As a Wedding Planner of Neapolitan origin, I’ve been fortunate enough to discover wonderful places. Each destination has left me with something unique: serenity, inspiration, motivation, and change. Every corner of these magnificent locations has contributed to the evolution of my creative and professional approach, enriching me not only as a professional but also as a person.

Ravello, with its breathtaking views and enchanting gardens, taught me the importance of creating romantic and unforgettable atmospheres. The Sorrento Coast, with its spectacular landscapes and rich traditions, inspired me to highlight authenticity and natural beauty in every event. Capri, with its timeless charm and sophisticated elegance, motivated me to pursue excellence in every detail. Sicily, with its millennial history, vibrant colors, and extraordinary cuisine, showed me the richness of traditions and the art of warm hospitality.

Last but not least, Sardinia, with its pristine beaches and free spirit, reminded me of the importance of embracing change while remaining open to new ideas and perspectives.

Each destination has allowed me to grow and continuously improve, bringing with me a treasure of precious memories and new insights that enrich every event I organize.

And so it was for the latest event: the elopement of Galina and Alek, our Lithuanian couple.

Going beyond, pushing limits, and going with the flow was somewhat the mantra of this event. Challenging for someone like me, who loves to always keep everything under control, but it happened.

I let myself be guided—literally—by the poetry of that place, respecting it and trying in every way not to detract from its essence (Elisa Mocci teaches).

“When design blends with the wild beauty of nature, love stories reach new heights.”

Galina and Alek, from Lithuania, chose Luogosanto, one of the most fascinating places in Sardinia, as the backdrop for their wild elopement.

They wanted an experience that went beyond the usual island clichés, renowned—mainly—for its stunning beaches. From the start, they were looking for something authentic, immersed in the wild and unspoiled nature of Sardinia, a place that would fully reflect their essence and adventurous spirit. Gallicantu, nestled among the rocks of Gallura, proved to be the perfect setting for them.

Their wild elopement was a true tribute to the natural and unspoiled beauty of the area. Every detail was carefully curated to create a design that perfectly harmonized with the poetry of the place. Neutral tones and natural materials like rattan, wood, and terracotta were chosen to blend seamlessly with the surroundings.

So I thought: “ceremony on the rock… why not?” Too bad I remembered afterward that I’m afraid of heights 😅

To my couple, Galina and Alek, thank you for trusting me completely and for getting me to climb those towering rocks! 😉
