An Unforgettable Celebration, Made Effortless by Silvia
Silvia guided us through every step of planning our destination wedding in Monte Isola, Italy this past June. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring energy made what could have been an overwhelming process feel completely seamless.
Silvia’s expertise in vendor selection was invaluable. Every recommendation she made, from our florist to our photographer, exceeded our expectations. She coordinated all aspects of our four-day wedding celebration, including the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, and the farewell brunch, ensuring that every detail was flawlessly executed. Traveling to a different country for a multi-day event could have been stressful for us and our guests, but Silvia handled everything with grace, precision, and elegance.
Thanks to Silvia, our wedding days were not only beautiful but also smooth and joyful; we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. She truly went above and beyond in making our dream wedding a reality, and we are so grateful to have had her by our side throughout the entire journey.
Thank you, Silvia!

Fairytale Wedding in Italy
We started our wedding 2 years ago from Canada, and were only able to meet Sylvia once during that span in person (long distances). Throughout the long distances and planning time, Sylvia was available to help us when needed, helped book all our vendors and see to it that we had a flawless wedding, straight out of a fairytale. Even now, a month after our wedding, she is in communication and helping with some vendor followup and questions. Sylvia made time for us throughout the planning process when needed, dealing with time differences, making great vendor recommendations or supporting with background checks when needed and even has a legal background which gave us a sound mind when dealing with contracts! Besides her immense professionalism, what really would make me recommend Sylvia as a wedding planner to any couple, is her ability to connect with us on a personal level. A wedding is a deeply personal event and we didn't want to feel like we had a stranger present with us. Sylvia is a wonderful person, was fun to be around and helped navigate what could be stressful situations/questions, with a comfortable and effective presence. We had a 3-day wedding and Sylvia stayed on site for all 3 days to ensure the events went smoothly. If you are planning a wedding in Italy, especially from overseas, book Sylvia; she will make the planning process simple, execute items efficiently and give you your fairytale!
Thank you again Sylvia for the best day of our lives! ♥️

Dear Stephanie and James,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! It was truly an honor to be part of your wedding journey. I’m so grateful we had the chance to connect in person and even more thankful for the trust you placed in me throughout the entire planning process.
Your three-day celebration was magical, and I’m thrilled to have helped bring your fairytale to life. It was always my goal to make things feel as smooth and stress-free as possible — and hearing that you felt supported every step of the way really means the world to me.
Creating a meaningful, comfortable experience is just as important to me as the planning part, and I’m so glad we were able to build that bond.
You guys are really special, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you.
I wish you both a life full of joy and happiness. -

The BEST Wedding Planner in Italy
We truly cannot recommend Silvia enough. From the moment we started planning nearly two years ago, she was the heart and soul of our wedding journey. Planning a destination wedding in Italy from afar seemed daunting at first, but Silvia made it feel like a walk in the park.
Silvia brought our vision to life. Every detail, big and small, was executed flawlessly. She was always quick to respond, incredibly organized, and never hesitated to jump on a call to talk through anything that needed extra attention. She was patient when we changed our minds, resourceful when plans shifted, and always stayed one step ahead.
On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly that if anything went wrong, we would have never known. It was perfect, and having that peace of mind truly made the day that much more enjoyable. By the end of our wedding, she wasn’t just our wedding planner, but rather a dear friend.
What sets Silvia apart is not just her professionalism and talent, but the heart she puts into her work. She goes above and beyond in every sense. She is truly exceptional, and anyone lucky enough to work with her is in the best of hands!!

Silvia is beyond amazing!
There aren't enough good words to say about Silvia!! She was amazing! Extremely professional, responsive and helpful. She answered emails promptly, listened to my concerns, made any revisions I asked for, and she was extremely organized. She gave great advice on design and layout when I wasn’t sure what would look best. On the wedding day, I didn't have to worry about anything because she created a very in-depth timeline and she made sure everything happened when it was supposed to. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner starting from day 1 and ending on my wedding day!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!-

