W Bae Sent on 03/21/2025Planning 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!

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. -

K&J F. Sent on 09/28/2021Exceptional 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! -

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 -

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!! -

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. -

Cristina Sent on 07/26/2018They’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 :)
