BEHIND YOUR EVENT SCENE

Bo Joy Quaini

“My inspiration comes from the simple things in life:
my relationship with God, the uniqueness of nature, the sound of music.”

If organizing weddings is an art, then Bo Joy is our Michelangelo. A fashion designer by trade, she is in love with all things beautiful, elegant, and creative. No wonder that after traveling the world – and organizing weddings along the way from the United States to Europe – she chose to settle in Italy. A place synonymous with love, romance, and sophistication.

Bo Joy has extensive experience in organizing events. Over the past seventeen years she has been the brains behind all kinds of events of corporate and governmental character in countries like the USA, Great Britain, Italy, and Bulgaria.

She believes in perfectly planned and delightfully detailed events. And really a few people actually say “delightfully” when talking about all the technicalities that go along with organizing a wedding. Bo Joy is one of those people. A self-motivated and passionate organizer, she believes in providing superb client service at every turn. No details are small enough to get overlooked and no amount of work is too much when the perfect wedding or event is concerned.

Planning a wedding in Italy has its subtleties, true. But having someone who has the experience Bo Joy does is your hidden ace.

While organizing any kind of event, you really need someone who is easygoing but well-organized. Calm but dependable. Someone who’s done it all but is still creative and eager to do more – just for you. Bo Joy is the kind of person that ticks all the boxes.

professional

“People matter most. That is true in love, it is true in business, and it is most certainly true in organizing weddings and events. If you choose to work with Bo Creations, you put your trust in me personally. The burden of responsibility is not something I would ever betray. This is what I look for in the people I work with too.

It wasn’t easy, but I found them. Maybe they found me. Either way – you should know that you have the best team, helping out with everything.”

our history

SNEAK PEEK INTO THE PAST OF OUR BRAND

“A gateway to blessings for all willing to go through”

“Bo Creations” started in the year 2007. Bo Joy had one very loud dream in her heart – blessing people through something she builds from the ground up, something that by any mean could gather in one place if not all then most of her best qualities. She started by handcrafting unique wedding stationery and floral arrangements. With a keen eye for details and a sense of aesthetics that only a fashion designer can have, she set forth creating by hand unique and sophisticated patterns on each and every wedding invitation, albums, gifts, cards, seating charts and all-things related to weddings. Flowers, another of her passions, also became artworks, never attested, but always bringing joy to any venue and happy occasion.
And still, something was missing. Something was not fully aligned with her heart’s dream. Blessing through handmade products and flower decorations was not what was “gathering in one place most or all of her best qualities”.

2007

“How about you organize our wedding as well?”

A little less than a year after Bo Joy’s small business of blessing people and making them happy had taken off, two customers – a couple, themselves happily engaged – came up with a question: “You are so good in creating gorgeous details for weddings, how about you organize our wedding as well?”

That was what Bo Creations was born for! The “creations”, part of the company, were meant to be physical manifestations of blessing and happiness. The flowers, the decoration, the stationary… But organizing an entire wedding day – that really was what Bo had initially in her heart, mind and conversations with God!

People who know Bo are unlikely to be surprised by her answer. It was, without any hesitation: “Yes, let’s do this!”.

2008

from weddings to events

Fast forward two years after the momentous question of our first married couple, Bo Creations was a different business. In fact, the company had rebranded itself and was now called - “Wedding agency Bo Creations”. As you might have guessed - the first wedding was a resounding success. So much so, that the word-of-mouth marketing was working in full swing without any real effort on behalf of Bo Joy. All she did was to post pictures of past events on social media.

Happy couples simply kept on recommending her and her credentials as a wedding planner were now on par with her craftsmanship in handmade art. So yet another strange question came by. After seeing her work online, a client came by with a request.

“So how do you imagine your wedding day?”, something of this sort must have been the first question given by Bo in the conversation. Imagine how awkward it must have been, when it turned out that these clients were actually looking to hire Bo Creations for planning series of corporate events.

2010

the event portfolio grows

When business starts to really take off, it usually speeds up as it grows. Such was the case with Bo and her by now not-so-small enterprise. Needless to say, another rebranding was in order. Bo Creations had now added “Weddings and events” to its name. Unsurprisingly, in 2011 came the first governmental clients.

While these are events like any other in some aspects, key requirements mean a lot here. Public etiquette, protocol and procedures make all the difference. The first customers were based in Bulgaria, but high profile clients such as the US and French Embassies in Sofia gave Bo an international clout. Soon this translated into making events abroad as well. Ambassadors, different US military agencies like the US Marine Corps and NATO, even ministries were among the customers at this stage.
And all the while, weddings never stopped. The floral design, the stationary, decorating the venues etc. Everything was running smoothly within the different departments of Bo Creations.

