The

Beginning

Hello, my name is Stephanie. I had the privilege of being able to get married in the heart of Italy. I planned, created, made, and organised everything myself. Food, waiting staff, chef, transport, DJ. All in another language!

I didn't have the budget for a luxury wedding planner, but I desperately wanted my day to look and feel like I had one.

Yes, it took hours. Yes, there were a couple of meltdowns. But oh my goodness, I had the most incredible fun making sure me, my husband, and our beloved family and friends had the absolute best day of our lives.

Now, I want to do exactly this for someone else.

A Villa in the Tuscan Hills

Immersed in the golden light of Italy, securing the perfect private villa became the foundation of our celebration. A place not just to sleep, but a sanctuary where multiple days of joy, feasting, and memories naturally unfolded.

Autentico

Decor Hire

Selecting the right pieces to compliment the rustic beauty of our surroundings was paramount. I navigated local hire companies to source authentic wooden tables, elegant cross-back chairs, and timeless Italian tableware that breathed life into our vision.

Private Chef & Waiting Staff

True Italian weddings revolve around the table. I orchestrated a genuine culinary experience by hiring a talented local private chef alongside a dedicated team of professional waiting staff. The result was a flawless, multi-course feast served seamlessly under the stars.

Stationery & Design

The Small Touches

It is the delicate, thoughtfully designed paper goods that tie a visual theme together. From custom welcome signs and elegant menus to intricate place cards, I personally designed the cohesive elements that made our day uniquely ours.

Transportation

Organizing private coaches and vintage cars to ensure every beloved guest navigated the winding, picturesque Italian roads with absolute ease. Logistics handled, so the romance could take center stage.

Bilingual Translation

"I speak a bit of Italian."

That 'bit' makes all the difference. Speaking conversational Italian allowed me to negotiate directly with local vendors, avoiding tourist traps and ensuring absolute clarity, translating our distinct vision into reality.
