Bella Sposa is a wedding planning and design business founded in 2013 by Cheryl Pagano, a Brit who lives full-time in Sorrento. She plans destination weddings on the Amalfi Coast, in Sorrento and Positano, and takes on weddings in other parts of Italy too.

Cheryl believes marrying abroad shouldn't mean being any less involved in your own wedding, so she gets to know each couple, from their story to their sense of humour, before designing anything. She works with a trusted team of local vendors, and no two of her weddings look alike. She's much more of a hugger than a handshaker, and tends to become a confidant as much as a planner.

We love her for couples who want an Amalfi Coast wedding planner living locally, and who'd rather stay closely involved than hand everything over, with someone on the ground who gets just as excited about the little details as they do.
