    Truly exceptional


    We live in London and we worked with Mariana from DIW to create our dreamy 3-day wedding event in Siena, Italy. Throughout the entire process, Mariana made us feel at ease, confident in the process, and most importantly, excited rather than stressed. Mariana was a true partner throughout the process, she had excellent recommendations and was able to connect us with the best of the best vendors. Mariana and the team were super responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and always available to answer questions and problem solve with us. Working with DWI was a great choice - they were truly exceptional and we literally couldn’t have done it without them!

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Kristie! I well remember our first consultation and am so appreciative of your taking the time to share your experience working with DIW. Most importantly that you had a wonderful wedding and enjoyed working with your amazing Mariana! All our best for your future together!

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the whole team, but also highlight the excellent guidance and service from Stefania!

She’s been a great advisor through out this process and she always made sure we got to view all kinds of different options to get us the perfect wedding. It was a pleasure working with you, and it was a great comfort how on the big day you were calm, collected and a true anchor for the both of us making sure everything went well. We can not thank you enough, our wedding would never been the same without you or the team.

    Exceeded our expectations!

    Investing in DIW planning services was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Our planner, Jacopo, made the entire process completely seamless even with a 6 hour time difference. The vendors he selected for us to choose from were all fantastic, and they executed our vision perfectly. All of our friends and family commented multiple times that the wedding ran more smoothly than any other wedding they've been to, and that every last detail was beautiful! We truly could not have done it without with DIW team. They were fantastic to work with and made us feel comfortable and relaxed on the wedding day, taking away all the stress of coordinating, so we could just enjoy the day. Truly could not recommend them enough!

    DIW makes dreams come true

    We would give DIW a million stars if we could, my partner and I were marred in a traditional Indian celebration over the course of 3 days in the Tuscan countryside. Our priorities were successfully blending Indian tradition and culture with the beauty of the Italian landscape, making sure our guests were completely taken care of, and making sure our personalities shined through at every opportunity.

    When we came into contact with Rosanna it was clear that this team was passionate and very well equipped to create the wedding of our dreams, but once we started actually planning with Jacopo, we were able to really see his expertise come to life.

    Jacopo, quite simply, made our DREAMS COME TRUE, every vendor that we were matched with was of the highest quality, every decision we made was done with so much thoughtfulness and care, every last minute hiccup was taken care of without us having to worry about anything going wrong. And truly, our wedding flew by immaculately, and with both of us as the bride and groom being able to thoroughly enjoy every moment almost as if we were guests ourselves.

    Another very important point is how well Jacopo and his team took care of our guests. Indian culture emphasizes hospitality and every guest has individually noted how thoughtful the entire experience felt for them. We had a lot of complicated religious and dietary restrictions that the team took the time to understand fully and accommodate for in the most seamless way. Everything we thought would be an added complication and a burden to the planning, was handled with so much respect, and everyone felt very well taken care of.

    Jacopo also really got to know us throughout our time planning this wedding together, and as he got to understand what makes us happy his suggestions and ideas pulled the whole wedding together and we could really trust that he would always do what was in our best interest. It was incredibly liberating to know that your planning team is not just a team that is executing on a plan, but they’re a team that can intuit your feelings to make the wedding perfect for you!

    Absolutely choose DIW for your wedding experience, it is the decision that set our wedding on the path for success and a memory that we and our guests will never ever forget!

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Goodness! What a review Neha! What can we say but thank you! We LOVED planning your wedding and Jacopo was always super enthusiastic about your event. We are so happy that the services, providers and location were everything you hoped for. That is our goal for every couple we have the pleasure to work with! Please come back to visit us soon. And again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for really taking the time to share with others your experience working with Distinctive Italy! Kindest regards - Rosanna

    Distinctive Italy Wedding helped us plan our wedding in Lake Como including events the day before.

    DIW was amazing to work with. Rosanna was extremely knowledgeable and got us off to a great start. Our personal wedding planner, Mariana, was also incredible. She was so responsive, answered all of our questions and was so patient with us. She got to know us and really understood our priorities and helped us with all of our planning needs and decision making. I would recommend her and DIW to anyone.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Grazie, grazie Caroline! It makes our day to read that you and Connor had the wedding you wanted and that your experience working with DIW was super positive. We are always honored when couples choose us as their planners. Wishing you all the best as you begin your married life together!

