In the heart of Italy, a country celebrated for its enchanting landscapes, rich history, and the indelible romance that seems to float through the air. Cinzia Beretta and Valentina Pioltelli together with their team at Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events have carved a niche in the realm of luxury destination weddings. With an innate passion for elegance and a discerning eye for exceptional detail, they have transformed the dreams of countless couples into splendid realities, offering a glimpse into what true bespoke wedding planning entails.
Their entry into the world of wedding planning was no mere coincidence but a destined convergence of extensive backgrounds in luxury industries, fashion, architecture, and design. As they put it, “We are a dedicated and international team of skilled, highly professional destination wedding planners based in Italy. Our wedding planning & designing agency is specialized in crafting unique and bespoke weddings throughout Italy and Europe. With many years of experience in the luxury industry, fashion, architecture, and design we know the value of planning stylish events and have an eye for the very best.” This unique amalgamation of experiences birthed Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events, a venture that stands as a beacon of excellence in the wedding planning industry.
At the core of Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events is a philosophy that champions the uniqueness of each couple. In their words, “At Bespoke, we’re driven by the idea that the best things are born from diligence, listening and fun. Pleasure in our jobs puts perfection in our work – we understand the importance of identity, creativity, and individuality in everything we do, and in every one of OUR LUXURY DESTINATION WEDDINGS.” This commitment to customization and quality has distinguished Bespoke in the industry, making each wedding not just an event, but a cherished, glamorous, and fun-filled celebration.
The team approaches wedding planning with a holistic lens, “We offer a full wedding planning service, which means that we take care of everything, from when our guests land in Italy (transfers, accommodation, concierge services) to the day they leave. They can rely on us to find the most talented professionals in the industry. From choosing the perfect location to making sure that they have the best caterers, photographers, videographers, boats, transportation, hairdressers, make-up artist and floral designers in the area, we have every element of their wedding day covered, and we guide them every step of the way!” This bespoke service is not just about meeting expectations but about creating experiences that resonate with individuality and elegance.
When prompted about the most memorable wedding the team has planned, they recall the grand celebration of Alex & Sandra at Villa Olmo on Lake Como. “It was a blast! 280 guests, a really exclusive wedding venue in Lake Como, very challenging being a public venue with lots of logistics, security and public restrictions and requirements to manage,” they share. Despite the challenges of organizing such a lavish event in a public venue, the wedding stood out as a testament to the Bespoke team's expertise in navigating complex logistics and security constraints.
The journey to a perfect wedding is often fraught with challenges, from last-minute changes to managing the lofty expectations that accompany luxury events. The team’s approach to these obstacles is grounded in transparency, meticulous planning, and a dedication to fulfilling the couple's vision without compromise. They emphasize, “We are always transparent and let them know every detail, constraints, hidden costs related to each service for them to take proper decisions and avoid any kind of later bad surprises; we are their account managers, following their wedding project and design in the most professional way. Management means being the filter between the clients and the suppliers.”
When it comes to specific venues, Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events have their signature locations that add a touch of magic to their weddings. These venues include the illustrious VILLA ERBA, the enchanting VILLA BALBIANO, and the picturesque VILLA PIZZO. Each of these venues holds its unique charm, offering couples the opportunity to create unforgettable memories against the backdrop of Italy's most captivating settings.
In the realm of budget management, Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events takes a proactive approach. They share, “We develop from the very beginning a previsional starting from budget according to the chosen location and our experienced costs.” This meticulous planning ensures that couples have a clear understanding of the financial aspects of their dream wedding, helping them make informed decisions while staying within their budget.
For couples currently planning their weddings, the team offers sage advice, stating, “A destination wedding in Italy means having a good budget.” While the allure of an Italian destination wedding is undeniable, it's essential for couples to be prepared for the financial commitment it entails. Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events works closely with couples to align their visions with realistic budgets, ensuring that the journey to their dream wedding is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
As for their dream wedding venue, Cinzia acknowledges the abundance of stunning options available in Italy, making the choice a delightful challenge. She shares, “We are blessed because there are a lot of beautiful venues! The choice is really hard.” It's a testament to Italy's rich tapestry of captivating locations that continually inspires Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events to craft bespoke weddings that reflect the unique love stories of each couple.
For Bespoke Unique Weddings & Events, the ideal wedding venue transcends geographical beauty, focusing instead on the opportunity to craft an event that deeply reflects the couple's personal story and aspirations. Italy offers a plethora of stunning venues, but the dream is to plan a wedding where every detail mirrors the couple's journey and dreams. That, for us, is the essence of a true Bespoke wedding.
