benvenuti, I'm Jessica
Think of me as your wedding-planning best friend who just happens to have the keys to Tuscany's most stunning villas (and knows all the best-kept secrets).
I'm The Secret Wedding Box, and I believe your wedding should feel like the best dinner party you've ever thrown—just with better views, more prosecco, and someone else handling the logistics. I specialise in intimate wedding celebrations, particularly in the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, though I'm equally at home planning beautiful UK weddings for couples who prefer to celebrate closer to home.
My love affair with Italy began long before I started planning weddings. There's something about Tuscany—the way golden light filters through centuries-old cypress trees, how meals become four-hour celebrations, the warmth of people who've mastered the art of living well—that captured my heart completely. I've spent years building relationships with villa owners, local artisans, and vendors who've become friends, creating a network of trust that I bring to every wedding I plan.
My Experience and Approach
I specialise in intimate wedding celebrations because I've seen firsthand how magical they can be. There's something profound about gathering your absolute favorite people—the ones who've shaped your story, who you can't imagine celebrating without—and creating an experience where every conversation matters and every moment feels significant.
Small weddings, big impact. Whether you're planning for 15 guests or 150, I believe in creating celebrations where every person matters, every detail counts, and you actually get to enjoy your own party. No cookie-cutter timelines, no "that's how it's always done"—just weddings designed around what makes you happy.
I'm not here to sell you the wedding I think you should have. I'm here to listen to what lights you up, understand what matters most, and then make it happen flawlessly. Maybe you want a three-day Italian celebration with wine tastings and sunset aperitivos. Maybe you want 20 people in a UK manor house with exceptional food and zero stress. Maybe you have no idea what you want yet, but you know it needs to feel like you.
Whatever your vision, I bring:
Honest guidance - I'll tell you what's realistic, what's worth splurging on, and when we can get creative with your budget
Genuine care - Your wedding isn't just another booking in my calendar; I'm genuinely invested in your happiness
Insider access - Years of building vendor relationships
Meticulous execution - Every detail matters, and nothing gets overlooked
Turning Dreams Into Cherished Memories
My Promise to You
When you work with me, you're not just hiring a wedding planner—you're gaining a partner who's as invested in your celebration as you are. I'll be honest when something won't work, creative when we need to problem-solve, and calm when you're feeling overwhelmed.
You'll have direct access to me throughout your planning journey. No assistants to go through, no waiting days for email responses, no wondering if the person planning your wedding actually knows who you are.
I'll handle the logistics, manage the vendors, navigate the Italian bureaucracy (if needed), and orchestrate every detail so seamlessly that you'll actually get to be present on your wedding day. Not worried about timing or setup or whether the flowers arrived—just fully, completely present.
Beyond the Planning
What I love most about this work isn't the logistics (though I'm genuinely good at spreadsheets). It's the moments: when a couple sees their venue for the first time and tears up, when a grandmother dances under string lights, when I watch two people who've done all the planning finally get to just celebrate with the people they love most.
I plan weddings for humans, not for Instagram. Sure, your celebration will be absolutely gorgeous (hello, Tuscany or beautiful UK venues), but what I really care about is that you have actual conversations with your guests, that your wedding feels like an authentic expression of your relationship, and that you look back on the day with nothing but joy.