Best decision we made! Silvia is a gem
Silvia was the absolute best. I can’t recommend her enough! She was a true hero.
Hiring Silvia was THE best decision we could have ever made. Where to even begin… we knew from the moment we first met Silvia she would be the one we wanted to work with. She was extremely buttoned up, professional, and kind. We’re type A people in the DC area, and we have which standards. Silvia far surpassed all expectations. She was an absolute angel and our family and friends all recognized this and commented on this as well.
For the many months we communicated and planned she was efficient and organized. We appreciated that we were able to accomplish most details over email, WhatsApp, etc and hop on a video chat for check ins. Huge help with the time zones.
Silvia helped navigate cultural nuances between our cultures and read through all of our contacts and ensured every detail was right.
Her network of wedding professionals were excellent. It was great to rely on her expertise and relationships.
We hosted 3 nights of events planned by Silvia: pizza party, pasta party, and wedding. Each was unique and absolutely stunning. She brought great ideas to the table like hiring the Italian folk trio and tambourines for our pizza party.
Two days before our wedding the grooms father had a medical trauma and missed all of the wedding events. Not only was Silvia helpful, and kind during this scary time she was pivotal. Her husband even drove the grooms family to the hospital one day and translated for them and helped answer a few questions that we could have never known not being familiar with Italian healthcare. We had not planned on hiring a videographer originally but due to the events decided we wanted to video it to share with the father. Silvia miraculously found a videographer in August the day before the wedding for us. True talent.
There is not enough room to sing her praises. Hire Silvia. It will be the best decision you make.
Thank you again for everything!-

Dear Taylor and Colin,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! I’m truly touched by your words, and it was an absolute honor to be a part of your special day. From our first meeting, I could feel the excitement and love you both had for your wedding, which really helped bring your vision to life. Your warmth and trust made the planning process really enjoyable for me, and I’m thrilled that every event was a success.
I know how important it was to get everything just right, especially with the unique blend of cultures and the logistics involved. I’m so glad you felt supported throughout the process and that my network of professionals lived up to your expectations. The Italian folk trio was such a fun touch, and I’m thrilled you and all your guests loved the tambourines too!
I am especially grateful that I could assist your family during such a difficult moment. I'm glad we could find a videographer in time and that the video will help share those beautiful moments with Colin's dad. My heart goes out to you and your family, and I hope that everyone is doing well now.
Thank you again for choosing me to be part of your incredible journey. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter of your lives, and I hope our paths cross again someday!
Grazie di cuore,
Silvia -

The best wedding planner!
Silvia was the best wedding planner!! She was so responsive and always helpful! She helped with many ideas and helped with last minute changes due to rain!
Our wedding was a year ago today and I still think of Silvia and I am so thankful!
I couldn’t recommend her enough! ♥️♥️Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Dear Sophie,
GRAZIE for your lovely review! It truly means the world to me, especially knowing that you’re still thinking of your wedding day and our time together a year later. I’m so glad I could be there to help bring your vision to life and navigate those last-minute weather changes. Even rain can’t stop a beautiful celebration with great people!
It was such a joy working with you both, and I’m thrilled that my ideas and support made a difference throughout the planning process. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting me with such a special occasion. Wishing you both continued happiness and love!
Higs,

Villa Cimbrone Wedding
Silvia was beyond fantastic! She really made our vision and dream come true. I threw a lot of crazy requests at her and she somehow sourced all of them! She was always extremely responsive even with the time differences and so attentive the weekend of! If I was ever to throw another Italian event or even renew my vows she’s 100% who I would choose to work with again.Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Thank you so much, Sean and Emily, for your kind and generous words! It was such a joy to bring your vision to life at Villa Cimbrone. Your requests made the planning process exciting, and I’m so happy I was able to make everything come together just as you imagined.
I'm glad that you always felt supported and heard throughout the process. It was an honor to be there for you on such an important celebration, and I would absolutely love to work with you again in the future—whether for another event or a vow renewal!
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love!

