Wedding Planner

Authentic, elegant weddings crafted around your unique story. In Calabria, Rome, Tuscany, and for international couples choosing Italy.

I am Francesca Venice Orlando, Wedding Planner & Event Designer. I guide couples through the journey of planning their wedding, transforming ideas, desires, and personalities into a cohesive, elegant, and deeply personal event. From the initial consultation to the coordination of the wedding day itself, I manage every step with a structured approach, meticulous attention to detail, and a curated network of professionals.

A wedding designed for you, not built from a template.

Every couple has a unique story, and every wedding should tell it beautifully. My work begins with listening: understanding your style, your priorities, your budget, and the experience you wish to create for your guests.

From this, a comprehensive design is born, where venue, decor, flowers, stationery, music, photography, timing, and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony.

My Wedding Services

  • Full Planning: designing and managing the wedding from the very first spark of inspiration to the day of the event.
  • Coordination and Direction of the 'I Do': managing the timeline, vendors, and every phase of the day so that you can fully experience your wedding without worrying about the logistics.
  • Wedding Consultation: dedicated sessions for couples who are planning their wedding independently but wish to have the professional guidance of a Wedding Planner.
  • Wedding Design: defining the event's style, color palette, mood, decor, and visual identity.
  • Stationery and Digital Invitations: coordinating the wedding's visual brand, invitations, graphic details, QR codes, and digital solutions tailored for your guests.
  • Destination Weddings in Italy: dedicated assistance for couples living abroad who choose Italy as the setting for their wedding.

The Venice Method

Planning a wedding means weaving countless decisions into a single, harmonious design. This is why I work with a precise methodology, while always maintaining a close, personal relationship with each couple.

  • 1. Discovery: we begin with you—your story, your needs, and the vision you imagine for your wedding.
  • 2. Design: we define the style, budget, priorities, venue, and structure of the event.
  • 3. Vendor Selection: we source and select the professionals best suited to your design and requirements.
  • 4. Planning: I organize tasks, deadlines, site visits, appointments, and coordinate all involved professionals.
  • 5. Wedding Design: we craft the visual identity and atmosphere of the wedding, ensuring every element is part of the same beautiful narrative.
  • 6. Event Direction: on the wedding day, I coordinate the timeline, vendors, and key moments, leaving you with only one thing to do: fully live and enjoy your day.

Where I Work

I plan and design weddings primarily in Calabria, Rome, and Tuscany, as well as Destination Weddings for international couples and UK residents wishing to marry in Italy.

Distance is never an obstacle: online consultations, structured planning, vendor curation, and local coordination allow you to seamlessly follow every step of the process, even from abroad.

My Philosophy

I believe in an elegance that speaks softly without excess, in meticulous attention to detail, and in weddings that truly reflect the souls of those celebrating.

I do not create cookie-cutter events: I build a bespoke project around you, finding the perfect balance between aesthetics, guest experience, organization, and budget.

Your wedding begins with a conversation.

Tell me what you are dreaming of. From there, we can begin crafting your story together.
