About the founder

Swedish by birth but Romanian to the core, I graduated with honors in statistical sciences but have been working for 30 years in marketing and communication. I have always had great organizational, planning, and attention to detail skills. Eight years ago, I started a new project with the Wedding Industry Academy, getting involved in the wedding world out of passion, which has led me to conceive a studio that I share with a fashion designer and a photographer.

I love the wedding day, but even more everything that happens before and after. My suggestion is: let yourself be surprised!

Lovely Rome

We as a Couple were overwhelmed with the professionalism & communication we received on celebrating our Big Day,

Giovanna Santinelli was happy too respond to all questions on Details for Venues for place of Marriage all the way to where we should go for Celebration Meal,

This would not have been an easy task for Giovanna with us being from Scotland but she made everything work Exactly how we wanted & we are more than Grateful for everything that was done for us throughout.

We would certainly Recommend to any friends or Family for Future Celebrations,

Grazie Mille
