We plan and design destination weddings on Lake Como, in Tuscany, on the Ligurian Riviera, in Puglia and on the Amalfi Coast. Every wedding gets its own concept and a team that is there on site until the last song plays.
Sanremo, Lake Como and Tuscany in Italy, Lucerne in Switzerland, Bodrum and Cappadocia in Turkey: we take the design everywhere.
It depends so much on region, season, guest count, venue and design that any flat figure on a website would be wrong. You get guide figures for your details in the free consultation.
The regions feel completely different: villas on the lake, vineyards and borghi, white masserie in the south. We show you which one suits your guests, your season and your vibe.
Many villas have a standard set-up you know from a hundred Instagram posts. With us, every wedding starts with its own concept, moodboard and 3D visuals, so you see what it will look like before anything is ordered.
Yes. Planning runs over calls, ideally you come once for a site visit, and we coordinate everything else on site. You get everything in German or English.
A wedding weekend on the Riviera dei Fiori: blue hydrangeas, a villa staircase as the stage, a concept in dark blue and a pool party the day after. The film shows what it looked like better than any text.
You do not have to decide at the start: we often scout venues in several regions, and you decide after the visit.
Villas with gardens down to the water, boats as transfers and evenings on the terrace. This is where Lisa & Thomas got married.

The quieter alternative to the Côte d’Azur, with villas above the sea and a short journey via Nice. This is where Kristina & Filip celebrated.

Wine estates, borghi and villas among cypress trees, easy to reach via Florence and Pisa. This is where Nina & Mirkan celebrated.

White masserie among olive trees, often with exclusive use, arriving via Bari or Brindisi. Pictured: Mastropa Resort in Massafra.

At one of our weddings in Apulia: Mastropà Resort near Massafra, with a white courtyard, old olive trees and dinner under the open sky. The ceremony beforehand was at the Santuario Madonna della Scala, a church on the slope of a ravine full of caves.
Masserie are often remote and can be rented exclusively. That is why we plan transfers, lighting and music times from the start.
No template, no off-the-shelf package. Every wedding gets its own concept, its own dramaturgy and a design that has never existed before.
Everyone has arrived and the evening is long. Wood-fired pizza, aperitivo on the terrace or a boat across the lake: a relaxed start where both families get to know each other.
The ceremony at golden hour, then dinner, speeches and the party. Many villas often allow outdoor music only until around midnight, after which the party moves inside. We plan for that from the start.
The day after belongs to you and your guests: brunch, a pool party or a boat along the coast, with a DJ and no schedule.

I am Büsra, founder of Kaipo Weddings. Before I planned weddings, I came from design, and that is exactly what you notice in our weddings.
With my team I plan every wedding personally and I am on site at the wedding weekend, in Sanremo just as on Lake Como. We negotiate directly with venues and suppliers; you sign the contracts yourselves and pay directly, with no hidden commissions.
That is why we only take on a limited number of weddings each year.
Many couples have the civil ceremony at home and a symbolic ceremony in Italy. It is the simplest option legally and leaves you completely free in place and time: in the garden, on the terrace or by the lake.
If you want a civil wedding in Italy, you need, among other things, a certificate of no impediment (the Nulla Osta) and coordination with the municipality where the ceremony takes place. We check together with you which documents apply to your nationality.
Possible wherever the venue allows it, with your own dramaturgy and celebrant.
With the Nulla Osta, an interpreter and an appointment at the municipality, often in a historic hall of the town hall.
What you really need to know is in our guide.
Small works well in Italy too. We show what that can look like using Lake Como as an example.
We tell you honestly which region suits your guests, and we clarify exclusive use, music hours and catering rules before you sign.
Moodboard, colour palette and 3D visualisation of the ceremony, table and lighting, so you see months in advance what it will look like.
Catering, florals, lighting, sound, music, photo and video. Whether the villa has in-house catering or you need an external caterer is the first thing we clarify. You sign the contracts directly, with no hidden commissions.
Flight tracking, room allocations, a guest guide and one fixed contact, so nobody calls you on the wedding day.
Shuttles from Milan, Nice, Florence, Bari or Naples, boats on the lake and narrow access roads to villas where no large coach gets through.
On the weekend itself our team leads you through everything. You put your phone away.
It depends above all on region, season, venue, guest count and design. A villa on Lake Como in July and a masseria in Puglia in September are far apart. We work out guide figures for your details with you in the free consultation; the planning fee is always separate.
Lake Como suits elegant weddings in villas overlooking the water, Tuscany suits wine estates and borghi, Puglia suits masserie with lots of space for a whole weekend, Liguria suits villas above the sea with a short journey via Nice, and the Amalfi Coast suits terraces with a view and more logistics.
A villa is a manor house with a garden, a castello a castle, a masseria a fortified farm estate in the south, a borgo an entire small village and a palazzo a city palace. Many can be booked for exclusive use; some have in-house catering, others work with external caterers. That is exactly what we clarify before you sign.
Yes, through the municipality with the Nulla Osta and other documents depending on your nationality. Many couples, however, have the civil ceremony at home and a symbolic ceremony in Italy. We check together with you what applies to you.
The season runs roughly from May to October. June and September are especially popular and book up early. Around Ferragosto in mid-August, much is full and more expensive, and some suppliers take a break. In the south it gets very hot in July and August.
Each venue and municipality sets its own rules. Outdoor music often ends at midnight, after which the party continues inside or more quietly. We clarify curfew and volume before booking so your party is not over at 11:59 pm.
For Lake Como, Milan Malpensa or Linate; for Liguria and Sanremo, usually Nice; for Tuscany, Florence or Pisa; for Puglia, Bari or Brindisi; and for the Amalfi Coast, Naples. We tell your guests which flight suits them before they book.
For a weekend in peak season at a well-known villa, approx. 12 to 18 months in advance. Smaller venues and weekday dates also work at shorter notice. The earlier you get in touch, the bigger the choice.
No. With Kaipo Weddings you sign the contracts directly with the suppliers and pay them directly as well. There are no hidden commissions; our planning fee is its own separate item.
Not necessarily. Catering at Turkish luxury hotels is often even more expensive than at renowned venues in Italy, while custom-made furniture and decor are usually cheaper in Turkey. We are happy to compare what makes more sense for your wedding.
