Parade Wedding Planner

Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming—especially if you're a Type A personality like me. I need every detail organized, every step planned, and every budget item tracked. I can honestly say that Anna and the team at Parade Wedding exceeded every expectation and made the entire experience genuinely fun and exciting.
We interviewed five destination wedding planners, narrowing them down based on Google reviews and wedding site recommendations. Parade Wedding stood out because their presentation was the most thorough—complete with a detailed budget breakdown, timeline, and vendor options. But what truly set them apart was Anna's warmth and constant reassurance throughout the process. We didn’t know much about Rome other than having visited once as tourists, but they made us feel supported, so much so that we never needed to fly in during planning.
Anna took my vague vision and a handful of aspirational photos and turned them into a stunning reality. She scouted venues that matched our taste, hosted virtual site visits, stayed within budget, and found options that fit our guest count perfectly. The same level of care went into selecting other vendors for us—photographer, florist, makeup artist, celebrant, string trio, even custom menu negotiations with the hotel. She provided carefully curated options, and all I had to do was pick my favorite.
What impressed me most—Anna never once said “no.” No matter how specific or complicated the request, she always found a way to make it happen. I truly commend her for that. Her calm, can-do energy was everything I needed, especially when I felt things weren’t moving fast enough for my pace. She explained the process, helped me trust the timeline, and in the end, everything was exactly as it far beyond than “it should be”.
Anna also ensured our hotel went above and beyond. From setup to rehearsal, she managed every detail. On the wedding day, she was at the venue from 10 AM. checking in every vendor and perfecting every detail. The result? A wedding even more beautiful than I could have wished for. Our guests are still talking about how incredible it was.
Anna stayed until the cake was cut, wished us well, and even followed up after the wedding to make sure everything was perfect.
If you're considering a destination wedding, do yourself a favor and hire professionals—especially Anna and the Parade Wedding team. I met a couple during our honeymoon who were trying to plan their wedding from the U.S. on their own—they had already spent nearly $5k just trying to find a venue, with little progress. I recommended Parade Wedding to them

Working with Giorgia, Marta, and Anna at PARADE Wedding was an absolute pleasure. Their professionalism, kindness, and dedication made our wedding planning experience seamless and enjoyable.

From the beginning, they were incredibly helpful and supportive, always going the extra mile to accommodate our needs. Their expertise in navigating potential challenges and offering creative solutions ensured that every detail was taken care of. We were impressed by their open-mindedness and willingness to incorporate our suggestions and preferences, making the entire process truly collaborative.

One of the things we appreciated most was their ability to provide a wide range of options for different suppliers, allowing us to find the perfect fit for our vision. Additionally, they were incredibly accommodating of our unique cultural background, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding reflected our heritage and traditions.

Throughout the planning process, Giorgia, Marta, and Anna were always friendly, responsive, and on top of everything. Their positive attitude and enthusiasm made working with them a delightful experience. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication, which ultimately contributed to the success of our dream wedding.

We wholeheartedly recommend PARADE Wedding to any couple seeking a professional, supportive, and creative wedding planning team.

It was a privilege and pleasure to work with Parade Wedding (Giorgia and Marta) and to be around their incredible energy during our wedding planning process. They never said no to any request we made, they were incredibly responsive (during all weekends or public holidays), they absolutely beared with us for all of our biweekly calls (which were incredibly helpful), they connected us with only the best people and they understood us so well. They were always so nice, positive and kind.

And the wedding weekend came after all those calls, thoughts and effort. Everything was seamless during our Welcome Event and Wedding. Everything was perfectly executed. As the bride and groom, our only job was to enjoy the event and we never got interrupted by any organizational issues. We can’t tell you how much fun we had.

We wanted a big party and the Parade Wedding team delivered an amazing party. All the vendors they connected us with were exceptional, professional and super nice. We pretty much changed the whole party flow, and they coped seamlessly. They arranged everything accordingly. They also understood our “partying goals” and knew we shouldn’t interrupt it with food announcements. They were personally helpful to all of us, our families and our guests. They helped our guests (from finding medication to arranging transportation) without us even noticing and whatever we needed, they made it happen seamlessly. Several guests came and told us that our planners were incredible and that this was the best wedding they’ve been to.

They truly were the dream team. They gave us our dream fairytale wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! So much love and gratitude to the Parade Wedding team!

We couldn’t be happier with Anna and the broader Parade team’s work as our wedding planners! From day one, Anna was incredibly responsive and kept everything organized down to the last detail. When we found out rain was likely for our big day, Anna didn’t miss a beat—she went above and beyond to make our Plan B perfect, and it was just as beautiful as we’d dreamed. She was also so patient in accommodating all our requests, (including arranging special vendors for the glasses and ceremony chairs we wanted!).

THANK YOU Parade team, for making our day unforgettable!

Giorgia, Anna, and Marta are super heroes. They made our wedding day special, easy, and truly once-in-a-lifetime. We planned our wedding with them over the course of almost two years, and it was such an easy process. They listened to us, helped us budget, provided so many quality vendors and choices and experiences, and are overall masters of their craft. Because of them, our wedding was splendorous, intimate, unique, and simply perfect. They were with us through the whole three day affair, making sure everything went off without a hitch and that each detail was immaculate. From the menus, to the tablescape, to the lighting, photos, scheduling, and organizing, there was not a single thing they did not handle with efficiency and generosity. We'll never forget them, and we'll never forget our wedding. They were the first people we found and the first people we hired, and if I had to do it again I would go to them again in a heartbeat. Our wedding would not have been our wedding without them. Love forever from Harley and Carley!!!

I didn't even end up hiring them (for other reasons), but still wanted to leave a review. They were by far the nicest, most honest wedding planners I interviewed - and one of only a handful of wedding planners in Italy that don't sneakily load commission onto vendor quotes. In fact, they are so revered for their honesty and ethics, even other wedding planners in Italy can't help but rave about them. Biggest regret of my wedding was not hiring them - their reputation speaks for itself!

I have known Giorgia and Anna for some time because we work in the same area and I have always loved them and their way of working. When my fiancé and I decided to get married we had no doubts, they had to be there! Actually they saved my ceremony!
Their Italian taste has a fantastic international flavor, they are creative and very organized and they are SPECIAL people. And if there is someone out there who is thinking to contact an Italian WP team, well you have to have them!!!

Giorgia and Agnese were incredible to work with in planning and coordinating our wedding in Tuscany. They accounted for every detail and left us wowed with the final result. It was a pleasure to work with both of them! Although we were nervous planning our wedding (and welcome dinner) in Italy from the US, they calmed our nerves and communicated through every step of the way! It was amazing finally getting to meet them; they were so kind and easygoing. It felt like we were old friends after just a breif moment meeting in person. Parade went above and beyond to make our weekend truly special. They exceeded all expectations and made all our dreams come true. I am so thankful to have met the team at Parade, they were truly amazing!
