Eric Sent on 05/14/2022Francesca the Fabulous
Planning a wedding from half a world away may sound extra stressful and challenging, but not when you have Francesca of Efffetti Wedding Planners on your team.
My wife and I both agree that working with Francesca to plan our dream destination wedding in Tuscany turned out to be even easier than if we were to plan one here in the USA. We only had to explain to her our vison, budget, and expected headcount - and she was able to make things so simple for us by drawing on her extensive network of incredible vendors and venues to accomplish everything we could have hoped for.
Having not seen our venue, tasted our menu, or even spoke to most of our vendors (DJ, Photographer, Videographer, Florist....etc) We admittedly did not know what all we could expect. What resulted was the best 4 days of our lives (so far) - Francesca, acting as our eyes, ears, and mouth (neither me nor my wife speak Italian) organized for us a reception dinner in Siena, a welcome party and ceremony/reception at our rented villa that exceeded our wildest dreams and imagination. All of our guests are still raving about how it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We still have not come back down to earth.
Thank you Francesca! We literally could not have done it without you!

Millie Sent on 04/18/2025Absolutely amazing!
We had Francesca as our celebrant for the day as well as our co-ordinator, and we honestly couldn't have done it without her! She had given us so much support over the 18 months of planning & then on the day she really made us feel like we had nothing to worry about, she sorted everything! Having such a positive, kind and friendly person around made us feel so calm and we truly had the best day of our entire lives, and none of it would have been possible without her and the team. Truly amazing and we cannot thank them enough! -

Daniel Sent on 11/21/2024Our dream wedding bought to life
Francina was absolutely exceptional and exceeded all our expectations. We dreamed of having a stunning Italian wedding but had no idea how to bring all the pieces together. Francina’s expertise, extensive network, and impeccable organizational skills turned our vision into reality. What stood out the most was her honesty—she offered candid opinions and advice, which were invaluable to us throughout the planning process.
She was incredibly accessible, always making time for catch-ups, keeping us updated on progress, and meticulously outlining next steps and timelines. Her keen attention to detail helped us stay on track with both our plans and budget, which was a huge relief.
What truly set Francina apart, though, was the personal connection we felt with her. We spoke to several planners before choosing Francina and Effetti, but from the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made the experience all the more special. As a legal translator, she was even able to officiate our ceremony, which added a unique and heartfelt touch to our day.
Francina, we cannot thank you enough for making our dream wedding a reality. For anyone considering working with her—don’t hesitate. Choosing Francina will be one of the best decisions you make for your big day!

Stefan Sent on 10/21/2024An amazing wedding
We had an amazing wedding at Petroio and Francina was absolutely fantastic. She not only helped us with a lot of logistics for our guests outside the actual wedding day but the wedding itself was magical. Everything was not only flawless but exceeded our expectations. Our family is still talking about the day. The atmosphere was just incredible and we will forever grateful for Francina’s tireless work. Thank you so much! -

Thais Sent on 10/21/2024Extremely professional and caring planner!
We absolutely love Francesca! She was truly a blessing throughout our wedding planning journey. We had a great feeling about her from the beginning. She is always kind, attentive, and always made us feel like we were her top priority. Her ability to stay calm and composed while handling every detail with such care is incredible. She always brought amazing ideas and solutions to any issues that would arise. She also understood exactly the vision I had for my wedding. Francesca ensured that everything turned out great. But more than just a talented planner, she brought a warmth and positive energy that made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. I’ll forever be grateful for her support and how much heart she put into making our special day so amazing. I can’t recommend her enough! -

Tiziana Sent on 10/17/2024The Kindness and professionalism that everyone deserves to have 🌸🌼🌺
My daughter got married on Saturday, 22.07.2023 in Rome, and living in Zurich, we relied on Francesca who followed all the bureaucratic formalities and contacts with the various vendors and was always willing to clear up any doubts in very few minutes. On the wedding day she was our guardian angel and followed everything step by step.
Francesca is everything I like in a woman, she is empathetic but firm in advising you if you are going astray, she is decisive and confident with class, she is ready to solve unexpected problems without losing heart. All the advice she gave my daughter turned out to be sound, and all the vendors she recommended were outstanding! I recommend her from the bottom of my heart to those who would like to plan a destination wedding and those who simply want to get to their wedding day without having any worries.
Franci we love you.
Tiziana, Cheyne, Alissa, Nicole&Patrick💪🇮🇹🇺🇸🇨🇭🇨🇦🥂🍾❤️🌺❤️🌺❤️🌺 -

Lucy Sent on 09/01/2022Lovely Francesca
We wanted an intimate ceremony in Rome that was personal and poignant and Francesca certainly delivered. Me and my husband answered the questions Francesca asked and transformed the information into a beautiful ceremony script with some beautiful readings suggestions to choose from too. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Francesca to anyone! -

Francesca was amazing thru the whole process! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for making our special occasion even more special. The wedding and the whole two days were amazing, it was everything we had imagined and more. We are still smiling at the memories. We loved working with you and you did an amazing job with every single detail. Thank you for always responding to our crazy emails and requests.
Everybody had a great time, our families were very pleased and very impressed with the quality of your work, they could not be happier. So, THANK YOU!! It was a pleasure working with you! -

