Loved Luxury. Handcrafted ExperienceS. Unparalleled Service.

work with me

Whether you’ve got creative partners in mind or need me to help you handpick them to bring your vision to life, your wedding - your way is always my top priority.

Hiring anyone to make our dreams a reality can be scary business - I get it - but it doesn’t have to be. My couples are the heartbeat of their celebrations. We talk often and ongoing to make sure every detail is attended to, every question is answered, and every vision comes to life. 

“Any excuse to plan a celebration” became my unofficial motto and I embraced it wholeheartedly.

To me, events aren't just about logistics or décor; they're about forging meaningful connections - with the couple at the heart of the event and with the talented partners who help put the ‘celebrate’ in celebration.

PASSION FOR ME HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT crafting bespoke celebrations... especially for discerning couples obsessively in love.

MEET DIANNA SAVELLI

I’ve been wedding-obsessed since before I could tie my shoes - ever since the day I attended my very first bridal shower and helped with setting up. To this day, my aunts still love to tell the story of how meticulously I set out each tray on the sweet table and every favour on the place settings. That was the day my true passion was born!

“Any excuse to plan a celebration” 

My unofficial motto

xo, Dianna

This is why I co-create celebrations of love… with you. 

Amavi…I loved.

I believe in loved luxury - whatever luxury means to you. The art of surrounding yourself with the people, places and things you adore most when you say ‘I do.’ The brilliance of celebrating however you imagine. Whatever you want is what I want to support you in creating. I love ‘yes’ over ‘no.’ And, ‘let’s figure it out,” is my go-to answer.

But, I was a planner who wanted to know every aspect of celebrations - from food to fashion, décor to design. I even single-handedly transformed a failing castle venue into a thriving and desired wedding location that is consistently booked years in advance. I learned the many facets of my own craft by working closely with and for the co-collaborators you’ll hire to realize your wedding vision. The more I knew about each creative partner, the better to support my couples in having confidence in hiring the very best creative teams. 

I've always been a planner...

Loved luxury is in the intimate details and joyful moments we create together that make your celebration extraordinarily lovely and spectacularly you.

It takes time, attention, and most of all, love to plan every magical detail that brings a celebration to life. That’s why I only work with a limited number of couples each year - so you (and your wedding) receive every bit of time, love, and attention you deserve.

Scroll through some fun facts you might not have known  about me!

TO KNOW ME IS TO KNOW…

... Hot tea is my go-to planning (well, let’s be real - my go-to anytime) beverage. You’ll almost never see me without a cup in my hand while dreaming and designing with my couples! I’d go to the ends of the earth for a good ol’ cup of Red Rose with cream and honey - I know it’s pretty darn basic, but I love that it reminds me of my grandparents, who had the greatest love story I’ve ever known. It’s my daily dose of inspiration!

TO KNOW ME IS TO KNOW…

…I don’t believe in ‘styled shoots’ (unless we’re in lockdown with nothing better to do). I’d much rather focus my time, efforts, and creative ideas on real couples, real weddings and real celebrations. The only ‘fantasy’ I plan to create is the dream day you’ve been fantasizing about since you were five (or twenty-five)!
