Anita Galafate
Anita Galafate has planned weddings for more than eighteen years. She is based in Rome and works across Italy, with castles and countryside villas in Lazio and Tuscany, masserie and historic estates in Puglia, the Amalfi Coast and the villas of Lake Como among her destinations.
Her couples come mostly from abroad, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, Russia and elsewhere in Europe and Asia. She guides them through each step, so that from the first consultation they feel supported and sure the wedding is in expert hands.
“I do not believe in standard packages or pre-set formulas. Each event is unique, a tailor-made journey we build together, from the first meeting to the final toast.”
Anita Galafate, Founder and Lead Planner
Two working rules define the studio. She organises one wedding per day, supported by her own team, so that the planner who designed the day is the one standing in it. And she does not offer a partial service: coordination-only briefs are declined, because the work is meant to be a complete collaboration.
She handles supplier relationships personally, working with trusted suppliers she has known for over ten years, and will consider suppliers the couple introduces once she has seen their standard. The floral project is developed with her own floral designer and presented as a paper sketch.
She suggests first contact twelve to fourteen months before the wedding, and longer for high season, so that couples have a wide choice of suppliers.

Before you write to them
What does Anita Galafate charge?
There is no fixed price, because the fee depends on the complexity of the event. In the first meeting she asks the questions she needs to prepare a quote.
Do you only work in Rome?
No. Rome is the base, and she plans weddings across Italy, including Lazio, Tuscany, Puglia, the Amalfi Coast and Lake Como.
Can we book coordination only?
No. She offers a complete service and not a partial one. If the decisions are already made, she is not the right planner for the day.
How far ahead should we get in touch?
Twelve to fourteen months before the date is her recommendation, so there is a wide choice of suppliers, particularly in high season.
Do you work alone?
No. Her team numbers five, and she takes one wedding per day so that the whole team is on one event.
Will there be a contract?
Yes. A contract is drawn up once the assignment is agreed, and the budget proposal follows the signature.
