Meet Caterina Lostia, destination wedding plannerTwenty-five years,one eye for luxury
I learned luxury where it is least forgiving: in fashion, in fine jewelry, in windows that had to be flawless before the city woke.
“I bring that same standard to a single evening in an Italian villa: an architect’s discipline, a visual merchandiser’s instinct, and a celebration that feels composed, never staged.”
Founder & CEO
I am an architect of atmospheres
More than two hundred events later, that is still the only way I know how to work.
I trained as an architect, then spent years inside the world of luxury, first with fashion houses, later designing for Cartier and Tiffany, where excellence is not the goal but the starting point. That is where I learned what a millimeter costs, and how much of the final effect depends on what nobody ever sees.
Architectural rigor
Every sightline, every flow of movement, every structure is calculated with the precision I would apply to a building. Beauty that has to hold three hundred people is not improvised; it is engineered.
Pragmatic problem-solving
A complex build in a remote location, a supplier who fails at the wrong hour, weather that turns: my training is what lets me solve these quickly and precisely, while the celebration continues as though nothing had happened.
True luxury is invisible
All of that engineering stays behind the scenes, so that you and your guests are free to be entirely present.
“The most precise architecture is the one that still remembers it was alive.”
Designing the atmosphere
Precision is not the opposite of emotion. It is what protects it.
Designthe origin
The through line, the palette, the scenography of every space. No supplier, no timeline, no detail is decided before I know which event we are building. Everything that follows is a consequence of this.
Planningdesign becoming method
Suppliers chosen for their ability to interpret the project, never for their availability. A schedule built to protect rhythm and atmosphere, so that what was designed is not diluted in execution.
Coordinationplanning becoming presence
On the days themselves, my team and I hold the thread, so that nothing conceived is lost in the instant it happens.
Whether in a historic residence or a countryside estate, my role is the same: to translate your vision into a project that is coherent, technically sound, and welcoming, as though the space had been made for your guests.
Meet the team
I design. They make sure nothing rests on a single pair of hands.
A celebration of three hundred people cannot depend on one person, and I would not want it to. Architecture, flowers, fabrics, graphics, guest care, contracts: each is held by someone who does only that, all year round. It is what lets us move quickly when something changes at the last hour and ensures that the design leaving my desk is the one your guests actually see.
Lawyer and accountant; contracts and agreements.
Planning, coordination, and on site on the event days.
Every communication with every supplier.
Your guests before they arrive: travel, accommodation, and everything between the event days.
What has to be captured is decided before the day, never discovered on it.
Every installation, from the build to the final placement of the last object.
Twenty years in fabric setting and scenography.
Every printed and written element, and on site on the event days.

Choosing well matters
I would like to hear about your celebration: the shape of the days, the people traveling, what you are most looking forward to and what worries you slightly.
Choosing well matters more than choosing me.
