Over the many years of wedding planning, the Italyweddings team have accumulated a vast knowledge of the best local suppliers, a thorough understanding of all legal and religious aspects, a love and involvement in local traditions and customs, and a passion for Italy’s enormous culinary and cultural heritage.

We have nurtured solid relationships with the top photographers, florists, and catering firms, that guarantee a first class service; along with a knowledge of the important villas, restaurants and hotels in the area.

But more than this, Italywedding’s driving passion is the aesthetic and visual nature of event planning. We love to see your Pinterest pages, mood-boards, hear your particular dreams, loves and hates, ideas and vision for your your wedding, and work with you on even the smallest detail to make that as real as possible!

has been a senior wedding planner at Italyweddings for the last three years, and takes full control and responsibility for a large number of events. Matilde spent a year studying in the US and is a fluent English speaker.  Our policy is to have each planner be your point of reference leading up to the day for all communication, and that same person with you on site for the rehearsal, and throughout the wedding day. Spending time designing and discussing your event with Matilde is always a pleasant, exciting and fun experience, and her youthful, sophisticated approach will enhance the planning, while her elegance and polite manner will mean she will be a discreet and welcome presence through the wedding day.
