“Although our wedding planning has been in limbo due to the pandemic, Nicole has been an attentive and an ever-persistent advocate on our behalf! 

She’s been proactive in resetting timelines/expectations with our vendors as news and events have changed as well as kept us moving forward in a productive manner. I can’t thank her enough for being our advocate during these tumultuous headwinds.  Thank you, Nicole!”

— Marcus Jurado (Boston)

My Story


I’ve been lucky enough to call two amazing cities my home — MANHATTAN & FIRENZE.

My parents are both from Italy and always valued raising my sister and I with a bi-cultural understanding.

Growing up, I spent every summer in Italy with my grandmother, who was always at the center of our family, cooking away in the kitchen and hosting the most beautiful parties on our vineyard in Tuscany. 

We’d often have guests over from other countries and it was remarkable to see how special the experience was for them.

La Dolce Vita


Through a child’s eyes, I saw how our international guests instantly felt like they could be a part of a different culture too. And the joy that emanated from them.

This sparked a love inside of my heart, a love so transferable, I knew I had to share this exact feeling with other people.

What I try to recreate for my clients is that thrilling, yet one-of-a-kind, WARM FUZZY FEELING you get only when you immerse your senses into a new world.

 My Passions? 


Family, music, culture, history, gastronomy, and of course above all travel. I believe that there is nothing more magical than the experience of an incredible adventure. 

My favorite movie is The Sound of Music, my favorite TV show is Sex and The City, and my favorite book is Eat, Pray Love.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music, my career began in the hectic New York music industry. I was juggling a corporate job, while also being a wedding singer on the weekends, which is where I fell in love with this romantic world of weddings. After a couple years, I packed my bags and moved to Rome, Italy for a boutique luxury wedding planning company.

My next big adventure

was when I moved to Paris & founded

“Nicole, we had a nickname for you, throughout this process and it was ‘bulldog’ because you just took these vendors and hounded them to get us what we needed and from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for everything that you and your team did.

You were responsible for giving us our dream wedding.”

— Scott White (New York City)

 

 
 
 

Overcoming Barriers

I noticed that more and more clients planning events or weddings also needed help with travel. With all the language barriers and cultural differences, I decided to become that bridge.

Problem-solving & crisis management is more than just one of my skills, it’s part of my DNA.

From the moment you choose to work with me, I take care of every little detail. And get access to our exclusive network of connections, thanks to our international partners.

I approach my work the way a FASHION DESIGNER would custom-design a wedding dress for her top client.

I don’t believe in cookie-cutter experiences and I also don’t believe in travel that isn’t authentic.

I believe in getting to know you, learning and listening to your wants and needs to ensure everything is tailor-fit.

 
 
 

My promise is to design an experience that comes directly from MY HEART to YOURS

XO,

Nicole Bono
