What couples say about us

★★★★★

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Francesca! Her words and communication skills were just perfect.

TheaOctober 2021 · Celebrant: Francesca
★★★★★

Francesca was excellent at the ceremony. She provide a good deal of options for readings to be recited at the ceremony and was eloquent in her delivery. Highly recommend.

FredJune 2014 · Celebrant: Francesca
★★★★★

I cannot recommend Francesca enough as a knowledgeable, helpful and organised planner. She is considerate and professional, and simplifies the tangled documentation and paperwork into a clear itinerary that removed a significant amount of stress and confusion.

Moreover, every single other Italian vendor I spoke to independently recommended or endorsed her as one of Italy's most respected and trusted celebrants-planners in the local wedding industry, and I can believe it. If you are searching for someone to help you coordinate civil ceremony paperwork and understand the requirements to marry in Italy, you have found her. She and her team are extremely accomodating and empathetic with dates, locations and logistics.

Grazie mille for your time, Francesca - bonus that we share a first name!