2011

first destination weddings

Switzerland, United Kingdom and Croatia hosted some of the first weddings abroad that Bo Joy organized. Mixed couples were usually the culprits. Some wanted to organize a wedding in a country, different than their primary residence, others wanted to do it closer to the home and relatives they had left behind at some point in their lives.

Whatever the reasons, the idea of organizing “destination weddings” was born. In a way, it is not new. People have famously been married by Elvis in Las Vegas for decades, or at other party-friendly locations. But, here at Bo Creations, the approach was always different. It was always about exclusivity and the finest sensations - from cuisine, to music and art.

2012

Planning forward

Having said that, the world is changing and so is Bo Creations. More and exotic destinations await...

Take a look at some of the weddings we are so proud of. While each is unique, perhaps you might just find something that inspires you:

Apart from weddings, we have organized multiple events, contracted by high profile governmental agencies, as well as corporate clients. Take a look behind the curtains in these galleries.

YOUR EXQUISITE EVENT WITH US

Getting married is a momentous occasion, worthy of the grand celebration of your dreams. We understand all too well that this could seem overwhelming if you are only now starting to plan for the ceremony.

The same is true for other events as well. If you are coming from the corporate world, or a civil servant, tasked with organizing a formal occasion, rest assured – assistance is always a call away.

Let us take you through the next steps, should you choose to work with us on your weddings and events.

DOING YOUR HOMEWORK

Before getting in touch with us it is best if you would already have in mind a date for your special event /or month and a year/, approximate guest list and additionally maybe a desired destination.

TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF

We have devised a simple contact form, that you can fill in order to clarify some of the most basic parameters of your dream occasion. If you have thought about dates, budget and number of guests, etc. – that would be the place to start. If you are still unsure – just send us a message and we will go through all details together.

MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIENDS

While preparing for the occasion, we will be frequently in touch. You are meeting with one of the best planners with almost two decades of experience in weddings and events from corporate and governmental character.
During the first meeting we give you all the attention in the world making sure we get to know you well and understand to a great depth your desire and a vision.

TIME TO DIVE INTO THE DEEP

Then we gently dive you into the world of celebrations filled with elegance and make you feel comfortable. At this stage, we are finding out how it could best work personally for you.

SIGNING THE CONTRACT

Once we decide to become a team that will bring your vision into reality, we sign a contract, you make a payment to secure your event date with us, and jump straight into an ocean of inspirations while we build together the entire event budget.

PICKING THE RIGHT PLACES

Next steps usually are choosing destination, location and getting down to specifying the venues that will respond best to all your event needs. Whether it is taking place in one day or spread and experienced over a weekend or an entire week. Save the Dates and Invites are next to be send out.

VENDORS CHOICE!

Out of our database with more than 5300 partnering vendors, we are handpicking the ones right for you and your dream to come true: wedding or event stationery designers, photographers, cinematographers, DJ and entertainment, event designers, personal styling designers, MUAH, logistic companies, lodging, florists, chefs, and everyone else needed.

WRITING DOWN AN EVENT SCENARIO

We go through building personal check lists, writing down wedding or event day scenarios, speeches etc. We define the entire wedding or event design as well as the dress code. We discuss, and choose the attire and all accessories. Towards the end of the second stage of the planning and organization of your noteworthy occasion, we are ready with all things important.

YOU CAN ALMOST TASTE THE EVENT

In fact - you can do it literally. It is customary to have a taste of the menu options before the event itself. While these tastings may differ from venue to venue, we always strive to give you multiple options to choose from, prepared from some of the best chefs we work with. Should you choose Italy as your destination, tradition mandates that you pair good food with good wine - an essential part of the tasting. Regardless of location - everything from cakes to liquor and refreshments can be put on the table for the test, should you request it. For a couple organizing a wedding - this is a genuinely fun time for bonding and getting to know the place better. For any other type of event, this is an opportunity for the client to gauge the options and choose whichever suits the occasion best.

Working hard behind the scenes

The guests at any event see only a small part of all the work that goes into organizing it. Of course, that is generally a good thing, because it means that all the equipment, catering services, performers and all other staff have been coordinated perfectly, never standing in the way of the party, all the while making it silently work. However, you will notice it all and having the right coordinator on the day makes all the difference.

THE BIG DAY

Everything is finalized at this point. All the vendors know their cues and all the guests have been attended to. The wedding planners are up and about, making sure that nothing and on one is left out. All you have to do is say the magic words: “I DO”.

have fun and party hard
