Cassie Sent on 08/16/2022Victoria must be the best wedding planner in the world...
Far beyond the wedding industry, Victoria is without doubt the best ‘supplier/service provider’ we have ever worked with, she is quite simply at the top of her game. If there was a nobel prize for wedding planning, she would have one!
If you are reading this and even considering booking her, you are very lucky to have found her – she is honestly worth her weight in gold, and we guarantee it will be the best decision you make for your wedding!
I’ve taken a while to write this review because it’s honestly so difficult to convey in writing quite how amazing and special this woman is.
Within a few months of working with Victoria we immediately became uncomfortable referring to her as our wedding planner as she has always been so much more than this to us. She made every element of planning our wedding (& events - all 6 of them!) seamless and fun and we always looked forward to our calls and our trips to Italy to meet her.
Victoria is a beautiful person inside and out and there are not enough adjectives to describe her: passionate, kind, protective, professional, patient, bright, enthusiastic, expert, tenacious, hardworking, resilient, diligent, methodical, calming, gracious, empathetic, a problem solver, an absolute perfectionist, witty, humorous…the list is endless!
To say she goes above and beyond in everything she does is an understatement. There is no vision too wild and no problem too big and she continually strikes the perfect balance of executing all your hopes & aspirations within the framework you provide.
Her knowledge and black book of suppliers is second to none and every person, place, and thing she recommended was as faultless and immaculate as the last. All the events themselves where meticulously organised and executed like a military operation, watching her and her amazing assistant coordinating everything over walkie talkies was quite amazing and she clearly commands the respect of all the suppliers, vendors, venue staff etc in the area who all trust her implicitly and work together as your ultimate dream team! It was at that moment that we realised what an absolute privilege it was to have met Victoria and witnessed what she does firsthand.
It's important to add that having painted this picture, Victoria also takes no sh*t! So, you are always in the safest hands and no supplier is going to get away with messing you around on rates or service etc! She has an implicit sense of justice and expects everyone to be treated fairly and only works with good people – a sentiment we greatly appreciated, and which shone through.
She moved our entire wedding twice due to Covid and didn’t even bat an eyelid, so during what should have been a stressful time we always felt completely in control and supported. Victoria, worked tirelessly to ensure we kept all our suppliers or in unavoidable cases found a suitable replacement. Of course, Covid caused a huge backlog of weddings, resulting in Victoria having a crazy 2022 and barely sleeping – despite this she still always made us feel like her priority and her only couple despite this not being further from the truth.
Words cannot express our gratitude to Victoria for creating the most magical wedding (and supporting events) which surpassed anything we could have ever dreamt of.
Having spent many years tirelessly assisting our guests they were all so excited to meet the ‘infamous’ Victoria and were not disappointed! They loved her nearly as much as we do, and we lost count of how many guests remarked it was the best wedding they had even been to – and very clearly a true testament to her!
We are deeply indebted to her for everything she has done for us, and we know she will be in our lives forever as part of our extended family.
Victoria, we love you and we can’t wait for you to come to London!
Cassie & Max Easton!

Hanna Sent on 07/23/2018STOP LOOKING FOR YOUR WEDDING PLANNER - YOU HAVE FOUND HER!!
From our very first skype call, we could tell how special Victoria would be to work with. Living in Australia, Victoria has made the entire process of organising a wedding a dream come true. She assisted us in finding the perfect venue, caterers, photographer, hairdresser...literally everyone you could think of to make our day magical.
Victoria is kind and considerate, professional and very organised - she is on top of every little detail. She made the lead up to the wedding completely stress free and thoroughly enjoyable. Victoria is dedicated to organising an event that suits you and your personal style. She is an extremely hard worker, always striving for perfection and ensuring you are happy. So much so, she insists on attending every event from start to finish, making sure that everything goes to plan.
Victoria goes above and beyond the call of duty, and we will be forever grateful to her for creating an amazing wedding and the most incredible experience of our lives.
Victoria is more than a wedding planner. She is warm and compassionate, and we are honoured to be able to call such a beautiful person our friend. D&H -

If you’re looking for a wedding planner in Puglia…LOOK NO FURTHER. Victoria is absolutely sensational and I cannot recommend her enough.
We are a UK based couple and we got married at Castello Monaci in October 2022. Victoria did the most incredible job and we (and our guests) had the absolute time of lives. She’s kind, hardworking, professional…the list goes on and on. She has multiple vendor contacts in the local area and we felt so supported throughout the entire process. Choosing Victoria to help us plan our wedding was the best decision EVER. -