Better than a fairytale
If you are looking for a wedding planner, stop right now because you’ve found her!
When your wedding is over and even your guests are saying… “Your wedding planner seemed incredible!”…you can’t help but to say… believe me I know!
I was drawn to Sylvia because of her warm, friendly, and professional introduction. It was easy to interview a lot of overly bubbly wedding planners and although Sylvia was passionate, enthusiastic and eager to make our dreams come true she was also calm and sincere from the start. It is easy to get ecstatic over a wedding but trust me when it’s a month out from your big day in another country, you want someone who you can trust will deliver and remain calm!
I never once felt like she was trying to sell me or direct me into what most people do at weddings. In fact, she was a great listener and took time to learn what was important to us as a couple…even during times when we weren’t sure ourselves.
She is incredibly knowledgeable about the wedding industry and has a wide understanding of American and Italian weddings. She does her research and is resourceful to make sure you are getting the vendors of your choosing and finding the best prices for your budget. When hurdles do arrive, she is quick to find a resolution. During our long distance zoom calls there were many times we went over the allotted time and Sylvia rarely even commented on it. Instead she made sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed and I always left the call feeling reassured.
Sylvia truly cares about all the details of your wedding day and will oversee that all vendors deliver their very best. She is excellent at what she does and when I say our wedding was better than we could have imagined it is an understatement. And we know working with Sylvia had a big role in making our Italian fairytale come true!

Silvia is a rockstar!
Recently attended a wedding that Silvia planned I truly can't sing her praises enough. Not only was she the calm in the presence of a literal hurricane on the wedding day, at each event she made sure that she found me ahead of each event to tell me which dishes were nut free and alerted the entire staff as well so I wouldn't accidentally eat something that I was allergic to. Would recommend to anyone!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Hi Dan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and most of all, for your kind words. It has been a pleasure meeting you at P&J's wedding! -

Literal angel
Silvia is amazing. Our wedding was perfect, there is nothing I would change, and we had a mini tornado wind vortex take out the outdoor seating about 20 minutes before the wedding was about to start. When I tell you we had no stress, I mean we were laughing and joking inside because Silvia has everything always under control.
Silvia's attention to detail was incredible - we had things I didn't even think about and they were beautiful and exactly right. All of our guest said the wedding was one of the best they'd been to because it was so well paced and so without stress. Everything was organized and lovely and I can tell you my husband and I were definitely not the reasons for that.
Thank you, Silvia!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
YOU are an angel Paloma!!! I can't thank your mom enough for getting in contact with me and choosing me as your wedding planner. I have met two fabulous and inspiring people, you and Jeff. That unexpected mini tornado has been intense, as we are not used to this kind of events in Italy, plus there was not even an alert. Thank God we had everything under control and it took us just 30 minutes to quickly clean the mess of the mini tornado and move forward with our plan B,C,D E :-) Your happiness means so much to me! I can't wait to meet you both again. Grazie mille for taking the time to share your experience!
Hugs! Silvia -

Working with Silvia was the best decision we made for our wedding!!
Where to start! Working with Silvia was hands down the best decision we made!! Right from the start Silvia was so helpful, always helping us with our budget, recommending and speaking with vendors, and helping bring our vision to life. It was also so lovely meeting her in person for the food and wine tasting a few months before the wedding. Silvia made the lead up to our wedding stress-free and we felt very calm. And then on the day she was wonderful. The whole day was seamless, and we could really enjoy our day as opposed to worrying about timings/vendors/weather plans. I can't recommend her enough. If you're looking for a kind, thoughtful, friendly, organised and knowledgable wedding planner then Silvia is it! Thank you Silvia for making our day so special and memorable xx -

World’s best wedding planner!
Silvia was absolutely outstanding from the first time we met her until the day we sadly had to say goodbye to her. We couldn’t recommend her enough. Silvia is organised beyond belief and always kept us in check when our busy lives got in the way of wedding planning! She listened to our vision and went over and above with what she delivered. Silvia created our perfect wedding, even more perfect than we imagined and she took all of the stress away from us. We changed our minds so many times on the small and big details and Silvia tirelessly worked to make our vision a reality.
When we finally met Silvia in person, she was just as lovely as we thought! She scoured the streets of Polignano a Mare for some sparklers for us and brought flowers for our hair on the morning of the wedding when we changed our minds again!
Silvia made our wedding day so relaxed, she took care of everything and made sure that we didn’t have to worry about a thing so we could just enjoy our day. She made sure all of the vendors were doing exactly what they should have been and we couldn’t believe that we were so lucky to have found her.
Silvia flew to Puglia to do our food tasting when we couldn’t make it and did various site visits for other wedding events we wanted. She stayed long until we partied into the night both at the wedding and at the after party and if there were any problems at all, Silvia was already there solving them before we could even notice!
Silvia is incredible at what she does and nothing is too much trouble. Everyone at our wedding said how incredible and professional she was. We would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of getting married in Italy. She is amazing!-

