Luxury planner Elisabetta Picardi curates elegant, bespoke weddings across Italy’s most romantic destinations. With over a decade of experience and an agency in Italy and London, she brings beauty, authenticity, and precision to every celebration.
In a country synonymous with romance, Elisabetta Picardi has become one of the most trusted names in luxury destination weddings. As the founder of Say Yes in Italy, with agencies based in both Italy and the UK, Elisabetta brings a seamless blend of Italian elegance and international sensibility to every celebration she curates.
For over a decade, she has designed weddings that feel less like events and more like cinematic experiences—imbued with soul, emotion, and impeccable style. Whether it's a candlelit ceremony on the Amalfi Coast, a vineyard celebration in Tuscany, or a grand affair in a Florentine palazzo, Elisabetta transforms each setting into a deeply personal, artfully orchestrated moment in time.
Her background in luxury travel, paired with an editorial eye and deep knowledge of Italy’s most exclusive venues, allows her to craft weddings that are not only logistically flawless but breathtakingly beautiful. From legal civil ceremonies to symbolic, Catholic, and multi-faith unions, her fully bespoke service is tailored to each couple, offering both confidence and calm as they navigate their journey toward “I do.”
Elisabetta’s signature is refined, romantic minimalism, where Italian craftsmanship meets timeless design. Think olive branches and silk ribbon, villa courtyards strung with lights, Michelin-starred feasts under the stars, and moments that feel effortless but are deeply considered.
With her calm presence, intuitive planning, and flair for aesthetic detail, Elisabetta has earned the trust of couples from across the UK, the US, Canada, and beyond. Her London-based presence ensures hands-on service and in-person consultations for British and international clients looking to marry in Italy with confidence and grace.
More than a planner, she is a confidante, a creative partner, and a curator of meaningful, elegant celebrations that linger in the memory long after the final toast.
Because when love brings you to Italy, Elisabetta Picardi is the one to call.

To begin planning your celebration with us, please reach out to schedule your private consultation via our London or Italy agency.
At Say Yes in Italy, every celebration is designed with care, discretion, and intention. We offer a fully bespoke wedding planning service tailored to each couple’s vision, location, and level of complexity.
Our full-service wedding planning begins at €6,500, with final fees based on guest count, destination, logistics, and any additional services required (such as multi-day events, legal assistance, or venue scouting trips).
We work with couples whose total wedding budgets typically start from €60,000, ensuring a luxury standard of experience, design, and delivery.
All planning begins with a private consultation—either virtually or in person at our London or Italy-based agency—so we can understand your story and provide a detailed, personalised quote.
