Plan Your Italy Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

Luigi is a phenomenal photographer and wonderful person. We were so lucky to have him be able to capture one of the most important moments of our lives. We immediately fell in love with Luigi’s work and knew he would be the right fit. Prior to our wedding we had never done any kind of photo shoot as a couple. Between Luigi’s guidance and his down to earth aura, he knew how to guide us and reassure us to be natural and to be ourselves. Luigi has quite the eye to capture various moments whether it be a tender moment, intimate moment, touching moment, or grand moments. He knows how to find the perfect natural lighting or the perfect shadow work, and incorporates it impeccably into the shot. He is able to capture the richness of color or the perfect black and white moment on film. When Luigi’s sent over his finished published work of both our welcome dinner and wedding day… WOW! We were truly impressed!!! Luigi sent us through a series of emotions again allowing us to relive those days again vividly through his work of art. We are truly blessed to have crossed paths with Luigi, grateful for his talent, and the awesome energy he exudes. He was even kind enough to give us a ride to our welcome dinner after our photo shoot session! Wished we lived in Italy to be able to work with Luigi, hopefully we will be back soon! We 1000000% recommend Luigi!

One of the best decisions we made was choosing The Alms Brand. They have a unique eye and captured very special moments in an incredible way. In addition to being extremely attentive and professional, they made us feel completely at ease. We recommend them without hesitation!

Diana is an exceptional photographer with the perfect combination of talent, creativity and genuine kindness. Not only did she capture all the best moments of our wedding beautifully, she’s also become great friends with us and our friends along the way. Diana puts in 120% effort and care to everything she does, and her professionalism is evident in every interaction we’ve had . We are very grateful to have chosen Diana as our photographer and strongly recommend her rare talent and wonderful personality to everyone!

We cannot recommend Anna enough! She shot our destination wedding in beautiful Tuscany, and the entire experience with her was simply magical. Anna is not just an incredibly talented and true professional; she has such a warm, calming presence that made us feel completely relaxed in front of the camera. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine emotion and love are absolutely unmatched. Looking at her stunning portfolio, it's no surprise she shoots all over Europe, but she made our day feel so uniquely special. If you want a photographer who will perfectly and beautifully preserve the memories of your special day, Anna is the absolute best. Thank you, Anna, for giving us photos we will cherish forever! Kate & Thomas

We absolutely loved working with Andrea and Federica. When searching for local wedding photographers in Italy, we came across their work and did not search after that. Their photographs are beautiful and jumped out at us for the stillness and nuance of their work -- it's almost like they're able to capture intimate moments in time, and you can really feel the art of the moment. Even more important, they are even lovelier in person! We really felt their passion for their work -- they love what they do, which was important because it made our wedding day and lead up so much easier! They were very attentive to what we wanted highlighted on our wedding day. Also, they're friendly and just all around great people! Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we will cherish our photos and time in Italy forever. Thank you Andrea and Federica!! ~Jen and Carly

Nat is just wonderful to have around you in a special moment in your life and she captures it exactly as you feel it. We had Nat with us during our dream wedding in Tuscany and she was in a calm way following us the whole day without disturbing us or making anything up. She is just so professional, knows her business and is a lovely person you would also invite if she was not your photographer. The results are beautiful and make us experience the joy and happiness we felt that day every time we look at the photographs. Thank you Nat!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with this incredibly talented husband and wife photography team for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, they were personable, professional, and such a joy to be around. Every shot was taken with care and precision. They beautifully captured not only the staged moments but also the genuine, candid interactions that made the day so special. Our guests even went out of their way to tell us how wonderful and kind they were throughout the celebration. They managed to preserve the most intimate and meaningful moments of one of the most important days of our lives. We will treasure these photographs forever. Without a doubt, we’ll be recommending them to anyone in need of a photographer.

Giuseppe ha il dono di cogliere l'attimo, prima con il cuore e poi con la macchina fotografica. Sa raccontare storie perché sa cercarle. Grazie ai suoi scatti potremo rivivere infinite volte il racconto del nostro matrimonio e trovare sempre un messaggio nuovo, una carezza.