Best Wedding Planner Ever!!
Silvia is an absolutely amazing wedding planner and a joy to know and to work with. She planned my 3-day wedding in Puglia down to the last detail, and I could not be happier with how it came out. I had never set foot in Puglia before my wedding day - I put my full trust in Silvia, and she over-delivered! She helped me select the venue and all of the vendors and helped to plan activities for the guests. She made helpful suggestions about food and drinks, and even suggested that we hire local dancers, which was a huge hit with our guests! I never would have thought of that on my own! She was so organized - I always had an updated timeline and budget, so there were no surprises - I am one of the few brides I know that had fun at my own wedding because I didn't have to worry about anything - Silvia took care of it! During the year-long planning process, she responded to e-mails quickly and was available for Zoom calls. Everything about our wedding was an absolute fairy tale, and I have Silvia to thank! My guests also could not stop talking about how amazing, friendly and organized she was. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!! -

The Best Wedding Planner EVER
Our Italian Fairytale is exactly as it sounds--and the best thing that could have happened to my now husband and I. Silvia at Our Italian Fairytale made every part of the wedding planning process enjoyable, effortless, and done to an exceptional standard. From the start, Silvia took the time to get to know us as people. She listened to our goals and visions for our wedding and brought us every resource we needed to make it a reality. Silvia responded promptly to emails and always answered my planning questions with kindness and grace! Her fluency with English and Italian was so helpful in communicating and choosing the best vendors to suit our style and vision. We confidently put our faith in Silvia's hands and would do it several times over.
When we met Silvia in Italy for the first time she was just as lovely as she was via Zoom and email! Silvia made our three day wedding celebration PERFECT in every sense of the word. When reflecting on our wedding day from three weeks ago, we have only overwhelmingly positive things to say. We could not have dreamed up a better three day celebration and we know for CERTAIN that we would not have been able to execute the perfection of our time in Italy without her. I could go on and on about the things that Silvia did for us to make our time in Italy easy and enjoyable.
I would recommend Silvia and Our Italian Fairytale over and over again to family, friends, and complete strangers. You are in the best hands possibly to plan and execute your fairytale wedding!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Dear Melanie and Matt, I cannot thank you enough for your kind words! Grazie for choosing Our Italian Fairytale for your big day, especially because you gave me the opportunity to meet two wonderful people, inside and outside. I remember having tears when we said goodbye as your entire wedding party was exactly as kind and enjoyable as you both are. I wish you to bring the positive and festive vibe of your Tuscan dream into your future everyday life as husband and wife. -

If I could give her 10 stars, I would
How do I even begin? Silvia was stellar in every way, and we are so lucky to have found her; our wedding would not have been half as magical, logistically smooth, budget-friendly, or stress-free without her. We booked Silvia almost two years before our wedding date and right away she graciously answered my giddy emails about floral arrangement ideas or seating charts when is was FAR too early to make decisions at all. She found and booked a dream venue that checked all our boxes (and more!), facilitated amazing deals with vendors, negotiated and translated contracts, and did all the legwork to achieve a three-day wedding weekend we could have NEVER conceived of ourselves. At the wedding, our guests commented on her amazing project management, warm demeanor, and availability to answer any question-- big or small. On top of all of this, Silvia is simply a wonderful person with a big heart who we count ourselves lucky to know. JUST HIRE HER.-

Sweet Grace, I would give you 10 stars as a couple :-) You are adorable and generous people, and I feel very lucky to have met you. It is so rewarding to read that, together with all the vendors of your wedding day, we've been able to provide you with the fairytale experience you were looking for.
I wish you all the best for your future as a couple and for all your projects. Most importantly, I wish you to always share your sweet and beautiful smile with those who are lucky enough to meet you on their path. -