    Professional, knowledgeable, responsive

    We absolutely loved working with Rosanna and her team. They offered a free consultation to understand our needs first, worked with our venues of choice to obtain more information and find the right solution for us. Rosanna and team were responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and helped us estimate total budgets for various wedding venues to help us make the right choice. I would definitely recommend Distinctive Italy Weddings for large and logistically complex events, as they are extremely professional and have the ability to guide and advise, and anticipate any issues that may come up and help resolve those proactively. A huge thanks to the team for supporting us! Anastasia

    Hire this team immediately!

    Below is the email my husband and I sent to our wedding planner, Jacopo Tomé, after our 5/27/2023 wedding in Florence, Italy. This should reflect our thoughts on Jacopo and the DIW team. Bottom line: we cannot recommend Jacopo and team enough. Happy wedding planning!

    Email:

    Dearest Jacopo,

    Apologies for the delay in our return email, as we wanted to make sure we gave this email our full care and attention.

    There are not enough words to express our gratitude to you, Jacopo, for all of your hard work. Chase and I will be talking about our wedding weekend for the rest of our lives. And for that, we are eternally grateful. Not only did you and the DIW team make our wedding weekend come to life, you gave us a weekend that was beyond our wildest dreams. We were in awe all weekend at the magic that you and all the vendors brought to life.

    Jacopo – Chase and I enjoyed every single call we had with you over the past (almost) year. We left each call energized and excited for what’s to come. We can’t thank you enough for your endless positivity, energy, patience, organization, expertise, attention to detail, and professionalism that you brought to each interaction we had with you. After just a few calls together, Chase and I knew we could trust you to be our guide. And after a few months of working together, we thought of you as a close friend. That feeling was confirmed after our tasting weekend together in March – you treated us like old friends and made sure our trip was as fun, memorable and productive as possible. We had the best time with you and will never forget that time together. Throughout our work together, you never led us astray, you reassured us whenever reassurance was needed, you pivoted when we changed our minds, but also pushed back (in the kindest and most professional way) where it was needed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Jacopo.

    Roland’s Catering – where to begin! While we had many critiques after the tasting, Roland’s was the vendor that made our wedding as magical as it was. Every single detail they provided – from the servers’ kindness and fun personalities, to the champagne on a tray for Chase & I whenever we entered a room, to the cake cutting with more champagne, to them bringing around extra of the courses to ensure guests were well fed, to the small trays of fruit & cookies both nights, to the beautiful display of digestif. Every single aspect of their service was phenomenal – we cannot say enough glowing things about Roland’s and are so thankful you brought them to us as a vendor. We could not recommend them to future couples enough.

    Aberrazioni Cromatiche – oh my goodness. We had so much fun with the photographers & videographers on Saturday night. They were kind, patient, fun, creative, and asked to take unique shots I would never think of! On top of all that, they were as happy as we were! We fed off of their energy and had the best time during every shoot. We cannot wait to see the final product.

    Flowers – Alé was where I think I gave the most direction… so I knew that if anyone was annoyed with me, it would be him! But when we knew we were in good hands was when we met Alé in Florence in March – his attention to detail while we told him what we liked and didn’t was impeccable. We loved working with him. And the flowers both nights were drop dead gorgeous – both were more beautiful than we could have imagined.

    Tuscan Lab – Gloria was so lovely to work with. She understood immediately what our vision was, brought it to life, and pivoted with every change we requested. Her work is absolutely stunning. I wish she lived in the US so I could continue to work with her for all of my stationary needs :).

    Kaleydo Entertainment – while we didn’t meet with Kaleydo, we are so thankful for all of their hard work. The lights, staging, music were all worth it and we can’t imagine the weekend without everything they provided. They brought our weekend to life!

    DIW Team – thank you to everyone who worked on making our wedding weekend possible. We loved working with Rosanna and the DIW team and could not recommend DIW enough. Your team’s organization and work through AislePlanner made our lives so much easier since we were both juggling a lot – with being in graduate school, living in different cities, etc. If there is any other way I can support your business or be a reference, please let me know.

