Behind the Magic,
Crafting Moments, Creating Memories...
​
Since 2005, Kelly Hayes Wedding Design has grown into a vibrant, tight-knit team that feels more like a family than a company. We’re a group of creatives, organisers, problem-solvers, and magic-makers who genuinely love what we do — and who love doing it together.
​
Every wedding we plan is a team effort. From the first idea to the final sparkler moment, we work in sync, supporting each other and supporting you. Our bond behind the scenes creates the smooth, joyful, relaxed atmosphere you feel on the day. We bring different strengths and personalities to the table, but we share one core belief: your wedding should feel like the most natural, beautiful expression of your story.
​
We get to know our couples like friends, cheering you on, calming nerves, fixing last-minute hiccups, and celebrating right beside you. We take care of the details you see, the details you don’t, and the details that suddenly pop up when no one expects them.
Our team is hands-on, heart-led, and fully present at every celebration, making sure your day feels effortless, meaningful, and unforgettable. Together, we create weddings that are beautifully designed, meticulously managed, and overflowing with joy.
Meet the Woman Behind the Magic...
Kelly Hayes
Originally from Ireland, I’ve called Italy home for almost 30 years, long enough for its beauty, culture, and people to weave themselves deeply into who I am. This country isn’t just where I live; it’s where I raised my family, built my business, and found my purpose. It’s where I’ve shared countless glasses of prosecco with excited couples, cried happy tears during vows, and witnessed love stories unfold against some of the most breathtaking backdrops in the world.
​
When I launched Kelly Hayes Wedding Design in 2005, I didn’t have a big plan or a perfectly polished brand. What I did have was passion, curiosity, and a wild belief that weddings should be personal, heartfelt, and thoughtfully designed. I trusted that if I poured my heart into this work, the rest would follow, and it did.
​
Even now, with an incredible team supporting me, I stay closely connected to every couple. I’m your main point of contact, your sounding board, your guide, and your creative partner. I adore getting to know the people behind the love story, what makes you laugh, what moves you, what you envision when you dream about your wedding day. Those details become the foundation of everything we create together.
​
I bring creativity, calm energy, and genuine care to every celebration. After all these years, this work still fills me with the same excitement I had on day one, maybe even more. Standing beside you on one of the most meaningful days of your life, leading a team that feels like family, and bringing your vision to life with intention… it truly is my dream job.
​
I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and start designing something unforgettable — just for you.
