Top 5 A dreamer but with my feet on the ground: that's how I could describe myself. As a wedding planner, I have 350 weddings behind me. Many more are ahead of me, all still to be imagined. And ``imagine`` is truly a key word for me, creative by nature with a mission in mind: to transform wishes into reality, infusing the weddings I organize with the atmosphere of a love story that is different every time, always unique. Before being able to carry out what I now feel is my true vocation, my path was long and varied: during my studies at IULM in Milan, a job as a junior account at high levels and in the field of large musical events and then the transition to the world of beauty as a sales analyst and buyer, roles that have refined the concrete and decisive side of my character. With skills in managing numbers and budgets combined with my lively creativity, in 2009 I finally felt ready to start my own agency, first in Bologna and then, since 2014, in Florence, operating in the territories of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.

I’m so glad I trusted Mari with every single decision throughout the entire wedding planning process, because she brought our wedding to life beyond what we could have ever hoped for. The relationships she has with the vendors she works with are invaluable – we had the most amazing vendor team cultivated and lead by her. She took all of my creative ideas and made them come to life - from a colorful, wavy table that that matched an even more colorful, wavy wedding aisle, a dinner with whimsical draping and sparkling lights, and a party like no other - every design and detail took your breath away. It was truly because of her creativity in design, attention to deal, and easygoing nature that made all the difference. Wedding day can be stressful, but Mari’s sweet, calm, laid back personality was exactly what I needed, and it was because of who she is that I was able to completely trust her with every decision. It’s one thing planning a wedding from afar and putting together mood boards and color pallettes, but it’s another thing to feel it all come together so seamlessly, to step foot in the villa that doesn’t do pictures justice, and seeing the incredible aisle, dinner table, and party that we created. It was the best day of our lives!
I know that Mari will be a forever dear friend to me, and that I will always have her friendship whenever I go back to Italy. You need to hire her – she will make all of the difference.
Marilena, Isabella e Aurora sono state come tre fiamme creative che hanno trasformato ogni aspetto della giornata in pura magia. Ogni dettaglio, ogni istante, l'armonia impeccabile dei fornitori e la grazia con cui hanno superato ogni imprevisto ci ha lasciato senza parole. Sapevamo di essere in buone mani, ma la loro dedizione e passione hanno superato di gran lunga ogni aspettativa.
Se cercate delle “fatine madrine” per rendere il vostro giorno speciale davvero unico, non cercate oltre! Loro sono sicuramente la scelta migliore per un matrimonio da favola che si trasformerà in un ricordo indimenticabile.
Grazie, di cuore, a voi e a tutto il team.
Vi portiamo nei nostri cuori sempre.
Jessica e Francesco
“L’ UNICO DIFETTO DELLA GIORNATA È CHE SIA FINITA.”
Challenges were multiple: double postponement because of the pandemic, guests coming from all over the world, bride and groom living far from the location but with precise ideas in terms of style, food, storytelling, two days of wedding with two different ceremonies, and so much more. But Mari and her team navigated us through all of it like a breeze on a sunny day of sailing.
You know what? We have been and still are the happiest and will celebrate our wedding again tomorrow with fresh minds, no doubts and Marilena at our side.
Marilena's suggestion of venue was a true masterpiece – a charming Tuscan villa that left all our guests in awe. The decor and floral arrangements were nothing short of breathtaking, turning our dream wedding into a reality that exceeded our wildest expectations.
On the day itself, Marilena's presence was a calming force amidst the excitement. She ensured that everything ran like clockwork, coordinating vendors, managing the timeline, and making sure each element unfolded seamlessly. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment, knowing that Marilena had everything under control.
Our guests still rave about the delicious Tuscan cuisine and impeccable service that Marilena arranged. It was evident that she poured her heart and soul into every detail, making our special day not just a wedding, but an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
Marilena's warmth, professionalism, and dedication made her more than just a wedding planner – she became a cherished partner who shared in our happiness. If you're seeking a wedding planner who will transform your dreams into reality with an unparalleled level of care and expertise, Marilena is the one you can trust.
Everything went very smoothly and all of our guests had an amazing time. We can’t thank you enough Marilena the whole event was managed and coordinated perfectly!
E per coppie italiane— Mari e i fornitori che conosce sono tutti professionisti, gentili, e entusiasti. Grazie di tutto cuore!
