Hi dear ladies!
Be ready, I am sending you my essay "How I spent my wedding" :))):
Happy Moments Collector is a team of by far the most professional and talented wedding planners in Italy. Whether you’re looking for an intimate celebration or you’ll have world class pop singers performing at your wedding, the HMC team would make sure the event is perfectly planned and executed. We couldn’t have asked for a better team than Anastasia and Daria who made sure that together with our guests and families, we were left in awe from the whole production and perfect meticulous execution of the wedding.
As we started planning our destination wedding in Italy (based out of the US), I’ve been looking for planners for a while and was lucky to be introduced to Anastasia through a friend. She was able to help resolve my doubts and concerns of picking a place at a short notice without even seeing it and shared valuable insights on the budget estimates and possible venues before we even signed the contract. That really helped earn my trust which only grew from there. Her advice and in-depth knowledge of the venues and vendors throughout Italy has largely contributed to the success of our event. In a matter of weeks we were able to secure a beautiful villa, photo/video/make-up artists, and much more. Together with her talented and responsive colleague Daria, they worked tirelessly to make all the arrangements, answer my endless emails and have our midnight planning calls (accounting for the time-zone difference), negotiate on my behalf to make sure we received exactly what was needed (Daria, your patience and support deserves a separate big shout-out!) and give me the much needed peace of mind.
Most importantly, on the Day – they were organized, prepared, invisible, and at the same time omnipresent. All guests noted how smoothly everything ran and how well they managed all the vendors in fluent Italian (and there were a LOT of vendors and activities, from building the dance floor to navigating floral installations to securing garden furniture rentals, to even overseeing the course of speeches, and much more).
A few months after we started working together, we made a trip to Lake Como to tour the villa and do the food tasting. When we met with Anastasia and Daria, it felt like we were old friends reunited in a cozy Como café. I really appreciated the time both of them spent answering our every question, brainstorming new ideas together, and sharing their invaluable experience on what works and what doesn’t. They’ve lived in Italy and have been working in this industry for a long time, making them real experts in their métier. The insights they have are impossible to find in a wedding forum or a venue’s website, it only comes from years of working, testing, learning, iterating, and finally perfecting. We also really enjoyed meeting the florist Maurizio they invited and seeing him draw out the ceremony florals live on an iPad overlaying the actual photo from the villa. It felt like our plans and dreams are finally coming to live. Little did we know that our wildest expectations would be exceeded tenfold by the whole wedding planning team.
I couldn’t recommend Happy Moments Collector enough. Thank you for all your hard work and keeping the highest possible standards. We loved working with you and hope to celebrate more happy occasions together in the future!
Possibly the best compliment to the work of our wedding planners came from my husband (who was only involved in the big decisions of the event and was mainly secretly looking forward to the honeymoon) – he said he never knew a groom could have so much fun at his own wedding. And that it was by far the best day in his life. :) It takes a LOT to have him say that. Some of our guests mentioned it was the best trip of their lives and the most magical wedding they’ve ever been to. This made us incredibly happy. Thank you!
P.S. Note for those contemplating if you need a wedding planner (as I naively did at the beginning). The answer is quite simple – if you want to make sure your guests are happy and taken care of, if you want a successful quality event, and if you want some peace of mind, you’ll absolutely need a wedding planner. It’s practically impossible to organize a destination wedding in Italy without a team on the ground – communication gets broken down, vendors don’t like to work without a trusted planner and most importantly, there’s no way to know who’s actually good (even if you look at the list of vendors on Instagram). Finally, on the Day of the wedding, you simply don’t have the time for an endless coordination (morning, makeup artists, aperitif, guest arrival, boats/cars/transfers/parking, builders, florists, caterers, musicians, etc. etc. etc.). Bottom line, you need a planner, but not any planner, you need to find someone who is a perfectionist, who will be able to represent your interests throughout the planning process and own the execution on the day. I couldn’t be any happier with the work of Happy Moments Collector who did exactly that.

Anastasia & Daria,
I'm writing to say thank you for planning the wedding of our dreams!
From beginning to end you and your team are true professionals. A destination wedding can sometimes be chaotic but we're still receiving compliments from our guests on the wedding and how seamless it ran. We are so grateful that we had your guidance and assistance along the journey. It would not have been possible without you both. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Now that the season is over I hope you're both enjoying time with your families. Wishing you both all of the best.

Daria and Anatasia,
After interviewing almost 20 wedding planners I knew in 10 seconds Happy Moments Collector was the ONE! And my intuition could not have been more spot on! You both made the wedding of my dreams come to life and I cannot thank you enough. Your professionalism and grace made the planning process as easy as it could be even during the pandemic! You never showed any stress which kept me calm – which all brides know that is an accomplishment. The finished result was FAR past my expectations and everyone is still talking about the wedding to this day – it was beautiful and seamless. We loved working with you and I almost cried when we had to say goodbye! Because of this wonderful experience I fully plan to have an anniversary celebration just so I can work with you both again. Cannot thank you enough.

Hi girls,
Kevin and I are emailing you to thank you both from the bottom of our hearts for the most AMAZING day of our lives! We are still in love, in disbelief and in awe at how perfectly everything turned out! We owe it all to both of your hard work and care! You treated us like family and we cannot thank you enough! Our friends and family are still talking about how incredible our wedding was! There are no words to express how happy we are!
If you ever need client referrals we would be more than happy to talk to anyone and ease any concerns. We would be honored to rave about how amazing you both and your services are so feel free to reach out to us anytime you need a review or referral!
You know we interviewed many wedding planners but when we FaceTimed Anastasia with we fell in love! We had great chemistry and you understood our California style & wedding vision. Planning a long distance event can be stressful at times but Anastasia always put us at ease and made everything very easy!
On the day of our wedding the lake glistened and the lush colors all around us were glowing. The air was clean. It was like the lake smiled knowing it was our wedding day.
The day of the wedding was stress free and every detail was taken care of. The boat ride, food, prosecco, wine, flowers, music and everything was perfection. Our guests still talk about how our menu was the best wedding food, being SF foodies it’s a HUGE compliment. Our wedding day turned out to be perfect. For us, it still is the best day ever. Everything exceeded expectations and we were still in complete awe of the day.
We owe so many thanks to all of our wonderful vendors that made our day so incredibly special. We couldn’t imagine a better place to have shared such a special moment with our family and friends. Lake Como is now our piece of paradise forever.
