The wedding of Jamilya and Ruslan in Italy became a true journey that brought together two cultures, two families and two homes. The couple divides their lives between two countries, Russia and Uzbekistan.
They dreamed of creating a celebration that would offer their loved ones not only the joy of the event itself but also the chance to discover Italy, to breathe in its atmosphere and to feel that a wedding can become an unforgettable adventure shared by all.

This is why they chose not a traditional banquet hall or a familiar hotel but a Renaissance villa near Rome, set on a panoramic hill with sweeping views of the towns of Lazio and the distant line of the sea. From the very first moment, this place felt like a true revelation to them.

Jamilya shared that they arrived at the villa late in the evening. Everything around them was hidden in darkness and she barely had a moment to take anything in.

But in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight touched the hills, she walked up to the window and could hardly believe her eyes.
The panorama was so breathtaking that it felt as if the villa and the landscape belonged only to them, as if they had become part of this beauty and this history.

It is moments like these that make Italian locations truly one of a kind.

After the morning shooting, the moment of the first look arrived. They chose to hold it in one of the villa’s historic halls.
Afterward, the couple went for a photo walk around the estate. Panoramic terraces, sweeping views of the hills, elegant architecture, quiet green corners and the surrounding silence became the perfect backdrop.

Jamilya and Ruslan intentionally planned their photo session before the ceremony so they could spend as much time as possible with their guests later.

The ceremony took place in the villa’s frescoed hall, which had recently reopened after restoration. The seventeenth-century frescoes, with their depth of color and historical character, created a special almost mystical atmosphere. Jamilya and Ruslan exchanged their vows and it felt as though history itself had become part of the moment.

After the ceremony, everyone stepped out onto the panoramic terrace for an aperitif. Live music, the setting sun, glasses in hand, laughter, conversations and the breathtaking views created a light and joyful sense of beauty in the present moment.

As evening fell, the guests moved to the area prepared for the wedding dinner. Jamilya had dreamed of a wedding in an autumn palette and the décor reflected this idea completely. Deep wine and dark green tones, hydrangeas, orchids, amaranths and seasonal fruits continued the aesthetics of the Renaissance villa and highlighted its grandeur.

After dinner, the dancing began, opened by Jamilya and Ruslan with their first dance. The evening was filled with music, warmth and joyful movement, the perfect finale to the celebration.
This is how their wedding day came to a close: beautiful, emotional and truly unifying. It gave their families new experiences and left their guests with memories they will return to again and again.

The Renaissance villa, the panoramic views, the sense of history, the emotions and the love made this day especially meaningful, and we were delighted to help the couple bring their Italian dream to life.

Some couples have stories that feel as if they were made for the movies. Bright and full of sunlight like Italy itself Anna works in the field of IT. Alex is a lawyer with a sense of humor and an extraordinary ability to be a steady source of support. Living in sunny Miami they met in the place where many love stories are born today in a dating app.

After a few messages Alex suggested that he and Anna meet in person. They met in a bar and within just a couple of hours both understood that this was the beginning of something significant. From that evening on they were almost inseparable.

There was only one complication. Anna had a cat. Alex had a cat allergy. Yet love is stronger than any limitation even an allergic one. Alex began taking medication without hesitation simply to be close to Anna and her sweet fluffy companion. This is how their story began filled with care laughter and small compromises made for the sake of a great feeling.

Shortly before the trip Alex proposed to Anna. It was touching sincere and entirely their style without unnecessary grandeur but filled with immense love. They decided to register their marriage in Miami just a week before their flight. Quietly together they signed the papers and told no one. Not even Alex’s mother.

Only a day before the symbolic ceremony in Rome did his mother learn that her son and his bride were already officially husband and wife. She was overwhelmed with emotion. It was unexpected sincere and incredibly moving.

For their wedding day Anna and Alex chose one of Rome’s atmospheric terraces overlooking terracotta rooftops domes of ancient churches and a city where even the air feels more romantic.

To the sound of a violin and the melody of Here comes the bride Alex saw his Anna in a white dress for the first time. They exchanged vows gentle and full of meaning and then the moment flowed naturally into a meeting with their beloved city as their photo session turned into a small Roman adventure.

