Ciao Tess & Tom,
Thank you so much for considering Che Figata for your summer 2027 celebration in Western North Carolina. I’ve curated a custom selection of planning and design options crafted specifically for your weekend, each designed to support a seamless, intentional, and beautifully orchestrated experience from start to finish.
I can’t wait to learn more about your vision and begin shaping an unforgettable celebration that feels uniquely yours. Your story, your style, and your joy are at the heart of everything we create.
Welcome.
Sono Tarah, planner, designer and creative director of Che Figata.
For the past fifteen years, I’ve worked in marketing, events, design, and brand direction, helping people and places tell stories that feel alive. My work bridges Italy and the Carolinas, blending dolce vita sensibility with intentional design and calm strategy.
I started Che Figata to create experiences that move people. Weddings that feel cinematic, interiors that feel soulful, and brands that feel human. With a background in graphic design, interior styling, and luxury event direction, I approach every project like a visual language: color, texture, emotion, and space working together in harmony.
Benvenuti, let’s make something unforgettable.
About.
We know your inbox is full, so we’ll keep this clear and honest. Che Figata creates highly curated destination weddings for couples who value artistry, intention, and a story worth telling.
After 15+ years across fashion, events, and creative direction, and nearly a decade designing & working in Italy, we craft celebrations that feel cinematic, soulful, and unmistakably you.
We take on a limited number of weddings each season to ensure one thing: you get our full creative focus, strategic expertise, and genuine partnership from the first conversation to the final toast.
Love Letters.
From our very first call, I knew Tarah was the one. She instantly understood my vision and brought it to life with creativity, honesty, and total calm.
She was my hype woman, voice of reason, and comedic relief all at once. Our wedding day was stunning, stress-free, and beyond what I dreamed of. Her passion, work ethic, and heart shine through in everything she does.
I'd choose Tarah and Che Figata a hundred thousand times over.
Bree & Jeffrey
She's the wedding planner you didn't know you needed. Fluent in Italian, endlessly creative, and impossibly calm. Somehow, she takes all your chaos and turns it into a beautifully orchestrated event that feels effortless.
Tarah's creative eye is unreal. She designed our website and invitations like a luxury branding agency, all while managing vendors, logistics, and last-minute curveballs with grace.
If you're planning a wedding in Italy (or anywhere, really), hire Tarah. You'll get stunning results, real kindness, and someone who makes the whole experience fun and completely stress-free.
Lindsay & Travis
Hiring Tarah and Che Figata was the best decision I made for my wedding. Tarah understood my vision instantly. It was like she was in my head. Her creativity, professionalism, and organization are unmatched. She handled every detail and every hiccup so effortlessly that / spent my entire wedding day completely stress-free. The result? Absolute magic.
Chandler & Connor
There are not enough words to express how grateful we are. Tarah is fantastic! Organized, timely, responsive, supportive, knowledgeable and thorough. She is also insanely creative with design!
Tarah was able to think of every aspect and possible outcome for our wedding day and planned ahead for everything! I did not have a worry in the world during our special day (and I am a huge control freak) - Our day turned out beautifully and it was a HUGE wedding (260 guests), I will be recommending Che Figata to everyone who needs an event planner!
