Start wherever you are

You do not need a perfect plan to begin.

Start with the question that is keeping you open.

You do not need to have every answer yet. Bring us the destination, venue or feeling you are considering. We help you avoid months of scattered research and make the next decision with confidence.

Not sure which question comes first?

That is exactly what the first conversation is for. Tell us what you are considering and we will help you find the most useful place to begin.

The Venue Edit · one service, three entry points

One venue service, shaped around where you are.

Finding a beautiful venue is easy.

Finding one that actually works for your guest count, budget, destination, season, aesthetic and wedding experience is considerably harder.

Atelier Romance researches beyond the obvious choices and turns a wide field of possibilities into a focused, considered shortlist.

The same advisory service can begin with options, a venue you already have in mind or a more complex brief.

Why Atelier Romance

A celebration should feel like it belongs to you.

Atelier Romance is an independent destination wedding advisory founded by Fah Karimi.

From Portugal, Fah brings an editorial eye to the decisions beneath the beauty: the place, the pace, the people and the details guests remember.

Together, we shape the feeling before the venue, budget or local team is fixed.

Fah Karimi · Founder & Creative Director

Fah sees a wedding as a story held by a place. She looks for the light, the rhythm, the welcome and the quiet details that make a celebration feel effortless rather than assembled.

Her visual language was formed through fashion, styling and photography, with features in:

PUMP Fashion Magazine · Rebel Magazine · Selin

She speaks English, German, Arabic, Farsi and Portuguese, and communicates in Hungarian. That cultural fluency helps couples, families, venues and local teams hold different traditions with clarity, warmth and respect.

Atelier Romance offers the strategy and creative direction. Trusted local planners and specialists carry the celebration into the real world.

Independent advice. Creative direction. Local execution.

Transparency, with care.
Where Atelier Romance has an established commercial relationship with a venue or supplier, this is disclosed appropriately.

How the advisory works

A clear path from first decision to local delivery.

We connect the decisions, people and places that shape the celebration.

One strategic lead. One trusted local delivery team.

Atelier Romance leads your destination strategy, creative direction and guest experience. By making the important decisions once, before local planning begins, we help reduce duplicated research, avoid costly surprises and keep everyone working from the same direction.

01 · Discover

Understand the vision

An introductory conversation to understand your vision, the European country you have in mind — Portugal, Spain, Italy or Hungary — your guest experience and the kind of celebration you want to create.

02 · Strategise

Establish the direction

A focused working session to establish destination and venue feasibility, budget, design direction, supplier needs and the guest experience.

03 · Connect

Choose the right local model

We help identify the right local planner, production team or venue coordinator, then connect them to the strategic foundation. They are contracted directly by you.

04 · Direct

Keep the decisions clear

We compare proposals, clarify responsibilities and keep the couple, venue and local team aligned. Supplier contracts and payments remain directly between you and each supplier.

05 · Deliver locally

Carry the vision into place

Your selected local professionals lead the physical installation, supplier management and wedding-day operation. Atelier Romance remains the strategic and creative thread within the agreed scope.

Already have a venue in mind — or somewhere else in mind?

Tell us the feeling, not only the venue.

We do not work from a closed venue list. Bring us a property you have found, a place someone recommended, or simply the atmosphere you want. We can investigate whether it fits your guest count, cultural requirements, accommodation, celebration format, access, restrictions and budget direction before you sign.

Review a Venue Before Signing

The introductory conversation is complimentary. Venue research and due diligence are paid advisory services: Essentials €595; Decision Review from €850; Advisory from €1,500, plus VAT where applicable.

Investment & advisory scope

Pay for the right decisions before you pay for everything else.

Our advisory work is designed to save you time, protect your energy and reduce expensive wrong turns before local planning begins.

You receive independent judgement, a clearer direction and a scope you can understand before committing to venues, suppliers or a local planning team.

Complimentary

Introductory conversation

A private 15-minute conversation about your vision, destination, guest experience, timing and the decisions you want to make with more confidence.

Tailored to you

Your advisory proposal

Every celebration is different. Following the introduction, we recommend the most appropriate advisory scope according to destination, guest count, complexity, research required and level of involvement.

How investment works

The scope is agreed after the introduction.

Published figures are starting points, not a forced package menu. We first understand the destination, guest experience and decisions you need to make, then confirm the deliverables and fee in writing.

