WHAT WE DO

Luxury Elopement and Intimate Wedding Design in Italy, California and Worldwide.

We design and plan luxury elopements and intimate weddings for couples who want more than a beautiful backdrop and pretty photos. Something personal, meaningful, and thoughtfully designed from start to finish.

As a destination wedding planner and designer,  along with our team, I guide you through every stage: finding the right setting, creating a custom design, building a trusted team of local vendors, and coordinating every detail, so you can simply be present on your day.

In Italy, we design weddings on the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Lake Como, Tuscany, and Rome. In California, from San Diego to Malibu and beyond. Whether it’s a luxury  elopement for two, an intimate wedding with your closest guests, or a multi-day celebration, each one is designed around you and the place you choose.
