Silvia Amoruso is a Rome-based Italian wedding planner working across Rome, Tuscany, Umbria and Puglia, with more than a decade of weddings behind her.

Listening is what she's known for. Couples planning from London, New York or Paris describe her as understanding what they wanted before they'd managed to put it into words, and she handles the vendors and the complexity quietly in the background so couples arrive on the day calm. Her knowledge of Italy's venues, caterers and vendors runs deep, and she manages events with a notably steady hand.

We love her for couples planning from abroad who want elegance without losing their own character in the process, and a planner who stays unflustered whatever the day brings.

Good to know: Silvia offers partial planning and design and styling consultation as well as full planning.
