Every detail over the three days was perfectly thought out; from the breathtaking setting and seamless logistics to the beautiful personal touches that made the celebration feel uniquely ours. Our families and friends are raving about the experience, saying it was the best wedding they have ever attended. (And we are thrilled to hear that!)

We will be forever grateful for the memories created during this magical weekend. If you are considering a wedding in Italy, look no further than Simona and the entire Distinctive Italy Weddings team; They are a pleasure to work with and will give you the wedding of your dreams.
Best team in Italy!
Jacopo was incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process. There were definitely moments when I felt overwhelmed, and he always had a way of calming me down, reassuring me, and making everything feel completely manageable. His knowledge of the venues and Italian wedding industry was exceptional, and I always felt that we were in the best possible hands. He was truly the best planner for me and exactly the person I needed throughout this experience.
The entire Distinctive Italy Weddings team executed at an incredibly high level and consistently delivered above our expectations. They work with only first class vendors, and every vendor we interacted with was kind, professional, talented, and exceptional. The quality of every detail was evident, and the entire wedding weekend felt incredibly polished and effortless.
What impressed us most was not only their expertise, but the fact that they are genuinely wonderful people who care deeply about their clients and the experience they create. Planning a destination wedding from across the ocean could have been incredibly stressful, but their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process.
Choosing Distinctive Italy Weddings was worth every penny, and Jacopo was truly invaluable. We are so grateful for everything he and his team did to make our wedding in Italy everything we dreamed it would be and more. We would recommend Jacopo and Distinctive Italy Weddings without hesitation.
Wedding of our dreams
We were lucky enough to work with Simona and cannot recommend her enough. Her warmth and calm demeanor shined through from the very first interaction. Not only did she take our vision and brought it to life, but she somehow elevated it in every way and guided us to the perfect vendor choices in every category.
Planning a wedding from abroad can be incredibly stressful but Simona's responsiveness, thoughtfulness, professionalism, and excitement allowed us to enjoy not only the wedding day with our loved ones, but the entire planning process.
Over a month later, our families and friends are still talking about how magical the days were and are raving about it being the best wedding they have ever been to! It was an absolute fairytale.
We will be forever grateful for the memories created and shared during our wedding and cannot thank Simona and the entire Distinctive Italy Weddings team enough for bringing the wedding of our dreams to life.
Wonderful Experience!
Unfortunately, we ultimately decided not to move forward with an Italy wedding because the logistics of bringing a large wedding party and family overseas became more than we could reasonably take on. We truly wish we could have made it work, because Mariana was wonderful throughout the entire process.
Even though we did not end up booking, I wanted to leave a review because of how impressed we were with Mariana and the time and attention she gave us. I would absolutely recommend her and Distinctive Italy Weddings to anyone dreaming of a wedding in Italy. You will be in wonderful hands!
A dream wedding from a dream team!
They truly listened to our vision and delivered a final product that far exceeded our expectations. They were also incredibly mindful of our budget, constantly finding creative solutions so we could achieve our dreams without compromise. From coordinating multiple days of distinct cultural ceremonies to managing seamless transitions, their attention to detail and organization kept us completely at ease. Even when rain rolled in on multiple days, they handled the pivots with such grace and efficiency, and we didn't have to worry about a thing.
Our family and friends are still showering us with praise, with so many guests telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and the best service they’ve ever experienced. Jacopo, Federica, and Simona's bright, reassuring presence meant the world to us; we started this journey looking for wedding planners, but we ended it finding true friends ❤️ If you want a stress-free, breathtaking wedding, do yourself a favor and choose DIW!
The most amazing team that made our dream wedding become reality!
The Wedding of Our Dreams
A very special thank you to Simo and Jacopo, who were amazing throughout the whole process. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but they made everything feel so much easier with their support, organization, and attention to detail.
Everything on the wedding day was beautifully executed, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you for helping us create such special memories. We will never forget it! ❤️
Ostunio + Butler Wedding 2025
Jacopo and Fede, our guiding light.
With grace and precision, they crafted the day,
Transforming each moment in a magical way.
At Castello di Spessa, we said our vows,
In a tapestry woven with love’s sacred brow.
Their vision, a symphony, harmonious and clear,
Every detail attended, from far and near.
With poise and dedication, they handled each task,
Ensuring our happiness was all we could ask.
Through whispers of elegance, the castle did glow,
A canvas of memories where love's river flows.
From florals to music, each choice they bestowed,
A seamless affair where pure joy overflowed.
Their expertise shone, like stars in the night,
Guiding us tenderly, through love's pure delight.
So here we stand grateful, to Jacopo and Fede,
For weaving a celebration where hearts could be free.
With an ardent devotion, they brought forth our dream,
A day etched in time, like a beautiful dream.
For anyone seeking a passion so rare,
Trust our dear planners, they’ll always be there.
So raise up your chalice, let laughter ascend,
In this enchanted castle, where dreams have no end.
Grazie, Jacopo Tomè and Federica Salvi :)
From Ostunio + Butler with love,
