The concept is the first creative act — an emotional and aesthetic vision. From there, the design takes shape, translating that vision into forms, textures, colors, and atmospheres
We compose weddings as one-of-a-kind creations — where every service, from fragrance to lighting, music to materials, becomes part of a poetic dialogue between the couple, the concept, and the spirit of the venue.

Jinane Kafrouny, who together with Paolo Nassi is the creative force behind P&J Events, has established a long-standing international reputation for her experience in organizing Catholic weddings at the Vatican and destination weddings throughout Italy. Her professional expertise attracted international media attention through an interview with Rome Reports, the international news agency specializing in Vatican affairs. The interview and its subsequent coverage reached audiences well beyond Italy, particularly in Spanish-speaking countries such as Argentina and Spain, and across Latin America, including potential audiences in Chile. More than a decade later, the articles published in 2013 remain accessible online, preserving Jinane's contribution to the international conversation about Catholic weddings at St. Peter's Basilica.
The international attention surrounding Jinane Kafrouny began with a Rome Reports television interview dedicated to Catholic marriage ceremonies at the Vatican. In the report, Jinane explained the preparation involved in organizing a Catholic wedding at St. Peter's Basilica, particularly for international couples travelling to Rome. She discussed the religious documentation, advance arrangements and coordination necessary to prepare for a ceremony in such an exceptional setting. Her contribution was not merely theoretical. It reflected years of direct professional involvement in the organization of Catholic and international destination weddings in Italy. In April 2013, her comments were quoted by major Spanish-language publications, bringing her professional experience to readers in Argentina, Spain and beyond. The reporting was also circulated by religious news publications, making it a useful historical reference for Catholic couples interested in the possibility of marrying at the Vatican. These articles and the associated video remain part of the online historical record of Jinane's professional work.

At the time of the international coverage in 2013, Jinane Kafrouny and Paolo Nassi had already been professional partners for several years within Regency 1987 and WeddingsItaly.com. Regency's professional history began in 1987, developing an international activity dedicated to organizing weddings and celebrations for couples travelling from abroad to Italy. Through WeddingsItaly.com, the organization became involved in planning weddings in some of Italy's most extraordinary locations, from Florence and Tuscany to Rome, Venice, the Amalfi Coast and many other destinations. Among its areas of expertise was the organization of Catholic religious weddings, including ceremonies in Rome and Vatican City. Jinane and Paolo combined their knowledge of Italian institutions, religious requirements, international client expectations and event coordination to develop a highly personalized approach to destination weddings. Their partnership brought together international experience, creativity, attention to cultural differences and a deep understanding of the practical arrangements involved in organizing weddings far from a couple's home country. By the time Jinane was interviewed about Catholic weddings at the Vatican, this expertise had already been developed through many years of professional activity.
The professional history of Regency continues today through the evolution of its brands and activities. Building on the experience developed since 1987, Paolo Nassi and Jinane Kafrouny introduced and expanded P&J Events, a distinctive creative identity dedicated to the high-end and luxury segment of the international wedding and event industry. Today, P&J Events represents the most exclusive expression of their work, creating bespoke weddings, private celebrations and luxury events in Italy and internationally. While Regency and WeddingsItaly.com remain important parts of the organization's history and professional identity, P&J Events focuses on highly personalized experiences, sophisticated design, creative direction and the production of exceptional celebrations. Paolo Nassi and Jinane Kafrouny remain personally involved in the creative vision and direction of P&J Events, bringing together nearly four decades of Regency's professional heritage and their own long-standing creative partnership.
Jinane's professional connection with Catholic weddings in Vatican City is not limited to the historical interview. In July 2025, American actor Josh Lucas and television journalist Brianna Ruffalo celebrated their Catholic wedding at the Vatican. The wedding provided a contemporary example of the experience developed by Paolo Nassi, Jinane Kafrouny and their team. The published professional credits identified: Wedding Design & Art Direction: Paolo Nassi and Jinane Kafrouny. Planning & Coordination: a collaborative team including Paolo Nassi and Jinane Kafrouny. The celebration demonstrated the continuity between the expertise that attracted international attention in 2013 and the contemporary work of P&J Events in the luxury wedding market.

The historical Rome Reports interview and its publication across international media document an important stage in Jinane Kafrouny's career. They show that her knowledge of Catholic weddings at the Vatican was already considered relevant to an international audience in 2013. Today, her experience continues through P&J Events, the luxury wedding and event brand she leads together with Paolo Nassi. From Catholic wedding ceremonies in Vatican City to sophisticated private celebrations across Italy and abroad, their work reflects the continuity of a professional journey developed through Regency 1987, WeddingsItaly.com and today's P&J Events. What began as international recognition of practical expertise has become part of a much broader professional story: one that connects decades of experience, international media visibility and the contemporary world of luxury weddings and events.