    Palazzo Gondi – was the most stunning venue and feels big enough for a wedding! Our favorite parts – the room where we ate dinner, the downstairs and upstairs terraces. One consideration for future couples, it seems like the person in charge monitoring the villa didn’t let some guests onto the small upstairs terrace that was surrounded by jasmine bushes (which we thought would be available to guests). In addition, they didn’t allow guests to bring drinks up to the top terrace (which we thought guests would be allowed to do). So there were some strict guidelines to this venue that I think future couples should consider.

    Villa di Maiano – I cannot recommend this venue enough. Our guests were shocked by each area of the venue and how special each moment and reveal was – from the Oak Garden, to the Italian Garden, to the Terrace, to the Main Room, to the Limonaia Isabella. If couples ask, the money is WORTH it for larger weddings because it gives you so much space for Plan A, and a great option for Plan B. And Isabella, the owner, was the sweetest and most warm person to work with. I will never forget her kindness when she first gave us a tour of the Villa back in July 2022. And when she brought around blankets on Saturday night of the wedding to keep our guests warm. Her hospitality was incredible.

    For Other Couples Considering Italy – getting married in Italy was the best decision we made. We were considering Italy or New York. Italy was able to give us a wedding that truly felt like a fairytale and unlike any wedding in the US we had ever been to. On top of that, the quality of the services and vendors in Italy were unparalleled. The Italian vendors truly cared about our event and went above and beyond to make us happy, which I think is unlike many US vendors who often surprise couples with extra fees and costs and don't show as much compassion in their work.

    Please let me know if I am forgetting anyone – I am more than willing to write more for you and the team because I cannot recommend you all more! So whatever you need, please let me know.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Jacopo. We will never forget you and the wedding weekend you created for us. We hope to see you again in Florence or in NYC whenever you visit.

    All our love and gratitude ❤

    Rachel & Chase

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Wow. What can we say except grazie, grazie, grazie!
    We are overwhelmed by your kindness and so thankful that you had an amazing experience working with Distinctive Italy.
    I know how much Jacopo enjoyed planning your wedding and working with you. Exchanging creative ideas was such a pleasure and then seeing them all come together on the days of your celebration was something the entire team enjoyed and commented on. Many best wishes from all of us a DIW!
    Grazie di cuore - Rosanna

    DIW: The best wedding planning decision we made!

    Hiring DIW was the best, most impactful decision we made during the entire planning process - we would highly recommend them to anyone planning a destination wedding in Italy, and even doubly so if it's an Indian/Hindu wedding. Of all the vendor options we looked at, DIW by far had the most experience and therefore worth every penny!

    The actual day-to-day planning was done by Simona and Stefania - they were an absolute dream team. First, they were incredibly organized, helped in part by their centralized planning website. Having this tool was actually a very unique offering and while we underestimated the value in the beginning, it was so impactful as we got closer to the wedding. Second, there was also great communication throughout the process (while less frequent during their busy season, they still provided regular updates!)

    Not only was DIW fantastic to work with, their vendor partners were also amazing! They have a short list of trusted vendors and generally provide a select number of options to choose from, which also makes the selection process so much easier. 

    During the wedding itself, Simona and Stefania were rock stars. Everything ran very smoothly behind the scenes, to the point that many of our friends and family noticed and were complimenting DIW's work. During the wedding weekend, unexpected weather came through and we had to make some last-minute adjustments to move some events indoors. All it took was a quick text or a little side conversation with Simona/Stefania, and then all of their magic -- coordinating with all the vendors, deciding how best to lay out the Plan B, etc. -- would "just happen." In the midst of all the wedding day stress/chaos, then this experienced day-of coordination was absolutely priceless.

    Thank you so much Simona, Stefania, Rosanna, and the rest of the DIW team! You were an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Wow Shruti, thank you so much for such wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to read you had such a great experience working with Distinctive Italy. That is our number one goal:). It was a delight for us to work with you and so thankful you have wonderful memories of your wedding day! Grazie from all of us at DIW!

