Meet Cindy
I was born and raised in Mexico with a passion for travel and exploring different cultures and have had a fascination for planning weddings since before I started designing them in 2001. I developed my organizational and planning skills while working for 3M after graduating with a degree in International Business. When I moved to irresistible Italy, I just knew with this country as my setting, I had to be a Wedding Planner again and opened “Cindy Salgado Wedding Designs & Events” in Tuscany.
I’m fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, Pasta, Pizza and Wine, and can communicate easily and clearly with couples and vendors to ensure the wedding planning is a worry-free process.
It can be intimidating having a wedding in a different country, with the many barriers and particularities, but I handle all the technicalities to ensure my clients only arrive at their wedding to have a blast and make unforgettable memories!
My Italian love story
People ask me, “how did you end up in Italy?” It’s a story of an Italian romance, tragic goodbyes, and a fairy-tale happy ending.
I decided to take a break before starting college to travel to Florence, Italy. It seemed like such a romantic and fashionable city, where I was sure everyone would speak English. It turned out no one spoke very much English but used a lot of hand gestures. Every time someone said, “Ciao,” I wasn’t sure if they were saying hello or goodbye and I also learned that no one eats spaghetti and meatballs!
One night we went to a bar called “Le Murate” and I met a cute Italian man who knew only two sentences in English. I didn’t know any Italian, but fortunately, Spanish is similar enough and we were able to communicate.
