What is the story behind The Wedding Issue?

The Wedding Issue is a Rome, Italy-based boutique wedding planning agency specializing in luxury destination weddings across Italy and beyond. What makes us different from an independent freelance wedding planner is our structured in-house team and dedicated office, where every project is managed collaboratively with expertise, precision, and continuity.
Our team includes experienced wedding planners, wedding designers, and an in-house graphic design department dedicated to creating bespoke wedding stationery and visual concepts. Each professional has a specific role, allowing us to offer a seamless and highly personalized planning experience while maintaining impeccable attention to detail throughout every stage of the celebration.
With years of experience in the international wedding industry, we guide couples through every aspect of the planning journey: venue scouting, event design, logistics, timelines, guest experience, styling, and coordination. Every wedding is carefully tailored to reflect the couple’s personality, vision, and lifestyle.
OUR APPROACH
At The Wedding Issue, we believe luxury lies in organization, trust, and thoughtful execution. Our structured approach allows couples to enjoy the engagement period with confidence and peace of mind, knowing every detail is being professionally managed behind the scenes.
Having a dedicated internal team means constant communication, creative consistency, and fast problem-solving throughout the planning process. From the first consultation to the wedding day itself, our clients are supported by professionals working together with one shared vision: creating an unforgettable and flawlessly executed celebration.
Based in Rome and working throughout Italy’s most iconic destinations, we design elegant, refined, and deeply personal weddings for couples from all over the world.
At The Wedding Issue, nothing is left to chance: every celebration is the result of experience, teamwork, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

The Wedding Issue is the BEST!! Seamlessly planned out dream wedding in Italy!


It is with joy and gratitude that I write this review for The Wedding Issue! This exceptional team planned our July 2025 wedding, and I cannot imagine having done it without them. For over a year, they were consistently professional, detail-oriented, personable, trustworthy and impressively organized.

Planning a destination wedding from NYC seemed overwhelming at first, but The Wedding Issue truly made the process seamless. From the start, they guided us through every major decision—helping us choose a location and venue that truly reflected who we are as a couple. Their vendor recommendations were outstanding, and they continuously went above and beyond—coordinating thoughtful touches like arranging companion accommodations for my grandmother or helping us find a videographer a week before the wedding when we changed our mind about the service.

Cultural representation through music was particularly important to us, and they understood that completely. They worked closely with two DJs to ensure our vision came to life perfectly. Every element of the celebration felt intentional and personal.

Their artistry and attention to detail were simply superb. The graphic design for our save-the-dates and invitations was stunning—true works of art—and the same elegant aesthetic carried over beautifully to our wedding website and wedding decor. On the wedding day itself, the floral design and event styling were breathtaking. Guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended. A few even asked if we could host a second wedding just so they could relive it!

Throughout the entire day, The Wedding Issue team was calm, supportive and composed—so professional and reassuring. Every detail was accounted for and taken care of by the team.

My husband and I had limited free time to plan the wedding, so we especially appreciated how seamless The Wedding Issue made the entire process. Coming from fast-paced work environments, we value responsiveness, efficiency, and follow-through—and The Wedding Issue absolutely delivered. Their organization, communication, and attention to detail were truly unmatched.

Thank you, The Wedding Issue, for giving us the wedding of our dreams—and for making every step along the way such a pleasure!!
Any couple is so lucky to work with you!

They made our dream wedding come true!

We are a lebanese couple living in Dubai and we wanted to plan our wedding in Rome. I found the wedding issue team online as I was looking for wedding planners based in Rome and honestly from our first meeting I knew I could rely on them. They helped us plan a fairytale 3 day wedding that our guests described as “the best wedding they’ve ever attended”. We are 38 years old so our guests have attended quite a lot of weddings. Fransesca, Giulia and the team were an absolute dream to work with bringing my vision to life as well as being present during the event itself without being visible. We had planned our wedding to be in May of 2026 but with the war breaking out in the region we had to make the difficult call to postpone the wedding to July. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them, they made a stressful period pass by very smoothly and handled all the details. Would recommend working with them a 10000%

Perfect Rome Wedding

I honestly don’t know how to put into words how grateful we are to Francesca, Ilaria, Giulia and Jasscel from The Wedding Issue.

Planning a wedding in Rome from the UK could easily have felt overwhelming, but from the very beginning they made the whole experience feel organised, calm and completely manageable. We trusted them fully, and that trust was rewarded in every possible way.

