    Planning a Destination Wedding in Italy?- They are the one!

    Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming—especially if you're a Type A personality like me. I need every detail organized, every step planned, and every budget item tracked. I can honestly say that Anna and the team at Parade Wedding exceeded every expectation and made the entire experience genuinely fun and exciting.
    We interviewed five destination wedding planners, narrowing them down based on Google reviews and wedding site recommendations. Parade Wedding stood out because their presentation was the most thorough—complete with a detailed budget breakdown, timeline, and vendor options. But what truly set them apart was Anna's warmth and constant reassurance throughout the process. We didn’t know much about Rome other than having visited once as tourists, but they made us feel supported, so much so that we never needed to fly in during planning.
    Anna took my vague vision and a handful of aspirational photos and turned them into a stunning reality. She scouted venues that matched our taste, hosted virtual site visits, stayed within budget, and found options that fit our guest count perfectly. The same level of care went into selecting other vendors for us—photographer, florist, makeup artist, celebrant, string trio, even custom menu negotiations with the hotel. She provided carefully curated options, and all I had to do was pick my favorite.
    What impressed me most—Anna never once said “no.” No matter how specific or complicated the request, she always found a way to make it happen. I truly commend her for that. Her calm, can-do energy was everything I needed, especially when I felt things weren’t moving fast enough for my pace. She explained the process, helped me trust the timeline, and in the end, everything was exactly as it far beyond than “it should be”.
    Anna also ensured our hotel went above and beyond. From setup to rehearsal, she managed every detail. On the wedding day, she was at the venue from 10 AM. checking in every vendor and perfecting every detail. The result? A wedding even more beautiful than I could have wished for. Our guests are still talking about how incredible it was.
    Anna stayed until the cake was cut, wished us well, and even followed up after the wedding to make sure everything was perfect.
    If you're considering a destination wedding, do yourself a favor and hire professionals—especially Anna and the Parade Wedding team. I met a couple during our honeymoon who were trying to plan their wedding from the U.S. on their own—they had already spent nearly $5k just trying to find a venue, with little progress. I recommended Parade Wedding to them 😊 and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in Italy.
    We are very thankful for the dream wedding they brought to life. Thank you, Anna and team!

    Amazing wedding

    Parade team helped us plan an amazing wedding that guests are still talking about, 6 months later!

    Unless you speak Italian, it is CRITICAL to get a planner, as many of the best vendors are local and don't speak english. We loved working with their team and the wedding went without a hitch.

    Exceptional 5star wedding planner & coordinator

    Parade offers brilliant and creative planning and day-of-coordinating service that is nothing short of extraordinary. We searched for a reasonably and fair priced full wedding planning service in Rome, Italy for our destination wedding in 2021. We narrowed it down to several and ended up selecting Parade based on their responsiveness, professionalism, and charisma. They care deeply about you and your special day. They exceeded our expectations in every way: they went above and beyond to achieve utter perfection. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was very challenging, especially as an American couple, but with Anna and Giorgia by our sides, we felt confident everything would be handled—and it was. They booked the most exceptional vendors, always keeping quality and also, budget in mind. They forwarded communications and were timely and organized. They were so thoughtful with every planning detail and truly provided 5 star service day of coordination. We cannot say enough about Parade. We highly recommend them for your destination wedding planning! We just wish we could do it all again!

    Amazing experience !

    Planning a destination wedding can be challenging, specially when you are in a 8 hour different time zone. Since our first phone conversation, I knew Anna and Giorgia from Parade weddings were a perfect fit. They were very warm and it made me feel at ease. They were very professional and organized, and they chose the best vendors for me, from the lighting company, the floral design, the catering to the most beautiful location someone can dream of. I would not hesitate in hiring this beautiful and kind duo. Thank you so much for everything, Luca and Yahwe

    Nick and Rachael

    It took us a long time to write this review for Parade because words cannot truly express how good Anna and Giorgia are at what they do.

