Meet Italian Wedding Planner: Angelo Garini
February 6th
The most popular and successful Italian Wedding Planner debuted at Joy Sposi tonight: Angelo Garini charmed a full house made up of aspiring wedding planners eager to hear his stories of planning and staging great events.Garini’s latest civil ceremony in Venice was the backdrop to a comfortable living room talk with the crowd. He patiently streamlined his planning timeline from a creative architect who happened to know the right people to a TV show duo with partner Enzo Miccio. Humble, grateful and generous, Angelo promotes ethics, professionalism, and charity, as an advocate of Children in crisis.
We asked Angelo what that one essential element is in a wedding emergency. He answered, “Calm. You have to keep your cool and make it through the situation without blinking. I’ve had magnificent church decorations crash, ropes catch on fire, candles burn down to the nub and grooms ditching the whole thing at the last minute. All I know is that you have to grin and bear it and it all works out for the best!”
