Weddings here are simply magical and leave you with memories of a day you’ll treasure forever. I’ve overseen over 100 weddings in Puglia and can help you find the perfect location – from a traditional masseria to an ancient castle, all in beautiful settings.

Surpassed all expectations

Victoria was more than a planner throughout the entire 8 months leading to our wedding. She thought about things we would have never thought of and managed to surpass all of our expectations of what our dream wedding would be. Months later our guests are still talking about our wedding, and we couldn’t have done it without Victoria. She was always available to answer any of our questions. We live in Canada and so planned everything through our phone calls and emails with her, which could have been a stressful experience and risky. But she found us the best vendors for what we wanted and at unbelievable pricing. She also helped us plan a recovery beach day which was the perfect event for the day after our wedding. On our wedding day she was the first one there (long before I even showed up) and was well organized and took care of literally everything – all we had to do was show up. Seeing everything just come together so beautifully that day was a dream come true. Victoria was also our officiant and did a wonderful job. We cannot thank her enough for everything and we feel that we were very lucky to have her with us along every step of the way. Like I said, she was more than a planner, and we will always hold very fond our memories of her contribution to the best day of our lives.

The absolute best

It’s difficult to describe just how incredible Victoria is. From the first conversation I had with her over the phone I knew immediately she was the one to help plan the biggest day of our lives. Her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail is like no other. She really listens to your vision and gets to you personally to work to capture everything you want in your day.
Words honestly can’t do her or her work justice, she’s incredible and by far the best and most respected planner in Puglia. Deciding to choose Victoria will be the best decision you make.
Thank you again Victoria

Incredible wedding planner and now a friend!

Just WOW… no need to look any further than Victoria to plan your wedding. She helped us plan the most incredible 3 day celebration and made all of our dreams come true!
We began planning our wedding in Puglia without Victoria but soon realised that we needed support looking for local based vendors and unique things to bring our ideas to life. We met Victoria 6 months before our wedding when we came out to Puglia to do our food tasting, but months before that we would spend hours on the phone talking about our wedding vision and also allowing Victoria to get to know us. Conveniently, Victoria would allow us to schedule calls in the evenings and weekends, so we weren’t having to juggle conversations around work time.
We decided to have our civil ceremony in Italy too and although at first it seemed like quite a long process with all of the paperwork, Victoria made it so easy and also did all of the translations for us.
The logistics of getting guests to and from airports and finding them somewhere to stay was something that I was most worried about but again Victoria made it so easy.
Our wedding day was everything we imagined and being the control freak I am, I was always going to struggle letting someone else put together all the final details such as the table decorations and flowers, but we put 100% faith in Victoria and her assistant and everything was perfect. All our guests said how amazing the wedding was and everyone partied to the early hours of the morning whilst Victoria stayed until the end to make sure everyone got home.
When planning such a significant event in your life it is so important to find the right person to plan it with and Victoria is that person and now a friend!

The 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.

Beyond perfect: Victoria is a dream to work with & an absolute hero planner. She was the best decision we made for our whole wedding!

We honestly cannot recommend Victoria highly enough: our wedding was the best weekend of our lives and she played a huge role in every aspect of it. We never could have pulled it off without her even if we’d had years to plan it.

Victoria helped us with everything from day one: booking her was the first decision we made (after deciding to get married!) and it was definitely the best decision we made. She understood what we wanted, suggested vendors who were perfectly suited to our tastes, shared her insider knowledge and approached everything with an incredible spirit of warmth, patience, professionalism and calm.

Living in the UK meant having someone we could trust to run things for us in Puglia was even more important. Victoria arranged all the accommodation options for our guest not staying in the Masseria; she booked all the transport for them; helped people book hairdresser and barber’s appointments; suggested restaurants… honestly nothing was too much trouble.

We had regular calls with her in the lead up to everything and she also accompanied us on our tasting visit in Puglia which was so helpful. Over the wedding weekend itself, she was on hand for anything and everything and had every little detail covered. Victoria also acted as celebrant for our service and did a perfect job in what was a very personal and emotional service. She was with us from first thing in the morning of the wedding day until the last guests had left about 20 or so hours later. Having her there meant we did not have to worry about a thing and made the whole wedding journey – from the first stages of planning to hitting the dance floor – smooth, stress-free and an absolute joy.

