Milan is centrally located in Europe and well connected with many popular destinations, which makes the city the ideal logistical hub for us to set up our operations to tap potential opportunities of Europe’s lavish wedding market. Considering the wedding industry’s potential in Europe, we foresee extending our exceptional F&B experiences to 10 - 15 grand weddings and large-scale MICE events in Europe, every year.
