Your Italian Wedding, guided with clarity, care and experience

Planning a wedding in Italy is a dream — but from abroad, it can quickly become overwhelming.
 

Different rules, unfamiliar suppliers, language barriers, complex logistics and legal requirements can turn excitement into stress. That’s where we come in.
 

My name is Emanuela, and I am the founder and lead planner of Lake Maggiore Weddings.

For over 15 years, I have been designing and coordinating destination weddings for international couples who choose Italy — especially Lake Maggiore and Tuscany — for their most important celebration.

More than wedding planning — real guidance in Italy

I don’t simply plan weddings.
I guide couples through the entire Italian process, from the very first idea to the wedding day itself, making sure every decision is informed, realistic and perfectly aligned with their vision.

Working almost exclusively with couples from the USA, UK, Australia and Asia, I understand exactly what international clients need:

  • clear communication

  • honest advice

  • reliable local suppliers

  • realistic timelines and budgets

  • someone truly on the ground, managing every detail on their behalf

My role is to protect you from unnecessary stress, mistakes and surprises
- and to make the experience feel effortless, even from thousands of miles away.

A tailored, transparent and structured approach

Every wedding we create is completely bespoke.


There are no “one-size-fits-all” solutions, no copied designs and no rushed decisions.

I work with a carefully selected network of trusted Italian venues and suppliers, built over years of hands-on experience. This allows me to offer not only creativity and beauty, but also reliability, precision and accountability — aspects that are essential when planning from abroad.

Transparency is at the heart of my work:

  • clear processes

  • realistic expectations

  • detailed planning

  • professional coordination
     

You will always know what we are doing, why we are doing it and what the next step is.

​A Weddings that feel authentic, elegant and truly Italian

My goal is not to create weddings that simply look beautiful — but celebrations that feel authentic, refined and meaningful, deeply connected to Italy and to your story as a couple.

From intimate elopements to multi-day destination weddings, I take care of every aspect with the same level of dedication, discretion and attention to detail.

 

When your wedding day arrives, you can be fully present — knowing that everything is being handled calmly, professionally and with care.

If you are looking for a wedding planner who combines local expertise, international mindset and a highly structured approach, I would be delighted to guide you through your Italian wedding journey.

Emanuela

Wedding Planner

My professional background has always been rooted in event planning and marketing for various companies. Could I have chosen any other path? I don’t think so!

I decided to channel my experience into a field where love and joy take center stage.
Being part of moments that celebrate love—especially weddings—is truly a privilege. And sharing those moments side by side with the couple at the heart of it all makes it even more meaningful.

I am an Event Designer with a deep passion for fashion and lifestyle. My creative world spans across painting, drawing, floral design, and photo styling. I work with everything from flowers, fabrics, and furnishings to visual merchandising and event styling. My work ranges from redesigning decorative wall art, painting a cozy corner of a home, to sketching bespoke event setups.
