In the heart of the Mediterranean, where the sea meets the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, Corinne, the mastermind behind Sparx Wedding, transforms love stories into unforgettable celebrations. A wedding planner with a passion for blending tradition, elegance, and the unique beauty of Sicily, Corinne’s journey is as enchanting as the weddings she creates.
"Buongiorno! I’m Corinne, the passionate soul behind Sparx." With these words, Corinne welcomes couples into her world, a realm where dreams take center stage. Born and raised in the charming town of Taormina, Sicily, Corinne has always been captivated by her homeland’s rich tapestry of traditions, history, and natural beauty.
Her background in hospitality and event management, combined with an innate appreciation for the art of romance, laid the foundation for Sparx Wedding.
Sparx Wedding is not just a business—it’s a philosophy. “At Sparx, our philosophy centers around crafting deeply personalized, unforgettable experiences that celebrate each couple's unique story. We believe in blending timeless elegance with authentic Sicilian charm, focusing on every detail to create a seamless, memorable event,” Corinne explains. Every wedding planned by Sparx is a reflection of the couple's personality, infused with timeless elegance and authentic Sicilian charm.
The hallmark of Sparx lies in multi-day weddings, which Corinne finds particularly inspiring. “Sicily’s rich history and stunning backdrops provide the perfect setting for an extended celebration. Multi-day events let us curate a journey that celebrates not just a single day, but an entire experience.”
With a meticulous eye for detail and a flair for creativity, Corinne collaborates closely with her clients to bring their dreams to life. Her approach is simple yet effective: “ I collaborate closely with my clients to curate bespoke weddings that reflect their personalities, style, and cultural influences.” This ensures that every element of the wedding is a reflection of the couple’s vision.
One of her most memorable weddings was a three-day celebration in Noto, a city renowned for its Baroque beauty. “We had the opportunity to start with a welcome event right in the heart of this enchanting Baroque city, immersing guests in Noto’s historic charm from the very beginning. The multi-day format allowed us to explore unique locations and create an unforgettable experience, combining cultural richness with personal touches that truly reflected the couple's style. From start to finish, the entire event was a beautiful journey through Sicily’s warmth and elegance, making it an experience.”
Wedding planning is not without its hurdles, but Corinne meets each challenge with grace. One recurring obstacle is helping clients understand the full scope of a wedding planner’s role. “Clients not fully understanding the role of a wedding planner,” she shares.
Budgeting is another area where Corinne’s expertise shines. “Staying on budget is all about setting clear priorities and focusing on what truly matters to you as a couple. My main advice is to start by identifying the elements that are most important—whether it’s the venue, catering, or entertainment—and allocating more of the budget there.”
Sparx Wedding offers full-service wedding planning, ensuring that every detail is meticulously handled. From venue selection and vendor coordination to personalized stationery design, Corinne and her team provide a seamless experience. “At Sparx, we focus exclusively on full planning services. We believe this comprehensive approach is the best way to ensure a seamless, high-quality experience for our clients. From the initial concept to the final details, we handle every aspect of planning, giving you the freedom to enjoy the journey,” she explains.
This bespoke philosophy extends to every aspect of the planning process. “We work closely with each couple to ensure the experience reflects their specific needs, blending our expertise with their vision to create a memorable celebration.”
For couples embarking on their wedding journey, Corinne has one essential piece of advice: “Book the wedding planning service as soon as possible, ideally 18–24 months in advance, to ensure availability and allow ample time for planning.”
Sicily is at the heart of everything Sparx Wedding represents. From its stunning landscapes to its vibrant culture, the island serves as both inspiration and canvas. “I like to work with many different venues to ensure that each wedding is different one from another,” Corinne says. This diversity allows her to create celebrations that are as unique as the couples themselves.
With Sparx Wedding, couples are not just booking a planner—they’re gaining a storyteller, a guide, and a friend.
For those dreaming of a Sicilian wedding steeped in elegance and authenticity, Sparx Wedding is the perfect partner to make those dreams come true.
