I'm Elena Gurianova — Your Wedding Planner in Italy

"I don't just organize weddings. I translate Italy for you — its beauty, its complexity, its soul."

Since 2012, I have chosen this work because it draws on everything I do best — genuine care for the people I serve, a deep sense of beauty, meticulous attention to detail, the ability to turn complex logistics into a seamless experience, a creativity that makes every celebration feel entirely one of a kind, and a natural ease connecting with people across cultures and personalities. Helping couples from the United States, Russia, Finland, Germany, England, Ukraine, the Netherlands, and beyond create weddings that feel genuinely Italian — not touristic — is not just my profession. It is where I belong.

Living in Italy means I understand the culture, speak the language, and know which vendors truly deliver on the day that matters. I handle every bureaucratic hurdle, every language barrier, every logistical puzzle — so that you arrive in Italy and simply enjoy being in love.

Whether your dream is a hilltop ceremony in Tuscany, a canal-side celebration in Venice, or a grand dinner on the Amalfi cliffs — I know the right people and the right places to make it real.

Live walkthroughs

Video and live tours of every venue — sometimes more than once — so you see each space as if you were standing in it.

🤝

Meeting your vendors

I meet each supplier on site, review the details together, and prepare a plan A and a plan B.

🍽️

Tasting on your behalf

Personal menu tastings, with honest notes to the chef — add, swap or refine — until it's right for you.

Every detail confirmed

Contracts, timelines and choices documented in writing, so nothing is left to chance or lost in translation.
