We had the pleasure of working with Jlenia as our wedding planner for our magical celebration in the Dolomites, and we can't express how thrilled we were with her services. Jlenia is an absolute gem when it comes to wedding planning, and we were beyond impressed with her attention to detail. Every aspect of our special day was meticulously organized, leaving us with no worries and a lot of confidence that everything would go smoothly. The path was perfectly set for us everywhere we went. We were so grateful for her thoughtfulness and planning. What truly sets Jlenia apart is her remarkable ability to go above and beyond. A standout moment was when she stepped in at the last minute to find a dry cleaner to steam and refresh my wedding dress after its international journey. Not only did she arrange this, but she personally delivered it to us the night before the wedding. This level of dedication and care is a testament to her commitment to making every couple's wedding day truly exceptional. Beyond her professionalism, Jlenia's delightful personality made the entire planning process enjoyable. She is sweet, personable, and an absolute joy to work with. Her creative ideas, like adding a violinist to our ceremony, added an extra layer of magic to our day. We couldn't have asked for a more charming, fun, and talented wedding planner than Jlenia. She made our dream wedding in the Dolomites a reality, and we will forever cherish the memories she helped us create. Thank you, Jlenia for making our day truly special!

"Jlenia has been the BEST decision I’ve made to make my wedding dreams come true. She completely understood my vision and was able to pull off an action packed wedding week. From last minute questions of pre-wedding activities for my guests to rehearsal dinners to the wonderful wedding event. My wedding week has been the most memorable experience for my family friends and I. My wedding day involved a helicopter ride through the Dolomites. Then Jlenia had the helicopter drop us off at the amazing venue of the Lumen mountain photography museum. Jlenia incorporated a jazz singer and guitarist for the ceremony with the most beautiful floral arrangement that was designed based off my wedding dress. In addition to this she was able to assist my guests to the museum via gondola rides. Jlenia was so seamless, efficient, organized, calm and fun to work with. She made my day so easy and I had an absolute blast. We even did a snowboarding/ ski ride after the ceremony and Jlenia was able to have the ski rentals at the museum waiting for us so we didn’t have to do any work.
After which we had our reception at a Michelin star restaurant inside a German castle with a stellar DJ. Honestly, it was the best wedding, best day. All the vendors she curated are top notch talent and so easy and fun to work with. They all ended up being good friends. And the cake, the cake was soooo delicious and everything matched perfectly. As a person who works in the entertainment industry, if Jlenia ever wanted to change careers I told her she would be an amazing producer in film and television.
I am highly impressed with her and her team. I would give her a solid 10 stars!"

"Without Jlenia we would not have had the most magical and special days in the mountains in April this year. She helped us arrange location visits on a trip we took to the area of Meran (which we know very well) and over into the Dolomites which we had never visited. Her recommendations were spot on given we had only spoken to her over a few Skype calls and we had shortlisted 3 venues. We then continued on with Jlenia once we had decided on the perfect one for us, with her connections, knowledge of the area and vendor suggestions really helping so much when planning is done from another country. She is great in responding, flexible, open to changes and ultimately just amazing at what she does! We had significant snowfall on the day of the wedding where Jlenia was invaluable in coordinating last minute logistic tweaks and was even clearing snow from the area in the lead up to the ceremony - truly dedicated to the perfect final touches. Without her presence and hard work the wedding day would have been stressful to manage, but having Jlenia allowed us to relax and enjoy and it was the best day, surpassing even our expectations. Do not think twice when considering Jlenia to help plan your Wedding Day!" (Photos credit to: Silvia Falcomer.)

Absoluter Profi!

Jlenia versteht sofort wie man es gerne hätte, bringt jedoch Tipps & Erfahrungen mit ein und hat immer sofort Ideen für die perfekte Umsetzung dabei :-) Auch auf Ihr Netzwerk ist Verlass, da Sie uns 2 Tage vor der freien Trauung innerhalb 10 Minuten eine neue Traurednerin organisiert hat, da der geplante Trauredner aufgrund Corona ausgefallen ist. Wir konnten in jeder Situation zu 100% auf sie und Ihre Dienstleister zählen und dank Jlenia durften wir ein wunderschönes Hochzeitswochenende erleben!

DANKE für Alles,

Jlenia helped us plan our elopement this past August and she was amazing to work with! She was so organized and helped minimize the stress as much as possible. She helped us pick the most amazing locations in the Dolomites, officiated our wedding, coordinated with our vendors, and even helped me track down one of my wedding outfits when the shipment was delayed. We really could not recommend enough.

