Should you choose an Italian wedding planner or a planner based in your country?
You may know a great wedding planner company in your hometown who works internationally and be tempted to use their services. Same native language, same time zone, easy in-person meetings… but is this ALL that matters? Probably you are torn because something doesn’t feel right about working with a planner that doesn’t have any ties to the place that you have chosen to celebrate your love. We can guarantee that a local Italian wedding planner will have better access and insights to venue and vendor selection and executing beautiful events more smoothly than a planner based in another country would.
An Italian wedding planner surely has a wider knowledge of the territory and vendors. Many international agencies offer wedding services all around the world, but they generally end up using a local partner agency to carry out most of the event production on their behalf and what this really means is more middlemen. Cultural barriers, lack of knowledge of the nature and social dynamics of a region or town, weak relationships with the right local vendors and Italian wedding venues are factors that you should take into account.
Here’s why you can rely on us instead for the organization of your luxury wedding planner in Italy experience:
- We are insiders, we know everything that the wedding and hospitality industry has to offer in Italy.
- We know our stuff when it comes to Italian design, fashion, food and wine (our beloved “Made in Italy”).