What shapes the proposal
  • Destination and guest count
  • Number of event days and venue complexity
  • Level of research and contractual complexity
  • Travel requirements and advisory involvement
Large destination wedding reception arranged on a terrace overlooking Rome
When the brief is more complex

Complex celebrations are scoped privately.

Bespoke strategic advisory from €8,500, plus VAT where applicable.

For larger guest counts, multiple event days, cultural ceremonies, specialist suppliers or demanding destinations, we create a bespoke advisory scope covering the key strategic decisions before wedding-week planning begins.

All published figures are starting advisory investments, not quotes. A fixed proposal is agreed in writing before any work begins.

The model

Not another wedding planner. A strategic beginning.

Your wedding begins with the right destination, setting, financial framework and people. We curate destinations and venues, assess proposals and contracts, structure budgets and create a clear roadmap before local planning begins.

A considered investment

Every celebration has its own architecture.

A private villa in Tuscany, an estate in Sintra and a multi-day celebration on Lake Como require different levels of research. Bespoke proposals reflect the individual scope.

  • Destination and guest count
  • Number of event days and venue complexity
  • Level of research and contractual complexity
  • Travel requirements and advisory involvement
Already have a wedding planner?

Wonderful. Atelier Romance can still be part of your beginning.

Independent perspective before local planning begins.

Our advisory work can sit alongside your planning team, helping you make confident decisions around destination, venue, contracts, budget and creative direction before committing to the local execution of the celebration.

Privacy & data

Your information stays purposeful

we collect only what helps us respond to your enquiry

For enquiries

What Atelier Romance receives

When you enquire, we may receive your names, email address, proposed date, nationalities, destination, service interest, budget range and anything you choose to write in the notes.

We use this information only to respond to your enquiry, prepare the complimentary introduction and, if you request it, discuss a suitable planning scope.

Enquiry data is processed to respond to your request and take steps at your request before any contract.

We do not use enquiry details for marketing unless you give separate permission. We do not ask for passport numbers, identity documents, payment details or sensitive personal information through this form.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you

You may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection where applicable, and you may withdraw an enquiry acknowledgement without affecting processing already carried out lawfully. Use the enquiry form to send a privacy request.

Atelier Romance is based in Portugal. This notice describes our current handling and should be reviewed against the business's final legal identity, processor terms and operational arrangements before live sending. You may also contact the Portuguese data-protection authority, CNPD.

The part nobody warns you about

Four countries, four different dossiers

the paperwork, not the venue, determines whether your date holds

The pattern is consistent: foreign documents may require apostilles and certified translations before the local registry will consider them. What differs, country to country, is the process, timing and whether two non-residents may marry there at all. We help you prepare the right questions; the relevant registry or consulate confirms the current position.

Portugal

The most accommodating

No residency requirement: two foreign nationals may marry here. The dossier goes to the Conservatória do Registo Civil in the district of the ceremony, and a registrar may travel to an approved venue by arrangement. Expect apostilled birth certificates, proof of marital status and certified Portuguese translations. Approval precedes genuine confirmation of your date, which is why invitations should wait for it.

Spain

Usually the symbolic route

Civil marriage between two non-resident foreigners is the most demanding of the four, and practice varies considerably by autonomous community. Most couples we advise marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony in Spain, which removes the obstacle entirely and costs nothing in atmosphere. Should you want the legal ceremony here, the decision must be taken very early.

Italy

The comune decides

Foreign nationals may marry civilly, though the dossier runs through the individual comune and through your own consulate or embassy for the nulla osta — a declaration that nothing impedes the marriage. Requirements, fees and lead times differ from town to town, not merely region to region. The comune has the final word, and it is worth confirming in writing with that particular office.

Hungary

Straightforward, but count the wait

Among the more workable EU routes for two foreign nationals. Documents are apostilled and translated into Hungarian, then notice is given at the local registry, after which a statutory waiting period applies before the ceremony. Short enough to accommodate, long enough to unsettle a date left uncounted. Build it into the timeline from the outset.

British couples

A Certificate of No Impediment, apostilled by the FCDO and translated into the local language, alongside passports and full birth certificates. The route is unchanged since Brexit; the lead times are less forgiving.

