Because this is more than a wedding. It’s your legacy in motion.

You’re not looking for just a planner. You’re looking for someone who gets it—who sees the importance of every glance, every sigh of relief, every small moment that turns into a lasting memory.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Mari, founder of Mart Mari Bridal House, and this work is deeply personal to me.

Before planning weddings in Italy’s countryside, on the cliffs of Spain, along the coast of France, or under the olive trees of Greece—I was living them in my own way.

The Heart Behind Your Celebration

Creating beautiful moments in beautiful places

Plan Your Wedding With Mari →

I began as a flight attendant, learning to anticipate needs before they were spoken. I’ve served five-star dinners under starry skies aboard private yachts, and led teams at a boutique Relais & Châteaux hotel in South Africa where we hosted intimate celebrations that stayed with our guests long after the last glass of champagne.

These experiences taught me that connection matters most. And that’s exactly what I bring to your destination wedding.

My couples often tell me they feel seen with me. That I made the experience feel grounded. That’s because I approach planning with presence. With curiosity. With intention. I care not just about how the day looks—but how it feels for you and your family.

And when we work together, it’s not just logistics and timelines. It’s a shared story we build from the moment we meet. I help you bring your vision to life—yes. But I also help you hold space for what matters most.