Io e mio marito Cesare ci siamo sposati nella idilliaca Alta Valle Badia il 12 giugno 2021, e se siamo arrivati a questo traguardo in un periodo così complicato non smetteremo mai di ringraziare Jlenia per il suo prezioso e tenace lavoro. Ha ascoltato e assecondato con pazienza ogni nostro desiderio, li ha resi possibili nel modo più naturale e genuino che avessimo mai potuto immaginare, rendendo ogni cosa pennellata su di noi. Jlenia sa calarsi nella vita delle persone con cui lavora (e con noi in particolare), con la delicatezza di un fiocco di neve, senza mai essere invadente o inopportuna, ma agendo sempre con discrezione ed eleganza. Ha risolto qualsiasi imprevisto ancor prima che diventasse un vero problema, facendoci sempre sentire tranquilli e focalizzati sulla meta. Jlenia è stata semplicemente unica e insostituibile, non avremmo potuto sperare di trovare una wedding planner migliore, e ancora a distanza di mesi il ricordo del tempo e della cura che ci ha dedicato è parte integrante di quell'avventura chiamata matrimonio, e che non potremo dimenticare. Quindi grazie Jlenia, perchè senza di te niente avrebbe avuto lo stesso sapore, lo stesso successo, lo stesso incanto.

Jlenia is the absolute BEST! If you are planning a wedding in the Dolomites, you don't need to look any further. We spoke with several wedding planners before deciding to work with Jlenia and she organised our dream wedding in Südtirol. She has always been extremely transparent, knowledgeable, and it's clear she has the highest standards. She is also friendly, fun, and a joy to be around! From our early video calls and when we met for a whole day for location scouting, Jlenia always took the greatest care to understand and really listen to what was important to us and bring our wedding day to life – you can trust her judgement & expertise fully. Everything felt so calm, smooth, and fun, and we had the most PERFECT weekend for our civil & symbolic ceremony. There was no stress in the lead up to our wedding as Jlenia took care of everything with such finesse. We got to enjoy ourselves for the entire weekend because of Jlenia's organisation skills, friendly nature, and professionalism. Even when the weather forecast changed to rain, Jlenia seamlessly moved everything up so we could enjoy the outdoor ceremony. She was everywhere on the wedding day but always in the background working with poise; steaming my wedding dress, making sure the aperitif, ceremony, and dinner locations were set up perfectly, bringing the guests to the ceremony, organising where we should be and at what time, plus likely hundreds more things! Every single vendor that Jlenia recommended to us was amazing – our guests were extremely complementary of how wonderful the venue and vendors were! We're so grateful to Jlenia for helping us have the most perfect wedding and we will gladly recommend her to anyone wanting to get married in the Dolomites! We knew the day would be amazing but it truly exceeded all of our expectations ❤️

Jlenia was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish with our wedding planning. We're from the U.S. so planning a wedding at Hotel Kolfuschgerhof/Col Pradat in the Dolomites remotely was a daunting task but Jlenia made is so seamless! If you are thinking about getting a planner to help you in the South Tyrol region for a wedding I highly recommend working with her. Jlenia is a local and her knowledge of the region, vendors, & contacts are invaluable during the planning process. We told her our vision and she presented options and created the perfect weekend. When we visited to checkout the venue she spent the entire day with us walking through step by step to make sure that it was curated to match our vision and then the day of she not only made sure that everything we had asked for happened she was there every step of the way. Our wedding was absolutely PERFECT and we could not believe how well everything was organized and executed on the day of...Exceeded all of our expectations, we couldn’t be happier.

THANK YOU JLENIA!!

We are currently heading back to Houston, TX from our honeymoon and I could not wait to write this review. Jlenia made all of our wedding dreams come true. Our day and the days leading up to and following the wedding were pure magic thanks to Jlenia. We knew prior to our engagement that we wanted a non traditional intimate elopement in the Dolomites which brought me to Jlenia. From our first video call I felt instantly comfortable and in the right hands. We had never been to the Dolomites before but we put all of our trust in her knowledge/expertise and we were not disappointed. She helped us figure out the best venue for both rehearsal dinner and wedding and helped us coordinate with every vendor. There wasn’t a single detail that she did not have covered. When we arrived with our families, she had prepared our welcome gift bags and from day 1 she was available for whatever we needed/ wanted and worked to make sure we had the most amazing time in the Dolomites. I cannot say enough great things about the wedding day. Everything was beyond our wildest dreams and was very importantly stress free. If you are considering a wedding in the Dolomites- do it! And we 1000% would recommend Jlenia for all your wedding planning needs. Hands down best decision we made.

