A Sicilian living in Amsterdam, bringing your vision to life on the island I call home.
Tell me about your wedding
Ciao, I’m Giulia.
Born and raised in Sicily, I have lived in Amsterdam for nine years and married a Dutchman. I have always loved planning: organisation, timing and the smallest details are what I do best. In June 2026 we got married in Sicily: I planned it from Amsterdam, with the help of a wonderful Sicilian wedding planner, and I loved every minute of it.
I know both worlds: what couples from the Netherlands expect, and how things really work on the island. Palmyra is the bridge between the two, so nothing gets lost in between. We will work in English, my Italian is native, my French and Spanish just need a little dusting off, and my Dutch is a work in progress. My husband is very patient.
Two cultures, one wedding.
Planning our wedding in Sicily from Amsterdam, I saw through my husband’s eyes how much it can ask of couples from abroad.
Two cultures
Different expectations about timing, communication and how a wedding day flows.
Trust
Real connections with local professionals, and knowing what a fair price really is.
The language
Calls, messages and contracts all in Italian, where details easily get lost.
The distance
Choosing venues and vendors you have mostly seen in photos, from far away.
That is why Palmyra exists: to be the bridge between two worlds, so you can enjoy every step of the way.
More than one planner: a team on both sides.
Me, in the Netherlands
Your one point of contact from the first call to the last dance: planning, design, vendors, contracts and translation.
Established Sicilian wedding planners
I work with experienced local planners based in Catania, who bring their knowledge of the territory, site visits and trusted vendors.
Together on the day
I am there with the team on your wedding day, coordinating every moment so you can simply be present.
From the first call to the last dance.
Free first call
We get to know each other: your story, your vision, your guests and your budget. No cost, no commitment.
Your written proposal
A written proposal from me, made for you: what is included, what is not, no hidden costs.
Planning
Venue, vendors, design and timeline, with regular updates along the way.
The day
Full coordination on site, together with my team in Sicily.
Full planning, carefully done.
Every wedding is different, so every proposal is made to measure. This is what full planning includes.
A wedding planner does so much more. What is included, what is not and what is possible, we discuss together in your proposal.
Where Palmyra began.
Before Palmyra, there was our own wedding: planned from Amsterdam, celebrated at Villa Criscione in Ragusa, with the best people by our side.