    It’s a rare thing for weddings to be perfect, even when they are planned locally, in the city where the couple lives. And it is, we’re sure, unheard of for destination weddings, in big, busy cities like Rome to be perfect. But ours was exactly that.

    From the moment we started working with Parade, they helped make planning our Rome wedding easy. Anna and Giorgia conducted a site inspection of our venue and helped us navigate renting the space for a 40-person wedding party. They connected us with a wonderful caterer and talented florists. They helped arrange appointments to complete the often confusing and complicated administrative steps necessary for foreigners to legally wed in Italy, and personally accompanied us at these appointments. Throughout it all, they remained keenly focused on making sure our wedding day perfectly fit our personalities and our vision for our celebration.

    Even with all that, we were not prepared for just how beautiful and well-planned our wedding day actually was. Because our wedding day ended up falling in the middle of a heat wave, Parade helped organize last-minute car service for us and our guests. All of our guests arrived at our ceremony right on time, without any issue. Our ceremony proceeded exactly as planned and—yes—we were officially, legally married under Italian law, without any problems. After our ceremony, we headed to our event space, which had been transformed by our caterers into a truly stunning setting. Our guests were treated to an overflowing array of delicious hors d’oeuvres and refreshing cocktails, and then later, a remarkable multi-course dinner. In a city filled with unbelievable restaurants and cafes, nearly all of our guests told us that their favorite meal in Italy was, in fact, our wedding dinner.

    Throughout our wedding day, Anna and Giorgia were right there, making sure we did not have to worry about our party and could instead focus on celebrating with our friends and family. And truly, it felt like Anna and Giorgia took care of us like we were their own friends and family. We will always remember our Rome wedding as the perfect day that it was, and remember how Parade made that possible.

    Thanks again, Anna and Giorgia - we hope to see you again next time we’re in Rome for a well-deserved “grazie mille” caffè!

    The Absolute Best

    This review is long overdue for the wonderful team at Parade. Our September Tuscan wedding was simply magical and delivered beyond our expectations. It’s difficult to plan a wedding abroad so we knew how important it was to pick the right planners. After interviewing three different companies, we knew the Parade team was the correct choice. They are genuine, creative and have a fantastic selection of vendors. They gave us suggestions and designs but also allowed us to be part of the process and to add our own unique touches. We had multiple events over a three day weekend and the team helped us with the designs, coordination, menus… with everything! We wanted to include as many authentic Italian elements to our weekend and the Parade team delivered. Our guests still talk about the weekend and describe it as “being in a movie”.

    Thank you Giorgia, Anna Veronica and team for making this the most special, memorable experience of our lives. You are beautiful people and we certainly felt your genuine souls when you cried with us during our vows and also when we said goodbye. It’s undeniable how much you care about your work and about the couples you work with. We’ll be sure to call you when we plan our 10th anniversary party in Italy ;-)

    Amazingly Detailed, Organized, and Professional Destination Wedding Planners

    The Parade Team was truly amazing from start to finish. Back in April 2021, we began thinking about a destination wedding in Rome. Anna and Giorgia met with us over Zoom and helped us with every aspect of the planning process. We initially hired them for a venue selection, but after they were so incredibly helpful with planning every single detail and answering all of our many questions (including translating vendor information and contracts from Italian to English for us), we had no doubt in our mind that we NEEDED to hire them for their full planning and design services. After 18 months of planning and preparation, and countless emails back-and-forth, our 50 wedding guests traveled from the US to Italy for two incredible evenings - our Welcome Party and our wedding ceremony and reception. Both were picture perfect, and the Parade Team made everything run so smoothly. They are so quick to respond to our questions and concerns, and their eye for style and design let us step back and relax, while they did all of the hard work! They are truly angels, who are so patient, kind, and so sweet. Even at the end of a long day of setting up, the Parade Team helped call taxis for some of our guests after the reception/party was winding down. Anna, Giorgia, and Agnese are AMAZING. If we ever HAD to get married again, we would LOVE the chance to work with these fabulous women again. Thank you for everything, Team Parade!!