Our Italian Fairytale Makes Your Wedding Dreams Come True
We highly recommend using Our Italian Fairytale for your wedding! We found OIF/Silvia before the pandemic and she helped us navigate all of the changes and updating of contracts, and I have no idea how we could have managed without her. We are located in the US and finding vendors abroad can be very challenging. Her connections to local vendors, her organization, attention to detail and vision are invaluable. Our wedding was beyond my wildest dreams, and all thanks to Silvia. We talked about our vision in the beginning, provided examples on Pinterest and talked over our most important details. Silvia made all of these visions come to fruition and every little detail was stunning. We are so grateful we found Our Italian Fairytale. Silvia is also just such a beautiful person and will become a friend during this process. If you are considering a wedding in Italy that feels like a fairytale, look no further!-

alisa 9:49 AM (15 minutes ago) to me The BEST wedding planner, and a true friend
We first hired Silvia shortly before the covid-19 pandemic. When we first met her, we immediately knew she was organized and had fantastic attention to detail. As a native Italian speaker and lawyer, we could not have imagined anyone better to help navigate an Italian wedding and all the vendors/contracts from Chicago. She made planning a wedding amidst the covid pandemic easy. She constantly was on the phone with Italian government officials, updating my husband and I (and ALL of our guests) with all the latest travel details. She had lists of amazing venues, florists, photographers, and hair and makeup artists. Every person she offered us was accessible, prompt, talented, and a blast to work with. Her timelines for me, the bride, made planning everything easy.
But, above being incredible at her job, silvia is the kindest, warmest, most thoughtful wedding planner and FRIEND I could ever have imagined. By the wedding day, she must have exchanged just short of a million emails with me and my guests. She knew each of my friend’s names, travel itineraries, room numbers by heart. They all adored her and RAVED about how accessible, helpful, and kind she had been in helping them plan a trip to Italy amidst the pandemic. The wedding day was truly the definition of a fairy tale. I know that none of this would have happened in a million years without Silvia handling every step of the way. We laughed together, cried together, and I know I will always cherish her as my fairy wedding godmother and as a beautiful friend.Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
My sweet Alisa, words cannot express the wonderful person you are. We are all so thankful for having given the chance of being part of your Italian fairytale. It is so true, we laughed, cried and danced together to celebrate your love and a new and hopefully long-lasting friendship. I am also so thankful because you have always been so responsive even when extremely busy at work. You have no idea how helpful this is, especially during "Covid weddings". Happy to be your fairy wedding godmother and a friend :-) Grazie from the bottom of my heart! We all wish you all the best! -

A dream come true!
Words cannot express our gratitude for Silvia and Our Italian Fairytale. We really had the most incredible day of our lives. She made what I thought of as only a dream, a reality. It was the perfect wedding and it was all because of Silvia and the amazing people around her. She took the little direction I gave her (I am not a planner and did not have much of a vision) and created the most beautiful 3 day event, from the lemon tour and rehearsal dinner on the bay of Naples, to the wedding day/reception and lastly the farewell breakfast. During the planning phase, she was always very flexible, gave amazing suggestions, was extremely organized and responded almost immediately, even, at times, with the 6 hour time difference. She has the kindest heart and talks to you in way that makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. We always had the feeling we were in the best hands. The vendors Silvia works with are top notch, from the owners and employees of the villa, to the food, the music, the photographers and the hair and makeup artist; we couldn’t have worked with better professionals of their trade. All of our guests were simply amazed. Silvia became like family and I will always be extremely grateful for everything she did for us. She went above and beyond what we expected and I am incredibly thankful to have had her as my wedding planner and truly believe it would not have been as wonderful of a day without her. -

Mind-blowing Experience with an Exceptionally Talented Wedding Planner
We decided to put our blind faith in an exceptionally talented wedding planner, Silvia La Perla, and we had the time of our lives. Without exaggeration, she attended to every possible detail, and our wedding was more exceptional and perfectly executed than we could have possibly imagined. I know this sounds like hyperbole or like I'm on her payroll. It's not the case. Her services were extremely affordable, and literally every aspect of our wedding was immensely enjoyable. My wife and I are from a completely different part of the country than Silvia. We had never met her before, and we actually didn't meet her until we arrived in Italy (apart from a Skype conversation). My wife initially liked a lot of her Pinterest material, so she reached out to Silvia to get information on her services. Things went quickly from there. She's a former attorney, so she was well organized and meticulous about details. She speaks both Italian and English very well. She helped us to pick a great venue where most of our guests could stay in the villa where we got married. The vendors she selected were simply incredible. The flowers were perfect and exactly as we wanted. The food...OMG THE FOOD...as good as the rest of the food was in Italy, it was really hard to beat the wedding food. INCREDIBLE. We spent 3 weeks in Italy, and we were still raving about our wedding food at the end of it. The pizza truck guy she hired for the day after brunch...I don't think we had better pizza anywhere else in Italy. I still dream of that pizza. Our rehearsal...just an incredible experience at a wonderful winery next to one of the most charming small towns in Italy. I know that you have to take what strangers on the internet say with more than a grain of salt, but in this instance...Silvia deserves all the credit in the world. You won't find someone anywhere near the price that will give you even close to as magnificent an experience as we had with Silvia. If I had any criticism at all, the only thing I'd say is that we should have given our photographers a bit more direction on exactly what sort of wedding photos we wanted. They free-styled quite a bit, and while they were very fun and talented, I think we would have asked for specific photos with certain family members and groups that we didn't ultimately get. That was on us more than her in that we didn't tell her about that in advance. Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise, as stated previously, we had the time of our lives and Silvia was a huge part of the reason. We'd give her a 10 out of 10 every day. She deserves it.-

