How long have you been working in this industry and how did you become an international Event Planner – Designer?
I was born and raised in a truly magical place, Venice, Italy, where I was influenced by its rich history and culture. I had the fortune to work and live on 3 different continents so I was exposed to different cultures and beautiful flavors, colors, architecture, and traditions from around the world… from Italy to Morocco, Tunisia to Cuba, Philadelphia to Las Vegas, and from New Orleans to Costa Rica. These priceless experiences have stimulated my creativity and enriched my talent. I learned to listen, to be patient, work well with others, understand different needs in different situations, and above all how important it is to personalize a celebration in order to make it truly special and meaningful for my clients and their guests.
I start working in the hospitality business in 1995 ( ops… did I give away my age?) in very exclusive luxury all-inclusive resorts and between organizing a welcome cocktail and coordinating the night show for our guests I discover that nothing made me happier than seeing the joyful smile on the face of our guests and nothing made me more proud than being part of a special moment on the life of interesting people.
We love your services. But can you tell me what sets you apart from all the other event planners out there?
I established my first event company in the Caribbean and have worked in some of the most famous and exotic islands there such as St. Barth, Anguilla, Curacao, and St. Maarten for 17 years planning and designing special events, tournaments, festivals, expos, retreats, and the annual Red Cross Gala. Other clients have included BET, The Lions, and Rotary Club. In 2013 I moved with my family to LA and I start specializing in Luxury Events. I was very honored to be brought to New York to organize an event for one of my clients for 150 female UN delegates. In 2019 in order to make a full circle and make sense of my hospitality training, I added a service of tour operating in order to offer our clients 365-degree personalized assistance and support when designing unique weddings, ultimate honeymoons, or a very special romantic celebration.
This is not only my job, it is my passion! I never stop to study the industry new trends, find new locations and align with amazing partners around the world that share my two very basic convictions:
and how I am different from any other romance/wedding planner out there:
