Silvia Carli came to weddings after 25 years in marketing and corporate events, and it shows in how she runs a celebration, with precision underneath and poetry on the surface. Since 2016 she has planned bespoke destination weddings across Italy for couples who want the day to feel intentional and deeply personal rather than staged.

Based in Turin, she works most often in the north, among the vineyards of Tuscany and the rolling hills of Piedmont, though she plans throughout the country. Her weddings tend toward the intimate and the emotional, elegant without ever being loud.

Planning fees range from $2,500 to $6,000. For couples an ocean away from the country they are marrying in, she is the one on the ground who makes it real.
