Federica
Now with Distinctive Italy I not only have the opportunity of creating amazing menus but also curating the entire event down to the smallest details! I am passionate about planning Sikh and Hindu weddings in Tuscany or any part of Italy for that matter…….and yes, when it comes to cuisine it’s fair to say I am an expert😊.
Aesthetics are very important to me and I love the design aspects of the events I create. Set me loose with a palette and mood board and I am happy!
My team members will tell you that I am very precise and detail oriented with a good macro as well as micro picture of each event I curate.
This team was the reason we were able to pull off an Indian wedding in Italy. All the calls and messages all paid off. They provided us with all the options for our vendors that made our vision come to life. We wouldn’t have asked for a better team. Our wedding would not have been the way it turned out without them.
