I'm a September 2023 bride who just got married in Rome and SposiaMovi -- specifically Anna Grimaldi, was our planner, working with Silvia and Valentina. I don't have the words to describe what an OUTSTANDING planner Anna is in every single way. She blew our expectations out of the water, and I have *admittedly* very high expectations.

Planning from the US, we knew we wanted to go with a local Italian planner and found that in Anna. She's of course bilingual so could communicate with us but also local vendors which was a huge plus. We wanted someone with knowledge of the area. Though Anna had not yet planned a wedding in Rome, her team had and was familiar with our venues.

We were planning a 3-day large scale destination wedding of 200 guests. As we're Indian, we wanted a luxe wedding with lots of fun and specific details, and SposiaMovi was able to deliver in spades. We had 3 different venues, needed transport from our 2 hotels and hour by hour coordination, and they helped us with flawless execution at every turn.

There is so much more I could go into in the process, but I'll keep at this. These are the areas where I feel that SposiaMovi added the MOST value:

- value for money: it felt like they understood that our budget was our budget, and they knew how to stretch the dollar. I don't know how they did it but it felt like specifically our floral and food budget went WAY further than we could have ever dreamed it would.
- vendor management: Anna could always find the best vendors to do any job, from the florist to lighting to decor and catering, and found ways to negotiate on our behalf. She also found our welcome drinks venue which was a hidden gem in Rome that didn't break the bank. While we found our own photographer and videographer, Anna managed every vendor perfectly.
- can do attitude: Anna remained calm under pressure in a way I could never have imagined throughout the process, keeping her composure even when we (the couple) tested her patience. When it came to the wedding, it unexpectedly rained at our reception and Anna was quick to spring to action with a Plan B (luckily it stopped and we didn't have to implement).

Other notes:
- we paid extra for their Concierge service which our guests loved; they can also manage your guest list but my husband took care of that, and we built our own website as well
- SposiaMovi sent a team of people to all of our events. I don't know if this is typical for other planners but we felt EXTREMELY supported and so did our guests.
- I had a bridal assistant (Marta!) for 2/3 events and that was an amazing experience. She was basically a built-in bridesmaid and it was such a help. Lifesaver.

We were initially going to go with another planner who was actually more expensive and I am SO thankful my gut told me to keep looking and we found Ana and the SposiaMovi team. Our wedding would not have been the dream that it was without them. I am forever grateful. Anna has now become a friend and we plan to visit her in Italy for years to come

Working with Sabrina G. with Italian Wedding Planners was an absolute dream! Planning a wedding from overseas and different time zones seemed like a crazy idea, but everything went without a hitch. The entire planning process was fun and stress free. She was incredibly attentive, gracious, and flexible. The result was an incredible day with the most beautiful, intimate wedding. Sabrina was able to produce the exact day that we always imagined down to the tiniest detail. She was ever so thoughtful and diligent. We are thankful! Highly recommend IWP if you’re looking to have a wedding in Italy!

I am living in the US and we were so excited to elope! However the thought of trying to find vendors etc was overwhelming. Anna made it super super easy for us, and genuinely listened to what we wanted. We didn’t want everything that was traditional but rather decided we wanted a more local experience. She found us the coolest family owned restaurant and planned our wedding dinner in their lemon garden. Every detail from beginning to end was taken care of, and more importantly she was just awesome to work with. Every week we got an update on where things stood, budget tracking, vendor options and negotiation, decoration mood board, you name it. They really do it all for you and the peace of mind is priceless!
For the day of, she dealt with making sure everyone was organized, there on time, all of the details were taken care of. She wasn’t rushed to just go home, she really professionally and personally handled the entire day from start to finish. Just the best, thank you so much for the most special day!! Don’t think twice about them ❤️
