Where do I begin?? Planning a wedding abroad can be daunting, my husband Gareth and I had no idea what to do or what to expect. After exchanging a few emails with Serena at Italian Event Planners I was 100% sure these were the planners for us, they made us feel relaxed and even though our wedding was 2 years away, they still answered all our questions promptly despite how busy they must of been.
After initially speaking with Serena I was then introduced to Ilaria who would be taking care of our wedding plans. I felt an instant connection with Ilaria through her bubbly, happy and detailed emails.
Ilaria was FANTASTIC and so passionate about her role in organising our dream wedding. Over a period of two years, we exchanged many many emails, texts and phone calls to discuss every last detail, and I couldn’t of been happier with the service the whole team provided, especially Ilaria!
Ilaria took care of every single detail and I felt like the calmest bride in the whole world. The build up to the wedding was so relaxed and we have Ilaria to thank for that, nothing was ever too much trouble!
Ilaria shared our vision on our special day, and did her very best to achieve this for us by coordinating with vendors and keeping us updated with new updates or changes.
When we met Ilaria and Serena a month before the wedding at our menu tasting we knew instantly we had made the best choice in wedding planners. We had an instant connection and felt like family. They came prepared with all the details I had sent and helped us communicate with the owners of the venue to ensure every single detail of the setting and food was counted for. We instantly felt relaxed and excited for our wedding.

The IEP team met us the day before our wedding day to meet at the town hall, and we sat down afterwards over lunch to go through some last minute details.
Our wedding day was perfect and all the services the vendors provided were absolutely spectacular, even better than we had imagined! Our guests were blown away and said they have never experienced anything like it before. Ilaria and Serena were with us from start to finish, right up until the last of our guests left. All our guests said how amazing they were at their job. They helped myself and my bridesmaids in to our dresses, helped look after the flower girls and page boys (5 little ones to keep an eye on), and made sure I arrived on time. They also made sure every guests made their way back to the wedding reception by boat after the ceremony, and helped get the party started after dinner by dancing with our guests!

IEP now feel like our family and they hold a special place in our heart forever. They truly played a big part in the run up to our wedding and on our wedding day. Gareth and myself will always be forever grateful for everything they did for us and our guests, and we hope to see them again on our next trip to Italy.

Un abbraccio
