DESTINATION WEDDING PLANNING IN ITALY
Giovanna and her team help international couples plan their wedding in Venice, combining local knowledge, trusted professionals and personal support from the first conversation to the wedding day.
From an intimate ceremony to a complete wedding celebration, Giovanna and her team create experiences shaped around each couple and the unique character of Venice.
Born in Cortina d’Ampezzo and raised between Venice, Cortina and Tuscany, Giovanna Wurmbrand Stuppach developed an early understanding of different cultures and traditions. Her career began in international communications, and in 1993 she became a registered journalist in Italy—an experience that continues to shape the way she listens, communicates and pays attention to every detail.
In 2005, she founded The Venice Wedding Planner, specialising in destination weddings in Venice and the Dolomites. For over twenty years, she has guided couples from around the world through the planning of personal celebrations, supported by deep local knowledge and a trusted network of carefully selected wedding professionals.
For Giovanna, every wedding begins with understanding the people behind it: their story, style and expectations. Her calm, discreet and personal approach allows couples to feel supported and confident throughout the planning journey.
Venice is at the heart of our work. Our local knowledge helps you find the venues, wedding professionals and practical solutions that suit the celebration you have in mind, from an intimate ceremony to a complete destination wedding.
