Dolomites Wedding Planner
A two-planner team offering destination weddings, elopements, and celebrant services across South Tyrol and the Dolomites.
Dolomites Wedding Planner is a two-person planning team—Jlenia Costner and Gemma Garriga—based in South Tyrol and the Dolomites, specializing in destination weddings, elopements, celebrant services, and milestone celebrations across one of Italy's most scenically varied regions. The team handles every logistical layer, from invitations and vendor vetting to day-of coordination and post-event cleanup, with a stated commitment to reflecting each couple's personalities and preferences in the details. Services range from full wedding planning and partial planning to intimate "just us" elopements in outdoor settings such as alpine lakes, vineyard estates, and mountain huts. As licensed celebrants, Jlenia and Gemma write and conduct ceremonies in six languages, making the team well suited to international and multilingual couples. They also coordinate smaller-scale events—romantic picnics, surprise proposals, gender reveals—under their Love Dates offering. The team operates year-round and emphasizes deep familiarity with the South Tyrol region, including its weather patterns, noting they maintain contingency plans to keep events on track regardless of conditions.

Hiring a wedding planner in Brunico, Italy
Why a local planner is essential
Planning a wedding remotely in Brunico, Italy without someone local is extremely difficult. A planner who works in the area regularly knows the venues, the reliable vendors, local regulations, and how to navigate language barriers and cultural expectations. They handle logistics you can't manage from abroad.
What to budget
Destination wedding planners typically charge $3,000–$15,000+ depending on the scope. Full-service planning (venue sourcing through day-of execution) is at the higher end. Many couples planning destination weddings find that the planner saves them money overall by avoiding costly mistakes and negotiating local vendor rates.
Questions to ask before booking
How many weddings have you planned in this specific area? Do you handle legal paperwork and permits? What's your vendor network like? Will you be present on the wedding day? How do you handle communication across time zones? What's your contingency plan for weather or vendor no-shows?
When to book
Book your planner first — ideally 12–18 months before the wedding. They'll guide every other vendor decision and help you avoid common destination wedding pitfalls.