Truly an Italian "Fairytale"
Silvia was a dream to work with! We were unsure if we could pull off a destination wedding in Italy, but after our first communication with Silvia we knew she was the perfect wedding planner to make our dream wedding a reality. She was so responsive and professional every step of the way. It was beyond valuable to have someone based locally but able to communicate with the Italian vendors, negotiate our contracts, and bring our vision to life. She gave creative input and made recommendations based on Italian traditions while understanding exactly what we wanted for our special day. I trusted her completely throughout the entire process and she could not have made us happier or more confident that our wedding would be seamless. We can't recommend or praise Silvia enough, and we are so grateful for the Our Italian Fairytale team!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Dear Stefanie, it has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to contribute to your Italian Fairytale. From the first time we met in NY, I knew you were an amazing couple and that your wedding would have been simply magical. Thank you for your blind trust, your sweet words and for giving us the chance to plan your fabulous wedding. I wish you and Richard all the best life has to offer. I can't wait to meet you again.
Ciao, Silvia -

A Genuine Fairytale
We just returned from Sorrento where we celebrated my daughter Haleigh's wedding. Thanks to Silvia La Perla, it was indeed a genuine Italian Fairytale.
Silvia was proficient, professional and a delight to work with from our first conversation to our teary goodbye in Tasso Square. Her ideas were creative and reflective of our vision, her organizational skills kept us on schedule and on budget and her enthusiasm demonstrated that she was truly invested in our event.
She had the contacts and experience to know what would be successful for Haleigh's wedding festivities. From coordinating an all day excursion to Capri for our thirty guests, to identifying appropriate venues for both the rehearsal dinner and nuptials, to arranging shuttle transfers between all events, to suggesting vendors for music, flowers, photography, hair/make-up and, most appreciated, encouraging a nervous and weepy MOB to relax and let her handle the details, Silvia was worth her weight in gold.
I already miss our daily emails.
We cannot recommend Silvia and her company enough. I only wish I had another daughter in hopes of working with Silvia again.Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
My sweet Christie, you know how grateful I am for this fantastic opportunity. I remember our first video chat and every single email or call we've exchanged throughout the past year. As Gampie said, we've reached the record for daily emails :-) I miss them so much as well! The planning months have been enjoyable, but the wedding day has been even more fun! Your family and friends are spectacular and all the vendors had an amazing time while working at H&J's wedding!!! Please, let's keep in touch! Grazie mille, come sempre! Silvia -

Seamless and exquisite
I hardly have words that are fitting to describe how wonderful Silvia was as my wedding planner. Her calm and approachable demeanor, punctuality, vision and tender heart made my wedding experience phenomenal. She knows how to bring a vision to life and offers the best of the best! She planned a day trip to Capri, our rehearsal dinner and every detail for the wedding. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and even though we only met days before my wedding, I feel like we had been friends for years! If you are looking for an Italian wedding for your friends and family to remember, Silvia is the planner for you!-

Ciao Haleigh, I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to plan your fantastic wedding and to work with you and your sweet mom! Meeting you and your mom has been a moment I have been waiting for months and when it happened it has been simply touching! As you said, it was like if we had always been friends. I was so excited to finally meet Jack and all the guests we have been talking about for months (they were part of my everyday life) in person. Thank you deeply for your kind words. I will miss you all! I hope we can see each other soon! Grazie mille di tutto, Silvia -

Silvia with Silvia with Our Italian Fairy Tale exceeded our expectaions!
Silvia with Our Italian Fairy Tale Wedding was excellent! Every detail was perfect. From the day at Capri, to the rehearsal dinner, the wedding and the reception, it truly was a fairy tale wedding! The venue for the wedding could not have been more spectacular. Silvia was lovely to work with and she was with us the entire time to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you Silvia!!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Grazie Sue for your sweet words. I am glad you had a great time during your Italian trip and the wedding day. I really enjoyed planning H&J's Italian fairytale and sharing with you and all your guests a taste of the Italian culture and lifestyle. Grazie mille again for taking the time to write a review.

