Original Tuscan Weddings is a wedding and event planning business in Florence, Italy that was founded in 2004. The business was founded by Elizabeth and Ann, American and English women that lived in Tuscany for more than 20 years. Together they started the first native English-speaking wedding planning agency in Tuscany. Their backgrounds are in sales, marketing and logistics. They help local and destination brides plan unforgettable Tuscan weddings.
Services Offered Original Tuscan Weddings is here to help you solve problems, plan, coordination and overcome language barriers while you have a stress-free experience and wedding day. Elizabeth and Ann collaborate with the most beautiful venues (with a specialty in winery weddings) and top-notch wedding photographers, caterers, entertainers, florists, transportation business and hair and makeup artists to make each part of your day magical. Whatever your vision, they make it come true with the added Tuscan flare. They can also plan elopements and wedding events including rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and more.
We started working with Elizabeth in April of this year and had our wedding in September. Our experience was very positive and we are very happy that we decided to go with OTC! Our communication was fast and frequent. Elizabeth always answered our questions quickly and offered numerous solutions and options for the things we had in mind. We relied on Elizabeth for everything, and she certainly delivered. We were a little nervous about planning such a special day from afar, and were worried about things getting lost in translation. BUT, it turned out that all we had to do was relax and trust OTC. Everything that we imaged for our day, from flowers, music, food to even our suite, was absolutely amazing! The Florist Team that OTC works with (Violamalvaflowers) did an amazing job with all of our flower decor and bouquets. They took special care to make the arch look the way I imagined it, which was very much appreciated! We couldn't be happier with how things turned out on our wedding day. Elizabeth is a wonderful wedding planner who will make sure that you and your guests are happy on your special day. She does a great job at keeping all of the decisions and expenses organized and clearly communicates what, where and how. But, she especially excelled at making sure that our day was as we imagined it, and that is exactly what we needed from our planners :) Thank you Elizabeth for your support and effort. We hope our paths will cross again in the near future.

Our Dream Tuscan Wedding!
Planning a wedding is never an easy task but especially when it is a destination wedding. We quickly realized that we would need a wedding planner to help with our wedding in Italy and kicked off our search spending countless evenings reading reviews in our quest to find the perfect wedding planner for us. We reached out to over a dozen wedding planners requesting information and received various levels of responses and price points.
After carefully reviewing all the information on hand and a successful Skype call, we selected Elizabeth and Ann at Original Tuscan Wedding (OTW). From our first contact with Elizabeth and Ann we found them to be personable, easy to communicate with and they also offered competitive pricing for their services. In addition they spoke both English and Italian fluently, so we were confident that there would be not be any misunderstandings with our vision and trusted that they would be able to translate the same to the Italian vendors.
During our wedding planning process, they promptly responded to all our emails and Skype call requests, provided detailed information, and were forthcoming with estimates and costs to help us plan our special day. This continued throughout as they guided us to trusted vendors for catering, flowers, photography, musicians, DJs and event transportation. Elizabeth and Ann were always patient with our endless questions, gave us sound advice based on their years of experience, and ultimately helped us create our dream wedding.
They are extremely professional, reliable, and genuinely nice people to work with. We could not be happier about our experience of working with Elizabeth and Ann and highly recommend their services.

Our dream Italian wedding!
Elizabeth and Ann organised our dream Italian wedding! The whole process was incredibly stress free for us as they let us know when it was time to make decisions on the flowers, caterers etc, and sent us recommendations who were all AMAZING! They also responded to any queries from us within a day or two and were incredibly flexible when we changed items such as our lighting. Every vendor they recommended provided the most brilliant service which really made the wedding. They have fantastic relationships with them and deal with all communication and negotiations. Our wedding truly was perfect and a lot of this was down to their organisation, we would highly recommend them as wedding planners!
