Real wedding: Megan & Chris in Tuscany
A villa ceremony, a long table under the stars, and a guest list that crossed three continents — how we planned a destination wedding without losing the calm.
Megan and Chris knew they wanted Tuscany before they knew much else. They'd visited on a trip years earlier and couldn't imagine saying their vows anywhere else.
The brief
Roughly 80 guests, mostly traveling from the U.S. A ceremony at golden hour, a dinner that felt like a long table with friends — not a production. And a timeline that let them enjoy the week, not just the day.
What we handled
- Villa and vendor sourcing with a local team I trust in the region
- Guest travel hub with shuttle schedules, hotel blocks, and a welcome dinner
- A rehearsal plan that accounted for jet lag and late arrivals
- Day-of coordination across three vendors who'd never worked together before
The result
The ceremony started ten minutes late because Megan wanted one quiet moment with her dad — and that was exactly right. The rest of the timeline flexed around it without anyone noticing.
That's the goal: a day that feels effortless because someone else is keeping the promises.