On a personal note, as a bride, I found Victoria a hugely calming presence; honestly a calm look or a big hug from her was so reassuring whenever any nerves or worries arose. All our guests also said how awesome she is to us, and without exception every other vendor we worked with on the wedding told us how much they love working with her. She feels like part of our family now and we honestly cannot recommend her enough. Just book her, it will be the best decision you make!

Victoria 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

Great experience!

Our experience with Victoria was absolutely fantastic. The result was incredible and the planning with her was truly enjoyable. Victoria accompanied us through every step of the way of planning our wedding, was extremely responsive, patient and accommodating. We gave her the vision and she implemented it perfectly. Our festivities took place over two days and she remained by our side throughout, ensuring that everything was going according to plan. When rain started pouring one hour before the start of the wedding, Victoria remained calm and dealt with the situation very efficiently and smoothly.

As all our guests came to Puglia from abroad, Victoria was very helpful in helping them arrange accommodation, transportation, hair and makeup and answering their various queries including about activities to do in the area.

We are very grateful to Victoria for her magnificent work. She is a delight to work with both professionally and as a person. It was difficult to say goodbye to Victoria at the end of the wedding as we felt that she had become a member of the family. We look forward to staying in touch, and thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Best wedding planner in Italy/Puglia!!

I found Victoria on wedding wire. She was the only wedding planner that I reached out to who responded right away and immediately started brainstorming. She also had a very reasonable rate. Throughout the process, she was responsive and thoughtful. She also told me to trust her and I’m glad I did because my wedding was better than I could have ever imagined. I was planning it from Los Angeles and we did not visit for different sights or tasting. Victoria did everything. I loved the venues, the photographer, my hair and make up, the videographer and live band and dj. I had the perfect wedding day. We had 90 people fly into Puglia for the wedding and Victoria helped guests with places to stay and transportation. I love her and you should hire her if you want a fantastic wedding. She also creates a very detailed budget and is very budget conscious throughout.

Exceeded our expectations

I stumbled upon Victoria’s website through many days and weeks of online searching for a wedding planner. I messaged her and within hours she responded and we connected from there. Me and my husband are from NYC. We’ve been to Italy but never to Puglia. There had to be a lot of comfort and trust in the wedding planner to help us plan it all within a year and Victoria not only done that, she’s exceeded our expectation. She was very patient and gave us as much details as she could with every selection. We exchanged mostly via emails and conference calls. Not to mention she was very accommodating with the timing of our calls since we’re in different time zones. We had a small wedding in the lovely town of Polignano a Mare. Victoria planned our 3- day wedding events. She had great ideas that fell within our budget, which was an important factor for us. Upon arriving in Puglia, she immediately reached out to meet up and stayed with us through the entire 3 days event to make sure everything was taken care of and in order. She was also very helpful to my guests. We couldnt have done it without her. She was very resourceful and the vendors she helped us selected were amazing from music, to caterer, to floral arrangement. Victoria was a very warm and friendly person yet professional at what she does hence she felt like a close friend to us and it was emotional for us to part ways after the wedding. There’s no hesitation to ever hire Victoria again for any events especially recommending her as your wedding planner and officiant.

The best in the business..

Where do we start…

We made contact with Victoria 12 weeks out from what would turn out to be the most perfect day of our lives!

Victoria is an absolute pro and a master of understanding her clients wants & needs whilst offering advice and suggestions only an experienced planner could give. She was the perfect conduit between us and the vendors all of which she recommended and organised.
Her communication was outstanding and one of her greatest strengths. She has the unique ability to ensure everyone was calm amidst the excitement and adrenaline only achieved by being a true professional.

We threw a barrage of last minute requests at Victoria which she handled with grace and made us feel completely at ease with. She went above and beyond to deliver a perfect day.

On the day her attention to detail was flawless, she was with us every step of the way and helped with absolutely every detail.

A million thankyou’s Victoria, you are truly an amazing woman. The day you created for us will be in our hearts forever.

We couldn’t recommend a more perfect wedding planner.

Aretha and Jay
