plan B: from the start, evaluate alternative solutions for every phase of the event and allocate part of the budget to this, if necessary, based on the characteristics of the venue
- Preferences for the color palette and the style of the event, ranging from simple to refined or eclectic
It will then be the responsibility of the wedding planner, with their knowledge and creativity, to propose both logistical and conceptual solutions that are perfect for you and within the budget.
Once the venue is selected, the next step is to choose the other vendors:
- Catering
- Photography and Video
- Depending on priorities: Flowers, Audio and Lighting, Transport, Special Entertainment
- Stationery
Each selection and every decision should be evaluated and discussed between the wedding planner and the couple, always keeping your preferences as the focus. However, it will be up to the wedding planner, with their expertise and professionalism, to confirm the feasibility of the project or to find the most suitable solutions in every situation, as this is their role as the expert in the field.
