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:

Wedding planner content: lighting candles, fixing menus and casually walking around looking put together. ✨

The reality? That’s probably 10% of the job. 😂

The other 90% is happening behind the scenes — nonstop texts and phone calls, weather decisions, last-minute changes, communicating with vendors before they arrive, adjusting timelines and solving things before our couples ever know there was a problem.

Those moments are rarely captured because… well, we’re usually too busy doing them.

So shoutout to Garbo for catching some of the real action at Amy & Brian’s wedding. 🤍

This is what wedding planning actually looks like.

A day in the life of a wedding planner ✨ Amy & Brian’s wedding day edition.

We went back and forth on the rain plan more times than I’d like to admit 🌧️☀️ — but in the end, the weather gave us the most beautiful golden hour, followed by fireworks to close out the night. 🎆

One of my favourite parts of this wedding was bringing a full Chinese catering experience into a venue that doesn’t host this style of service often. It takes a lot of coordination behind the scenes — between the venue, caterer, kitchen, rentals and our planning team — to make everything flow seamlessly.

And this is exactly the kind of challenge I love. When everyone comes together with professionalism, flexibility and a shared goal of creating the best experience for the couple and their guests, magic happens.

Congratulations Amy & Brian! ❤️

People often ask what I notice first when I arrive at a venue.
It isn’t the flowers.
Or the view.
It’s how every piece comes together to create a feeling.

Before every destination wedding, I always thinking about:
• How guests will experience the ceremony
• Where the light falls
• The flow of the space
• The details no one notices—until they’re missing

This is what a wedding looks like through a planner’s eyes.

Save this if you love seeing what happens before the celebration begins.

POV: You plan your own destination wedding in Florence… and accidentally build a career from it. 🇮🇹✨

16 years ago, I got married in Florence with no idea that one day I’d be planning weddings across Italy, France, Portugal, and beyond.

Florence will always be the place where the dream started. ❤️
