My name is Valeria Michela and I love life!
I officiate lay weddings, symbolic weddings, civil rites. But also naming ceremonies, funerals, memorials and other ceremonies for the important moments in your lives.
Each time my aim is to bring wishes into life by giving voice to your feelings through an exclusive and meaningful ceremony.
As a lay celebrant, I tiptoe into your lives with an open mind and listen with empathically to your stories, your life histories, your plans, your dreams and much more. My objective is to transform all of this into words, gestures, music and emotion - in other words, into a unique ceremony whether it is a moment of joy or sorrow, designed just for you.
In addition to my long experience in training, international adoptions and public relations, an innate curiosity and a penchant for problem solving, help me in my profession as a celebrant.
My life has unfolded in Milan, the city where I was born, Rome and the United States, and then settling in Puglia, my family's homeland. But I have not lost the desire to travel. In fact, I often travel around Italy and abroad, both for work and pleasure.
My experiences, professional and personal, which I have matured in even distant places, have provided me with the right tools to connect with people from all over the world.
I officiate in Italian, English, French and Spanish, and use reliable assistants for other languages if needed.
