Helping couples create the ideal wedding for them is the enthusiastic and joyful wedding planner, Wayne Gurnick of Moments by Wayne. His role as ambassador for Tuscany for Weddings sees him share his passion with couples in the United States for the fairytale-like wedding locations and charming gems to be found all over the region.
From his base in Los Angeles, Wayne promotes Tuscany as a destination wedding venue, guiding couples in their planning from start to finish. But beyond his own key role in crafting the perfect day, Wayne is keen to share his admiration for the team he finds in Tuscany.
“Tuscany is such an incredible region. My wife and I have travelled extensively throughout Tuscany. Then I had the opportunity to experience Florence and Tuscany professionally and I found that everything I loved on a personal level was available there on a professional level also. You have the beauty of the region along with the wealth of so many different opportunities for ways to make a wedding – or any type of celebration – so personal. People are drawn to everything that the region has to offer, from the in- credible food to the amazing people, who are just like most of us in the wedding industry: we’re pleasers. I’ve made so many friends over the years and the team has constantly impressed me by how caring and talented they are. I’ve also had opportunities to talk to others about what it is that makes Tuscany so special and I’ve only heard people tell me the incredible, wonderful experiences that they’ve had while being in Tuscany.”
Wayne was selected as a guest speaker for the Destination Wedding Planner Congress in 2016, an occasion that brings together top professionals from all over the world to share their expertise.
“On a business level, I’m very particular about where I put my name, not for any other reason than that I set really high standards for myself. I want to make sure that the people I work with are able to produce both the products and services that the client wants and I know that most people in our industry are looking for people to be very pleased with the work that we do. When I was contacted about the congress, I was very impressed with the work that they do to promote not only their organization that brings members of the wedding organization together, but also by how they do it. They’ve done amazing things for all sectors, both public and within the industry, to promote the region and to bring together the best resources that are available, whether it’s an incredible location such as a Relais & Châteaux, a historic private property, a large city hotel or a small boutique hotel; they really have everything that a couple could imagine.”
