Julie Palombaro started to organize weddings at the BorgiaCastle, property of her family in 2001 when someone asked her "Can I get married at your Castle?" She thought, why not? The only problem was that the future bride was living on the other side of the world... from then on it was quite clear that living thousand and thousand kilometres away from the wedding location of your dreams wouldn’t have been a problem at all... She started with the weddings for fun then after she graduated at the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Business Communication, she started to dedicate herself only in this activity. She spent her life living between the serene atmosphere which surrounds the BorgiaCastle and the city life of Rome. Today Julie is an accomplished wedding planner well-known in the international panorama.

How the wedding planner must be for Julie and Camilla
A wedding planner must be able to remain calm in the face of adversity. Of course, he or she must be personable and, as mentioned earlier, a good negotiator. We are the mouthpiece for the bride and groom when it comes to ordering flowers, hiring a band and photographer, finding a caterer, etc. A wedding planner must be able to get them the best service for the lowest price. Our reputation will depend on it. Networking is also important. Establishing good connections will help ensure that we get good deals. That's not all. Running our own business, as well as handling someone else's money, requires that the wedding planner adept at handling finances. A wedding planner must also be very well organized. She or he must have a good fashion sense and should know about colours, music, and flowers.
A good knowledge of religions is also imperative, since a wedding ceremony is often a religious one. Related to this, is a knowledge of customs and traditions, which are also part of many wedding ceremonies. Plan to spend a lot of time reading the current bridal magazines, of which there are many, to keep up with the latest trends.
