The planner

Meet the planner

Her work is concentrated in four regions: Romagna, Le Marche, Umbria and Abruzzo. Her weddings include Nikis Resort in Umbria, Villa Imperiale and Villa Cattani Stuart near Pesaro, the Barco Ducale in Urbania, Palazzo Serre at San Leo, Tenuta Biodinamica Mara near Rimini, MarePineta Resort at Milano Marittima and Villa Corallo in Abruzzo. She also has contacts in Puglia and Lazio and takes weddings there, and she once planned a wedding in Santorini from Italy with a planner on the island.

The work

Behind the events

She calls herself a wedding planner in the strict sense: she runs the whole project and brings in a specialist for each job rather than making decorations, stationery or styling herself.