Anna and Alex wandered through cozy streets drank Aperol and enjoyed pasta and gelato. Everywhere they went people congratulated them tourists applauded and someone even offered them a chance to take a photo with a tiny Fiat because it was simply impossible to pass by such a beautiful couple without sharing the joy. Photographs laughter hugs and kisses their day was filled with the essence of Italy the kind that moves every heart.

The celebration ended at a scenic overlook with a view of Rome where the sun slowly slipped behind the horizon casting golden shades over the dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica. It was the perfect finale calm warm and filled with a sense of happiness and the rightness of the moment.

In South Korea there is a lovely tradition: many couples arrange a separate photoshoot long before the wedding or the day before the official ceremony. Although this custom does not require any specific location or format, for many Korean couples it is a chance to capture the “before the wedding” chapter, choose beautiful looks and create photographs that can later be used for invitations or wedding announcements.

When Jin and Jessica decided to get married, they realised that for their pre wedding story they wanted something truly special. And they chose the Eternal City to give each other a promise of love and devotion.

Jin and Jessica met back in school and have been together for fifteen years. Every gesture and every look between them reflects care and tenderness. Watching them feels like watching a romantic Korean drama, the kind that makes you believe time has no power over true feelings.

“Fifteen years have passed without us even noticing. I still remember the excitement of our first meeting. Thank you for always being by my side, for supporting and inspiring me,” Jin would say during the ceremony.

The couple did not want the classic tourist shots. Yes, they were in Rome, but could they skip the Colosseum? Absolutely. The Eternal City has more than two thousand years of history and knows how to surprise.

We began the preparations with the most important detail: the place where they would stay. Instead of well known hotels, we suggested a palace. Palazzo Talia is tucked away in the historic centre of Rome, between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain. It was built in the sixteenth century for the secretary of Pope Leo X and served for many years as a private residence. Today it is a small hotel that blends Renaissance interiors with modern comfort. It was exactly the kind of elegant, historic atmosphere Jin and Jessica dreamed of for their wedding morning.

For the ceremony we offered the couple something other than a popular panoramic terrace. Those places may have views, but they lack privacy. The couple dreamed of a beautiful location, elegant and slightly elevated, where their cherished words would be spoken. And we found such a place — Villa Celimontana. This park is located almost in the heart of Rome, yet far from the noise. Under the whisper of leaves, inside a neo Gothic chapel from the late nineteenth century, Jin and Jessica exchanged their vows:

“They say love is not destiny but a choice. And today, tomorrow and in all the days to come, I choose you without hesitation. Every day becomes special because you are near. Your smile is my happiness, your dream has become my goal. When you are with me, no time or change can frighten me. Let us walk through life together.”

It felt as if the ceremony was not just a beautiful event but a true promise and the beginning of a new chapter. After that it was time to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Eternal City. The couple drove through Roman streets in a vintage car, received congratulations and soaked in the sunset over St Peter’s Basilica.

Jin and Jessica’s wedding turned out deeply heartfelt. No crowds, no typical tourist clichés, but with a true feeling of Rome, its history and themselves. They will remember this day as their own, beautifully unique.

– What wedding traditions do you think are cool? – we asked Anastasia and Roman during the wedding planning phase.

– Ring exchange! – they confidently replied.

– And which ones do you not like?

– All the others!

Definitely, we were in for a very unconventional wedding!

Love is often compared to a mystery that not everyone is destined to solve. A feeling that sometimes comes unexpectedly, taking over our entire being, revealing unexplored corners of the soul within us.

Love cannot be limited by pure knowledge, examined through a magnifying glass, or carefully organized to try to comprehend it with the mind. Can logic help answer the question of how exactly the heart finds its other half? What kind of magic connects kindred souls among many others? And is it true that marriages are made in heaven?

“This was the best wedding I’ve ever been to. You are top-notch and amazing. Thank you!”

Hearing such feedback about our work is always nice, but when it comes from someone who really understands event management, the words take on a special significance. Our bride Maria studied event management in London and approached the choice of wedding coordinator with great seriousness.
