We spoke with four different wedding planners in the Puglia region before choosing Katia, and from the moment we met her, we knew she was the right person for us.

We began planning with Katia around September 2024 and were married in December 2025 at Torre del Parco in Lecce. Since we live in the United States and had never been to Lecce before, planning a destination wedding could easily have felt overwhelming. Somehow, it never did. When we look back on the entire planning experience, we truly never felt even an ounce of stress, which still feels crazy to say considering we were planning a wedding in a place we had never even visited.

Every suggestion Katia made was thoughtful, and the vendors we selected from her recommendations were absolutely amazing. She consistently went above and beyond for us and always made sure we were completely happy and comfortable with every detail before anything was confirmed. She was also timely, patient, and reliable in her communication through both email and WhatsApp, which gave us so much peace of mind while planning from another country.

Our wedding day exceeded everything we could have imagined. So many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended, and we completely agree. Everything came together perfectly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment because we knew Katia had everything under control.

We still look back on our wedding as the best day of our lives so far, and we truly could not have done it without Katia’s hard work, kindness, creativity, and exceptional talent. We are endlessly grateful to her and cannot recommend her highly enough!

There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Katia. Planning a wedding from the United States for a venue in Italy felt incredibly intimidating, especially since I don’t speak Italian, but from our very first conversation, she made us feel completely at ease. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into one that was genuinely exciting and enjoyable.

Katia was always patient, kind, responsive, and incredibly organized. No question was ever too small, and she always made me feel heard. She took so much of the stress off my shoulders, allowing me to focus on what really mattered—looking forward to marrying my husband and celebrating with the people we love.

Her recommendations for our florist, hair and makeup artists, and other vendors were absolutely perfect. Every person she introduced us to was talented, professional, and helped bring our dream wedding to life. She understood our vision from the beginning and somehow made it even more beautiful than we imagined.

On our wedding day, everything flowed so effortlessly that we were able to be fully present and soak in every moment. Looking around and seeing everything come together was truly surreal. It was everything we had dreamed of and more, and we owe so much of that to Katia’s dedication, hard work, and genuine care.

If you are planning a destination wedding in Puglia, I cannot recommend Katia enough. Having someone you trust when you’re planning from another country is priceless, and she was that person for us every step of the way. She didn’t just help us plan a wedding—she helped create one of the most meaningful and unforgettable days of our lives.

Thank you, Katia, for your kindness, your guidance, and for pouring your heart into our wedding. We will forever be grateful for everything you did for us, and we hope to return to Puglia one day with the wonderful memories you helped create.

My husband and I are from Boston, MA, and we have always dreamed of a destination wedding in Italy. Once we settled on the stunning region of Puglia, we started researching local planners and booked a Zoom meeting with Katia from LeccEventi. Right away, we fell in love with her! She was incredibly warm, friendly, and put us completely at ease from the very start. Planning a wedding in a place you’ve never visited brings a lot of unknowns, but we trusted Katia with our vision and she delivered an incredibly seamless experience.
Katia’s honesty and expertise are unmatched. We were initially interested in a specific venue she hadn't worked with before, but she immediately jumped into action. She toured the property for us and sent over every piece of information we could possibly need, including videos of the drive in and all the event spaces. Because of her commitment to transparency, she let us know that the surrounding area was quite industrial and the views weren’t what we were expecting. We pivoted based on her advice and chose a venue Katia suggested, one she knew inside and out. We are so incredibly happy we trusted her guidance!
Communication throughout the process was flawless. Katia was highly responsive over email and set up a WhatsApp group chat for more immediate needs. If she was ever tied up, she always managed expectations beautifully, letting us know exactly when she would get back to us.
She seamlessly managed every single vendor, providing us with extensive examples, videos, photos, and clear pricing. Every vendor she brought to the table exceeded our expectations. We sent her our Pinterest and mood boards for the ceremony, dinner, and after party, and on the wedding day, she completely blew us away. Walking into our wedding, I honestly couldn't believe how incredible everything looked. From the jaw dropping florals to the music and the gorgeous dinner tablescape, it was perfect, and we never had to lift a finger.
We also received great additional support from Sara, one of Katia’s colleagues. Sara helped organize transportation to and from the venue for our guests and helped with other additional needs on the wedding day. She was so lovely!
To top it all off, Katia also helped us plan a welcome party the night before and a relaxing pool party the day after. Both events were a massive success and flowed beautifully.
If you are looking to get married in Puglia, do yourself a huge favor and hire Katia and the LeccEventi team. They will turn your dream wedding into a perfect, stress free reality!

