03) SHARON
For me, wedding planning is about helping people, in whatever way that is from project managing the wedding to looking after granny on the day. I listen to couples and give them my time which allows them to get back theirs. It is my job to make sure the day brings the best of their ideas into reality, telling their story and reflecting their personalities. I am also there on the day and ready for all eventualities including having a needle and thread in my pocket to fix the bust of a bridesmaids dress that had burst open seconds before she was due to walk down the aisle.

07) Neve from Wed in Florence
If you are still indecisive about Ireland, Tuscany is a wonderful place to have a destination wedding too. Despite all what the DYO blogs say, when it comes to getting married abroad is better to rely on the hands of an industry expert. The language barrier, distance, inconveniences and much more, can cause a lot of stress. To have a local wedding planner can save you from turning your wedding into a real nightmare. I would like to introduce an experienced professional: Neve from Wed in Florence.
Neve lives and works in Tuscany and has over 10 years of experience in organising events. 8 years ago she founded her own agency, Wed in Florence. Wed in Florence, provides a bespoke service to couples and Neve plans weddings that bring to life your vision. Neve is passionate about her job and creates unique weddings that reflect your personality. Her design is creative and fresh, constantly updated with the latest trends of destination weddings. Neve and her team work closely with every couple. Whether you are looking for a grand and lavish event or a small and intimate celebration, they will guide you through all the wedding planning steps with friendly professionalism. Wed in Florence has deep relationships and connections with the wedding industry. Working with Neve will save you precious time and will provide you with trusted suppliers.
What Neve says about her job: “Being a wedding planner takes more than just organizational skills and good taste. You have to be passionate, create a connection with the couple and be able to listen to their desires and requirements to turn their wedding in the most memorable day of their life. I create memories and transform dreams into reality. I believe that every couple is unique and pre-pared packages do not fit all.”
