Creating Bespoke Experiences Worldwide since 1987.
History and Mission
Our professional journey began in 1987 and developed for many years under the historic Regency identity. In 1989, we collaborated with the Italian Authorities to help establish the procedures and documentation required for foreign couples to marry legally in Italy. We were also among the first wedding planners to work with the City Hall of Florence (Palazzo Vecchio), helping international couples celebrate legally recognized weddings in Italy. By 1995, Regency had already organized approximately 1,200 weddings. Since 1987, the same professional organization has planned more than 14,000 weddings and events. The experience, relationships and operational knowledge developed during the Regency years continue today through P&J Events, the current brand led by Paolo Nassi and Jinane Kafrouny. Over nearly four decades, our team has built long-standing relationships with venues and carefully selected suppliers throughout Italy while continuing to research distinctive locations for each individual project. Since 2012, this experience has also included the direct management of selected luxury villas and historic properties. Today, P&J Events designs, plans and coordinates bespoke weddings and private events in Italy and internationally. Paolo & Jinane remain personally involved in the creative direction and planning process, developing each celebration around the couple rather than a standardized formula. The historic Regency experience is therefore not a separate current company identity, but the professional legacy from which today's P&J Events evolved. Our team also has long-standing experience in coordinating religious ceremonies with civil validity where Italian law, religious requirements and local regulations allow it. This can make it possible, in appropriate cases, to celebrate a single ceremony that is both religiously meaningful and legally recognized, including in selected private palaces, villas, castles, gardens and hotels.
