Top Reasons For Getting Married in Italy

As we kick off our extremely AMAZING Italy trip giveaway, we would like to take this opportunity to put an idea in your head – Why not get married in Italy? Now, before you dismiss the thought that it will be extremely expensive, consider the following:

1) It may not be as expensive as you might think – If you’re planning on heading over to Europe for your honeymoon anyway, rolling your wedding with your honeymoon provides cost synergies. This includes flights and cheaper longer term accommodations. For those of you who have guests you rather not invite, but kind of have to due to parents, co-workers, etc. getting married elsewhere also filters out all but your closest friends. Less heads at the reception table = lower costs.

2) Culinary delights – Italy is all about food. From the simple dishes like Bruschetta to top quality Parmesan it’s just extremely difficult to find bad food there. Did we mention the wine costs less than water? And what’s a wedding without fine wine?

3) Endless choice of venues – If you get married in Toronto, chances are the wedding venue choices are quite limited, not to mention your guests have probably attended another wedding there before. In Italy, the sky’s the limit. Many venues have historical significance and many have extremely breathtaking backdrops. If you’re getting married in Toronto, you’re going to have to pay extra for a backdrop. In Italy, here’s your backdrop:

Winning WPIC Destination Wedding Planner of the Year feels especially meaningful this year. This journey started with my own wedding in Italy 16 years ago. With such a distinguished panel of judges, this recognition carries a quiet weight — one that I hold with deep gratitude.

Behind every destination wedding week abroad is not just design and logistics, but a family making it possible.

To my husband — who holds everything together at home while I travel — and to the grandmas who step in with endless love… this honour belongs to you too.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your most intimate celebrations, far from home. To be welcomed into your wedding world abroad is the greatest privilege of my work.

And to my fellow planners and creative partners around the world — your generosity, collaboration, and kindness are what elevate this industry we love.

This award is shared. 🤍

Trruly honoured to be nominated for the WEMA Circle Awards 🤍
This one feels different.

After years of building celebrations across cultures, borders, and generations, being recognised on a global stage that values integrity, craftsmanship, and intention means more than I can say. No politics. No pay-to-play. Just real work, seen and acknowledged by peers who understand what goes into every detail behind the scenes.

WEMA represents the kind of industry I believe in — inclusive, global, and rooted in respect for both the craft and the people who pour their hearts into it.

Grateful to stand alongside wedding professionals around the world who continue to raise the bar with purpose, care, and authenticity.

Closing out 2025 with a full heart ❤️

A year of adventures ✈️, travel 🌍, timelines 📋, and weddings 💍 across cities and borders.

Grateful beyond words 🙏 for the trust of our clients, the support of incredible vendors 🤝, and the friendships 💫 that carried me through every challenge.

Being entrusted with my couples’ most meaningful life moments is something I never take it for granted 🤍

This year stretched my creativity, tested my logistics skills, and pushed me past what I thought was possible — and somehow, I always made it to the other side 💪✨

None of this would be possible without the unwavering love and support of my family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season 🎄✨ and a beautiful start to 2026 🥂