Victoria is everything you want in a wedding planner organised, connected, communicative, understanding, knowledgeable and efficient. Most importantly she becomes a confidant and someone you can trust which is ultimately so important for a destination wedding. She is kind, supportive and ultimately a queen. Oli and I affectionately referred to her as my wedding spirit animal because of her approach that suited us so well. She very quickly absorbs the information she needs in the few early calls you have with each other and picks up your aesthetic and vibe immediately. A whole 2 years from when we reached out to her to start planning till our eventual day, despite all the negatives COVID could bring, she was the drive behind keeping our wedding dreams alive.
Both Oli and I just loved all her recommendations and ideas, based on inspirations we have her, and really felt we were able to trust her 1000% in making our dream wedding a reality. The biggest thing that stands out to us was that on the day of the wedding we didn't worry or think about anything, everything was handled by Victoria and her team, we got to experience our day fully in the moment and that is priceless. She planned 3 events for us and as is the case with international weddings, sometimes things don't go to plan e.g. lost luggage, delays, and of course the one and only rainstorm in Puglia, but Victoria made everything run smoothly, calmly and stunningly! We simply cannot recommend her enough, she literally thought of everything, gave us a blueprint to work towards and made every decision making moment exciting and fun. She played a huge part in making our day special. She was our officiant for our civil ceremony and it really meant the world to us! we are eternally grateful to have had her as our wedding planner. Thank you Victoria, we love you! Xxxx -
Charlotte Sent on 08/29/2018Victoria has been an absolute dream to work with since the moment we met her right through to today, where she is still helping with post-wedding queries.
My father and I worked closely with Victoria throughout the entire process. It should be noted that we both work in the events industry, so our combined expectations were high, to say the least!
From our initial outreach through to the big day and beyond, she has been completely professional, inspiring and unflappable. Her impressive contacts include the very best suppliers from whichever region you’re planning in, and she was able to tailor according to our budget and vision so we weren’t overwhelmed with options.
We worked with Victoria collaboratively on every detail and she was never imposing and completely understood our demands. She has an enormous attention to detail, from sourcing miniature olive oil bottles to helping with our band playlist and to locating a rogue subwoofer a week before the wedding, everything was dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
What was most touching is that she went above and beyond the remit of a typical wedding planner and was part of our journey. She invested a lot of time in getting to know my husband and I, and met with both parents on various occasions before the big event. Her celebrant’s speech during our service was so special and we will remember it forever.
When things got difficult - which they inevitably will when planning a wedding abroad, especially in Italy - Victoria always kept her cool and was the perfect communicator.
We will miss working with Victoria and wish we could do it all over again, but it’s great to know we have a friend for life! Thank you Victoria.

Victoria - where do we start?! I am beyond thankful to have found Victoria. From the very beginning she made my partner and I feel at ease and from start to finish, everything was seamless, Victoria truly puts her all into everything she does and it really shows. She went beyond her role several times and we can’t thank her enough. We love you Victoria - thank you for everything! -

Alana Sent on 12/30/2024A Dream Wedding Weekend in Puglia, Thanks to Victoria!
Planning a wedding in Puglia from San Francisco seemed like an impossible task, but thanks to Victoria, our three-day wedding weekend was nothing short of magical. As two type-A, busy professionals, we were used to managing everything with precision, but Victoria made the entire planning process feel effortless. She was professional, punctual (which, as many know, is not always the norm in Italy!), warm, and immaculately organized—traits that truly set her apart.
From the very beginning, we felt completely supported and reassured by her expertise and calm demeanor. During our initial interview, Victoria took the time to listen carefully to what we envisioned for our wedding. Based on our preferences, she suggested a venue that perfectly aligned with our dream—pointing out both the positives and the potential challenges so we could make an informed decision. It was this venue that we ultimately chose, rented for 4 daysexclusively, and will forever cherish. We plan to return as guests in the future, a testament to how deeply this place and this experience resonated with us.
Victoria went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly, not only for the wedding day itself but for the entire weekend. Beyond the actual wedding events, she organized a golf outing for the groomsmen and a relaxing beach day for the bride and bridesmaids—both of which were the perfect pre-wedding activities, allowing everyone to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Puglia.
Her attention to detail and ability to manage all logistics made the planning process seamless, and she did it all with a smile and sense of calm. She took the stress out of the equation, allowing us to be fully present for our weekend and for our guests. Her coordination with local vendors, her timing, and her ability to handle last-minute changes with grace were invaluable.
What stood out the most was how Victoria truly understood our vision and worked tirelessly to bring it to life. She was a true partner throughout the entire process, offering thoughtful advice while never missing a beat in making sure everything was executed perfectly. The result was a wedding that felt intimate yet unforgettable, with every detail in place and every moment flowing effortlessly.
If you're planning a destination wedding, especially in a region as beautiful and unique as Puglia, we can't recommend Victoria enough. Her professionalism, creativity, and unwavering dedication to making your dream wedding a reality are unmatched. Grazie mille, Victoria, for making our wedding weekend an unforgettable experience! -

