Dear Sara, Your kind words truly mean the world to me. I’m so happy to know that the event left such a beautiful impression on you. Creating an atmosphere where every guest feels cared for and part of something special is always my greatest goal, and I’m delighted that you experienced it that way. Thank you for appreciating the details, the harmony, and the emotions behind it all — it is this blend of professionalism and heartfelt passion that I strive to bring into every event. Knowing it became a lasting memory for you is the greatest reward. With gratitude and affection, Paola

* How far in advance should we confirm our venue/s?

I always recommend securing your venue as early as possible—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance. Venues are the foundation of your wedding planning: once your date and location are confirmed, every other detail can fall into place smoothly (such as catering, décor, and guest accommodations). If you’re planning a destination wedding or considering a popular season, booking early is even more essential to ensure you have the best options available. The sooner you confirm, the more peace of mind you’ll have—and the more time we’ll have to design every detail around your chosen setting.

* How many weddings do you take on each season?

I believe every couple deserves my full attention and creativity, so I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings per season. This allows me to dedicate the right amount of time, energy, and care to each event, ensuring a completely personalized experience. My focus is always on quality over quantity—so when you work with me, you can be sure your wedding is never ‘just another event,’ but a unique celebration crafted with detail and heart.

* What exactly does a wedding planner do for us?

A wedding planner is here to transform your vision into reality while taking away the stress of planning. I will guide you through every step—from helping you find the perfect venue and trusted vendors, to managing budgets, contracts, and timelines. On your wedding day, I ensure everything runs seamlessly so you and your guests can simply enjoy the celebration. My role is not only organizational but also creative: I design and coordinate every detail to reflect your story, your style, and your dreams. Think of me as your confidante, problem-solver, and creative partner, making sure your journey to ‘I do’ is as joyful as the day itself.

* Are you available for meetings at the weekend or evenings?

Yes, I’m happy to arrange meetings in the evenings or on weekends—whatever works best for you, so planning feels easy and stress-free.

* How do you charge for your service?

I offer tailored packages based on your needs, with clear upfront pricing so there are no surprises—everything is transparent from the start

* How many planning trips would you recommend for an overseas destination wedding?

Usually 1–2 trips are enough—one for venue and key vendors, and another closer to the wedding for final details. The rest we can handle together online

* Do we have to use your suppliers?

You’re never obliged to use my suppliers. I simply recommend trusted professionals who match your vision, but the final choice is always you

* Why should I choose you?

Couples choose Paola Lapi Luxury Events because I deliver a truly personalized approach: only a limited number of weddings each year, curated with exclusivity, precision, and heartfelt care. My expertise in luxury destination weddings in Italy ensures access to the most prestigious venues, trusted suppliers, and a seamless planning journey—so your celebration is not just organized, but elevated into an unforgettable experience.

* Do you have a list of wedding suppliers to recommend me?

Yes, I have a trusted network of selected wedding suppliers I’m happy to recommend, always tailored to your style and vision.

* How many team members will you have working at our wedding?

The size of my team is tailored to your event. For intimate weddings, I may bring one or two trusted assistants, while larger or more complex celebrations require a dedicated team of professionals. This way, every detail is managed seamlessly, ensuring you receive the highest level of care and attention throughout the day.

* How can we communicate?

We can communicate by email, phone, video calls, or WhatsApp—whichever is easiest for you

* Are you available at the weekend?

Yes, I’m available at weekends to fit your schedule and ensure planning feels effortless.

* Do you work alone or do you have collegues?

I personally lead every wedding to ensure your vision is brought to life with care and precision. Depending on the size and complexity of the event, I collaborate with a trusted team of assistants and professionals, so you always receive dedicated support and seamless coordination.

* How long you been doing this for?

I founded Paola Lapi Luxury Events a year and a half ago, after gaining valuable experience in luxury hospitality at Four Seasons. This background allows me to bring a refined, detail-oriented approach to every wedding I design.

The best decision we could have ever made
Choosing Paola Lapi as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we could have made. From the very first call, I felt an incredible sense of trust and warmth — Paola truly listened to our dreams and brought them to life with elegance and effortless ease. Our wedding in Taormina was nothing short of magical. Every detail, from the breathtaking floral arrangements to the perfectly timed music and the seamless coordination of the entire day, reflected Paola's extraordinary taste and impeccable professionalism. She has a rare gift for capturing the essence of a couple and transforming it into an unforgettable experience. What touched me most was her genuine care: Paola wasn't just a planner, she was a constant support, a reassuring presence, and someone who made us feel at ease throughout the entire journey. Even when minor challenges arose, she handled everything with such calm and grace that we never had to worry about a single thing. Our guests are still telling us how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended, and I know this is thanks to Paola's dedication, creativity, and love for her work. If you are dreaming of a wedding in Italy that is refined, heartfelt, and truly unforgettable, Paola is the person who will make it happen. She made our dream wedding in Taormina come true, and I will forever be grateful to her.
