  It was indeed an Italian dream wedding!

  I got to know Carla through a common friend when I visited Italy for work. At that point, my husband and I liked the idea of having a destination wedding in Italy, but we were also hesitant about if we really wanted to go through all the preparations for the wedding remotely. Carla convinced me shortly after our first meet with an excellent tailored proposal that includes the venue, suppliers, and budget. She guided us in each step and made sure everything was on track. She is such a hardworking, responsive, and wonderful wedding planner who also helped us overcome all the cultural differences and local customs unfamiliar to us. Thanks to her efforts, we had everything ready almost two weeks before the big day. Then we were able to have all our time to receive our guests from all over the world without rush. We and all our guests were amazed by the wedding, the venue (vineyard with its own wine production and food menu), setting, lights, flowers, music, photographs, wedding cake, literally everything. She truly helped us realize an Italian dream wedding as her company's name already suggests. If you dream of a perfect wedding in Italy, Carla can definitely help you realize that dream.

  Dear Grazia, thank you so much for your nice words!
  It was my pleasure going through the organizational process with you and your husband, step by step, vendor by vendor, sharing ideas, and adding details, to make your nuptial celebrations precisely as you wanted. I am so happy about that! I wish you a wonderful life and look forward to seeing you in Bologna!
  Hugs,

  Absolutely Fantastic Experience

  Carla was incredibly organized and detail-oriented but managed to make the wedding planning process feel easy (even across different time zones). She helped us find wonderful local vendors and coordinated all of the details so the wedding day went smoothly. We highly recommend working with Carla as her careful planning allowed us to fully enjoy the experience.

  The perfect celebrant, highly recommend!

  The best celebrant we could possibly have wished for. Carla made our multilingual (English & Italian) wedding ceremony incredibly special. She is professional, engaging, and focuses on the details. She makes you feel confident that everything will go smoothly. We highly recommend her!

  Dear Alessia,
  thank you so much for your review!
  It was more than my pleasure doing my best to let your dreams come true. I have fantastic memories of the time spent together visiting locations (well, the first one was THE venue), tasting menus and wedding cake, having video calls to talk about the mood of your wedding, the graphics, music, flowers, and any aspect that was important for you. I am so happy that it was a stressless time for you and that on your wedding day you and all your guests enjoyed the whole time there. Thank you! Carla

  Carla is the BEST

  I have been working with Carla for a year now, planning my Bologna wedding for 2021. She has been the most professional person I have worked with. She also is very sweet, and understanding of all of our wishes. I am very excited to continue to work with her as we prepare for the wedding. Thank you Carla!

  Simply perfection!

  Carla and her expertise made our wedding day even better than what I imagined. She really had to take the lead with us because we had no idea what we wanted most of the time, then we would all of the sudden know exactly what we wanted. She was so patient and kind while maintaining perfect professionalism. I felt that she was personally involved as though she was a family member. She paid attention to detail when I thought it didn’t matter....but then the wedding day came and she proved her worth. Wow! Brava Carla. Giovanni and I will be forever grateful for your kindness, assistance and patience. Xoxoxo.

  Thank you so much Elizabetta! I am honored that you considered me as a family member and, as a matter of fact, that was exactly the way I felt! Indeed, I was personally involved!
  And I am very glad that you were happy about the result of my work.
  It was so nice working with you both to organize your wedding.
  You are a beautiful couple and I wish you a life full of love.
  A big, big hug.

  Everything went smoothly thanks to Carla!

  Carla did an amazing job coordinating our wedding. She was very responsive from the start and we got on straight away. She went above and beyond supporting me throughout the experience, giving me advice and reminding me about all the details I would have not even thought of if it wasn't for her. She accompanied us on many of our meetings with the vendors, ensuring they went smoothly and helping me ask all the right question. In the end, I considered Carla as a friend and so we asked her to be our Celebrant as well and she did an amazing job at that too and made it extremely special. The day went so so smoothly all thanks to Carla's organisation! I would highly recommend Carla as a wedding planner.

  Oh, Nara! Your words move me!
  Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
  It was so nice working with you! I will have wonderful memories of your wedding.
  And it was my pleasure and my honor to be your celebrant as well.
  It was beautiful being in front of you during your "I do".
  I wish you a shimmering and shining life and I hope to see you again.
  A big big hug.

  Carla is a great professional with a very flexible approach

  We were in desperate need for an interpreter for our wedding in Illasi. Carla brought much more than that, she contacted local authorities to build together a more personal wedding ceremony with the local municipality. We had a lot of contact online and met once before in Italy. Carla made us feel confident that everything would be fine and she really took ownership of the ceremony to guide it the way we wanted. Great experience!

  She made our wedding better than we have ever dreamt!

  I know, I had so many requirements! But Carla has worked "super-hard" and she made it! Even better than we expected. She was always smiling and continuously reassuring me. I am anxious, but she regularly informed me on every aspect. Carla is a real "maniac" of details, and she had a solution for every problem, a reply to every question. My guests were so happy. They felt welcome and comfortable. That was important to me. The rehearsal dinner was awesome! So happy to have chosen her.

  We couldn't have asked for more

  We hired Carla because, since the first time we met, she heard us. She perfectly understood our wishes, what we wanted for our wedding. So, after her proposals on the "atmosphere" we would have lived, we decided to follow her suggestions and go ahead. It was the best choice of our lives. Her taste is elegant and first-class, and she applied it in the whole wedding. Flowers, music, food, the whole design was superb. Her vendors' selection was superb. And she is a great planner! You can feel all the experience she has in organizing. She regularly informed us on where we were, pointing out if, what and when we had to do something. I have continued living my busy life until my wedding day. No stress, no fears. I warmly recommend Carla!

  Carla is essential!

  Carla combines the rare organisatinal skills of a very expert manager with the love for her job and the extreme care of the details. She was a crucial presence. Her work made us arrive to that day without stress and live that day as protagonists. Before chosing her we were worried, as we did not know Italy, how things work there. It was a dream but we were not sure. When we talked to her, she completely reassured us and she was totally right! She heard our dreams, our ideas and our needs, and she put them in practice. She supported us and our guests. It was really magic! I would certainly recommend her!

  Carla was so helpful!

  My fiance and I were considering a destination wedding in Italy and Carla was by far our top choice for a planner! She was very thorough, answered all of our questions, and was very organized and flexible given the time zone changes. Ultimately, we decided to get married in the US instead, and Carla was incredibly helpful and understanding in helping us make that decision. While wont unfortunately be able to work with Carla, we were so impressed by her clear expertise and professionalism!
