Jasmin & Michael - 2018
Francesca is simply THE BEST! I wanted to wait for the wedding to be over so I can give a through recap and rating of IWE, and we are finally there- one month post-wedding. Destination wedding planning is a daunting task so I hope this review helps all you future brides. I call it my give back to the wedding world karma. So here it is:
When we started our search for a wedding planner, we had 3 referrals and 5 other reputable wedding planning agencies that we had researched online. I'm not usually a spur-of-the moment, make a decision on the spot kind of a person, but from the moment I saw Francesca on Skype it was love at first sight! She is a beautiful brunette with a big beautiful smile and a discipline and work ethic that is so hard to find. She is half-Italian and half British and this pretty much says it all. She has the perfect balance of both cultures: the warmth and cheerfulness of an Italian and the discipline and worth ethics of a Brit, and that's a hard combination to find in anyone.
I work in the entertainment industry in a city like LA and I am a very particular person when it comes to design and aesthetics. Francesca was so patient and helpful in taking in my points and also calling me out when my vision proved too unrealistic or unnecessarily expensive.
All in all, our destination wedding turned out to be a dream come true all because of Francesca. Compared to the other 8 wedding planners I had talked to, her rate is extremely reasonable. After meeting her during those 3 days of celebrations, my entire family fell in love with Francesca. We still talk about her at family dinners. Francesca and her team (Valentina) are young, energetic, and simply put amazing professionals. Do yourself and your wedding a favor and hire Francesca and IWE!
