She leads a team of intuitive, passionate and thoughtful people who work tirelessly to deliver best-in-class services that are sure to exceed your expectations. 

With an iron fist in a velvet glove and almost 15 years of experience, Alessia has developed a remarkable ability to understand and interpret her clients’ needs and visions, translating them into one-of-a-kind weddings and events. Her expertise and vast network of resources ensure that you’ll have access to all the best settings, venues, foods, wines and aesthetics that Italy has to offer. 

As a long-time industry professional, Alessia also serves as an event planning consultant and wedding planning mentor to others who are trying to break into the business. She has taught courses and workshops on event and experience management with a focus on destination weddings at Komax, IATH, and is the co-founder of Destination Wedding Educational.

She has a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature, a master’s in Marketing and Communications, and lives between her home in the Piedmont countryside just outside of Milan, where she grew up, and Venice, with which she is in love.

Alice
