As we enter our eighth year in destination wedding planning here in the Cinque Terre, Italy, helping almost 100 couples tie the knot, by golly this award: Bespoke Wedding Company of the Year for Italy, is sure to make our day, month, year!

You see the Luxury Travel Guide Wedding Awards program recognises consistent performance in the wedding industry. Nominees are put forward by industry experts, readers and satisfied customers. Then the in-house professionals and celebrity guest judges pick those most deserving of recognition.

Throughout the past 12 months, Luxury Travel Guide Wedding Awards received a whopping 9,456 nominations from 16 countries and winners were chosen for specialism, creativity, reliability and most importantly, service excellence.

What’s more – now this part makes us rather giddy – along with the in-house team at Luxury Travel Guide, the judges of our work included TV beauties Claire Newell (Travel Expert) who reaches 5.5 million viewers weekly and regularly appears on the Today Show, the Travel Channel’s Marianela Pereyra (Resident Beach Expert) who speaks Spanish, French and our language of love, Italian, while visiting the best beaches in the world – horrid job, that one – and creator of photos that make you want to go “ooh ahh”, luxury hospitality photographer Antonio Cuellar.

So what did the Luxury Travel Guide judges say about our win, you wonder? Why, we can tell you exactly what they said,

“Cinque Terre Wedding has shown a great passion for wedding services in Italy. They work with local suppliers and provide couples with an authentic Italian wedding experience.”

Now that’s pretty ace, if we do say so ourselves.

So big shout out to all the “I’m so lucky to work with you” Cinque Terre Wedding Team and all our local suppliers who help make the magic happen. And a kiss on both cheeks to all who voted for us.

Be sure to watch out for news of Cinque Terre Wedding’s win in the Luxury Travel Guide Wedding publication found in airport lounges around the world. Or simply keep your eyes peeled for news from us as we are sure to keep harping on about the awesomeness of this award for some time to come.

Each year, couples from around the world nominate companies, individuals, products and services which they feel are deserving of recognition. And this year Cinque Terre Wedding planners in Italy have been put forward by past brides, grooms and their guests.

The award is run by the Luxury Travel Guide – the producer of 42 different publications around the world. The Luxury Travel Guide also has over 550,000 international subscribers and is a great collaborator with the World Travel Market. And if you happen to be unwinding in one of the 38 Swissport Aspire Lounges dotted around the globe, be sure to flick through one of the Luxury Travel Guide publications as you chillax.

Excitingly this year, instead of having wedding topics mixed in with all the other fun travel stuff, the Luxury Travel Guide is also launching a specific Wedding platform and magazine.

For a destination wedding company like Cinque Terre Wedding, a travel publisher who’s now focusing on weddings is a perfect match. Now our wedding couples who all love to travel will be able to access this new on point resource. So stay tuned for some more wedding loveliness from them soon.

But back to the award… the 2018 Wedding & Event Specialist Awards will celebrate and reward excellence. They will focus on recognizing the important work of wedding planners in Italy and abroad, along with celebrating successes and outstanding achievements over the year.

Entering our seventh year of wedding planning we are super honored to have been shortlisted for this award and to be recognized among the best of the best wedding planners in the wedding world.

Tanti baci to our destination wedding couples who nominated us.

Fingers crossed! We’ll keep you posted.
