What couples say
Beatrice celebrated our wedding with us in Borgo di Tragliata in May 2025. We were so delighted with how everything went. From the initial phone conaultation up to and after the ceremony, Beatrice was always kind, professional and helpful. She captured us very well as a couple made us feel so relaxed and kept the audiences attention for the whole ceremony. The ceremony itself and Beatrices excellent execution of it was praised by the wedding guests. I would definitely recommend Beatrice to anyone looking for a celebrant.
Beatrice was amazing! She is highly organised and communicated so well with us via Skype on several occasions and via numerous emails giving options for vowels and the format of our ceremony. She had numerous ideas and scripts from which we were able to pick and from here she added in our personal touches. On the day she was very professional, natural, relaxed and reassuring, which was very important as I was very emotional! We couldn't recommend her highly enough!!
We were very happy and glad to cono nis helped us, and how our wedding was celebrated, Beatriz Giacometti, made our celebration unique and special, she was very attentive at all times with us and always very kind, it was very helpful and a unique experience that she knows many languages, since our wedding was celebrated in German and Spanish, excellent at all times.
