Aurelia was founded in London in 2012 by two producers who had spent a decade backstage at the world's great events — opera premieres, state dinners, fashion shows in palazzi — and had come to believe that the most important production of all was the one nobody was treating as art: the wedding.
We began with a single celebration on Lake Como — a ceremony for forty guests in a garden we could not afford to get wrong — and we have kept that first wedding's standard as the house's only metric: would we be proud to stand in the back of the room and watch it unfold?
Fourteen years later the atelier spans London, New York and a studio above the lake in Cernobbio, but the shape has not changed. A small team. Twelve celebrations a year. Every destination scouted on foot, every vendor known by name, every guest considered. We are not the largest house in this world, and we intend never to be.
