When my husband and I decided to host a party in Italy, I went straight to google to find a good planner - because we live in California, and wanted to work with someone who was fluent in the language.

I met with a few different planners, in early summer 2024, and Ilaria, from Italian Event Planners, really stood out to me. She was friendly, personable, and made me feel like she and her team could make our dreams a reality.

We decided to move forward with Italian Event Planners because they offered the most customizable planning options and had great communication styles.

We exchanged many emails back and forth, as well as phone calls and WhatsApp messages, describing our vision for the event. Ilaria was a great resource in the initial stages of planning - sending us venue options to look at and outlining the various pros and cons of each based on what we wanted.

My husband and I decided to make a trip to Italy for vacation and to scope out venues before making any big decisions. We coordinated with IEP to spend a few days in Tuscany touring venues that they had shared with us online.

After some travel mishaps, we made it to Tuscany where Ilaria and Annachiara picked us up from the train station and drove us all over Tuscany. We were able to tour about 6 sites. They were the most gracious hostesses - driving us around, treating us to lunch, and building a friendship that will last forever.

We found the perfect venue for our party, that quickly turned into 3 events, and then we were off to the races. Booking a band, a photographer, hair & make up, and all of the other details that go along with a big event.

The party weekend arrived, and once Ilaria and Annachiara showed up we knew that everything was going to be handled with great care! They were professional, great resources, and handled all of the details so that we could enjoy the weekend with our friends and family - from putting the welcome gifts into the guest rooms, to coordinating the payment of the vendors, to decorating the spaces, to driving us between the events and our room, to stringing bistro lights (or as they call them: “Fairy lights”) over the family style dinner table where we hosted our main event - the list goes on! (They also brought the world’s best fixer, Antonio!)

The three days were pure magic, a dream come true that neither of us knew we had dreamt. It was so special, and the event wouldn’t have been so beautiful, run so seamlessly, been such a success without the help of the Italian Event Planners team.

I would trust them with any event that I host in the future - Italy or anywhere! Ilaria and Annachiara have become part of our family and look forward to more events in our future!

The team at Italian Event Planners were instrumental in helping us put on the wedding of our dreams. They went above and beyond during the process and helped break things down for us every step of the way. Their communication with us was excellent and they would always respond to messages straight away, even during out of hours, and this helped put our minds at ease. When we were in Italy, they arranged various meetings with us and were always present. Clearly, the suppliers have a lot of respect for them and their professionalism is key. Every member of the team, Serena, Ilaria and Annachiara has their own strengths and it was amazing being able to rely on each of them for different aspects.

They also organised a welcome party for the night before the wedding which was arranged perfectly. The wedding day was beyond what we had dreamed of.

We would highly recommend IEP for weddings in Italy.

We had a great experience with IEP. They did an excellent job of creating our unique vision for our wedding. I truly could have never executed our special day without them. I merely showed them inspiration photos, provided a budget, and they did the rest. Then, they went above and beyond just planning our wedding. They also helped us and all our guests plan transport, lodging, activities, etc. to ensure everyone had an amazing vacation. I could not have asked for a better team to work with, and consider them life long friends.

Italiana event planners are the most kind, professional and high quality wedding planners out there! They really make you feel comfortable for any request and go above and beyond to meet your expectations.
All of our guests mentioned how well planned and co ordinated our wedding was and noticed that the planners were very professional. While being professional, they make you feel like they are your friends and really go above and beyond to cater to your needs.
Thank you so much Illaria and Annachiara!

Where do we even start… with these amazing ladies who planned out dream wedding in Italy. The Italian event planning team (Ilaria, Annachiara and Valentina) were extraordinary when planning our wedding. They paid attention to every detail we wanted in our wedding. They were honest from the start and always guided us to making the right decisions. They were always a phone call away, no matter where they were. They dropped everything and responded to our requests. They were always there for us for the happy moments, the stressful moments, but most importantly they always reassured us that everything will be ok. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but with this team of ladies, they made it so effortless. They aren’t just event planners when planning your wedding. They become part of your family, which makes every moment super special. There shouldn’t be any anybody else planning your wedding other than the Italian event planners. We are forever grateful for them. Thank you, ladies for being part of the biggest moment of our life and for making our dream come true.

We had an amazing wedding in beautiful Tuscany in Castello il Palagio. Ilaria and Annachiara made everything possible to make our wedding magical. Everything was organized perfectly: castle, church, decorations, flowers, guests movements and plan of the wedding day was done in a way we didn’t worry about anything!

We did not know what to expect when planning a destination wedding, but Silvia met and exceeded every expectation throughout the process. From the moment we started working with her, she helped us to plan and prepare for every aspect of our wedding. She helped us find a gorgeous, intimate venue in Umbria that was everything we were looking for and more.

We could not have asked for someone more thoughtful, detail-oriented, and thorough. Not only was she helpful for all months leading up to the wedding, she was incredible on site. She came to the rehearsal dinner and the full wedding day, and her calm and organized demeanor helped as she coordinated vendors, hotel staff, and wedding guests with ease.

We never had to worry about a single thing-- the entire week went so smoothly. We cannot thank Silvia enough for all that she did for us, and we would truly recommend her to anyone. By the end of the time with her, she truly felt like family!

Silvia and Mary were a fantastic team who turned our dream wedding into a reality! We are so incredibly grateful for all their support, professionalism and expertise that meant our wedding went perfectly.

When we found Silvia and Mary we explained to them our dream vision for a three-day wedding in Umbria where we could celebrate my 30th birthday, our wedding, and bringing together our guests from Italy, UK, Argentina, Spain and other parts of the world.

Together, Silvia and Mary were a superb team who made this happen. They helped us find the perfect venue that could host everyone and allow us to fulfill all the things we wanted for the weekend. They created a perfect plan A and B (thankfully we didn't need plan B), helped coordinate all the amazing vendors, managed the church paperwork process, kept things organized, designed a beautiful welcome party, a fabulous church and aperitivo setting and the dinner table decorations blew everyone away.

Whenever we had questions both Silvia and Mary were always available and ready to help guide us and support us. We couldn't have done it without them!

Thank you to Silvia and Mary for being such a fantastic team. We are so grateful to you both, thank you so much! Grazie mille!

If you wish to plan and execute the wedding of your dreams, no matter the size and complexity, Ilaria is the person you need to go to!
From the very first call, she has been accommodating, respectful, creative and professional in each and every task in making our dream wedding come true. She helped us through each step of the planning process with great patience and understanding and introduced us to the top professionals Italy has to offer. We have been truly mesmerized by the highest quality suppliers that she works with and most importantly she did an amazing job managing these tricky suppliers to create a 3-day event no one will forget!
It is a difficult job making someone else’s vision come true, but we can confidently say she was able to do just that! Especially with our unique Eastern European cultures to which she may have not been accustomed to. She was able to beautifully marry our desire for a traditional Italian feel and aesthetic with our Eastern European traditions – Truly an amazing accomplishment!
It was a complete pleasure working with Ilaria and by the end of the wedding, she felt like a member of our family! She treated our wedding as if she were to be planning for her own daughter by pouring her heart and soul into our wedding. The family atmosphere, honesty and compassion gave us the wedding we always imagined and wanted and we have Ilaria to hugely thank for that.
Thank you Ilaria and your team!
