I love my job and the chance to deliver a couple the day of their dreams, to create it together with them is a wonderful experience, every time unique and rewarding. I want your wedding to have the most special place in your heart for the rest of your life. I approach each wedding as a combined effort and I’m perfectly aware that getting married abroad means relying on a professional wedding planner to advise you, negotiate on your behalf, translate documents and be on top of everything, so I really do my best to never disappoint you and plan your wedding as if I was planning my own wedding!

Day of coordination service is for couples who have the time and “know how” to plan their own wedding but want an experienced wedding planner to handle all the details on their special day.

We will manage the entire day, including questions from vendors and overseeing every detail of your wedding arrangements.

We will be present during the ceremony and reception and ensure that nothing has been forgotten and handle any “surprises” that may arise. The bride and groom will arrive with nothing left to do but enjoy every minute of their special day.

Why Marry in Piedmont:

Langhe is a UNESCO World Heritage site candidate.

You will find many treasures to discover and really wonderful venues!  It’s a unique place to discover and learn about…. a place for couples who are looking for something really different … a land that features world-famous wines (Barolo, Barbarescoetc…), exceptional food amid stunning landscapes and breath-taking scenery.

Imagine sweet slopes covered with a succession of vineyards, hazel fields and dense woods, a series of darling villages all nestled close together, only a few kilometers apart, all set amongst vineyard-clad hills as far as the eye can see.

Piedmont is the only region in Italy where it is possible to organise beautiful weddings and events also during Winter. Extraordinary Weddings can help you finding the most romantic chalet in the mountains or an enchanted Alpine village where you can celebrate the perfect ‘snow-wedding’. There’s a variety of charming mountain towns and villages in the area nearby Cuneo where the snow capped mountains will embrace your event.

Family and friends will enjoy the opportunity to participate in some wonderful skiing and remember a very unique wedding in the Italian Alps, truly one of the highlights of Italy.

Pia & David // Extraordinary Weddings Wedding & Event Planners Piedmont Italy“I cannot recommend Extraordinary Weddings enough to anyone considering getting married in Italy. When we first decided to get married abroad and set our sights on a wedding by one of the Italian lakes, we were nervous about finding someone that we could trust to make our dream a reality. Barbara made it happen! She is a true professional who went above and beyond to make our day, and the run up to it, as special and stress free as possible. She was always quick in responding to emails and was incredibly thorough in finding the best suppliers based on our budget. She was amazing at negotiating on our behalf and was on top of every detail which was so important to me because you can feel a bit powerless sometimes when you decide to get married abroad! She was a true ally and friend throughout the process. Everyone at the wedding commented that we couldn’t have had a better planner! If you’re getting married in Italy and looking for a planner, call Barbara Gourdain!“

Pia & David (Ireland)

Extraordinary Weddings Wedding & Event Planners Piedmont Italy“We used Extraordinary Weddings Italy to help put together our beautiful wedding in La Morra, Piedmonte. It was a special place for us – having visited there previously – we always knew we wanted to be married there. It was a difficult time of year, and because we were Australians, there was a lot of procedures and paperwork to be mindful of. Working with Barbara made this so incredibly painless and simple. It was almost as if most of the wedding was taken care of. Someone was always within Skype, phone or text. She’s incredibly pro-active and professional. She can work to any budget and can really help make the most memorable day. To anyone who is looking for some help in organising their wedding in Italy – we do highly encourage you to whip a quick email to Barbara…you’ll understand what we mean!”

Brendan & Laura (Australia)

But if you try to start plan with exact dates, a detailed plan of your wedding day, decor / color/ theme / fresh f lowers, best and tasteful food and your wedding cake! Oh I forgot to mention one hundred documents which you have to prepare for you abroad wedding!!! But do not panic – here comes Barbara. She is my angel and person who I admire, only with her help my wedding day is ready to become a perfect wedding day for us! It is not a promo post, it is heartfelt post full of trust, laugh, greetings and dolce time!”

Monica & Eigirdas (Lithuania)

Clare & Matt // Extraordinary Weddings Wedding & Event Planners Piedmont Italy“Barbara made our wedding a dream come true. Her attention to detail, fastidious organisation, connections to all the very best suppliers & her caring-friendly approach make her an outstanding wedding planner. Living in the UK but planning our wedding in Italy, we could never have done what she helped us to do make our day do perfect. Barbara, we can’t thank you enough.”

Clare & Matt (UK)

Valerie // Extraordinary Weddings Wedding & Event Planners Piedmont Italy“I really don’t know what I would have done without Extraordinary Weddings. I was so busy with travel and activity planning for our international guests that I relied heavily on Barbara for the wedding day details. She took care of everything I needed immediately and always offered ideas and suggestions that I did not know were possible since I’m not from here. Extraordinary Weddings brought my wedding day vision to life. The execution and décor were flawless. Everything was even more amazing than we imagined!”

Valerie Quintanilla (USA)