Quando è stato il momento di scegliere il fotografo per il nostro matrimonio, non abbbiamo avuto dubbi che dovesse essere Edoardo. Lo seguiamo da tanto tempo ed il suo stile è veramente autentico; riesce davvero a cogliere il meglio di qualsiasi momento, i sorrisi, gli sguardi e le espressioni più vere e spontanee. Ci siamo sposati ad Asti, alla Cedrina, e credo che uno dei punti forti di Edoardo (che sono tanti), sia anche stato il meraviglioso rapporto che riesce a stabilire con tutti i fornitori, in una perfetta sinergia di tempi e movimenti; non ti accorgi neanche che lui è lì, finchè non vedi il meraviglioso risultato del suo lavoro (che tra l'altro viene consegnato entro un mese dal grande giorno!!). Non manca un momento e non manca un volto; da tutti gli invitati abbiamo ricevuto solo complimenti e sono stati tutti contentissimi di potersi portare a casa un ricordo immediato tramite il Take Away Print, in cui Edo è stato efficientissimo e non ha dimenticato nessuno. Il servizio di engagement di cui abbiamo usufruito è stato fondamentale per metterci a nostro agio davanti alla fotocamera in anticipo, e su consiglio di Edo abbiamo anche avuto accesso ad un bellissimo campo di girasoli al tramonto, di cui le bellissime foto hanno colto ogni sfumatura di colore. Non vediamo l'ora di rimetterci gli abiti e tornare davanti alla fotocamera di Edoardo per il servizio post matrimonio Rock the Frock - speriamo di trovare una meravigliosa location di mare! Carola & Giovanni

We can't thank Natalie enough for the incredible job she did capturing our wedding day! From start to finish, she was so well-prepared—she brought tons of props and cameras, and we could tell she was ready for anything. She made us feel so comfortable, and the photos turned out beyond amazing. Natalie also put together a short video that absolutely blew us away. She captured all the best moments in such a beautiful way. Thank you, Natalie, for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Susannah and Jose Luis, choosing you as our photographers was without a doubt the best decision we made for our wedding day. From our very first contact, you made us feel completely at ease and confident. It was such a relief to be able to share our ideas with you beforehand, and we truly felt that you understood exactly what we wanted, which meant so much to us. Your work is absolutely incredible. You captured every emotion and every moment of the day so beautifully. On top of that, your positivity and enthusiasm made the whole experience effortless and enjoyable. We felt so comfortable with you both. Thank you for your amazing work!

Professionalism and quality are definitely their watchwords. They managed to grasp the spirit of our wedding and their photographs captured all the love that was in the air. Thanks again for everything.

5 Stars – The Wedding of Our Dreams! We cannot recommend Benitalyweddings highly enough! We got married in Florence, Italy on October 10th, 2024 — during a busy long weekend — and everything was absolutely flawless from start to finish. From the very beginning, Ben was attentive, organized, and incredibly kind. He truly listened to what we envisioned and somehow brought it to life even better than we imagined. Every single detail — from the breathtaking venue to the seamless coordination of vendors — was executed with care and perfection. Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but he made it feel effortless. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful ceremony and unforgettable celebration. It was truly the most magical day of our lives, and we owe it all to Benitalyweddings. If you’re thinking about getting married in Italy, do yourself a favor and work with him. You won’t regret it!

We had the most amazing wedding weekend ever and couldn't have been a reality without Rossana and her team. The attention to detail and going step by step with us. What was amazing is that my husband and I didnt feel the need to visit Italy before our wedding, that was just how much we trusted and felt comfortable with Rossana and team. Our guests still speak on the most amazing weekend and will never forget it. I recommend her services to everyone I know who is looking for a magical wedding in Italy. xoxo, Jessica and Donald

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true and I owe most of this all to Pia and her team at Olive in love! Getting married in Italy while living in the USA I was scared for all the planning and communication. But Pia made this the most stress free experience. As a type A person and stressed person I was so relaxed and calm planning my wedding. Pia was always thinking ahead and sent me option of vendors she had worked with before and trusted. This made me feel even better with no time to see anything ahead of the wedding. The day we arrived she was there waiting for us and walk us through everything. Our wedding was more perfect and beautiful than I ever could have dreamed of. Pia thought of all the details and work with all of the vendors for me. I would pick Olive in Love again and again to help me plan my wedding.

As the mother of the bride coming from the United States, we had no idea where to start. After interviewing a couple of wedding planners we were overwhelmed. Once we sat down with Silvia we knew instantly she was the one! Her relaxed demeanor, gentle voice and enthusiasm made us feel at ease as she answered all our questions. Planning a wedding from long distance is nerve-wracking at best, yet she and her team had every single inquiry we had figured out. All the texts were answered immediately, FaceTime zoom calls well organized, vendors they chose were above what we expected. As a perfectionist they I am, I never thought I would meet my twin. The wedding turned out to be one of the most beautiful, well organized, absolutely stunning Weddings I have seen. Our guests were raving about that night and how they felt every single detail had exceeding their expectations. I couldn’t have done it without Silvia

Barbara is absolutely outstanding! If you’re looking for a wedding planner for your Italian wedding, look no further. Barbara is the best there is. We are beyond grateful that we found Barbara to plan our Lake Como wedding. Living in the US, we had to rely heavily on our planner to help us make important decisions. Barbara did not disappoint. She was incredibly attentive; she kept in touch with us as often as necessary via WhatsApp and Zoom. She took the time to understand our esthetic, and she stayed true to our vision until she brought it to life. She did our sight inspections and ensured nothing less than excellence for us every step of the way. Because she is the best in the business, she knows the very best vendors. Barbara connected us with a DJ, custom dress designer, florist, hair stylist… each one as talented and kind as the last. The wedding was an absolute dream, thanks to Barbara. We recommend Sinfonia Wedding to the highest extent, she was an incredible pleasure to work with!

