Julie Palombaro has an extensive background in hospitality, public relation and wedding planning. Having seen many places around the world she is convinced that there is no place like Italy to get married.. She started Wedding Italy I do because of the growing demand of foreigners getting married in Italy looking for someone qualified they can trust and count on for the organization of their wedding in Italy.

Julie Palombaro started to organize weddings at the Borgia Castle (www.il-borgia.it), property of her family in 2001 when someone asked her "Can I get married at your Castle?" She thought, why not? The only problem was that the future bride was living on the other side of the world... from then on it was quite clear that living thousand and thousand kilometers away from the wedding location of your dreams wouldn’t have been a problem at all... She started with the weddings for fun then after she graduated at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Business Communication, she started to dedicate herself only in this activity. She spent her life living between the serene atmosphere of the Trasimeno lake at the border of Tuscany and Umbria and the city life of Rome. Today Julie is an accomplished wedding planner well-known in the international panorama. She also started to teach how to become a wedding planner at the Accademy of the  European Association of Professional Wedding Planners. She avails her self of the cooperation of her assistants, but never missed the day of the wedding.

Julie says:

"A wedding planner must be very patient and calm, always having everything under control. A little bit of psychology is required to understand what the people really want..Of course, he or she must be a good negotiator. We are the mouthpiece for the bride and groom when it comes to ordering flowers, hiring a band, a photographer, finding a caterer, etc. A wedding planner must be able to get them the best service for a reasonable price. Our reputation depends on it. Networking is also important. Establishing good connections will help ensure that we get good deals. That's not all. A wedding planner must also be very well organized. She or he must be creative and should have a good knowledge of colours, music, and flowers. A good knowledge of religions is also imperative, since a wedding ceremony is often a religious one. Related to this, is a knowledge of customs and traditions, which are also part of many wedding ceremonies. It is important also to keep up with the latest trends".