Victoria Sent on 09/08/2019Victoria is a total Superhero. She will surpass your every expectation and ensure you have the most beautiful day
Victoria is absolutely amazing. She is one of the most organised, professional and disciplined individuals I have ever worked with. Throughout the entire process she kept me regularly updated, was very quick to respond to questions (whatever the time of day or day of week) she always delivered, whatever the request and then the week of our wedding she surpassed every expectation - despite her having already set the bar exceptionally high. She worked tirelessly for 26 hours straight on our wedding day to ensure everything ran like clockwork - and we can safely say that it was down to her that we had the best day of our lives. Never for one second did I worry that Victoria didn’t have things 100% under control. I can never thank Victoria enough, and I am so sad to have to say goodbye. Hope to see you again soon Victoria! You are a hero xxx -

Louise Sent on 09/11/2024Victoria is a MUST-HAVE for your wedding in Puglia!
Victoria truly organised a wedding beyond our dreams which wouldn't have been possible without her! From the start to finish Victoria was professional, yet personable and a pleasure to work with (we will really miss her now after our wedding as she was so lovely to work with!)
After knowing we wanted to get married in Puglia, we then of course has no idea where to start! We started working with Victoria who came highly recommended.
Victoria has a wealth of expertise, knowledge and recommendations covering everything from vendors to special touches for the day. Everything always felt under control and Victoria was always on hand to help out with all of our questions - big or small! Victoria is organised and has excellent communication. She was always contactable and responsive and she made the whole planning process so fun and stress free! Victoria's amazing connections even meant she managed to secure discounts from vendors and arranged a videographer at extremely late notice (1 week before after our personal family connection dropped out and Victoria had top videographer organised and contracted within a matter of hours).
On the wedding day, Victoria made everything so easy, stress-free and special! We even had guests who work on large-scale events in the UK comment with how amazing a planner she is.
We will forever be grateful for Victoria organising the best day of our lives!

Katie Sent on 10/02/2019The most incredible person you’ll ever work with.
If you are considering Victoria as your wedding planner, stop reading and book her immediately. There are not enough words to describe how incredible she is.
We were introduced to Victoria and before we decided to have our wedding in Puglia, she was so helpful. Out of 3 planners I reached out to, she was the only one who responded within minutes (the other two took 4 and 6 weeks to respond). We live in the US and she coordinated for my sister to fly over from London and visit several venues before we made a decision. This was all before we had even moved forward with Victoria. From day 0, she went above and beyond.
We had never visited Puglia and were not planning to see our venue until the week of our wedding. We took a huge leap of faith which would not have been possible without Victoria. She understood exactly what we were looking for, made suggestions to add or amend things we may not have considered, was incredibly responsive and not only coordinated our entire wedding day, but the two events we held before (cooking class and welcome event) and recovery brunch / pool party the day after.
Victoria coordinated every guests accommodation, transfers from the airport / train station, extra curricular activities and even provided suggestions for other parts of Italy our guests were visiting!
Victoria was also present at all four of our wedding events. Not just for a couple of hours, but the entire duration (including getting there early to make sure things were setup). On the day of our wedding, she was at our venue before 9am and didn’t leave until the last guests left around 3:30am (despite us telling her to go to bed and we’ll handle our stragglers!).
I cannot explain how incredible our wedding weekend was and it was all made possible thanks to Victoria. She thinks of everything, she’s 3 steps ahead of you and will make your wedding simply perfect. The best decision you can make, ismaking her your wedding planner. -

Suzy Sent on 07/28/2024It was easy, even if we were working from across the globe.
Our wedding was perfect, it was because we had Victoria.
Planning my wedding was a breeze, I honestly enjoyed the process. Working from across the globe, speaking only in hours that is workable in Italian and Philippine time, I initially thought it was all stress and headache. I was very fortunate that that wasn’t the case at all, a great wedding planner is all you need.
Victoria is a professional, she would guide you with the schedules, documents, payables, and all the administrative work that brides and grooms would most likely forget.
She has good taste. It’s important your wedding planner understands your vision very well because she is aware of what works and what doesn’t. She gives great suggestions, I ask her opinion, and I personally think venue set-up is her forte.
She would go the extra mile for her brides (as long as it’s nothing too much or impossible to ask). Our limoncello set-up, the welcome dinner set-up, would not be possible without her suggestions.
More than her capability to be organized, be on time with her deliverables, her overall professionalism and good taste, what is most important is her personality. Do not let the strong physique fool you, she is a marshmallow, a kind, dog-loving sweetheart and we are so lucky to have worked with her. She is tough when she needs to be (like processing wedding papers!) She gets the work done, finds solutions to problems (like the erratic weather) and won’t make her brides feel stressed in the process. She. Is. amazing. -
