A Planner Who Understands How Venues Work
Valentina Weddings & Events is a luxury wedding planning and design company based in North County San Diego and Lake Como, Italy. Founded in 2016 by Valentina Porro, the company produces a limited number of weddings each year for couples who value understated elegance, a remarkable guest experience and precise execution.
Valentina began her career in luxury hotels, venues and catering before opening her own company. That background is her greatest asset. She knows how a property operates behind the scenes, which questions to ask before a contract is signed, and how to build a production schedule that works for the couple, the guests and every creative partner.
A beautifully designed wedding must always be paired with a flawless execution to become a memorable event. For this reason, design and logistics are planned together from the first conversation. For a closer look at our planning and design services, please see our San Diego full-service wedding planner.
Where We Plan Weddings in San Diego
We produce weddings throughout San Diego County, including Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas and Coronado, as well as in Italy. Our celebrations have taken place at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, The Lodge at Torrey Pines, Alila Marea Beach Resort, Estancia La Jolla and the San Diego Museum of Art, as well as on private estates. Each setting asks for a different approach. An oceanfront resort, a museum and a private estate have very different requirements for access, power, catering, sound and timing. Knowing these in advance allows us to resolve issues before they arise.
Many of our couples host guests for two to four days. We plan the welcome evening, the wedding day and the farewell gathering as one experience, so that each event has its own character and the weekend flows with ease.
Planning From Out of State
Many of our couples live elsewhere in the United States and choose San Diego because the place means something to them. We become their eyes and hands here. We lead the site visits, attend the tastings, and read every venue contract and BEO before it is signed, asking the questions a couple would not know to ask. Our couples can make decisions from wherever they live and arrive for the wedding weekend knowing every detail has been handled.