    DIW made the best day of our lives possible

    DIW is an incredible company with a kind, professional and capable team that can make any wedding dreams come true. From the beginning of the process, we were helped to find our dream venue by Rosanna (one of the founders of DIW), connected with professional vendors, and felt the peace of mind of knowing our wedding was in fantastic hands. Our wedding planner Jacopo was dedicated, dependable, and so sweet to us during this entire planning process. His work ethic is unmatched and his attention to detail is amazing. He made the best day of our lives possible and we are so so grateful.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Woohoooo! So, so happy for you and Javi! Thank you Andreina for sharing your experience working with Distinctive Italy Weddings. We are so happy that you had the wedding of your dreams and loved the venue.
    We loved working with you! All our best wishes to you as you begin married life together! Rosanna and the Distinctive Italy Team.

    Amazing wedding planners that truly care about what the Bride and Groom want

    I can’t say enough of how much of a pleasure it was working with DIW. Rosanna and her team put in so much time to understand what we were looking for even before a contract was signed and did an incredible job at making recommendations based on our desires and budget. I love that Rosanna truly understood our requirements and therefor was able to guide us to something that fit perfectly for our dream wedding. It was clear that DIW truly cares about making this an unforgettable and amazing day for their clients. The advice that we received, the understanding of what we wanted, the speed at which they worked, among other things was truly amazing and made them a joy to work with. DIW made it very easy to enjoy this process rather than feel stressed. While external circumstances caused us to change our plans and no longer hold a wedding in Italy, I am confident that we would have received our absolute dream wedding by working with DIW. Highly recommend DIW to anyone looking to have a wedding in Italy who wants to pull off their dream wedding while having a fun planning experience!

    Truly the best wedding planner.

    If anyone can make dreams come true, it's Distinctive Italian Weddings.

    I cannot stress this enough – DIW planners have everything covered and you are in THE very best of hands throughout the entire process. As someone who has planned and executed high-brow events at work, I went into this knowing that we needed a wedding planner who thought 10 steps ahead and anticipated every one of our needs along with a strong contingency plan... DIW thinks 20 steps ahead!

    Planning a wedding during the pandemic in nine months from abroad is no easy task, but DIW made everything easy for us. From day one, Rosanna understood our wedding vision and was so diligent about bringing us a range of solutions for our most important day.

    While our wedding was small (54 guests), we wanted to do it in a big way so we planned a 3-day wedding weekend with DIW. Our main planners, Jacopo & Simona, were an absolute godsend – Extremely responsive, meticulous, professional, knowledgeable. Jacopo is incredibly skilled and made us feel at ease during every step of the process... Jacopo's acumen (wedding and beyond) is truly outstanding. Upon our arrival in Italy, he prioritized each of our asks no matter how big or small; he was there to answer every one of our questions and made sure nothing got lost in translation. The DIW Team was SO accommodating and took care of everything for all of our guests including our grandmother and two young nieces. Concerned with rain on your wedding day? No issue – It rained for about 20 minutes in the evening right before dinner, so we had to pivot quickly and shift one location of our reception indoors... Jacopo seamlessly handled this; none of our guests even noticed so we were able to relax and enjoy the moment with all of our friends and family.

    Our wedding day was outrageously beautiful in every way... This team truly puts love into everything they do, and it meant the world to us to have a reliable, trustworthy, and gracious team right there with us. Bravo DIW – We love you!!! We cannot thank you enough.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Thank you thank you Sasha! We are so thrilled that you had such a positive planning experience with the DIW team. We loved working with you and Steve. It is of the utmost importance to us that our couples feel valued and heard and that their wedding day be everything they dreamed of!

    Awesome Wedding Planners

    I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing job Distinctive Italy Weddings did in planning our Indian wedding in Positano. From start to finish, they were professional, organized, and attentive to our needs. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding day was a dream come true. They helped us navigate the complexities of planning an Indian wedding in a foreign country and made it a seamless and enjoyable process. The vendors they recommended were all outstanding and their attention to detail was exceptional. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the venue, the decor, the food, and the overall experience. It was truly a magical day that we will never forget and we owe it all to our incredible wedding planners. Thank you so much for making our wedding day the best day of our lives!