American couples

Typically an affidavit of eligibility to marry, sworn at the US Embassy or Consulate in the country concerned, plus the same civil documents apostilled at state level.

Same-sex couples

Portugal and Spain have had full marriage equality since 2010 and 2005. Italy recognises civil unions rather than marriage. Hungary recognises registered partnership, not marriage. This is the single most important thing to establish before choosing a country.

Two nationalities

The same process, two document trails to legalise in parallel. Begin earlier: this is where six weeks quietly becomes twelve, and where most missed dates originate.

One caveat, and it matters.
The above is general orientation, not legal advice, and reflects the position as we understand it in 2026. Requirements change, and they vary by nationality, by consulate and — in Italy particularly — by individual town hall. The local registry has the final word in every case. Before you book a single flight, we help you prepare a document checklist and questions for the specific office handling your two nationalities and chosen country. The relevant authority must confirm the current requirements.

Cultural & multi-day celebrations

Some weddings are more than one day — and more than one tradition.

A specialty for celebrations where family, culture, hospitality and place need to work together.

Atelier Romance works with couples planning Indian, Persian, Arab, South Asian and multicultural celebrations across Europe, where ceremonies, accommodation, food, guest experience and multiple events need to become one destination experience.

Held with cultural understanding

Not a single day
Mehndi, sangeet, haldi, the ceremony, the reception — three to five days in practice. That requires multi-day exclusive access written into the contract, rather than a Saturday hire with goodwill attached.
Fire
The agni is central to a Hindu ceremony, and many European venues cannot permit open flame indoors — sometimes for insurance reasons, sometimes by law. Worth establishing while the shortlist is still open.
The mandap
Build and strike time, ceiling height, floor loading, and whether an external structure is permitted at all. Historic buildings are where this most often falls quietly short.
Catering
Vegetarian, Jain, halal or no-onion-no-garlic at scale is rarely within a local kitchen's range. Specialist caterers operate across Europe, though the venue must permit an external kitchen, and many charge substantially for the permission.
The baraat
A procession, on occasion a horse, invariably noise. It requires a route, the venue's written agreement, and neighbours informed in advance.
Numbers
Two to five hundred guests is ordinary, and worth testing against genuine capacity early. A good many estates photograph beautifully at eighty and cannot comfortably seat three hundred.
Legally
Across most of Europe the religious ceremony is not the legal marriage. Couples marry civilly as a separate act — entirely ordinary, provided it was in the plan from the beginning.

Explore The Blueprint
Within the agreed advisory scope

Local connections, then a clear handover.

We help build the right local team without turning it into a fourth service.

Atelier Romance can help shape the local team around your destination, celebration format and cultural requirements. This is not a closed supplier list or a bundled production fee: the final choice remains yours.

Potential connections

  • An independent local planner or production lead
  • Photographer and film team
  • Florist, stylist, rentals and stationery
  • Tailor, attire and beauty specialists
  • Caterer, entertainment, transport and guest logistics
  • Cultural or ceremonial specialists
Possible addition within a bespoke scope

Venue scouting, when the brief calls for it.

A site visit can extend the advisory work when photographs are not enough.

Photographs and brochures only tell part of the story. We can visit shortlisted properties on your behalf, documenting the spaces, assessing the celebration flow and identifying opportunities, limitations and red flags before you commit.

Our assessment may include

  • Architecture, atmosphere and overall setting
  • Ceremony, reception, capacity and event flow
  • Accommodation, guest experience and access
  • Catering, external suppliers and cultural requirements
  • Weather, entertainment, noise and logistics
  • Restrictions, additional costs and operational concerns

You receive photographic and video documentation, professional observations and a written assessment to inform the wider planning and design process.

Send this to your guest list

The guest experience is part of the plan

arrival, comfort and hospitality are considered before the invitation goes out

  • Arrive a day early. A single delayed connection should not cost anyone the ceremony.
  • Dinner begins late and runs later. A long cocktail hour, dinner at sunset, dancing well past midnight.
  • Heels and cobblestones do not mix. Old-town paving across southern Europe is beautiful and unforgiving. Block heels.
  • Cards are accepted almost everywhere. Rural taxis are the exception; small notes help.
  • Expect the local sparkling rather than champagne — espumante, cava, prosecco or pezsgő, depending where you land. Almost always better than the price suggests.
