I emailed about 5 wedding planners in Italy, and Zaira was by FAR the most responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you are considering a destination wedding in Italy use her, she is amazing!!

Zaira was so helpful with our wedding planning. I had the opportunity of meeting with her when I visited Lake Como to see venues. We knew right away that we wanted her to be our planner. She lives in the area so she is familiar with the vendors and the venues. Unfortunately, our wedding was supposed to be in September 2020 and COVID hit so we had to reschedule. However, Zaira was extremely responsive via email and helped guide us through the process. She kept us informed about the current situation in Italy and explained our options to us. Would definitely recommend her!

Nicole,

Living in the US and planning a wedding in Lake Como can be a challenge, but hiring Zaira as our wedding planner took the stress out of the process and made everything so much easier. Zaira is extremely knowledgeable of the local vendors, and brought the visions of what we wanted for our wedding day to life. With the ever-changing rules of COVID, there were frequent changes we had to make but she was able to adjust quickly and ensured that no details were left out! We are truly grateful that we had Zaira to help us navigate everything, and we can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to have a wedding in Lake Como!!

I Do in Lake Como and Sicily Wedding Planner, Zaira and Anna, were absolutely the most fantastic wedding planners that made our wedding an absolute fairytale. Without them, this simply would’ve been an impossible and daunting task. With their expertise, Anna and Zaira kindly and patiently guided us through every step of the way over the last 10 months to execute the most gorgeous event, and it was done seamlessly. It would not have been possible and enjoyable with any other wedding planner, with whom we video conferenced with prior to selecting I Do in Lake Como and Sicily Wedding Planner, because as soon as we met Anna and Zaira, the decision to select them as our wedding planners was the easiest decision in the wedding planning process. I truly hope to see both of them again soon as they have become a part of our family through these special memories we will hold dear for the rest of our lives! You will not be disappointed in selecting I Do in Lake Como and Sicily!

We were very fortunate to have Zaira referred to us by a colleague who had her elopement in Lake Como. Prior to this referral, I was growing increasingly anxious about finding someone trustworthy and dependable to organise a wedding in Lake Como (as we resided in Australia and did not speak Italian). Due to COVID restrictions in Australia in 2021, the wedding date had to be postponed for one year, however Zaira negotiated with all service providers and successfully arranged our wedding in June 2022. We feel so fortunate to have had the wedding of our dreams at the breathtakingly beautiful (yes, more beautiful than the photos) Villa del Balbianello. Zaira organised every detail from venue, music, aperitif, flowers, hair/makeup, Reverend from the Anglican Church, the best table at La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi for our guests at the post ceremony dinner, boat transport and photographer. She even helped us secure the most amazing room at Grand Hotel Tremezzo that had a view of Balbianello, a beautiful addition that we will always remember. Zaira was present for the entire day of the wedding, organising everything to ensure all ran smoothly; we did not need to stress or fuss – and as a bride, this was invaluable. As a result, I had the time of my life on my wedding day enjoying each moment rather than being stressed. We cannot recommend Zaira highly enough due to the following: • Honest open communication with upfront advice about providers’ fees, taxes and service charges (which was appreciated as they differed to Australian customs); • Quick turnaround for enquiries and varied options to suit budget and personal preferences – nothing was too much hassle; • All stress and hassle relating to contracts and pricing taken care of – all service providers were professional and come very highly recommended (we were extremely happy and satisfied with all providers – a special note to brides that my hair, makeup and flowers were exactly what I wanted despite being organised remotely); • All financial transfers were effected without issue or complication; • Warm, friendly, and personable nature of Zaira and her team, that made us feel very confident knowing we were in good hands. Zaira’s love for organising weddings clearly shows in her professionalism and kind caring nature. She truly is an amazing woman who truly can make your ultimate wedding day a reality.

I had an amazing experience with I Do In Lake Como & Sicily, making my dream wedding in Lake Como come true. I interviewed several wedding planners but when I met with the lovely women of I Do, I instantly got the right vibe. They helped me through the selection process for my venue and every step of the way. I was specific with the aesthetic that I was I was going for: romantic, italian renaissance glam mixed with a bit of The Godfather and it definitely came true. Two things that was particularly helpful: One was helping me selection hotels for us and our guests to stay at that were in close proximity to our venue ( Villa Erba) offering different price points for guests and two was helping me with flowers and décor. I spent a considerable amount of time with my wedding planner going through the flowers, one by one, making sure they blended well with not only the venue but also the bridesmaid dresses, and the season. Everyone was patient with my last minute changes/requests and the evening went perfectly and exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them as a wedding planner for a down to earth, warm and high attention to detail experience.

Ilaria was absolutely a joy to work with. The wedding day could not have been more perfect. Everything was seamless. Ilaria was able to secure a venue that has been booked up for months/ years. It was a dream come true for our daughter. Many thanks to you and your team for making this wedding day so special!!

Simply the best I contacted Zaira and Beatrice to help me plan my proposal and I simply couldn’t have found anyone better. They were super responsive to every one of my messages and questions. They helped me plan it perfectly and were attentive to every little detail (from our pick up to the photographer and decoration, right up to our return). They really helped plan a magical and perfect night that will forever live in our memory. Can’t recommend them enough!!

Zaira did a phenomenal job! Her experience and connections with vendors and venues were incredibly valuable. When planning a wedding in a foreign country trust is so important and you can put your faith in Zaira to make all the right decisions. Our wedding and rehearsal went off without a hitch!! You would be lucky to have someone as talented as Zaira planning your wedding. She toured venues and showed us everything over the phone, we booked everything without even seeing it and it was all amazing. Her staff is great as well we cannot recommend her enough. We hope to stay in touch with her for years to come - we miss her already! Gracie Mille Zaira!!
