My name is Caterina Testardi, and I am a Destination Wedding Planner and a Wedding Designer. I organize weddings for Italian and foreign couples, fulfilling their small and big desires.
My mission is to make sure that everything is perfect and exclusive with full respect for the budget, taste and personality of the couple. I create the event with the bride and groom, listening to them with extreme attention and trying to understand what they want, and then I design that day with care and attention to every detail.
I love to give life to a unique event that will tell everything about the spouses, and that is in their image and likeness. None of my marriages is alike because every bride and groom is unique! MY HISTORY I was born in Pisa, in Tuscany, a land I love and whose beauty and centuries-old history I adore to enhance. I'm curious, and I love to search for new and beautiful things. And everything that fascinates me becomes a constant source of inspiration for me. I love to smile but, above all, to get people to smile! I have always believed that each of us has something to teach in life and at work and that, for this reason, it is worth listening to everyone with great interest! I have a natural inclination to understand the souls of the people in front of me, and this helps me to turn their dreams into reality.
I graduated in Administration and Market Economy Sciences, so I developed the ability to balance the budgets of my clients, welcoming their requests but with an eye always attentive to the established budget. I started working as a Wedding Planner after organizing my wedding in 2009 with such creativity and passion. Since then, I have been taking care of and realizing my clients' events with the same care and dedication. I am an incurable romantic, but with an analytical, lucid and practical mind, and above all, with great experience in the field. My job is to make sure that everything is perfect, to prevent unforeseen events and to solve problems as soon as they arise.
I always keep my cool because I can always have the situation under control, and, above all, I never stop smiling! The stars of that special day are the bride and groom, and I strive to give them all the happiness they deserve! Over time, I have selected the best suppliers to ensure impeccable and high-quality service. Thanks to my experience, I can optimize your budget, saving you precious time and unnecessary stress. I never work alone because I am fully aware that there's strength in numbers and that it is necessary to delegate when you cannot perform a task.
For this reason, throughout the planning process, I rely on architects, designers, light designers, sommeliers and many other specialists. On the day of the event, I am supported by my invaluable team! A nearly all-female team of creative, kind and reliable girls. Each one of them has a well-defined role within the event, and this allows me not only to keep an eye on the work of each supplier but, above all, to resolve an unexpected situation promptly. Without their invaluable support, I could never give life to a dream! Always remember...
HAVE COURAGE AND BE KIND! With love, Caterina
