About Claudia and Co.

At Claudia and Co., we design refined weddings across Toronto, Italy, and Portugal for couples who value beauty, connection, and unforgettable guest experiences.

But beyond aesthetics, we believe your wedding should feel like you.

The energy.
The atmosphere.
The people gathered around the table.

The moments you’ll still talk about decades from now.
We’re more than planners. We are collaborators, designers, advocates, problem-solvers, and calm, steady presence throughout one of the most meaningful seasons of your life.

For over a decade, we’ve designed bespoke luxury weddings that blend intentional design with seamless execution, allowing our couples to feel fully present from the first conversation to the final dance.
Whether you’re envisioning an elegant wedding weekend in Italy or a villa celebration overlooking the coast of Portugal, our team curates experiences that feel effortless, emotional, and deeply personal.
We specialize in destination weddings that honour the beauty of the location, while reflecting your story in every detail.
