Destination Wedding Planner in Italy

Planning a destination wedding in Italy is an extraordinary opportunity

but it also comes with many decisions, especially when organizing everything from abroad.

I’m Guja Pusterla, a destination wedding planner based between Lake Como and Tuscany, working with couples from around the world who choose Italy as the setting for one of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

My role is to guide you through the entire process, helping you create a wedding that feels personal, elegant, and truly seamless.

A personal approach to destination weddings

Every couple arrives with a different vision.

Some dream of a refined celebration overlooking Lake Como. Others imagine a relaxed, multi-day wedding in the Tuscan countryside, surrounded by vineyards and historic villas.

Rather than offering standard packages, I work closely with each couple to design a celebration that reflects their story — balancing aesthetics, logistics, and guest experience.

Many of the weddings I plan are multi-day celebrations, where family and friends travel to Italy and share several days together.

Where I work

While I plan weddings across Italy, my work is primarily focused on:

LAKE COMO

Timeless villas, elegant settings and iconic views

TUSCANY

Countryside estates, vineyards, and relaxed multi-day celebrations

Focusing on these regions allows me to offer trusted local connections, carefully selected venues, and a deeper understanding of each location.

START NOW

Planning your wedding from abroad

Planning a wedding in another country can feel complex.

Couples often need support with:

venue selection
vendor coordination
timelines and logistics
legal requirements
communication with local suppliers

My role is to simplify this process, providing clear guidance and constant support so you can enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed.

The couples who work with me often say they felt supported every step of the way — even from thousands of miles away.

  Wedding planning can be very stressful, but Guja made the entire process of planning and executing our wedding weekend totally stress-free! Our family and friends still talk about how amazing our wedding was and that is all thanks to Guja. She has a great eye for design and made every event look stunning and run efficiently.  She is a great person and we are proud to call her a friend now :) Thank you for everything Guja!!!

  In August 2025, our wedding took place at Hotel Villa Cipressi, Lake Como. We decided to plan our own wedding, using Guja's services for co-ordination on the day.

In our view, Guja and her team are absolutely priceless. The advice leading up to the wedding with regular prompt messages and video calls allowed us to plan the wedding to perfection.

Living in the UK meant we did have some apprehension being so far away and only getting to the venue a few days before. Guja and her team put all our reservations to the side, which gave us so much confidence that our day would be perfect.

On the wedding day, Guja and her team worked none stop attending to all our guests and suppliers needs.

Looking back, we just don't know what we would have done without her. If we could, we would have given 6 stars.

Thank you so much,

Mr and Mrs Lomas

  I truly don’t know how to put into words how grateful I am for Guja. From the moment we began planning, she became my anchor. She is calm, confident, and endlessly thoughtful. We planned a wedding in a city we had never been to, and somehow, she made every decision feel easy and every step feel exciting. Her insight, guidance, and connections were invaluable, but what really stood out was her heart. She cared about our day as if it were her own.

On the wedding day itself, she was by my side from the first moment to the last. I looked to her for every single thing, decisions big and small, and she handled it all with grace and warmth. She anticipated my every need before I could even ask. You spend so much time and trust with your planner, and I can say with absolute certainty that I trusted her with my whole heart. By the end of this process, she wasn’t just my planner, she was a friend I hope to have for life! Our friends and family 2 weeks later are still raving about how wonderful she was. She integrated herself into our day so effortlessly, and we are eternally grateful for her. If you’re lucky enough to work with Guja, you will feel cared for, understood, and completely supported every step of the way. I will recommend her to all of my brides looking to get married in LC. There are truly not enough positive things I could say that would do her justice! 10000/10!

  Guja is truly a dream wedding planner! From the very first message, she was warm, responsive, and completely tuned in to our vision. She helped us plan the most beautiful and intimate wedding in Lake Como, and it was beyond anything we could have imagined. Every detail — from the ceremony setup to the floral arrangements and timing — was flawless.

What really stood out was how calm, kind, and organized she was throughout the entire process. Even from overseas, she made planning feel effortless and enjoyable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she connected us with such talented local vendors who shared the same care and passion.

Our day was magical, stress-free, and filled with love — all thanks to Guja. If you're dreaming of a Lake Como wedding, there is no one better to bring it to life. We’ll forever be grateful for her and her vendors. 💛

  Our wedding at Villa Cipressi was truly a dream come true, and we couldn’t have done it without Guja! From the early planning stages to the big day, she guided us through everything, making the entire process so seamless.

Being from Toronto, we especially appreciated her local expertise— she connected us with the most amazing vendors, each of whom made our day even more magical!

Even when unexpected rain changed our plans, Guja handled everything flawlessly, creating a beautiful and unforgettable day. Our guests couldn’t stop smiling, and neither could we!! It was a day we’ll cherish forever, and we’re so grateful to have had Guja by our side.

Guja, thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and for making our wedding so special. We will always be thankful for you! 🤍

  Our journey with Guja began in 2023 when we were excitedly looking for a wedding planner to plan our lake Como wedding. Honestly, it just never would have happened without her. From the beginning, we knew Guja was the right fit for us. She was kind, honest, and adamant she would find the perfect venue and vendors for us. The initial stages of planning would have been extremely stressful without her. She communicated with our potential venues and all of the vendors on our behalf and within a short period of time we had absolutely all of our vendors locked in. Guja was always happy to meet via zoom and she was extremely generous with her time. As we didn’t travel to Italy before our wedding, Guja did everything to make sure we were comfortable with every choice, even meeting my husband’s parents at the menu tasting when we weren’t able to go. When it was finally time to travel to Italy, we arrived in the area 2 weeks before the wedding, so she even helped me find somewhere to get my nails done and sat with me at the salon to translate! We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the beautiful Villa Regina Teodolinda and thanks to Guja, it was the most beautiful day of our lives. Guja put so much heart and soul into every single detail, and we were absolutely blown away! Thank you so much Guja. If we could do it all again, we would!

  Guja is an excellent wedding planner! She helped us plan our wedding in Lake Como, Italy. We live in the US and planned the wedding remotely without visiting the venue. Guja made it easy for us and on the day of the wedding she had all the details covered. All of her vendors were great as well. Our friends and family loved her and she became family to us all. I would highly recommend Guja’s wedding planning services!

  Guja was the most amazing wedding planner I could have asked for! Coming from the states, planning a wedding in Lake Como seemed so overwhelming, but Guja made everything very smooth and easy. I cannot imagine the amount of things that would have gone wrong if I did not have her! But thanks to Guja, our day was absolutely perfect❤️ She is so kind and genuinely cares about each and every wedding she plans.
