In 2002, upon completing 20 years
of dedication and experience in the Hotel Industry, I decided to
face the challenge of starting-up my own business.
My hotel experience commenced
in 1985 with the CIGA Hotels (today owned by Starwood Hotels & Resorts)
at the Hotel Des Bains on Venice Lido. I later moved on to the Hotel
Beau Rivage in Lausanne, a Leading Hotel of the World, followed by
the Hotel Cipriani in Venice and the Hotel Danieli in Venice.
I have covered many facets in
hotel operations, from Front Office to Food & Beverage Events
Coordinator. I later moved into the Sales & Marketing coordinating
the Regional Sales Office of Starwood Hotels in Venice and completed
my experience as Director of Sales & Marketing at the Hotel Bauer
and Il Palazzo in Venice.
In November 2002; at the start
of my freelance career and while attending the World Travel Market,
the idea of ON-VIEW came about. While talking to a friend, General
Manager and Owner of a Tour Operator, I offered my assistance for
weddings of British couples in Venice and in Italy. Shortly after
the first request came; then another and others. The word quickly
spread and I was contacted from USA, Austalia, Canada, England, Germany...
and other countries throughout Europe.
My desire was not to head an agency
that offered just wedding services; but something much more personalized. Celebrating
one’s most special day in a truly romantic city such us Venice, can
only be more memorable with the unique touche and experience of your
local wedding planner.
