Sicily—a land of timeless beauty, rich traditions, and captivating authenticity—served as the perfect backdrop for the birth of My Sicily Wedding. With a story that began 18 years ago, this wedding planning company is not just about creating weddings but curating experiences that embody the heart and soul of Sicily.
“I'm originally from the Czech Republic and came to Sicily only for vacation 18 years ago, so very captured by this amazing island and its authenticity that I'm focusing on to introduce to the events. I love to make real authentic Sicilian experiences.”
What started as a getaway quickly turned into a lifelong passion. The charm of Sicily inspired a shift in career paths and ignited a desire to share the island’s unparalleled allure with couples worldwide.
Her first steps into wedding planning came in 2016 when a Finnish couple entrusted her with their special day. The success of that event marked a turning point:
“I seriously became interested in this sector after receiving requests from my friends in Switzerland, including planning a gay wedding. That’s when I decided to fully immerse myself, completing various schools, academies, and courses focused on destination weddings.”
When asked about what she loves most about her work, the answer is simple yet profound:
“EMOTIONS with my couples, and reactions of the guests once they really can see something autenthic. To introduce my passion for this island to others.”
For My Sicily Wedding, it’s not just about orchestrating events—it’s about creating connections, both with the island and among the people who experience it. Authenticity is at the core of every celebration:
“To be authentic and create experiences, not just weddings.”
Understanding that no two couples are the same, My Sicily Wedding offers fully personalized planning services. From coordinating ceremonies to working with a trusted team of designers and florists, every detail is tailored to the couple’s vision:
“Each couple is completely different. In my team are designers and florists, so we can absolutely create a customized service.”
One of the keys to the company’s success is its dedication to communication:
“I prefer to have a lot of video calls rather than a lot of emails. This helps me understand the character of my couples, so we are perfectly in sync when responding to their needs. Communication is very fast.”
This hands-on approach ensures that every client feels seen, heard, and valued throughout the planning process.
For My Sicily Wedding, the most memorable events are those that celebrate the island’s cultural richness:
“It’s difficult to say, but I love true Sicilian style the most because I’m really focused on that.”
From venues like Tonnara di Scopello, a dreamy favorite, to Castello Xirumi, every location is chosen to reflect Sicily’s unique charm:
“Tonnara di Scopello is my dreamy venue always.”
Like many in the wedding industry, the challenges brought by COVID-19 tested the company’s resilience:
“To keep the agency open after COVID, I think, was the biggest challenge.”
Despite the difficulties, My Sicily Wedding emerged stronger, committed to sharing Sicily’s beauty with couples from around the globe.
Transparency is a hallmark of My Sicily Wedding’s philosophy:
“To be very transparent and direct with my couples.”
When it comes to advice for those embarking on their planning journey, she emphasizes the importance of trusting your planner:
“Be careful when contacting vendors yourself. Trust your planner to guide you.”
My Sicily Wedding is proud to collaborate with some of Sicily’s finest vendors:
“Yes, Noiduewedding florist, Vincenzo Ingrassia, Kalynchuk, and Infamous Wedding.”
This curated network ensures that every wedding is executed flawlessly, with a touch of Sicilian magic.
As My Sicily Wedding continues to grow, its founder remains deeply rooted in her love for Sicily and its traditions:
“I think Sicily is a really unique place, where you can still find humanity, very high quality of life, wonderful people with big hearts, and amazing hospitality. In the end, that’s what I love most about it.”
With a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, My Sicily Wedding is not just planning events; it’s weaving the magic of Sicily into the fabric of every celebration. For couples dreaming of an authentic destination wedding, there’s no better place—and no better guide—than My Sicily Wedding.