We wish there were 10 Stars!!! Our wedding in Positano has been a dream thanks to Silvia a her fantastic team!!! My family is originally from Italy, I speak Italian too, but my biggest concern was being able to plan everything from the US, since we didn't have time to fly to Italy before our wedding. We didn't want just someone who suggested us a venue, but it was important to find someone who took care of the whole planning, someone to rely on, to regularly meat and with experience in planning weddings in Italy. Claire, a friend of mine, recommended Silvia La Perla saying she is the best person to plan destination weddings in Italy. She was absolutely right!!!! We've spent a day in a bridal salon in Chicago and we had the chance to know each other deeper. Since then, I put all of my trust in her and I knew I was making the best choice. She did a fantastic job! Since the very beginning we had the feeling she knew exactly what to do and how to move. We both loved her willingness and hear sweet but professional approach, also during our wedding day. Having Silvia there in Positano made me feel very relaxed, since I knew her and I completely trusted her. Thank you so much for everything you have done and for your kindness.Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Hi Julia,
we all loved your wedding too and I personally enjoyed working with both of you. You are right, we had the chance to get to know each other better and this has been extremely important for me too. When you know someone deeply, giving shape to their dreams becomes easier and almost automatic.
I am so happy you had the wedding you have always been dreaming of and that my presence and coordination helped you enjoy your Big Day!!!
I really appreciate your generous words.
Have a sweet and happy life together!
Grazie, Silvia La Perla -

I feel so fortunate, actually so blessed to have had the pleasure of working with Silvia La Perla of Our Italian Fairytale. After attending a wedding in Italy I knew this is what I wanted my daughter to experience for her big day but I was not sure how I could coordinate everything and there was a bit of a language barrier with the other wedding planners I found. Luckily, Silvia is from Italy but lives here in the states. She knows the language and the traditions over there in Italy so every single detail was handled with ease. There were contracts and other things I was just not prepared for, but she took care of it all.
She is polite, sweet, patient, caring and we could tell that she genuinely loves helping people have the most beautiful wedding possible. Aside from that, her taste and style made the reception unforgettable!
I would highly suggest meeting with her if you are planning a destination wedding in Italy, she's definitely top-knotch. We started with Skype. We were pleasantly surprised by her prices and the amount of time she took to create a masterpiece of a wedding and reception for us. She shared a lot about the local traditions and then planned some activities for our wedding party. We visited the Amalfi Coast and went to Capri. Silvia arranged it all. She told us about a very nice club that is inside of a cave in Positano. This is something we as Americans would not have found out about on our own.
Our family has truly been touched by an angel because of having this experience, the wedding of a lifetime!Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Ciao Connie,
your daughter's wedding has been magical. She is really like a Princess and they deserved the most beutiful wedding they could imagine. It has been a pleasure giving shape to their dreams. Our Italian Fairytale and I thank you so much for your sweet words. I personally hope we will have the chance to meet again, maybe in Positano :-) Grazie mille e ciao, Silvia La Perla -

I could not think anyone else to share my process with. Silvia is more than welcoming and attentive to what I wanted. She listened very carefully and guided me to what I wanted and needed. She even suggested new things and ideas that I didn't knew I was able to do. I'm very happy and full of gratitude that I ended up choosing Our Italian Fairytale.Our Italian Fairytale's reply:
Ciao Marcela,
it has been such a pleasure reading your words.
We are glad we have been able to make your Italian dream come true, together with making your wedding planning easier and fun. Your satisfaction and happiness is our priority.
Thank you so much to put your trust in Our Italian Fairytale and especially in me, and to gave us the opportunity to be by your side throughout the most important time of your life. It has been a pleasure for me meeting such a lovely couple and working with and for you.
I wish you all the best.
Ciao,
Silvia La Perla -
