It was indeed an Italian dream wedding!

I got to know Carla through a common friend when I visited Italy for work. At that point, my husband and I liked the idea of having a destination wedding in Italy, but we were also hesitant about if we really wanted to go through all the preparations for the wedding remotely. Carla convinced me shortly after our first meet with an excellent tailored proposal that includes the venue, suppliers, and budget. She guided us in each step and made sure everything was on track. She is such a hardworking, responsive, and wonderful wedding planner who also helped us overcome all the cultural differences and local customs unfamiliar to us. Thanks to her efforts, we had everything ready almost two weeks before the big day. Then we were able to have all our time to receive our guests from all over the world without rush. We and all our guests were amazed by the wedding, the venue (vineyard with its own wine production and food menu), setting, lights, flowers, music, photographs, wedding cake, literally everything. She truly helped us realize an Italian dream wedding as her company's name already suggests. If you dream of a perfect wedding in Italy, Carla can definitely help you realize that dream.

Absolutely Fantastic Experience

Carla was incredibly organized and detail-oriented but managed to make the wedding planning process feel easy (even across different time zones). She helped us find wonderful local vendors and coordinated all of the details so the wedding day went smoothly. We highly recommend working with Carla as her careful planning allowed us to fully enjoy the experience.

The perfect celebrant, highly recommend!

The best celebrant we could possibly have wished for. Carla made our multilingual (English & Italian) wedding ceremony incredibly special. She is professional, engaging, and focuses on the details. She makes you feel confident that everything will go smoothly. We highly recommend her!

Team

Carla Pazzaglia
Carla Pazzaglia
Founder & CEO

After finishing my studies, I worked internationally in marketing and communication. For about twenty years, I have been organizing events worldwide until I landed in the fabulous world of weddings!

Trained in the US, I founded the wedding planning agency Italian Dream Weddings. Since then, I have had the pleasure to organize small and large weddings, legally binding, religious, and symbolic weddings, weddings of couples coming from near and from far. Then wedding proposals, anniversaries, vow renewals, wedding experiences.

I operate in the whole country: Tuscany, Venice, Amalfi, Lakes, and all the most amazing places in Italy.

I am passionate about life and love. I am curious and creative, and I tremendously love people.

I am member of IWF International Women Forum, of InterNations and of the International Society of Female Professionals.

I have a great passion for photography, theater, art, reading, traveling.
I love good food (a little less cooking, but I am not so bad!) and good wine. I like to go out and share pleasant evenings with friends. I have a beautiful son who has made his way out of Italy.
I speak Italian, English, French, Spanish, and I get along with German.

I am eager to put my creativity, my passion for life and love, my perseverance, and my experience at the service of your dreams.

If you wish, I would be happy to have a Skype or Whatsapp or Zoom conversation with you, to learn your vision of your wedding, your concerns, your expectations. https://calendly.com/italian-dream-weddings
