Hi, I’m Nicole Bono
YOUR Personal dream-maker and right-hand wingwoman
Hello, gorgeous. Welcome! And thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I’m so excited that you’re here and that you found me. Let me tell you: your wedding dreams are about to take flight.
First thing’s first - many congratulations on your engagement. I am so excited for you and I promise to make it my personal mission to make sure you have the wedding day of your dreams…and more.
How do I turn your dreams into reality, you ask? Simple. I get to know you – really well. My personalized approach ensures that every single choice and detail is a reflection of your personality, preferences, and passions.
As my destination wedding couple, your vision, dreams, and every wish is my absolute priority. Without exception. You will get my extreme honest opinion, transparency, years of experience, connections, know-how…and my unwavering loyalty & stubbornness to fulfil your dream!
I speak multiple languages, fluently, so conversing and negotiating with your vendors in their language is much more..shall we say…effective! ;)
I am so much more than your planner; I am your personal dream maker. And your wish, is my command.
We don't just plan weddings; we curate once-in-a-lifetime experiences, leaving you & your guests with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Given the depth of our work and to ensure the utmost care and attention to each wedding, we are only accepting a limited number of bookings per year. AND we prefer to begin the planning process at least one year before your wedding date. Please get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment.
“I had a dream of an over-the-top, gorgeous, Italian wedding. Nicole and her team took every bit of stress off my shoulders, absolutely knocked it out of the park for me, and gave me the wedding of my dreams.”