    Expectations Exceeded

    Parade helped us achieve the exact type if wedding we wanted. We were from Ireland and did not see the venue until we arrived. It was perfect and exceeded our expectations. They helped us organize both the legal and religious aspects of the wedding which was vital. All the vendors were of high quality and you can tell that Parade has a very good relationship with its vendors. Parade will be able to deliver what you want no matter how simple or extravagant.

    Everything turned out perfectly with Parade!

    Everything turned out perfectly the day of the wedding! The Parade team helped make sure that everything was done exactly how we wanted it and gave us great advice throughout the process of planning the wedding. They helped us choose the perfect vendors and supported us the entire time! Would highly recommend choosing Parade to help plan a wedding :)

    The best day of our life

    We organized our wedding with Parade, and we are extremely satisfied with the experience. From the first appointment there was a good feeling with Giorgia and Anna, and we immediately realized that their esthetic sense and their professionality were exactly what we were looking for. Ours was a complex wedding, as it was organized during the Covid lockdown. We had to separate it in two different dates (one for the ceremony and the other for the big party) almost a year and a half apart from one another. Giorgia and Anna handled this transition phenomenally, firstly organizing a wonderful ceremony and mini-party, and then an outstanding big party, helping us avoid any problem such a long postponement could carry. In addition, my husband and I are living abroad right now, and we had to switch to a long-distance organization. On this aspect Giorgia and Anna were exceptional, constantly adjourning the planning, letting us always have full knowledge of every detail. On a pure organizational point of view, the result was beyond our expectations: by suggesting us great suppliers and coordinating them in order to get a marvelous set-up, they made us 100% satisfied. Not only the catering and the music were great, but there was an incredible esthetic taste in the combination between location, graphics and flowers. We would never have expected such a stage. Giorgia and Anna suggestions were also extremely important for my and my husband dresses. We had a small winter liberty-style marriage and a summer open-air country-chic party, very colorful but of great taste, like we would never had been able to set-up just by ourselves. Furthermore, we decided last-second to organize a small welcome event the day before the summer party: Giorgia and Anna did not even flinch to the idea, and they organized another splendid experience in record time. They also were able to read and understand our tastes in a great way: we just had to choose between their suggested alternatives, without really never having to ask to change any substantial part of their draft. In the end, both the events worked like clockwork, coordinated by the two of them without any accident. To summarize, organizing our wedding with Parade was a choice we would absolutely do again: they helped us have two of the best days of our lives, and much of the credit goes to them.

    Professionalism and elegance

    Thanks to Anna Veronica and Giorgia we were able to organize our small (but fabulous and elegant) wedding in Rome in December 2020. Despite the restrictions related to the COVID pandemic, it was an amazing and special day for us. Anna Veronica and Giorgia have taken care of every single detail. Thanks to their professionalism and kindness we had OUR day and we will never forget it.

    Parade is Absolutely Incredible

    Anna and Giorgia were a complete pleasure to work with! We were planning a wedding in Italy from Colorado, and had never been there before. They helped us with all our questions, got back to us quickly, and helped us assemble the most amazing team of vendors. I work as a wedding coordinator in Colorado and they went above and beyond my expectations. They put all the details in place day of and the wedding was completely magic and so easy and we were able to enjoy ourselves and our guests. Thank you!

    the best choice for our wedding

    Giorgia and Anna Veronica are two amazing and professional people, they have been attentive to every detail. This gave us the opportunity to live the wedding day and enjoy every moment. Everything went very well, they couldn't do a better job. They helped me choose the color palette, the tablecloth, the dishes, the flowers, the cutlery. They were really precious, always available and kind. Without them my marriage could not have been so beautiful. Thank you very much girls.

    Dream destination wedding planner!

    We live in London but wanted to get married just outside Rome. When we started looking for wedding planners, we found that most were not very transparent about their pricing structure or seemed to work only in one style which didn’t suit us.

