Couldn't have done it without them!

Absolutely fantastic! Pia and Michele have been absolutely incredible from first contact a year before the wedding all the way through to weeks after wedding checking up on us and the legalisation of the wedding back home. Pia quickly figured out what we wanted, suggested absolutely brilliant venues and quickly established how to maximise our budget.
Pia and Michele were on hand at very short notice to advise and make arrangements. Nothing was too much for them. They were fantastic on every single task at every point along the way sorting Legality of marriage abroad, advised us through the food tastings, arranged the town hall viewings and final details, acted as the official translator, sorted a last minute private restaurant for all of our guests the night before the wedding, organised the hotels and transfers for many of our guests, advised sourced and collected the flowers, fantastic recommendations for photographers, stood in for the DJ when he was late through dinner (we didn't even realise), ensured not just our day, but our entire week in Tuscany was unforgettable for us and our guests, and nearly totally stress free!. Olive in Love was worth every penny and we would recommend them in a heart beat to anybody looking for an Italian wedding.

Magical Wedding Come True

Pia & Michele were heaven sent! Living in the U.S.A and planning a destination wedding involves many tasks but this amazing duo provided excellent communication allowing us to stay calm. They assisted with all of the documents to meet Italian law requirements every step of the way, including setting up the required appointments with both the Italian (this was truly a fun experience) and U.S.A. Embassy, as well as the Montepulciano Town Hall. The recommended Villa in the Val d'Orcia region was captivating, so awe-inspiring. It is a place we will all cherish forever. We will be eternally grateful for helping us make our wedding day absolutely perfect!!! Thank you and we will certainly visit again! Yaquelin & Vincent

Beautiful wedding weekend in Tuscany!

We had the pleasure of working with Pia and Michele (Olive in Love) in planning our wedding-weekend in Tuscany, during one year of planning. We are very satisfied with both the process and end result and would warmly recommend them to other couples. Pia helped us with every decision, from big to small - and we felt very safe and professionally taken care for. She did everything possible to make this our dream wedding, which was successful :) The actual wedding lasted from thursday-sunday, and we had some challenges with our flight being redirected to a different airport because of bad weather, but Pia made sure everything went smoothly in spite of this.