We had the pleasure of working with Iole as our wedding planner, and she went above and beyond to make our three-day celebration a truly unforgettable experience. From the welcome dinner to our boat tour, church wedding, and the dinner reception, Iole brought our vision to life in ways we could only dream of. Her dedication and commitment were evident in every aspect, and she exceeded our expectations at every turn. Iole tackled every challenge that came our way with grace and efficiency, whether it was navigating budget constraints, resolving the language barriers at our chosen church, or even helping us sort out lost paperwork. She was always one step ahead, ensuring that every detail was in place and every concern resolved promptly. Thanks to Iole’s expertise and unwavering support, we were able to enjoy our special day without a single worry. Her professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made her a joy to work with, and we couldn't have asked for a better planner. We wholeheartedly recommend Iole to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and brings exceptional skill to every detail.

Giulia was an absolute godsend and we consider ourselves very lucky to have found her to design and coordinate our dream wedding in Tuscany. Not content with just the wedding day, we had Giulia's help with a welcome dinner and post-wedding pool party as well. All three days were executed to perfection and her creativity, guidance, support, and coordination were invaluable as we navigated planning a wedding in a different country while working very busy jobs. Her sense of style is exquisite, her recommendations for vendors were brilliant, her team exceptional, and she may be the most organised person I've ever met. What we valued most from Giulia - and I think what sets her apart - is that while she listened to and accommodated our every request, she would also challenge our ideas if they wouldn't work, and make suggestions or improvements that would work better. Some examples include accommodating guests who would not be used to the heat, and strategically suggesting less potent cocktails to start the day. These are things we hadn't considered but take someone with her depth and breadth of experience to mention. It had long been our dream to get married in Tuscany - something we had spent the endless lockdowns planning - and Giulia brought our dream to life. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend and we couldn't recommend her more highly. For a perfect, bespoke designed, incredibly organised and wedding day that runs seamlessly, look no further than Giulia.

I highly recommend Daniela & her team to anyone who is looking to plan a destination wedding in Tuscany! We were looking for a partner who could serve as local experts, provide design & style advice, and make the process stress-free. Their team has amazing vendor partnerships that create a top-quality experience for you and your guests. They provided great design suggestions and handled every detail, so we didn’t need to. They are collaborative and kind and we miss working with them already!

As a wedding planner, working with Fix The Music certainly makes life easier when it comes to finding talented musicians and DJs for couples to choose from in every price range. "The Florence Tenors: They were talented and so great with the crowd! It was perfect."

The experience with the Tuscan Pledges team was fantastic. It was a smooth and easy process with Jo to get to know us and prepare a script for our ceremony. Francesca was the celebrant and was fantastic. Eloquent, calm and wonderful. Thank you Francesca and Jo for an incredible ceremony at our wedding in Tuscany.

can't recommend Missing Piece Films highly enough. From the moment booked to the final delivery of our wedding video, the professionalism and creativity was outstanding. Given that we had never been to our venue before due to getting married abroad, David made the entire process incredibly special. What truly set David apart was his extensive knowledge of our venue at Isola Del Garda. Having filmed there before, he knew all the best spots to capture our special moments perfectly. His creative eye and attention to detail were evident in every shot, resulting in a wedding video that surpassed our wildest dreams. The booking was seamless, and David was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. On our wedding day, his calm and reassuring presence made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment. If you're looking for a videographer who is both highly professional and deeply invested in making your day unforgettable, look no further than David. His dedication and talent have given us a wedding video that we will cherish forever. We are incredibly grateful for his exceptional work.

We couldn’t have asked for a more talented and kind musician for our wedding. Margherita’s music was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere throughout our day—it was everything we had hoped for and more. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive, making the whole process so easy and stress-free. She was always happy to answer our questions and helped ensure everything ran smoothly, giving us complete confidence in the lead-up to our wedding. Her professionalism, talent, and genuine kindness made such a difference to our day, and we’re so grateful she was a part of it. We would wholeheartedly recommend Margherita to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for their special occasion. Thank you again for everything—we wish you all the very best!
