Wedding planning in the Dolomites with SI Events

A wedding in the mountains has many moving parts: huts, roads, weather, suppliers in three languages. I often work with SI Events, and on their days you can feel that someone is keeping track of everything.

Who is behind SI Events

SI Events is Silvia and Sophia, two friends who share a deep passion for the mountains and nature. They met at work and quickly noticed how well they complement each other: Silvia brings creativity, optimism and ambition, Sophia organisation, courage and calm. Together they have made it their mission to make wedding dreams come true in the landscape of the Dolomites.

What SI Events takes care of

You decide how much you want to do yourselves. SI Events offers full planning, where they handle every detail, or partial planning, where you are more involved. On request they take care of:

  • finding and choosing the venue
  • catering and menu
  • the ceremony and the paperwork
  • budget planning
  • flowers and styling
  • photography and video
  • advice on wedding attire, hair and make-up
  • music
  • stationery and design
  • accommodation for you and your guests
  • wedding car and transport
  • wedding cake

They plan elopements, church, civil and symbolic weddings as well as vow renewals. The SI Events website is available in English, German and Italian.

How they work

  • Details: for Silvia and Sophia the small things make the difference, from the linen on the table to the moment the candles are lit.
  • Local partners: they work with local suppliers they know personally and favour seasonal produce and eco-friendly solutions.
  • Off the beaten track: they like to show you the lesser-known, more authentic corners of the Dolomites.
  • Plan B: they prepare for the unexpected and coordinate closely with every supplier, so the day stays calm.

An example: the proposal at Baita Marie

For a proposal on the Alpe di Siusi, Silvia and Sophia set a table on the meadow outside Baita Marie with roses, candles and linen, and coordinated the hut, the kitchen and the timing. The couple did not have to think about anything that evening, and I could focus entirely on the photos. What such an evening looks like is in the guide A private dinner at Baita Marie.

More than weddings

SI Events also organises anniversaries, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, private celebrations, gala dinners and corporate events in the Dolomites.

When to get in touch

SI Events recommends booking their planning 6 to 12 months ahead, especially for high season. Short-notice requests are still considered. The first step is a conversation in which you share your ideas and agree on the next steps together. You can reach them through their website, by email, phone or WhatsApp: sievents.it.

Their services can be combined flexibly to suit your wishes and your budget. What you need legally to marry in Italy is in the guide Getting married in South Tyrol.

Why I like working with wedding planners

When someone keeps an eye on the timeline, suppliers and weather, I can focus entirely on you. I know when to be where, and on the day itself you do not have to answer any questions. With SI Events this works especially well, because we think about places and timing in the Dolomites in a similar way.
