Italian Event Planners

We are Ilaria Guarino and Serena Ranieri — soul sisters, lifelong friends, and the founders of IEP. Our partnership was born from a shared passion, a deep bond, and a mutual vision. Together, we’ve spent years traveling the world and working tirelessly to turn dreams into unforgettable experiences.We are yin and yang. The balance between creativity and precision, passion and pragmatism, art and love. In everything we do, we strive to be the missing piece, the guiding hand, and the steady support couples need to bring their dream wedding to life. Together, we are the vision you’ve been looking for.
Since 2011, we’ve been designing extraordinary weddings in Italy’s most breathtaking locations — from the iconic Palladian villas of the Veneto to the sun-kissed cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, from the romantic shores of Lake Como to the hidden castles nestled in Italy’s most picturesque villages. We believe in celebrating love in all its forms, and that belief is reflected in every event we create.
Each wedding we design is unique — tailored to the couple’s personality and desires — yet always true to the timeless elegance and beauty that define the Made in Italy wedding experience. We blend romance, culture, and sophisticated style to create unforgettable moments — not just events, but lifelong memories.
Our approach goes beyond planning. It’s about creating a seamless, stress-free experience where every detail is thoughtfully handled. We take care of the logistics so our couples can focus on the magic of the moment. We move mountains (or seas!) to make sure everything is perfect and the wedding day becomes an extraordinary celebration of love, beauty, and joy.
With us is Annachiara Varriale, a valued collaborator and a highly experienced, multilingual destination wedding planner. Annachiara specializes in bespoke weddings for international clients. Her deep knowledge of the wedding industry, combined with her fluency in multiple languages and understanding of local traditions, allows her to work with couples from all over the world, bringing their vision to life with elegance and precision. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to turn dreams into reality make her a trusted and essential part of our team.
Together — Ilaria, Serena, and Annachiara — we are not just your wedding planners. We are your partners, your sounding board, and, often, your closest friends throughout this incredible journey. Whether you dream of an intimate elopement or a grand celebration, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is simple: to create the wedding you’ve always dreamed of — and to make sure you cherish every single moment of it, forever.
