After many years of experience as a wedding planner, every wedding brings the same excitement as the first one for Francesca Eusebi Piffi of FP Events! Her fun team works passionately at every step of the planning process, right up to the adrenaline rush of the last organisational stages. The primary goal is to give each wedding a unique and distinctive trait. Elegance and sophistication are the standard, whether that be for a lavish reception or a ceremony marked by simplicity.

Francesca will divide the various planning stages as follows to ensure you have a top wedding:

• Concept definition: meeting with the bride and groom to find out their ideas and explore the wedding they want. Getting to know each other!
• The initial planning stage: Evaluating the theme, budget, and timeline; interpreting the bride and groom's tastes and desires; and developing an appropriate aesthetic.
• The offer: Researching and developing the complete plan; evaluating possible venues and suppliers; deciding on the best fit. Each event is treated differently and created to the specifications of the couple.
• The countdown begins: Now, the organisation and booking process is fully flowing. Meetings are organised with the selected specialists, decided by the couple. Every element of the day is coordinated. In the final rush, the keyword is problem-solving! FP Events guarantees relaxation and fun for the bride and groom and their guests. In the days leading up to the wedding, we will devote full time to the behind-the-scenes of the wedding, supervising all the professionals involved to make the work as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We are also prepared for last-minute unforeseen events: this is where unexpected skills and solutions emerge, which are often the most fun anecdotes to look back on with the happy couple!
• On your wedding day, Francesca will always be present and devote the entire day to your celebration to best carry out the plan created for you and those close to you. Accompanying the bride and groom step by step through this experience often creates a special bond by becoming friends as well.