    Dream wedding with phenomenal attention to detail

    Stefania and the team at Distinctive Italy Weddings put together a phenomenal wedding for us in Lake Como. We couldn't have been happier with how our two day event turned out and wouldn't have changed a thing. We wish that we could relive our dream wedding all over again. Their team of vendors did a fantastic job - I was astonished by their attention to detail. We had so many different requests and they met every one of them.

    Mariana was positive and wonderful!

    Getting married in Italy from the US can seem like a challenge, but DIW made the process easy. We had Mariana as our head planner and she was wonderful. Being a teacher I always feel the need to plan ahead of time and be organized so giving the reigns to someone else scared me. However Mariana would reassure me, answer all of our questions, and was positive throughout the whole process. She truly made our vision of our table scape come to life along with the florist they had as a vendor. If I was unsure about a decision she would discuss it with us and help us decide on the best one within our budget. She was never pushy which I loved! Thank you Mariana for helping our wedding dreams come true!

    Magical Wedding Experience

    Working with Distinctive Italy Weddings to plan our wedding from the US was nothing short of amazing. We had the most beautiful wedding day along with beautiful memories of getting to experience working with the most wonderful staff. The number one question that many people have asked was, “how did you even manage to book a wedding in Italy from America?” The answer was always simple- we could not have done it without our team from Distinctive Italy Weddings who guided us throughout the entire process, specifically Simona, Junko, Jacopo, & Rosanna! Reflecting back on the journey, it was so easy to plan the perfect day all thanks to their professional help and patience. We would gladly recommend their services to anyone else who wishes to have a magical wedding in Italy.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Grazie Jamie for your super kind review! The team was thrilled to be part of your wedding day - you looked amazing! We are always honored to be chosen as wedding planners are grateful that you had a memorable experience working with us! Auguri!

    Amazing Wedding by DIW!

    We are so grateful to have chosen and worked with DIW for our wedding planning process! My husband and I had their amazing support each and every step of the way! As a bride, I had no stress on the wedding day since DIW (plus Rita, she was amazing! ) helped organize all of the details and allowed me to truly enjoy every moment of my day! Our wedding day was even better than we could have ever imagined, we loved our Villa that DIW helped us select. They really catered to our exact wants/needs for our event! We are just so grateful that we had their help, their suggestions, and their guidance in organizing everything and making our wedding day truly amazing. I would recommend DIW to anyone considering having a wedding in Italy!

    We had our DREAM wedding (everything we wanted and more!)

    1) First of all: super happy to have had a planner - it made our lives so much easier. We talked to multiple planners and ended up with DIW because we had the best click/fit, liked their proposed working style, they are fairly priced and they knew our proposed (& chosen) venue well (which was a nice bonus!)
    2) DIW ended up recommending all the vendors we worked with (some even exclusively) and we cannot stress enough that they were all TOP-NOTCH (flowers, food, music, photographer; H&MU etc.). Typically, they would share multiple options (across price ranges) and we then chose a vendor based on their experience, our style and/or budget which always made it pretty smooth (esp. to tick off "big planning items")
    3) In terms of working style, Jacopo & Junko really LISTENED to everything we said (even if needed "tougher" feedback). We had so many guests saying that the whole weekend was so "us", which is really a testament to the DIW experience, vision & planning. We did virtual calls in the planning process (every 6-8 weeks or more frequently when needed/closer to the wedding) & they were always very responsive. Note that we started planning early, meaning that sometimes it felt things were not moving "fast enough" BUT you really have to trust the system & the DIW planners because they know what they are doing! They also took every request with the same same level of passion and commitment which much appreciated!
    4) The absolute most wonderful part of DIW, was their role and support the 2-4 weeks leading up to the wedding where they design the final and super detailed timeline & your wedding program. This was so so so valuable to make everything come together and come to life. As a couple (and esp. bride :D), we could be 1000% relaxed the days prior and “the weekend of” because of the DIW preparation and presence. We were really able to enjoy every second/minute of the days and are so grateful for that.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Goodness Hannah, what a kind review. The team is so thrilled you had such a wonderful experience working with DIW and were able to really enjoy your celebration. That is and always be our number one goal for each couple we have the honor of serving!

