My Secret Italy

My Secret Italy, founded by Julie, specialises in creating unforgettable wedding experiences for couples and their loved ones. Julie’s journey with the Cilento Coast began in 2000 during a holiday, where she discovered the charming seaside town of Santa Maria di Castellabate. Quickly falling for its beauty, Julie recognised it as the perfect Italian wedding destination. Tucked away as one of Italy's best-kept secrets, the region offers authenticity and affordability, making it a standout choice for weddings.

Julie’s focus is on creating memorable experiences for couples and their guests. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Cilento Coast offers stunning views and rich culture; it has it all, from ancient terraces to stunning Palazzo’s and hill top villages. Santa Maria di Castellabate was even named one of Europe's top 10 coastal towns by The Guardian in 2024.

This year, My Secret Italy celebrates 20 years and over 250 weddings. Based in the UK and relocating to Italy for the summer wedding season, Julie is committed to building lasting relationships with each couple, ensuring their wedding planning journey is seamless and stress-free.

With a relaxed, approachable planning style, Julie makes the entire process enjoyable for everyone involved.

“Julie planned our wedding in June 2023 and we pulled off a masterpiece! Julie is such a special person and truly puts her heart and soul into everything, which is exactly what you want from someone planning the most important day of your life! It takes a lot for me to put my trust in someone as much as I did with Julie, and I think that says it all. What’s more, Julie is now a lifelong friend and Santa Maria di Castellabate is a place we will be visiting for the rest of our lives. Thank you for everything Julie.”
