The best celebrant ever!!!

We recently had the absoloute privilege of having Guiseppe as our celebrant for our wedding in Rome, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, he was warm, attentive, and it was clear that he was deeply committed to making our ceremony truly special. We are a same sex, female couple and we were nervous that our ceremony would end up being too traditional and worried that we wouldn't find an inclusive celebrant that would be able to capture our vision. However, the ceremony Giuseppe and Diane prepared was absolutely perfect.

His delivery on the big day was flawless—professional yet personable, with the perfect blend of humor, emotion, and sincerity. He created an atmosphere that was both intimate and inclusive, making everyone feel connected to the moment. (Everyone was in floods of tears) His words felt like he was speaking directly from the heart, not just following a script.

Every part of the ceremony reflected who we are as a couple. Every detail was exactly as we envisioned- in fact it was better than we could have imagined!

If you're looking for an officiant who will make your wedding ceremony unforgettable, someone who is thoughtful, inclusive, and genuinely invested in your happiness, look no further. They made our day magical, and we will forever be grateful for the role Giuseppe and Diane played in our big day. Couldn't recommend a better duo. Thank you both

Incredible Officiant

Wow. Giuseppe was the officiant for our wedding and he delivered us the most amazing, elegant, and personable wedding ceremony we could have ever asked for! My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the ceremony, and we will remember the special words for a very long time. We are incredibly grateful to have had Giuseppe be a part of our wedding day.

In the months and weeks and days leading up to the wedding, he and his team were very responsive and helpful, answering any and all questions we had. Their service is also very organized, and you are able to personalize it to any degree you’d like!

I cannot recommend them enough, truly the perfect option for your wedding ceremony!

Special, fun, and light hearted!

Our ceremony in Italy was so special thanks to Diane! She took the time to meet with us on Zoom to get to know us and what we envisioned for our ceremony, and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. Diane’s ceremony was personal to us and incorporated beautiful poems and funny jokes about us as a couple. She encouraged us to incorporate our loved ones for readings and I’m so glad we did it! She was super communicative leading up to the day and we highly recommend Blessings from Italy to anyone!

Working with Blessings from Italy was a great experience. Our main goal is to communicate the emotions and feelings experienced by the couple on their wedding day through the medium of video. Diane and Giuseppe really helped us to create one of our favourite videos, which is also one of the most emotional. They gave us plenty of great material which we used to create a magical atmosphere… and not only by the beauty of their words but also through the vehicle of their souls. We appreciated their professionalism and because we are sensitive people too we share their passion for emotion! They have huge respect, love and sensitivity for the work they do. If you are looking for Celebrants who possess deep values and are empathetic to a high degree you will certainly never forget the celebration of your love if you hire them to immortalize your special day.
