IEP is the creative partnership of Ilaria Guarino and Serena Ranieri — two women who are not only business partners and founders but also lifelong friends and sisters in spirit. Together, they have spent years traveling the world and working tirelessly to turn dreams into unforgettable experiences.
They are yin and yang. They are the balance between creativity and precision, passion and pragmatism, art and love. In everything they do, they aim to be the missing piece, the guiding hand, and the unwavering support couples need to bring their dream wedding to life. Together, they are the vision you’ve been searching for.
Since 2011, Ilaria and Serena have been crafting extraordinary weddings in Italy’s most breathtaking locations — from the iconic Palladian villas of the Veneto region to the sun-kissed cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, from the romantic shores of Lake Como to the enchanting castles hidden in the picturesque hills of Italy’s tiniest villages. They believe in celebrating love in all its forms, and their events reflect this philosophy.
Every wedding they create is unique, tailored to the couple’s personalities and desires, yet always true to the elegance and timeless beauty that define the Made in Italy wedding experience. They combine romance, culture, and sophisticated style to create unforgettable moments — moments that are not just events, but lifelong memories.
Their approach goes beyond planning; it’s about providing a seamless, stress-free experience where every detail is taken care of. They handle the logistics, so all the couple has to do is enjoy the magic of the day. They move mountains (or seas!) to ensure everything is perfect, making sure the wedding day is an extraordinary celebration filled with beauty, meaning, and joy.
