Viviana FortunatoCEO and Creative DirectorCygnus Events is a boutique wedding planning studio based in Mallorca, specialising in bespoke destination weddings for an international clientele. It is led by Viviana Fortunato, CEO and Creative Director, together with wedding planner Irene Lladó. Couples come mainly from outside Spain, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Scandinavia and the Middle East.
The studio limits its calendar to a maximum of 20 weddings each season, so that every couple has a close, discreet working relationship with the team. Each celebration starts from the couple’s story and develops into a concept with its own design, rather than a repeated template. Viviana trained in Cultural Heritage in Milan and completed a master’s degree in Interior Design in Florence, and the studio’s work carries that design-led, architectural sensibility.
Mallorca is the home base, with weddings in historic fincas, private villas, seaside estates and landmarks such as the Son Marroig pavilion at Deià. The team also plans weddings in Seville, Catalonia and the Costa Brava, and across Italy in Tuscany, Lake Como, the Amalfi Coast, Puglia and Sicily. Planning runs in English, Spanish and Italian.
The planners work with a network of caterers, editorial photographers, floral designers, lighting designers, stylists and production teams, and couples remain free to bring their own suppliers. The studio offers full planning, creative direction and design, and the guest experience for multi-day celebrations, with several coordinators on site on the wedding day.

I could not have asked for a more relaxed and easy wedding planning process! Everything was perfect from start to finish and we had a wonderful day. Viviana is kind, easy to work with, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything we wanted and needed was in place. Planning a wedding abroad can be daunting, but I couldn't have asked for a better coordinator! So happy to have worked with Viviana and would highly recommend to anyone.