    It was immediately different with Anna and Giorgia!! From the first call we could tell that they are great listeners who treat each of their couples as being unique and had a special ability to understand what we were looking for (even when we didn’t yet!) They showed us a selection of extremely talented and professional vendors for each component of the wedding (hair and makeup, photographer, videographer, lights, florist, catering) which was evident in every detail.

    They never got tired of our many questions and usually responded in a matter of minutes which was hugely comforting! They were also amazing in handling last minute crises with care and patience, even arranging transport for our guests in this small town outside of Rome in the last few days.

    As we have never planned such a large event before, it feels amazing to know that you have the freedom to customise the day however you would want, but the logistics and details are being managed by people who you can trust completely (both in competency and in understanding your unique style).

    On the wedding day we didn’t worry about anything; and it was so far beyond our expectations (and that of our guests, who have still not stopped raving about the food, the décor, how it went seamlessly, everything)!

    Anna and Giorgia have the rare combination of being very talented, professional and experienced – but at the same time warm, kind and caring. We could not have chosen anyone better to take care of the most important day in our life!

    Anna and Giorgia perfect to make a dream of love a reality. At our first meeting they understood the style of marriage we wanted. With elegance, precision and that touch of creativity that made the difference. Our guests have appreciated every detail making all guests feel at home. Passion and love in their hands.

    Phenomenal, Professional, Elegant, Perfection!

    Italy was a destination wedding for us, as we were traveling from the United States. We had family and friends coming from 3 different countries and were in need of planners who could help us not only organize just an affair, but help us to create our dream wedding as well. Mere words cannot articulate how perfect our wedding was and it is because of the magnificent people at Parade Wedding. Because of them, our wedding exceeded our wildest dreams. From the production and venue to helping us find the perfect flowers to the excellent food to the cake, and most importantly working with both Anna and Giorgia, our wedding could not have gone better. We are so grateful and will remember this for the rest of our lives. Giorgia and Anna are deeply dedicated and passionate about their work. The love they put into their productions shows how connected their hearts are to every detail. Every meeting was informative and professional, as well as exciting and fun! Their response time to our emails was practically immediate, their suggestions for every detail of our wedding was perfectly in lined with our desires, and the day of the event, each detail, was completely flawless and handled impeccably. We had our full trust in them from our first meeting for every decision and it was the best decision we could have made for this special moment in our lives. Anna and Giorgia developed an instinct with what we wanted by day one and their professionalism was consistent and incomparable. We will hold them in our hearts as an integral part of our most special day for the rest of our lives. Couples looking to have a dream wedding in Italy, these are your people, especially if you are planning from overseas.

    Best day of my life!

    Parade was able to help me plan the wedding of my dreams in Italy. They were able to take my vision and bring it to life despite me living in a different country. Throughout the whole process I knew the big day was going to be perfect due to their attention to detail, communication and talent! I couldn’t have asked for better planners and now I have amazing memories to last me a lifetime.

    I managed to organise a three day wedding event in Rome for 48 guests via email and WhatsApp without having seen the venue or tested the food thanks to this duo! It was amazing to see everything I had dreamed of in my wedding come true thanks to their hard work, professionalism and responsiveness. Highly recommended!

    They’re the best! You can totally relie on them. We got married in Italy while leaving in Paris. We explained how we wanted our wedding to be and they did the rest. The result was amazing! It felt so good to have them on charge before, during and even after the D-day. Thank you again :)

    Parade Wedding Planners are amazing!!!! Planning a destination wedding can be very stressful, and trusting someone to do everything exactly as you want is daunting, but Anna Veronica and Giorgia took our hopes and thoughts and made it a reality. They are a great team who are efficient, patient, hard working, talented, tasteful and lovely people. We trusted them to execute everything for 3 different events on 3 different days and each one was not just perfect, but even better than we could have imagined. The venues were magnificent, the options were outstanding, everything was fabulous. Not only did we love everything, but our guests were in awe of how the events went smoothly and just had fun. Anna and Giorgia organized every single detail and had the best suppliers to choose from. We also had some last minute requests and they made it all look so easy. They are the best event planning team and the nicest people who you can trust to make your dreams come true. The dream team!
