Daniela was the best wedding planner that we could have asked for! She is very organized and made the process of planning our destination wedding seemless. We went to our friends wedding in Rome a few years ago and were blown away at how elegantly set up the venue was. When we decided to have our wedding in Rome too, we knew we needed the same planner. Everything was very clear through email, she was always prompt and kept us updated all along the way. We only had 4 friends at our wedding and she never made us feel like this was a small gathering. She paid attention to every detail requested, even when it came down to ordering the bouquet. I sent a picture as inspiration for flowers and was shocked when I opened the box and saw almost the exact bouquet as in the picture, she really pays attention to detail!! Daniela found us the most beautiful basilica for the ceremony, The Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara Coeli, which was breathtaking! She sent us amazing restaurant recommendations for dinner and drinks after the wedding. All of the restaurants looked beautiful but we decided on Mirabelle Ristorante which had spectacular views, food and service. She set me up with the sweetest hair and makeup artist, Arianna Saura who did such a great job! The photographer and videographer that she suggested with Inesse Handmade Photography were very nice and accommodating. She helped make this the most perfect day for us and we are so thankful that she was recommended by our friends. Look no further if you need a wedding planner in Rome. She knows what she is doing and does it very well! I would recommend her to anyone

When my husband and I were in the beginning stages of wedding planning, we actually “interviewed” a few wedding planners, but eventually chose Daniela from Dolce Vita Weddings. We live in DC and wanted someone who is familiar with Rome, as well as the venues and vendors there. We were able to meet with Daniela and our vendors/venues a year prior to our wedding, and it was obvious from the vendors that Daniela has a positive reputation amongst them!

In hindsight, we are grateful that we chose Daniela. Our welcome party, wedding ceremony/reception, and farewell brunch exceeded our expectations. Daniela was easy to work with and communicate with. If we needed to touch base with her via video chat, she was able to set up a meeting as soon as possible. She’s very organized — each email thread has its own purpose (music, florist, menu, etc.), which was really helpful when our questions seemed all over the place!

It was evident that Daniela knows the vendors and venues well. She sent us many options for our Welcome Party, Church, Reception, and Farewell brunch — we were able to look into each venue, ask her questions, and see pictures/videos of wedding parties she had previously planned there. She also sent us different options for florists, photographers/videographers, bands, and DJs. We appreciated the variety to choose from, and she was helpful in narrowing which vendor and venue was best for our vision and budget. We loved working with Daniela from Dolce Vita Weddings!

We are a couple from Hong Kong. We know nothing about hosting a foreign wedding, but Dolce Vita offered so much help and recommendations throughout, which we greatly appreciated. When we arrived in Rome, there were some hiccups just days before the wedding, Daniela was able to offer plan B, and, most importantly, comfort, to us, which was a great relief! We cannot thank her enough for that. All along Daniela was amiable and responsive. She was not shy from sharing her ideas with us, and we surely loved how she would think of ways to get us a good bargain!
Without her, our foreign wedding in the Vatican and reception in Rome would not have succeeded. Thank you very much in helping us to create this memorable day!