    Grazie davvero!

    Rosanna, Jacopo and Junko

    Bespoke, unique, world class

    My husband and I got married in Ravello, in the Amalfi Coast in 2022 and the whole team at DIW were unbelievable. We had Mariana and Marilena looking after us and I can not fault them. They delivered our dream, detail by detail. All the vendors they recommended were top quality and it was a stress free and seamless process. Marilena was on the ground and met us 3 times, once for the initial venue sourcing then at the make up and hair trial and then on the day. We also love her too bits and she not only took care of us but of out guests too. Amazing! Thank you so much to the whole team xxx

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Hello Laura! Thank you so very much for taking the time to review your experience working with Distinctive Italy. I am thrilled that your wedding day was all you dreamed of and that working with our team was a pleasure. Our goal is to create wonderful memories that last a lifetime! All our best - the DIW Team!

    Pure magic! Look no further for the best Italian Wedding Planners.

    We are still in awe over the magical fairytale wedding that Distinctive Italy Weddings was able to execute. From day one, we loved how personable their whole team was. As Americans looking to get married in Italy, we had no idea where to begin. But after one call with Rosanna, it was an easy choice to decide to work with DIW. We had a wonderful experience working with our main wedding planners were Jacopo and Junko. They helped us narrow down locations and the most perfect venue with easy virtual venue tours. Throughout every step, they listened to us and understood our vision and helped translate that across every detail with each of our vendors. They were very prompt and advocated for our needs with their vendors, even when we had very particular requests, and they were persistent in making sure all the custom details were just right. We will admit, it was not always easy understanding the cultural differences of an Italian wedding, so having DIW was absolutely critical to navigate it all. When we arrived in Florence and our fairytale all unfolded, DIW had everything covered for the entire weekend so we could fully immerse ourselves in the moment. Our guests all raved that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. From the gorgeous custom florals, the delicious catering, the epic entertainment, and the most breathtaking venue, it was pure magic. After a year of planning with DIW, we were so sad to have it end... Jacopo truly cared about us and that is a rare quality to find! We will always have a special place in our hearts for the DIW team and highly recommend using DIW to make all your Italian wedding dreams come true!

    Couldn't Have Asked for More!

    Weddings are stressful, but working with Mariana of Distinctive Italy Weddings made our wedding as stress-free as you'll ever get. The vendors they chose are top notch. We had multiple events, and they were all executed flawlessly. The planning software they used was easy to use and made planning very efficient. Mariana was attentive, an excellent problem solver, extremely well-organized, and a real pleasure to work with.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Mariana had an amazing time planning your wedding! What an incredible 4 days of celebration. The decor was fantastic, the yacht excursion memorable; and through it all you were a true delight to work with. Thank you for entrusting such an important day to our team!

    Amazing Team

    Our partnership with DIW started way before the pandemic hit. We ended up postponing our wedding from May 2020 to May 2022.
    The entire DIW team especially Rosanna and Mariana were nothing but professional individuals. They responded to all our questions and concerns, gave feedback when needed and most of all they were our support system throughout. We will miss our zoom calls with Mariana just for updates. She is very personable and very optimistic. We highly recommend Distinctive Italy Weddings to anyone looking to celebrate their special day in Europe. The experience is absolutely breathtaking.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Maricar and Alfred! Thank you for your very kind review! You waited so patiently for your wedding to take place during Covid. We were so happy to finally see it happen! What a delightful couple to work with. Thank you again for your kind review.

    Great team!

    The Distinctive Italy team was invaluable in planning our wedding in Florence. They were always helpful, responsive, and profressional. They were also very flexible and understanding with the difficulties planning during a pandemic. We could not have done it without them!

    DIW was amazing!

    We absolutely loved our experience with DIW! We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid (we live in the US). They worked with us to move everything to the new date. Everything was perfect! Stefania made sure everything met our expectations.

    Distinctive Italy Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Ashton! You were troopers throughout all of the ups and downs of Covid and never gave up! We are so happy that your wedding day was what you hoped for. Thank you for choosing us to plan it!