We were very happy to have Francesca as our celebrant. Before the wedding day, she guided throughout the whole process to make sure that our ceremony isn't boring, too long or badly organised. She drafted a very beautiful speech for us and was very supportive to take our suggestions on board. On the day she was great - her experience showed on the day as she was calm and organised. Her speech was clear and the ceremony felt like a breeze. The guests enjoyed it as much as we did. Everything went smoothly on the day and we are very grateful for that!
Thank you! -

Amanda Sent on 11/05/2021Francesca is an absolute dream to work with!
We met Francesca over a Skype call and immediately clicked! It felt like we had known each other for years. Francesca helped us plan our ceremony quickly and easily, which was so helpful since we are based in California planning a wedding in Italy. My now-husband and I eloped so it was just the two of us and Francesca made our ceremony so special with her readings ...and perfect English! She even spoke in Italian throughout the ceremony by our request. We could not have asked for a better officiant for our special day in Lake Como, Italy. I highly recommend Francesca to create a warm-hearted ceremony for any size wedding - large or small. Thank you! -

Arianna Sent on 11/03/2021Incredible Experience!
We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Francesca! We are based in the United States, so planning our overseas elopement was not always easy between emails, calls and Zoom sessions. But everything with Francesca was completely smooth, easy and effortless from the beginning. She is extremely organized and made the process truly enjoyable. We felt so comfortable with Francesca, and the script she wrote for our ceremony really captured us as a couple. She was even more impressive in person when we finally met - elegant, soft spoken and arrived with plenty of time. We even went home with a beautiful certificate that we will keep forever. Grazie mille Francesca!! -

Cristina Sent on 09/21/2020An absolute joy to work with
Francesca and her team are nothing short of excellent- professional, timely, organized, and incredibly personable.
Planning a wedding from across the world (South Carolina, USA) and leaving your big day in a stranger's hands can be a scary and daunting decision, but Francesca immediately helped calm our nerves -and quickly became far from a stranger. Her responsiveness, patience, and thoroughness were incredibly reassuring right from the start, and we knew right off the bat that we had made the right decision. She is committed to making sure that your day is exactly as you have envisioned it, and that it is as stress-free of an experience as possible for the couple.
While we unfortunately had to cancel our Tuscan wedding due to COVID-19, Francesca made every step of the planning process up until that point completely enjoyable- we only wish we could have experienced the finished product. Not only was she compassionate and understanding of our situation, but she even worked with us and our vendors to recoup some of our deposits to help minimize our losses.
Overall, I cannot recommend Efffetti Wedding Planners enough- if you're looking for a planner who you can fully trust to plan and execute your destination wedding, this is the team for you. -

Francesca is professional, personal and passionate about what she does. She has a huge amount of knowledge and experience in the Wedding Industry, and is super talented in what she does. Her attention to detail exceeded our expectations. She works with suppliers of the highest quality so you know you are in good hands. Highly recommended. -

Rachel Sent on 08/09/2019Absolutely Incredible Planner
I don’t even know where to begin! Francesca has been beyond incredible from start to finish. I don’t know what we would have done if we hadn’t found her. She knew exactly what we wanted our wedding to be and she were one step ahead of us every time! For example - days before the wedding I decided I wanted menus printed for the tables. I emailed her about it (late at night) and she replied immediately to say she’d already had them printed. The woman knows what you want before you do! It could have been so stressful but she made it so easy. The night before the wedding we discovered an undisclosed vegetarian - I text Francesca (again late at night) and she dealt with it instantly. Nothing is too much bother for her and nothing goes wrong on her watch. All of the suppliers were perfect - the food was stunning as was the pizza the night before, the makeup was exactly what I wanted for me and the bridesmaids, the music was fabulous and the flowers were just beautiful. There is no way we would have found those people on our own, and I doubt anything we did find would have been anywhere near as good. And the ceremony she officiated was beautiful! Everything she touches turns to magic. I am so overwhelmed by how incredible it was, and a huge part of that is down to Francesca. I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Italy, especially if like us you’re from another country and don’t speak the language (incidentally, Francesca speaks perfect English). She is organised, is full of fantastic ideas, and above all else is a genuinely lovely person! So glad we found her. -

Nancy Sent on 07/30/2019Amazing wedding planner!!!!!!!!
From the first time I spoke to Francesca, it felt comfortable. Even though we were a very small wedding with only eight of us, Francesca made sure that every detail was looked after and we had the wedding that we envisioned. One of the things that swayed us to hire Francesca was the ability to wade through the requirements for getting married in Italy. Everything she sent me was easy to understand and even sent me calendar reminders of when items needed to be done! Thank you Francesca for all your help. Douglas and I appreciated it and it was an amazing, wonderful, special day. You definitely are a badass miracle maker! -

We had the most amazing wedding and experience getting married in Volterra, Tuscany. Bonnie our wedding planner was absolutely amazing and catered for our every need. We were quite possibly extremely annoying at times and she was always lovely! We are still in touch and our dogs are in a long distance relationship! Thank you so much :) -

Tuscan wedding
Francesca was kind hearted, patient and helpful. With her help we were able to have the wedding we wished for. Due to Covid we had to postpone our wedding twice and Francesca organized all contracts new and took all of the stress from us.
On the night before the wedding she organized a Pizza night which was absolutely beautiful and on our wedding it seemed like she was everywhere at the same time which made the day go smooth and without problems. We felt very lucky to have found her and to have had Francesca on our side during the preparation of the wedding and the day itself.
Thanks a milllion for everything Francesca. Lots of love Sina & Jace -
