From Sardinia to Global Recognition: When Dreams Take Flight at Amour Forum 2025

When Recognition Means More Than an Award

There are moments in our professional journey that transcend mere accolades. Being shortlisted as a finalist for Best Destination Wedding Planner at Amour Forum 2025 in the year that this prestigious event takes place in my homeland, Sardinia, at Forte Village Resort, is one of those profound milestones that carries a deeper meaning – not just for me, but for every corner of our beloved Sardinia.

A Journey from Sardinia to the World Stage

In 2008, I was 20 years old,  started this journey with nothing but €15,000 won from “Chi vuol essere milionario” and an unwavering dream. Seventeen years of dedication, from organizing €4,000 intimate celebrations to orchestrating €2 million spectacular events, each step has been a testament to what our island can offer to the world.

Thirteen years ago, I proudly represented Italy at my first international destination wedding conference, marking the beginning of our global journey. Today, being shortlisted as a finalist for Best Destination Wedding Planner at Amour Forum 2025 feels like a beautiful full circle moment – it’s about putting Sardinia on the global luxury wedding map. It’s about showing that our island, with its raw beauty and authentic charm, deserves its place among the world’s most prestigious wedding destinations.

Why This Matters More Than Winning

You know what makes this nomination truly special? It’s not about the potential of winning. It’s about validation – validation that our approach to destination weddings, our dedication to blending local traditions with international sophistication, and our commitment to showcasing Sardinia’s unique beauty are being recognized on a global stage.

This recognition tells every couple dreaming of a destination wedding that choosing Sardinia means choosing excellence. It means that when they entrust their celebrations to us, they’re not just getting a wedding planner – they’re getting a team that’s internationally acknowledged for their ability to transform this island’s magic into unforgettable celebrations.

You know what makes destination weddings truly magical? It’s not just about choosing a beautiful location – it’s about having someone who understands both where you’re coming from and where you’re dreaming of going.

Why Or Global Experience Matters for Your Celebration

When I sit down with a couple from New York, Dubai, or London, I’m not just offering them a wedding in Italy. I’m offering them years of experience in bridging cultures, understanding nuances, and creating celebrations that feel both authentically Italian and deeply personal.

For our couples, having a planner with strong international connections built over the years thanks to these prestigious world events, means:

  • Access to a curated network of global professionals who understand luxury standards across continents
  • The ability to blend traditions seamlessly – whether you’re dreaming of a Jewish ceremony in a Tuscan villa or an Indian celebration by the Mediterranean
  • Understanding of international travel logistics, time zones, local pricing and negotiations, and the unique challenges that destination weddings present
  • The confidence that comes from working with someone who speaks the language of global luxury while honoring local traditions

What started in a small office in Sassari has blossomed into something beyond my wildest dreams. Honestly? Not an easy journey, but definitely challenging and exciting at same time… Today, we don’t just plan “luxury weddings” – we create international experiences that showcase the best of what Italy has to offer while honoring our couples’ global visions and their storytelling.

WE ARE STORYTELLERS, WE ARE DREAM MAKERS

For our international couples, this means having a team that understands both the grandeur of their dreams and the intimate details that make them unique. Whether your budget is €100,000 or €500,000, whether you’re planning from across the ocean or just across the border, you’re not just getting a wedding planner and designer – you’re getting a cultural bridge, a local expert, and a global visionary all in one. AND NOW?
