Our Philosophy
Every wedding we create is rooted in a simple belief: your celebration should feel unmistakably yours. We are based in Tuscany — and after 15 years here, we know this land the way only a local can: its hidden villas, its light in every season, its best-kept secrets that no travel guide will ever list.
We are owner-managed, which means Beatrice is personally involved in every project. No handoffs, no junior coordinators on your wedding day. Just one dedicated team that knows your story and cares about every detail.
Our work extends across all of Italy — from the Amalfi Coast to the lakes of the North, from Sicily to Umbria. Wherever you dream of saying yes, we bring the same depth of knowledge, the same trusted network, and the same commitment to making it feel like it could only have happened here, and only for you.
Founded in 2013, Al Fresco Wedding has grown to become the leading agency for couples from around the world seeking to celebrate their love in Italy. Over the years, we have established ourselves as the go-to planners for luxury destination weddings, transforming dreams into breathtaking realities with our signature blend of elegance, authenticity, and impeccable attention to detail.
Led by Beatrice, our Founder and Creative Director, our expert team is dedicated to delivering excellence, creativity, and seamless execution. With years of experience in luxury wedding planning, we craft one-of-a-kind celebrations for discerning international couples who desire an immersive, high-end experience in Italy’s most stunning locations: Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, and Sicily.
We believe in an entirely bespoke approach to wedding planning. No two weddings are ever the same. We take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and priorities, designing an event that reflects your style and personality. From selecting iconic venues—historic villas, charming countryside estates, exclusive coastal resorts—to curating the finest Michelin-starred catering, world-class entertainment, and bespoke floral designs, every element is flawlessly executed with the highest level of service.
Whether you dream of an intimate ceremony in a Tuscan vineyard, a grand affair in a Baroque palace in Sicily, or a romantic sunset celebration along the Lazio coast, we transform extraordinary locations into timeless, luxurious wedding experiences. Our exclusive network of top-tier vendors ensures a seamless and stress-free journey to your perfect day.
Your wedding in Italy is not just an event—it is a masterpiece of love, beauty, and refined luxury, designed to captivate and enchant.
The Founder
BEATRICE
“Al fresco wedding” is my brand. I am a wedding planner and designer, and a travel agent. I like the idea of having the power to share creations with others and building a tribe of happy customers.
Being a wedding planner is the fusion and culmination of experience gained over the years, combining my knowledge of the Tuscan area and my expertise in tourism with a passion for planning and design.
My experience started 12 years ago in a fantastic Castle very well known as beautiful wedding venue. I worked as wedding planner for the Castle and I felt in love with this beautiful job and after years in the tourism I decided to dedicate all my energies to the destination weddings and to make the couples from all over the World happy.
The day of the wedding when you realize that what you have imagined and planned and designed for months come to reality it makes me so happy and proud for the team and the hard work done in the past months. My goal is when the couple say that it was exactly how they envisioned and couldn’t be better.
I’m very conscious that planning a destination wedding overseas can be overwhelming and it is my job to make it absolutely fun and relaxing for everyone during the next months of planning and while you are making memories here in our beautiful country!

Hello, I’m Roberta Pizzinelli, the proud force behind Al Fresco Wedding. My journey into the world of weddings has been shaped by years of experience in congress planning. I spent considerable time with a major agency in Florence, orchestrating scientific congresses globally. While successful in that realm, my heart was always drawn to the captivating universe of wedding planning.
The prospect of transforming the dreams of countless couples into reality, of being the guiding hand from the initial planning stages to their most special day, is truly amazing. My expertise, honed over 12 years, began in a magnificent castle renowned for hosting beautiful weddings. It was here that I fell head over heels in love with this enchanting profession.
After years in the tourism industry, I decided to channel all my energies into destination weddings, aiming to bring joy to couples from every corner of the world. There’s an indescribable happiness and pride that comes from seeing months of planning, envisioning, and designing materialize on the day of the wedding. My goal is achieved when the couple expresses that their day was exactly as they envisioned, if not better.
I am acutely aware that planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming. It’s my commitment to turn this process into a fun and relaxing journey for everyone involved throughout the months of planning and the creation of lasting memories in our beautiful country. I look forward to bringing the magic of Al Fresco Wedding to your special day.
