Romance in Italy

I say this with the utmost understanding of the stressors surrounding the idea of planning a wedding, Sara of Romance in Italy is the solution to all of your problems, concerns, fears, and hesitations.

My husband and I started the wedding process about 2 years out and had decided to have a destination wedding in Italy (coming from the New Jersey, USA). We were totally unsure of where in Italy we wanted to be, but we had an idea of the style of wedding we wanted. We selected and interacted with over a dozen wedding planners throughout Italy, both through email and video chats. Sara was our first interview and we loved her immediately. Out of a minimum 3 quote system, we decided to interview a few more planners but none of them compared to Sara. She is incredibly down to earth, kind, thoughtful, and truly understood our vision -- that was SO important to us. We had a conservative budget, and Sara reassured us that our vision was attainable (compared to other planners who wanted to immediately bump our budget up by at least $20-40k).

The entire process was incredibly smooth. Sara set up a WhatsApp chat for the 3 of us where we were able to send notes, photo inspo, links, and any general questions or concerns we may have had. She was SO responsive and patient, even when we were 18-20 months out. Being a professional, we trusted Sara's experience to guide us through times of confusion and picking between options. As we were virtual and planning digitally, we were unable to do the traditional wedding planning events such as food tasting and touring the venue. Sara spent a day traveling to our top 3 venue choices, video chatting us along the way. She also was thoughtful and sweet enough to order things locally on our behalf (e.g., paper fans for guests during the ceremony), or have us use her address to ship items to Italy directly.

Sara also went out of her way to find and network with new vendors based on our unique wants, as well as reach out to vendors we had found ourselves. She knew exactly when to leverage her existing connections and when to make new ones. She is incredibly adaptable, and NEVER did we feel she was pressuring us to work with someone just because she had a prior relationship with them.

Day of coordination was also fantastic. Sara arrived the day before to greet us and set up the Welcome Dinner. On the day of our wedding, she coordinated the guests, wedding party, and vendors into creating a beautiful, loving, and special environment for us to enjoy our day. She and Chiara, her business partner, were super attentive to our needs throughout the evening and made she we were fed, relaxed, and kept comfortable.

I cannot recommend Sara and Romance in Italy enough. Without them, our wedding could not have happened. We are so grateful for everything Sara did for us, and we already miss our video chat meetings now that its all over!!

Romance in Italy, in the person of Sara, was the best choice we could have made.
Sara accompanied us throughout the journey, in every detail of the preparations, and was fundamental during the wedding day.
Thanks to her and her staff, everything was exactly as we wanted it to be.
Thanks Sara!