Our wedding would simply not have been possible without Katia. From start to finish, she found all the right vendors that met our budget and our requirements, coordinated with them and us, scheduled everything, and made our wedding planning a stress-free process. In other words, Katia was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond to make everything we requested possible :). We absolutely recommned her for anyone's wedding!

“Destination wedding” per una coppia americana, ma la sposa ha il padre e famiglia leccesi. Il planning era complicato con circa 120 invitati provenienti dagli USA e circa 50 dall’Italia/Europa. Bisognava conciliare aspettative e tradizioni a volte non coincidenti, gusti differenti, logistica complessa, condizioni meteorologiche incerte fino all’ultima ora, la festa del santo patrono nel centro di Lecce dove si trova la chiesa, etc.
Per quasi un anno abbiamo lavorato con Katia, con me e mia moglie (genitori della sposa) a fare da tramite quando eravamo a Lecce e gli sposi in videochiamata, e-mail, whatsapp mentre erano impegnati in America con studi e lavoro.
Katia ha fatto l’impossibile per accomodare le nostre richieste o per indirizzarci su alternative più consone ad un matrimonio leccese.
Alla fine, le aspettative che erano alte da parte nostra sono state ampiamente superate grazie alla competenza e disponibilità di Katia, la quale è stata flessibile, paziente e estremamente efficace nel trovare soluzioni a problemi che a volte sembravano irrisolvibili.
Se pianificate un matrimonio a Lecce, specialmente se “complicato”, vi consiglio di non guardare neanche alle alternative. Katia è una garanzia di qualità e gentilezza ed è stato un piacere conoscerla e lavorare con lei.
10 e lode!

Where do I even start?! Katia was absolutely amazing, she is everything you can ask for in a wedding planner! Most would think planning a destination wedding is super complicated, difficult and stressful, but not if Katia is your wedding planner! She made the process of planning so easy and stress free for us. She gave us options, but not too many so we weren't overwhelmed and truly created an unforgettable night for us and our guests. She listened to all the little details that we wanted, and made sure they happened! She was also SO kind, and professional, she made the wedding day extremely enjoyable, there was not a single thing that I had to worry about the day of the wedding. Every detail was handled and taken care of so perfectly! My husband and I keep saying, "We wish we were guests at this wedding!", our guests are still talking about our wedding, and how much fun their had. Katia surpassed our expectations and made our wedding the most magical night. We wish we could do it all again! Thank you Katia, cannot wait to come visit you next time we are in Puglia!

We are a couple from Switzerland who wanted to get married in beautiful Puglia because of my Husband‘s roots. Since I didn‘t speak any italian we wanted to find a wedding planner to make the process easier. And it couldn‘t have been easier than what we‘ve experienced!
Katia with LeccEventi have been the absolute best during the whole wedding planning process. She listened to every request we had and gave her everything to make our wedding unforgettable. She helped with the vendors and got the maximum out of everything we booked!
We knew from the very first meeting that we could trust her with everything 100%. It felt like planning a wedding with a close friend who knows what‘s best for you.
We will forever be grateful to have had the most perfect wedding including the most perfect planning process.
THANK YOU Katia for all the love you put into your work! We will always visit you when we come down to Lecce.
Our pictures speak more than 1000 words.

Wow wow wow! Katia and Francesco and their staff are beyond amazing. Planning a wedding from the US was so simple with their guidance and everything exceeded our expectations. Katia was always available and ready to assist during the planning process and she made the wedding day seamless. I HIGHLY recommend LeccEventi to any bride who wants perfection!! We could not be happier with the flawless results from LeccEventi!!

Our wedding was in June 2022 and what an astonishing, magical and unforgettable day it was. This was all thanks to the amazing help and assistance from LeccEventi - Katia and Francesco were very professional, efficient and understood our vision from day one.
They made our dream a reality and exceeded our expectations. We were blown away and so were our guests!
They were wonderful to work with, great communication (English language was preferred for us, we were able to understand in all modes of communication), very organised and we were able to trust that they had everything under control from the bigger things to the smaller details. The attention to detail was impeccable and the day itself flowed seamlessly, more than what we could have wished for. We honestly could not have done it without them. Our wedding was a dream wedding and we recommend that anybody who is debating whether to have a wedding planner, LeccEventi would be your best choice, there is no doubt about it. Grazie mille, Katia and Francesco! We cannot thank you enough - so, again we would like to express our gratitude to you both - thank you so much for making our day ever so special. You are the best!
