If you are looking for the right wedding planner, look no further. Puglia Ever After is the planning company you need to ensure your wedding is magical and seamless! We felt defeated about planning a destination wedding until we met with Pia virtually over coffee. She was the only planner to suggest a meeting in this way, and when we met her, we already felt a part of Pia's team.
Pia quickly became our eyes, ears, and feet on the ground. We never had a chance to visit our venue before the wedding, but Pia helped us plan a 3-day wedding event without visiting on-site and made sure to help us feel comfortable from afar. She went to all the venues and took pictures and videos for us. Pia managed all the events to ensure that our guests and we were cared for, and she helped us plan all of it in less than a year. From site seeing to virtual meetings with the venue and vendors, Pia made us feel as comfortable as we could meeting everyone from afar. I can't stress the importance of having a planner that understands you, your partner, and your vision. She does a great job of understanding who you and your partner are and your wedding vision. Pia also does a beautiful job of tying intentional moments together, and she always tries to make the vision come to life, which was very much apparent during all our wedding events! It was really important to us that we gave our guests a true "Apulian experience," and it was exactly that for each event we hosted for our guests.
Working with Pia means that you have a big advocate on your side; she will always ensure you get what's best. She works with a talented group of vendors, which makes you feel like you have an extension of your family surrounding you on your special day! Her attention to detail is unmatched, and she will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best day ever. There were moments Pia would come to us with an idea or an inspiration, and it felt really good to say, "I trust you, Pia!" and have her work the magic that was created in her mind. To be able to have full trust in someone planning one of the most beautiful days in your life is something extremely special. We are so fortunate to have had Pia and the team plan our wedding weekend! You are in excellent hands with Pia and the rest of the Puglia Ever After team!! We miss working with them and hope that everyone gets a chance to meet the wonderful Maria Pia and the rest of the Puglia Ever After team!
