Bella Sposa, Wedding & Event Planning in Italy

Bella Sposa was founded in 2013 with a simple aim, to give couples a personal service and weddings that reflect their own personalities and style. The office is in the historic centre of Sorrento, just behind the Grand Hotel La Favorita.

The planner, Cheryl, is British and has lived in Italy for many years, with more than twenty years of professional experience in entertainment, events and tourism. She gets to know each couple, their story, humour and interests, and works with trusted local suppliers so that no two weddings are the same.

Her service covers the booking of venues and the legal paperwork, advice on photographers, flowers, styling and decoration, and coordination of the day itself. She also helps with guest accommodation, transfers into the resort, and events before and after the wedding.

Couples keep direct contact with her. A small team assists, with at least two members present at a wedding alongside the supplier team, and she takes on generally 25 to 30 weddings per season at most.

Communication is by email and video call, with WhatsApp available nearer the date, and weekend or evening meetings are possible.

From the first message to the day itself

  1. 01Getting to know the couple

    The first conversations explore the couple's story, interests and priorities, and the date and venue options.

  2. 02Planning trips

    One planning trip is usually enough for an overseas wedding, though couples are welcome to visit more often, and venue visits can be arranged.

  3. 03Venues and suppliers

    Venues are booked and trusted local suppliers recommended, from photographers to florists, with legal paperwork handled alongside.

  4. 04The wedding day

    The planner and team coordinate everything arranged, from start to finish.

Faultless!!!

We were absolutely delighted with the personal service provided by Bella Sposa. Cheryl listened to everything we wanted and her recommendations were perfect. She was able to source everything we asked for, even a sports car! The organisation on the day was faultless. Her knowledge of this area is amazing. She planned the most spectacular day for us which we will cherish forever. We would recommend Bella Sposa 100% to anyone planning on getting married in Italy

JUST BRILLIANT! EVERYONE NEEDS A CHERYL!

We got in contact with Cheryl from Bella Sposa in the summer about having our Sorrento wedding. What a wonderful lady. This was the best decision we made regarding our wedding. Cheryl made everything so easy for us and stress-free. She was always available to answer questions and happy to help. We went over to Sorrento two times before the Wedding and met up with Cheryl on both occasions and instantly you can see how much she loves her job this reflects on the quality and time she puts into her work making sure everything runs smoothly and is perfect for us. Not only was Cheryl brilliant at organizing our wedding, but she was also always helpful when we wanted information about things to do in and around Sorrento, like organizing a wine tasting Dinner at Mount Vesuvius for all our guests - It great Night. And what can I say about the wedding day? Perfect. It couldn't have gone better. Everything went so smoothly. We cant speak highly enough of Cheryl. If you want a Wedding in and around Sorrento, YOU NEED A CHERYL

Couldn't ask for a better wedding planner

was only making a few basic enquiries, Cheryl couldn't do enough to help. She answered all my questions and I never had to wait long for a reply! We booked Cheryl and when we went to Italy last year, she spent a whole day with us taking us to venues and helping us make the best decision for us. Marrying abroad can be quite daunting but our process has been made so easy and relaxed by Cheryl. She is always at the end of the phone/email to answer any burning questions at any time and has some great ideas and advice that I will certainly be using. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!

Absolutely perfect,

Home in Austraila, I find myself looking at our wedding photos all the time, and I just can’t stop smiling, our wedding in Sorrento was absolutely perfect, even in the rain, and you made it all happen! We just want to thank you again for everything, you did an amazing job, helping us creating the wedding we wanted. All the small details you added, your creativity and understanding exactly we wanted was fantastic. You are such a lovely person and great to work with, I will recommend you to anyone getting married!
