Chiara Di Bari and Eventilab Weddings

Eventilab is a wedding planning and design studio in Rome, founded and led by Chiara Di Bari. She studied literature, took one of the first professional wedding planner courses in Rome in the early 2000s, then worked on public events, corporate events and international productions before setting up Eventilab in 2015. She now has more than twenty years in events.

The work runs from first idea to the last hour of the party: venue search, budget, suppliers and contracts, design, timeline, guests and the running of the day. Chiara leads each wedding herself and supervises the day with her team. Couples who already have their suppliers can book coordination only, and couples who want the look without full planning can book design and styling on its own.

“Every wedding I create is unique, but they all share one thing: attention to detail.”

Chiara Di Bari, founder

Most of its weddings are in and around Rome, at venues such as Villa Miani, Villa Aurelia, Palazzo Brancaccio, Villa Dino on the Appia Antica, the Castello di Tor Crescenza, Scuderie San Giorgio, Villa Mondragone in the Castelli Romani, the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi, and the Castello di Bracciano on Lake Bracciano. Further out there are abbey weddings at San Pastore and San Giusto, a castle wedding at Torre Alfina and, in 2026, a wedding at Villa La Rondinaia in Ravello on the Amalfi Coast. The studio also plans in Tuscany, Umbria and on Lake Como.

For couples living abroad Chiara handles the legal side of marrying in Italy, including the Nulla Osta, translations and appointments, along with guest travel, transfers and accommodation. Many of these weddings run over several days, with welcome dinners, wine tours, boat trips and a farewell brunch around the main event.

The design starts from the setting. Recent weddings range from candlelit long tables under painted ceilings to garden dinners on the lawn of a cloister, with flowers, lighting and stationery built to suit each house. The studio also designs invitations, seating plans and the other paper for the day.

Unforgettable day

Giuseppe and I chose Chiara as our wedding planner simply because, upon meeting her, she immediately put us at ease and perfectly captured our desire: a youthful celebration that focused on fun, without neglecting the details.
Chiara and her team guided us through the selection of various vendors, the planning, and the timeline of the day; her presence was felt in every detail. Day after day, we built our unforgettable day, but we also built a wonderful relationship; with her and Marco, we always felt protected and welcomed! We will always recommend Chiara for her empathy, sweetness, unique style, and kindness!
A huge thank you again,
Giuseppe and Ilaria

Above and beyond

Planning a destination wedding in Italy is not easy, but with Chiara, Marco and the entire Eventi Lab team it became the most joyful journey.
From our very first call, Chiara and Marco were incredibly thoughtful and resourceful, guiding us with endless information, venue options, and advice. They went above and beyond in everything that was asked and what truly sets them apart from any other planners I spoke to was their genuine care for the clients and ensuring that what you want will be 100% executed. During our first and only visit to Italy before the wedding, Chiara and Marco were very supportive in helping us plan a wedding in 5 months and usually planners would find that to be very last minute but they welcomed us with open arms, driving us to every site inspections, sharing their knowledge, and prioritizing our needs above anything else. In fact, we planned to do a wedding announcing photoshoot and Chiara made sure it was planned before we arrived to Italy- she helped us find the perfect photographers for our wedding announcement photoshoot.
On the wedding day itself, everything was flawless. Thanks to Chiara, Marco, Eleonora, and the entire Eventi Lab team, our celebration was beyond a fairytale dream and every detail felt magical.
What makes them truly special is not just their professionalism but their genuine care, Chiara and Marco became like family to us, and we will always treasure that bond.
We cannot recommend Eventi Lab enough to anyone planning a wedding in Italy. With them, your dream really does come to life.
