Kelly & Blake - 2019
First and foremost, I do not think a simple review will capture it all. I cannot speak more highly of Italian Wedding Event and will try to proceed in doing such....
Planning a destination wedding is a feat in itself, especially if you are a particular person and do not relinquish control so easily....
First, I knew I had to trust in reviews / ratings (hopefully like mine), pictures, location of business, years in the industry, etc..
Next, I had to become at ease in communicating thru emails, Skype, WhatsApp (etc.). All of which I do in business, none of which I thought (for whatever reason) I would do come planning. I needed to become comfortable with all of this and then begin to trust my gut. Once again, all of which we do on a daily basis, but for whatever reason it was weird when doing for my big day.
It all started by googling Rome wedding planners and coming across Italian Wedding Event. I started off by communicating with the owner (Fede) - who helped me sign off on my wedding dress.
We were then gifted Miss Valentina, who was beyond a dream. Valentina is professional, meticulous and everything / anything you could dream of in the most dependent friend, family member and wedding planner. Being an extremely particular person myself, I knew I was in safe hands with providing Valentina my vision. From vendors, to rehearsal dinner, to day prior event for my family and friends who traveled to Rome, Valentina assisted with it all.
Our wedding was in March (2019) and we were fortunate enough to spend a few days with Valentina in October. She brought us to various (planned) locations and helped us do a complete 180 orchestrating our small (20p) wedding at Hostaria Luce and ceremony at Santa Maria in Trastevere versus our original plans.
I had the pleasure of working with Francy's husband for the day prior event and incredibly grateful for being introduced and working with such gems for hair (Mauro Lulli), makeup (Stefano Comelli), photography (Dan Sauer) and driver (Marco I.).
I would recommend these ladies to anyone any day of the week. They are top notch and will make your vision a reality. Trust in their reputation, their abilities and their passion for making it all wonderful and stress free.