Our wedding day was perfect. Truly perfect. Everything was more beautiful, thoughtful and seamless than we had imagined, and somehow we were able to actually enjoy every second of it. I genuinely felt like a guest at my own wedding, which I think is probably the biggest compliment I can give a planning team.

On the day, we never had to think about timing, logistics, suppliers or whether something was being handled. Everything simply happened exactly as it was supposed to. Every detail came together beautifully and so many parts of the day exceeded what we had pictured in our heads.

They also understood exactly what we wanted our Rome wedding to feel like and brought it to life in a way that felt completely us. Beyond being incredibly professional, they are also just such lovely people. Having them there made us feel completely looked after and allowed us to be fully present with our friends and family.

We will always be so grateful to them for giving us a wedding that was even better than we imagined. If you are planning a wedding in Rome, I could not recommend The Wedding Issue more highly.

The best team out there!

We had the absolute best time working with Francesca and the whole Wedding Issue team! They are incredibly talented, creative, and responsive. Their vendor recommendations and vendor management was top tier. They took away the stress and uncertainty of planning an international wedding. They truly cared about every detail of our welcome party and wedding day, and made sure we didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of! The execution of our vision, which they were instrumental in curating, was truly unbelievable - to this day we can't believe how incredible our wedding was, and these amazing ladies are to thank for that!

Ancora ancora e ancora…

Risceglieremmo The Wedding Issue ANCORA, ANCORA E ANCORA!!! Inizialmente non eravamo sicuri di volerci far supportare da qualcuno nell’organizzazione del nostro matrimonio ma avevamo necessariamente bisogno di una mano. È bastata la prima call, è stata fiducia a prima vista! Quello che speravamo è che il risultato, la nostra giornata, rendesse perfettamente l’idea di Ginevra&Gabriele e così è stato… tutto rispecchiava le nostre personalità! I nostri ringraziamenti non renderanno mai abbastanza il loro merito. Francesca è empatia, pazienza, ascolto, soluzioni…una vera gemma preziosa. Ilaria è puro stile, raffinata e sofisticata, mai scontata, proprio come desideravamo noi. E che dire di Jasscel, le sue creazioni sono WOW! Grazie anche a tutte le altre ragazze del team, you definitely rock 💕

The Wedding Issue 💕

Choosing The Wedding Issue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From day one, they were simply amazing: organized, thoughtful and always ready to listen and make things happen with a smile. Their kindness and professionalism made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process.

They immediately understood the mood and the kind of celebration we dreamed of, and managed to turn it into reality — even better than we had imagined. Every detail reflected our personalities and the atmosphere we wanted to create.

We are deeply grateful for this wonderful encounter with such a strong, talented and passionate team of women.
Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without them.

The Wedding Issue is worth every penny

From the planning phase to the wedding weekend, Francesca and the rest of the team helped us turn our vision into a reality. They helped us navigate complicated situations with other vendors with competence and grace, alleviating a lot of stress. Their extensive knowledge of local vendors was also incredibly helpful and they connected us with some wonderful people.

Their professionalism on the wedding weekend exceeded expectations. They were present yet discreet and ensured everything went smoothly.

If you are on the fence about hiring the Wedding Issue, rest assured that they will disappoint!

Thanks for everything!

Most incredible wedding planning team!

The whole team at The Wedding Issue helped to create the most phenomenal day of our lives. I cannot praise them enough! From the start, they guided us seamlessly through finding a venue, creating a budget and finding all the vendors that fit our dream for our wedding day. Every vendor recommendation was precisely what we were looking for our Tuscan wedding. They created the vision that we wanted, and this group of woman are just incredible to work with - truly miss having our meetings to talk through details! Kind, confident and impressive - they are a sparkling team of the best wedding planners in Italy (in my opinion!). They handled all my thoughts, ideas, random emails with such grace and truly created the most magical experience for both the wedding planning, as well as our extraordinary three day wedding celebrations! I could not have imagined a more perfect day for our family and friends, and The Wedding Issue made it happen.

The Wedding of My Dreams!

Hiring The Wedding Issue for my wedding as our planners was the best decision I have ever made. There was no request they could not complete, their suggestions came with experience and elegance. Half of my friends who came to my wedding insist they are having a destination wedding now. And I know the planners for them!
I owe Francesca everything. She took care of every detail and if there were any disasters or emergencies, I never knew! I could not recommend her enough. The team at the The Wedding Issue gave me an unforgettable days. I could not be more grateful to them.
