Not only our wedding planner, but a really good friend! Working Zaira and her team was a real pleasure! From the moment we met and interviewed Zaira we knew immediately that we had found a friend in the process. Working with Zaira was so easy and painless! Having been located in another country, and also never seeing Lake Como, we relied heavily on the embedded trust of the relationship and her guidance throughout. It even got to the point where we looked forward to our many catch up calls (sorry, Zaira, we love you!) leading up to the event because they were always efficient, easy, and would move the ball forward. Plus, we simply enjoyed her friendly personality and basically catching up with what became a friend through the process! All said, the wedding came out exactly how we wanted and Zaira fought for us at every step. From vendors to pushing us (respectfully) on ideas to actually bringing all our wishes to life on wedding day. Zaira went above and beyond at each step. We were so happy with the outcome and will hold onto these memories forever more!

Zaira was incredible! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure to give it to me! She was very reasonably priced and took care of all of the details. Our experience was perfect and Zaira is certainly to thank!

Zaira did a phenomenal job! Her experience and connections with vendors and venues were incredibly valuable. When planning a wedding in a foreign country trust is so important and you can put your faith in Zaira to make all the right decisions. Our wedding and rehearsal went off without a hitch!! You would be lucky to have someone as talented as Zaira planning your wedding. She toured venues and showed us everything over the phone, we booked everything without even seeing it and it was all amazing. Her staff is great as well we cannot recommend her enough. We hope to stay in touch with her for years to come - we miss her already! Gracie Mille Zaira!!

Perfect celebration three years in the making! We are from the United States and found Zaira online. After our first meeting with her, we knew she was the right planner for us. She was friendly, approachable, and a problem solver. She knew exactly what venue we should book based on our vision, made vendor shopping super easy, and was helpful at every step of the process. When we had to push our date twice because of Covid, Zaira was invaluable. She communicated with all of our Italian vendors and the venue to make it happen, while at the same time providing comfort and insight into a difficult and unprecedented situation. By the end of our three years of working with Zaira, she was more than our planner. She was our great friend and support system. The wedding was a dream come true for us. It was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t have done it without Zaira! We can’t say enough good things about Zaira and highly recommend her for any couple looking to get married in Lake Como!

Ilaria was absolutely a joy to work with. The wedding day could not have been more perfect. Everything was seamless. Ilaria was able to secure a venue that has been booked up for months/ years. It was a dream come true for our daughter. Many thanks to you and your team for making this wedding day so special!!

My experience with Zaira was flawless. Every detail was met with perfection and the entire process was stress-free. I had many questions and Zaira always answered immediately. Above all she is very professional and sweet... I highly recommend Zaira, you won't regret it.

My fiancé and I booked Zaira as a day of coordinator for a small wedding in Lake Como, Italy during the summer of 2020. We had planned to have a guest list of only 30, so we didn’t require full planning services, but rather someone to help run the day for us. Zaira was prompt in her responses to us and was able to meet virtually before booking to answer all our questions. And believe me we had a lot of questions about planning a wedding abroad! Zaira was incredibly helpful and informative, even walking by the venue we’d booked as it was close to her home. Zaira was organized, personable, and her familiarity with the area was invaluable! When the pandemic hit, Zaira continued to remain responsive to us and flexible with moving our wedding though we eventually canceled. Since Zaira was hired as a day-of coordinator she graciously refunded our deposit, when almost none of our vendors would. I would highly recommend working with Zaira for you next event, and would absolutely work with her again when it’s safe for us to travel internationally again!

Molly,

Zaira and Beatrice took away all the stress of planning a wedding overseas, especially when you are unable to visit prior to the wedding. When they say they specialize in Lake Como they truly mean it as they live there and know every vendor and every venue including the people. So we were able to rely on them for everything. Our friends said it was the best wedding they ever attended. We would highly recommend I Do In Lake Como. We interviewed multiple planners and they are clearly the best. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

We were very fortunate to have Zaira referred to us by a colleague who had her elopement in Lake Como. Prior to this referral, I was growing increasingly anxious about finding someone trustworthy and dependable to organise a wedding in Lake Como (as we resided in Australia and did not speak Italian). Due to COVID restrictions in Australia in 2021, the wedding date had to be postponed for one year, however Zaira negotiated with all service providers and successfully arranged our wedding in June 2022. We feel so fortunate to have had the wedding of our dreams at the breathtakingly beautiful (yes, more beautiful than the photos) Villa del Balbianello. Zaira organised every detail from venue, music, aperitif, flowers, hair/makeup, Reverend from the Anglican Church, the best table at La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi for our guests at the post ceremony dinner, boat transport and photographer. She even helped us secure the most amazing room at Grand Hotel Tremezzo that had a view of Balbianello, a beautiful addition that we will always remember. Zaira was present for the entire day of the wedding, organising everything to ensure all ran smoothly; we did not need to stress or fuss – and as a bride, this was invaluable. As a result, I had the time of my life on my wedding day enjoying each moment rather than being stressed. We cannot recommend Zaira highly enough due to the following: • Honest open communication with upfront advice about providers’ fees, taxes and service charges (which was appreciated as they differed to Australian customs); • Quick turnaround for enquiries and varied options to suit budget and personal preferences – nothing was too much hassle; • All stress and hassle relating to contracts and pricing taken care of – all service providers were professional and come very highly recommended (we were extremely happy and satisfied with all providers – a special note to brides that my hair, makeup and flowers were exactly what I wanted despite being organised remotely); • All financial transfers were effected without issue or complication; • Warm, friendly, and personable nature of Zaira and her team, that made us feel very confident knowing we were in good hands. Zaira’s love for organising weddings clearly shows in her professionalism and kind caring nature. She truly is an amazing woman who truly can make your ultimate wedding day a reality.
