When we started planning our destination wedding, we searched and searched for a wedding planner. i remember spending so many hours trying to find a planner who could make our visions come to life. when i happened upon valentina’s website by accident, i felt it was meant to be. every wedding featured on her portfolio told a unique and beautiful love story. the artistry of each wedding was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. we sent in our request for her services within minutes! following a very nontraditional zoom call from alaska to london, we were totally and completely in love with her. it is so hard to describe the immediate bond we felt with valentina, knowing that we had found someone who truly radiated light and love. over the next year, valentina was the rock we clung to. planning a wedding on a small, very traditional island with a language barrier never slowed her down. she was always there for us, providing advice, options, visions, and friendship. even with all the preparations, nothing could have prepared us for how amazing the day (and week around it) would be. every detail was thought out perfectly and every minute was full of magic. i could not have pictured a more amazing day if i tried. the day we left milos and had to say goodbye, it was like saying goodbye to a lifelong friend. there will never be another person so genuine, professional, dedicated, talented, and magical as valentina because there could never be another her. we will forever treasure valentina and all she did to make our wedding the most special day of our lives.

Wow, just wow. working with valentina was brilliant from start to finish. she took hours and hours of time to create the most exquisite, intimate, chic, stylish and design oriented wedding and made the entire experience joyful and stress-free. understanding our modern and bold aesthetic, juxtaposed with the laid-back serenity of the countryside, she executed our vision beyond our wildest dreams. valentina told our love story the way we wanted it to be told and we will always have the fondest memories of our wedding day. don’t hesitate to hire her - she will make your dreams come true!

Working with valentina surpassed all our expectations! she is so warm and caring, she honestly felt like a close friend or family member rather than just a wedding planner. from start to finish, she ensured we were able to get everything we wanted for our day without any stress or headache. she is everything you could want in a wedding planner--organized, knowledgeable, professional, but she adds a level of care and love that is so comforting. if you are looking at this review and trying to find a wedding planner, just go ahead and book valentina. you won't regret it!

Valentina never ceases to amaze me with her ability to create the most original, breathtakingly beautiful weddings and elopements . her attention to detail and creative vision is truly second to none! i have worked with many of the world's top stylists and planners over the last few years and can hand on heart recommend valentina as the ultimate - the very, very best.
