Once in a Lifetime Experience with the Dream Team!

When my wife first brought up the idea of getting married in Italy, it seemed like an impossible feat. I had no clue how to even wrap my head around pulling off a wedding like this. If you are reading this review and feeling any apprehension about trying to plan a wedding like this (especially from far away), I highly encourage you to give Elizabeth a call. Working with Elizabeth & Ann is the best decision we could have possibly made. They made our dream a reality. Elizabeth was the ultimate partner during the process. She helped us think through every single detail, no matter how small. She communicated proactively & responded immediately, even when our responses were delayed. She advocated for us in every situation that arose, big or small. Reflecting back on our experience (3 events over the course of 3 days at 3 different venues!), every moment went off without a hitch. And when uncontrollable things popped up (like rain 2 minutes before the start of our ceremony), both Elizabeth & Ann were in the background making sure things went so smooth that it all felt like part of the plan from the beginning. It's amazing to think this was all a reality, especially planning the entire thing from the US with only one visit over the course of 2 days to the venue and with our vendors. Don't hesitate! Call Elizabeth & Ann now. It will be the best possible decision you can make to plan your dream wedding in Tuscany. Thank you so much for a magical experience!

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding!

We recently had our wedding in Florence and had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth, Anne and the entire OTW team. Elizabeth made the entire process easy and enjoyable for planning a destination wedding. She was extremely detail oriented and kept us on track throughout the entire planning process. She made our vision come to life, and we still can’t believe how truly beautiful and perfect our wedding day was.

With her decades of experience in wedding planning, we felt confident that she would think of everything to make sure our day was beautiful, and she definitely did. Everything was executed flawlessly from coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline for both the welcome event and the wedding day. We had an amazing time and were confident that she had everything under control so that we could enjoy just being present.

Since she has so much experience with weddings in Tuscany, she has lists of top vendors from photographers to hair to make up artists. She would send us a list of these vendors, and all we had to do was pick the one. We never had to worry about researching or reviews, and just got to focus on the fun part of picking all the details for our day.

When we visited before the wedding, she planned an entire day to visit the venue, meet the florist, do a menu tasting, and coordinate a hair and make up trial. We so appreciated all of the time and effort she took to walk us through all parts of the planning.

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding, and Elizabeth played a huge role in making it all happen. We’ve already recommended OTW to a few couples looking to get married in Tuscany!

Original Tuscan Weddings planned our dream wedding!

Elizabeth at Original Tuscan Wedding is amazing! We are so happy we found her as our wedding planner and we would highly recommend her to anyone planning a destination wedding in Italy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was always willing to jump on a zoom call to discuss and provided thorough answers to my many questions. We would have never found our venue without her. On the actual wedding day (and at the welcome dinner), she was so calm and organized. I felt so relaxed the entire time because I knew she had everything handled. We are so incredibly thankful we had Original Tuscan Wedding as our planners.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
