OUR FULL WEDDING PLANNING
& DESIGN EXPERIENCE
"THE VENEZIA"
Specifically designed for the busy couple and the couple who has no idea where to start and would like expert guidance from the beginning.
It covers literally everything about your wedding, from the vision and design to vendor selection, etiquette advisor, budgeting, management of the day of the wedding. We start of with finding out your story, your style, your personality and your vision and we guide you every step of the way. You won't have to worry about a thing, we will provide you the options, you select the one you like and we'll work with the vendor team to bring to life the wedding you have imagined.
WHY HIRING A FULL SERVICE WEDDING PLANNER & DESIGNER FROM THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PLANNING PROCESS?
-
Avoiding costly mistakes such as allocating too much for a specific vendor, without knowing industry pricing
-
Getting all the important information that you won't know to ask about a venue, before signing a contract
-
Hiring vendors that are professional, know what they are doing and breath and live weddings. Remember, the magic can be done when the team works!

We work closely with you to understand your financial preferences and priorities, allowing us to create a tailored plan that aligns with your vision while staying within your budgetary expectations.

"We utilized the full wedding planning and design package and worked with Valentina for over a year up until our big day. She helped us refine our vision and determine what elements were most important to us.he worked hard to first understand the feel we wanted to give our guests, and then offer suggestions and insight on how to achieve our vision. We had the most beautiful wedding and definitely would not have been able to pull it off without Valentina! She took away all the stress and work of wedding planning and made it a fun, enjoyable experience. "

VENUE SEARCH ADD-ON
When I work with couples that hire me for venue search, we start with the vision you have and the overall budget for the wedding. I then work my magic and sift through the hundreds of venues to create a list of what would fit best, based on your vision. We will go through everything: food and beverage minimums, room blocks, attrition, style, backup plans, events paces, and more so that you can find your perfect venue without worrying about making a mistake or missing any important information.
OUR WEDDING MANAGEMENT/COORDINATION
+ DESIGN EXPERIENCE
"THE PORTOFINO"
You know you want your wedding to be beautiful. You know you like that color.... But you also like the other color.... And you like that wooden farm table but you might want to have round tables with specialty tablecloth.....You know, you don't know where to start! "Who should I contact? Which company has that charger or that color of tablecloth? But I don't have time to take care of this. What's the price of this and that... I already feel overwhelmed".
We will start with a consultation and I will guide you through the creation of a detailed design board for every single detail from color scheme, flowers, decor, tabletop, rentals, cake and much more.
Once the design is completed, you wil proceed with the wedding planning and booking other non design related vendors. We will restart working together on the coordination 2 months before the wedding day!
"She asked me all the right questions to get a feel for my vision and came up with a design presentation that was so detailed and on point! We were stunned by how attentive she had been and how Valentina listened to our ideas and helped us to create a truly unique and special day. "
