Destination Wedding Planning

Luxury Weddings in Stunning Locations Across Europe & Beyond

You may already know where you want to say “I do” - or simply know how you want your wedding to feel. I help couples discover the destination and venue that bring their vision to life, then guide them through every detail of creating a beautifully considered celebration.

Based in the UK and working across Europe and beyond, I plan destination weddings for couples who want more than a beautiful setting. From discovering the right destination and sourcing the perfect venue to bringing together trusted suppliers, thoughtful design and a seamless guest experience, I manage the journey from the first idea to the wedding weekend itself.

Whether your heart is set on Italy, France, Spain or somewhere further afield, your destination should feel as personal as the celebration itself.

Not Sure Where to Marry? I Can Help You Find the Right Destination

Choosing your destination is one of the most exciting parts of planning a destination wedding - but with so many beautiful possibilities, it can also feel overwhelming.

If you know you want a luxury wedding in Europe but aren't yet sure whether Italy, France, Spain or another destination is right for you, I can help you explore the possibilities based on your vision, guest numbers, budget and the experience you want to create.

 

From discovering the right region and venue to bringing the celebration together, I'll guide you through the process from that first exciting decision to the final wedding day.

More Than a Wedding — An Experience for You and Your Guests

A destination wedding gives you the opportunity to create more than a single wedding day - it can become an unforgettable experience shared with the people who matter most.

From a relaxed welcome gathering and long lunches in the sunshine to an elegant ceremony and beautifully considered celebration, I help you create a wedding weekend that feels distinctive to you and your guests.

From the destination itself to the smallest details, I bring together the planning, design and logistics needed to make your celebration feel effortless. You can enjoy the excitement of travelling somewhere beautiful and celebrating with your favourite people, while I take care of everything behind the scenes.

Whether you're drawn to an Italian villa, a French château, a Spanish finca or another European destination, I'll help you create a celebration that feels personal, polished and completely yours.

Destination Wedding Expertise Across Europe & Beyond

My approach combines creative direction with practical destination planning, from finding the right setting and trusted suppliers to coordinating the logistics of bringing a wedding together abroad.

I have particular expertise and connections across Italy and other European destinations, with experience and knowledge spanning beautiful historic venues, private estates, coastal settings and luxury hotels.

Current destinations I am exploring and working across include:

  • Italy - Tuscany, Lake Como, Amalfi Coast, Puglia, Capri and Sardinia

  • France - romantic châteaux, countryside estates and Mediterranean settings

  • Spain - elegant fincas, historic estates and beautiful coastal destinations

  • Hungary - grand historic venues and elegant palace settings

  • Croatia, Greece & the Mediterranean - beautiful coastal destinations for relaxed, sophisticated celebrations.

 

And because the right destination isn't always obvious from the beginning, I can also help you explore other locations that suit your vision, guest list and budget.

How Destination Wedding Planning Works

Planning a wedding abroad involves more moving parts than planning at home - from finding the right venue and suppliers to coordinating travel, logistics and the experience for your guests.

My role is to bring all of those elements together, giving you one trusted planning partner from the first conversation through to the final toast.

Depending on your celebration and the level of support you need, I can help with:

  • Destination and venue sourcing - discovering the right location and negotiating with your chosen venue

  • Supplier sourcing and management - bringing together trusted photographers, florists, caterers, entertainment and other creative partners

  • Creative direction and styling - developing a beautiful, cohesive aesthetic that feels personal to you

  • Guest experience - helping with accommodation, travel logistics and the details that make your guests feel cared for

  • Planning and logistics - timelines, communication, coordination and all the practical details behind the scenes

  • Wedding-day management - ensuring everything comes together seamlessly so you can be fully present and enjoy your celebration

You shouldn't have to spend your engagement managing suppliers, timelines and logistics across another country. I'll take care of the details, while you enjoy the experience of getting married somewhere extraordinary.

Your Vision, Beautifully Brought to Life

You may arrive with a very clear vision - or simply a feeling of what you want your wedding to be. My role is to turn that vision into a celebration that feels considered, personal and completely at home in its destination.

Whether you picture an elegant Italian villa, a candlelit château in France, a beautiful Spanish finca or an intimate celebration somewhere further afield, I bring together creative direction, meticulous organisation and trusted destination suppliers to make it happen.

From the first ideas and venue search to the final details of your wedding weekend, I remain your dedicated planning partner - bringing clarity to the decisions, calm to the logistics and creativity to the details.

The result is a wedding that feels effortless for you, while every detail has been thoughtfully considered behind the scenes.

Destination Wedding FAQ

1. What does a destination wedding planner do?

Planning a wedding abroad involves much more than finding a beautiful venue. I help you navigate the entire process, from discovering the right destination and sourcing your venue to selecting trusted suppliers, managing logistics and coordinating the wedding weekend.

My role is to bring everything together so you can enjoy the experience without having to manage the details from afar.

2. Do I need to know where I want to get married before contacting you?

Not at all. If you know you want a destination wedding but aren't sure whether Italy, France, Spain or another location is right for you, I can help you explore the possibilities.

We'll consider your vision, guest numbers, budget and the experience you want to create before narrowing down the destinations and venues that feel like the right fit.

3. When should I start planning a destination wedding?

 

I generally recommend starting 12–18 months before your wedding, particularly for sought-after venues and popular dates. This gives you time to secure the right venue and suppliers and plan the guest experience thoughtfully.

If you're working with a shorter timeline, however, don't assume it's too late. The right planning approach and trusted supplier relationships can make a shorter engagement possible too.

4. Can you plan my wedding if I don't live in the destination?

Absolutely. I work with couples from the UK, Europe and beyond, managing the planning process remotely while building trusted relationships with your venue and suppliers on the ground.

You'll have a dedicated planning partner throughout, with virtual meetings, curated recommendations, regular communication and clear planning milestones — so you always know what is happening, even when you're not there in person.

5. How much does a destination wedding cost?

There is no single destination wedding budget because costs vary considerably depending on the destination, guest numbers, venue, season, design and overall experience you want to create.

Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all figure, I help you understand what is realistic for your chosen destination and priorities. My planning fees are tailored to the level of support your wedding requires, with transparent pricing once I understand your plans.
