Hey, There!
I’m Ally.

I’m a Wedding Officiant, Elopement Planner, and Wine Event Curator, passionate about love, wine, and the timeless beauty of Italy.

I have the incredible joy of guiding couples through unforgettable symbolic wedding ceremonies, planning intimate celebrations in breathtaking locations across Italy, and curating immersive wine experiences that capture the heart of Italian culture.

Whether you need a personal ceremony, a full elopement experience, or a moment to savor Italy’s wine culture, I’m here to make it meaningful, effortless, and unforgettable.

Because love and wine? They’re meant to be shared.

My Mission

“My goal is to create moments of joy, connection, and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.”

For Those with Time to Spare (or to Lose!)

If you’re curious about my story and have a few moments (or more) to dive in, feel free to keep reading. It’s a long one…but if you’d like to know the person behind the service, it might just be worth your time!

My journey began with a deep curiosity about the world and its many cultures, which led me to earn a degree in Foreign Cultures followed by a Master’s in Tourism Management.

With a passion for travel and discovery, I moved to the United States, where I worked in a charming wine bar in Washington DC, run by fellow Italians. It was there that my love for wine began to truly bloom. Surrounded by people who shared my roots and passion, I felt a growing desire to share the beauty, depth, and richness of my country with others — especially those who might never have the chance to experience it in person.

Back in Italy, I continued to deepen that passion. I became a certified Sommelier and earned my WSET qualification, exploring vineyards from north to south and listening to the stories behind every bottle. Wine, for me, became more than a drink, it became a way to connect people, to celebrate place and tradition.

But while wine opened the door, it was love stories that stole my heart.

Working in luxury hospitality, first managing private events at the Waldorf Astoria in Rome and then at an exclusive five-star boutique hotel, I had the privilege of helping couples celebrate their most meaningful moments.

I organized everything from intimate dinners to elegant weddings, assisted with menu selections, curated wine lists, and coordinated every detail with care. What moved me most, however, was witnessing the pure emotion in the eyes of two people committing their lives to one another.

That’s when I knew: I wanted to be part of that moment, not just behind the scenes.

So I created my own agency, “Loveandwine“ and I became a wedding celebrant and a full elopement planner, offering couples not just a ceremony, but a complete experience. I realized I could bring together everything I love…Italy, romance, beauty, storytelling, and yes, even a touch of wine, to create meaningful, intimate weddings for people from all over the world.

Today, I help couples like you plan unforgettable elopements and microweddings in the most magical corners of Italy. Whether you’re dreaming of a ceremony on a sunlit terrace in Rome, a vineyard in Tuscany, or by the sea in Sicily, I’m here to make it real, personal, soulful, and beautifully simple.

I’ll be there not just as your celebrant, but as your planner, guide, and friend, taking care of the details so you can focus on what matters most: your love, your story, your unforgettable day.
