Ella Events Planner

This year I had the pleasure of working with Serenella as a wedding photographer and second shooter for a colleague at the beautiful Palazzo Montanari. From start to finish, she was an outstanding coordinator and point of contact—always present, calm, and solution-oriented, even when the weather on the wedding morning created some real challenges.

What impressed me most was how she handled every detail with such professionalism and dedication, doing everything possible to make the bride’s dream come true: an outdoor ceremony and dinner under the string lights in the evening. Thanks to her excellent coordination, all vendors worked seamlessly together, and the entire day was a great success.

Our couple had already shared wonderful things about Serenella beforehand, and I can now confirm every word. It was truly a joy to collaborate with her, and I look forward to working together again in the future. Wholeheartedly recommended!

We had such a great experience!! From start to finish, she was incredibly organized and attentive. There were a few hiccups along the way, but she was always ready to communicate and help us find solutions quickly and calmly. Her professionalism and dedication truly made our wedding day as stress-free as possible. We’re so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

Serenella (Ella) and her wonderful assistant, Nicole, were incredible. We had our wedding in Italy, and they were the most accommodating, kind, and professional planners we could have asked for on our big day. Thanks to them, our wedding process, from planning to the day itself, felt so smooth and low-stress. They came with a flexible schedule, a team of highly experienced vendors, and best of all, were just a joy to be around. Which helped us relax and enjoy. Every detail was lovely--the arrangements, the food--THE FOOD--and the small unexpected touches, like the drinks, the speakers, the weather considerations. It was, not even being hyperbolic, the best day ever. A huge part of that was thanks to Ella and her team. I can't recommend them enough. If you want your dream wedding, there's no better choice.

Please let this be your sign to hire Ella as your wedding planner. I promise you will not regret it.

Ella is kind, easy-going, and truly strives to meet your every need. She takes care of everything, so you don’t have to think about it. We were able to rest easy knowing that every single detail would be handled and all we had to do was enjoy the moment. And when we went off-schedule because we were enjoying the moment a little extra, she would accommodate that too.

My husband and I got married at Villa Sigurta in Valegio sul Minco, Italy in April of 2024. Thanks to Ella and all her hard work, it was straight out of a fairytale. As Americans deciding to get married abroad, wedding planning can be even more overwhelming. I had spoken with several Italian wedding planners before being recommended to Ella by the villa owner. Ella not only went out of her way to make our wedding day special, but she planned an entire week of activities for our group.

Travel is very important to us, so one of the wishes for our wedding week was to have a once in a lifetime trip with our closest friends and family. With Ella’s help, we did exactly that. With her expertise and knowledge of the area, we were able to curate the perfect itinerary. We had private wine tours, buses to different cities, private walking tours, restaraunts, and more. We even had a private boat take us around Lake Garda and a private tour of the Isola del Garda castle. These experiences were perfectly chosen and gave us and our guests unique experiences that we will cherish forever. See attached for part of our itinerary, which Ella had beautifully made and set up in custom gift bags for when our guests arrived.

Ella is more than accommodating in both the planning phase and in the execution phase. She did a great job of giving us options and listening to our requests while still managing the budget wisely. She generally would give us 3 options per vendor as to not overwhelm us but to give us options, which we really appreciated. Once we arrived, she saw to it that our every need was met. She even ran out to get hairdryers and other items for us and our guests.

Our wedding turned out exceptionally stunning, and the memories made are priceless. Ella was such a godsent through the entire process. She is a dedicated, lovely woman and by the end of your wedding planning, you will have a new friend in her. Thank you Ella for making our dreams come true.

Ci siamo affidati a Serenella per il nostro matrimonio e abbiamo trovato la sua attività molto professionale, accurata e in linea con i nostri gusti.
Con noi è sempre stata premurosa, comprensiva e generosa, ci ha consigliato i fornitori e le soluzioni più in linea rispetto al nostro budget e al progetto che abbiamo costruito. Anche i nostri ospiti hanno notato la sua presenza discreta ma sempre disponibile ad aiutare per qualunque necessità. Ha fatto sentire tutti coccolati e a proprio agio.
In particolare, abbiamo apprezzato come ha saputo gestire il giorno del matrimonio, trovando il rimedio, assieme alla sua valida collaboratrice, ai piccoli intoppi che potevano verificarsi.
La ringraziamo di cuore per aver reso il nostro giorno indimenticabile per noi e per tutti i nostri invitati.

Serenella war ein absoluter Glücksgriff. Sie hat uns geholfen unsere Hochzeit in der Nähe von Verona zu organisieren. Ihr Vorgehen war absolut professionell und sie hatte immer eine gute Lösung parat. An der Hochzeit selbst hat sie für einen absolut reibungslosen Ablauf gesorgt. Liebe Serenella, vielen Dank für deine großartige Leistung! Wir können Ella Events nur empfehlen und wünschen dir alles Liebe.

Abbiamo conosciuto Serenella durante la visita ad una location per il nostro matrimonio e, pur non avendo confermato quella villa, siamo tornati a casa con la certezza che avremmo voluto lei per guidarci nell'organizzazione del nostro giorno. E' stato amore a prima vista e si è rivelata una scelta super vincente! Con Serenella abbiamo vissuto il giorno del nostro matrimonio con la spensieratezza e l'emozione più profonda che si potesse avere: è stato tutto perfetto, scandito e organizzato in maniera impeccabile e senza l'impressione di alcuna forzatura. Ci sono stati consigliati dei fornitori eccezionali sia professionalmente che umanamente e, direi, che il tratto distintivo di Ella è proprio questo: creare intorno agli sposi per tutti i mesi che precedono il matrimonio una sorta di grande famiglia di cui poi non si riesce più a fare a meno. Noi non possiamo che essere grati di aver incontrato un Donna tanto speciale!