I’ve spent all my life in the Italian Dolomites. To me, these mountains are not just a popular tourist destination, they’re my home. I was born here, raised here, and now, I’ve made it my job to share its deep history and beauty with you.

Wir haben Jlenia Anfang 2019 über ihre Website entdeckt, direkt kennengelernt und die Planungen für unsere ursprünglich standesamtliche Hochzeit aufgenommen. Jlenia ist uns während des gesamten Prozesses wirklich sehr ans Herz gewachsen und stand uns jederzeit mit Rat, Tat und vielen besonderen sowie liebevollen Ideen zur Seite. Trotz der doch schwierigen Ausgangslage im Jahr 2020 eine standesamtliche Hochzeit inmitten der Dolomiten zu planen und einiger coronabedingter Verschiebungen, hat Jlenia immer wieder neue tolle Konzepte und passende Lösungen für unser Elopement gefunden. Schließlich durften wir unsere Liebe an drei durchweg perfekt und einzigartig geplanten Tagen in Südtirol, Venedig und in der Toskana feiern – inklusive Heliflug, Oldtimer-Fahrt und Weinverkostung. Dieses für uns unvergessliche Erlebnis wäre ohne Jlenia nicht möglich gewesen. Besonders schön war es, dass sie jederzeit flexibel und kreativ auf die Situationen und Veränderungen reagiert hat, ein außergewöhnliches Auge für’s Detail und Design hat und in jeder Hinsicht über die richtigen Kontakte verfügt, sodass wir wirklich nur mit tollen Dienstleitern zusammengearbeitet haben, gemeinsam jede Menge Spaß hatten und unser traumhaftes Elopement quer durch Italien einfach nur genießen konnten.

1000 Dank für alles – Franziska /// Christian ♡

Jlenia was absolutely amazing! We can not say enough positive things about her and her dedication to her clients. We are from New York so planning a wedding in the Dolomites seemed impossible at the beginning. She coordinated everything and made the process so enjoyable. She is extremely communicative and easy to reach. She put our nerves at ease and broke down the planning process into achievable steps. It didn’t feel overwhelming at all. Her organizational skills helped us to keep track of potential venues, to do lists, vendors, timelines, and budgeting. She recommended only the best vendors and we loved every single one of them. Gemma crafted a beautiful ceremony that she officiated. There was not a dry eye in the place. We could not have asked for a better team that she assembled! Our family can not stop raving about the wedding and how seamlessly the day went. She also helped us coordinate transportation for our families and was mindful of everyone’s mobility restrictions. We are forever grateful for everything she did for us to make our day perfect! We would 100000% recommend her services to anyone. Thank you, Jlenia!!! We love you!!!

We traveled from the US and got married the day after we landed! Jlenia was beyond helpful and planned every second of the day after I told her my dream/vision. There wasn’t a place we didn’t go on our whole trip (not just wedding day) that Jlenia had not called ahead to make sure we were taken care of in every way. Everyone, everywhere knows her! It truly was the best decision I made, using her.

Siamo Alberto & Nadia, coppia di Milano, innamorata delle Dolomiti che ha deciso di sposarsi nella splendida località di La Valle, lo scorso 26 Aprile. Ci siamo affidati a Gemma per l'organizzazione, e la scelta non avrebbe potuto essere più felice. Si è occupata di tutto, sempre sorridente, con attenzione empatia e cura maniacale dei particolari. Tutto è stato perfetto ed indimenticabile, e Gemma è stato un elemento prezioso ed insostituibile del risultato, grazie a professionalità, relazioni locali, conoscenza del territorio, e grande sensibilità. Mai invadente, sempre presente, entusiasta! Un grazie di cuore ed un grosso abbraccio; non vediamo l'ora di tornare e ritrovarti in mezzo alle tue splendide montagne...

Jemma was the best officiant we could have ever dreamed of. The process of working with her was extremely meaningful and fun. Both my husband and I enjoyed going through her well thought out forms which aided her in scripting the perfect custom ceremony for us. From the moment we met her via Zoom we loved her warm, friendly vibe and appreciated that she didn't try to upsell or push anything on us. She was very collaborative and extremely attentive to details. Our day of ceremony was beyond special because of her. She created such a unique experience that tied in so many of our memories and thoughts about each other. She even had a little special part for our 1 year old daughter to do. Everything about our elopement ceremony was perfect in large part because of the thought she put into planning the ceremony. Jemma also went over and beyond when she offered to help carry some of our supplies for the picnic back from the top of the mountain for us.
