The best of wedding planning comes to the LGBT community.

Expertly planned NYC and Italian destination weddings organized down to the finest detail to make everyone’s most special day magical

Event planner-fashionista Gioia Grabos has launched her latest venture with characteristic style: Same Love, Better Wedding (SLBW).

After masterminding an unforgettable wedding for her friend Davide and his partner Chad, Gioia decided to share her expertise with the broader community, teaming up with renowned make-up artist and fellow wedding aficionado, Pablo Ardizzone and floral designer Murilo De Andrade, as well as enlisting the services of the industry’s leading LGBTQ friendly companies.

Now, the SLBW brand offers events that prove not only do we have the right to wed legally, but to enjoy a show-stopping event just as brides and grooms have done for eons.

SLBW aims to serve discerning clients to seal their future in the greatest city in the world—New York City. And drawing on their Italian heritage, Gioia and Pablo also specialize in the most romantic of destination weddings: those set in Venice, Rome, Tuscany or Sardinia, to name just a few picture postcard locations.

SLBW covers all aspects of wedding planning, transportation to venue, to DJs, caterers, cakes, photographers, luxury gift bags, and an event that will go off without a hitch.
