After spending ten years in the wedding industry, planning my own wedding was an absolute joy. I had always envisioned a celebration with a European feel, and the moment I discovered Vienza at Europa Village, I knew it was the perfect setting. With my Italian heritage and my husband’s Indian background, it felt natural to create a day that honored both of our cultures.
Our wedding beautifully blended traditions from each side. We held a Catholic ceremony at St. Martha, where we incorporated meaningful Indian customs, and continued the celebration at our reception, which also included a traditional Italian dance.
We welcomed guests to a stunning outdoor cocktail hour in the Vienza Gardens at Europa Village. Marquee letters spelling AMORE glowed as a string trio played our favorite songs, setting the perfect ambiance as the sun set and guests mingled with drinks and small bites in hand.
The celebration then moved indoors to the ballroom for our reception, illuminated by dozens of candles that created a warm, romantic atmosphere. I selected a timeless, classy all white palette accented with gold for an elegant finish. The night concluded with lively Indian family dances and a five minute choreographed performance with our full bridal party. It was truly a night to remember.
