Once in a Lifetime Experience with the Dream Team!
When my wife first brought up the idea of getting married in Italy, it seemed like an impossible feat. I had no clue how to even wrap my head around pulling off a wedding like this. If you are reading this review and feeling any apprehension about trying to plan a wedding like this (especially from far away), I highly encourage you to give Elizabeth a call. Working with Elizabeth & Ann is the best decision we could have possibly made. They made our dream a reality. Elizabeth was the ultimate partner during the process. She helped us think through every single detail, no matter how small. She communicated proactively & responded immediately, even when our responses were delayed. She advocated for us in every situation that arose, big or small. Reflecting back on our experience (3 events over the course of 3 days at 3 different venues!), every moment went off without a hitch. And when uncontrollable things popped up (like rain 2 minutes before the start of our ceremony), both Elizabeth & Ann were in the background making sure things went so smooth that it all felt like part of the plan from the beginning. It's amazing to think this was all a reality, especially planning the entire thing from the US with only one visit over the course of 2 days to the venue and with our vendors. Don't hesitate! Call Elizabeth & Ann now. It will be the best possible decision you can make to plan your dream wedding in Tuscany. Thank you so much for a magical experience!When my wife first brought up the idea of getting married in Italy, it seemed like an impossible feat.

We couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding!
We recently had our wedding in Florence and had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth, Anne and the entire OTW team. Elizabeth made the entire process easy and enjoyable for planning a destination wedding. She was extremely detail oriented and kept us on track throughout the entire planning process. She made our vision come to life, and we still can’t believe how truly beautiful and perfect our wedding day was.
With her decades of experience in wedding planning, we felt confident that she would think of everything to make sure our day was beautiful, and she definitely did. Everything was executed flawlessly from coordinating with vendors to managing the timeline for both the welcome event and the wedding day. We had an amazing time and were confident that she had everything under control so that we could enjoy just being present.
Since she has so much experience with weddings in Tuscany, she has lists of top vendors from photographers to hair to make up artists. She would send us a list of these vendors, and all we had to do was pick the one. We never had to worry about researching or reviews, and just got to focus on the fun part of picking all the details for our day.
When we visited before the wedding, she planned an entire day to visit the venue, meet the florist, do a menu tasting, and coordinate a hair and make up trial. We so appreciated all of the time and effort she took to walk us through all parts of the planning.

Original Tuscan Weddings planned our dream wedding!
Elizabeth at Original Tuscan Wedding is amazing! We are so happy we found her as our wedding planner and we would highly recommend her to anyone planning a destination wedding in Italy. She was incredibly responsive and helpful. She was always willing to jump on a zoom call to discuss and provided thorough answers to my many questions. We would have never found our venue without her. On the actual wedding day (and at the welcome dinner), she was so calm and organized. I felt so relaxed the entire time because I knew she had everything handled. We are so incredibly thankful we had Original Tuscan Wedding as our planners.Elizabeth at Original Tuscan Wedding is amazing!

Very organized and efficient!
OTW made planning nearly every aspect of our destination wedding in Tuscany a breeze! Even through the pandemic and one postponement, Elizabeth was always there to help support our decisions and answer any questions. Not only did she help us plan the wedding day, but several events surrounding to the wedding as well! All of her vendor connections are top notch and we were so thrilled with the outcome of our special day!OTW made planning nearly every aspect of our destination wedding in Tuscany a breeze!

The most magical, organized elopement with Original Tuscan Wedding
Wow, just wow! We eloped in Tuscany in September 2023, and Original Tuscan Wedding went above and beyond to make our wedding such a beautiful, memorable day. We originally decided on OTW because of how quickly Elizabeth replied to our initial inquiries and sent us details on pricing, locations, etc. — this was the best decision, because she was just as organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process. My husband and I frequently joked we had next to no wedding stress because Elizabeth was so efficient in taking care of everything for us. We really liked her elopement “package” options, which included trusted vendors, help searching for a venue, clear add-on options, and more. Everything was so painless, which was especially nice since we were located in Canada and couldn’t physically visit during covid lockdowns. It was also lovely that Elizabeth was our officiant as she got to know us throughout the experience, making the ceremony very intimate.
Our actual wedding day went seamlessly, largely due to Elizabeth coordinating everything while my husband and I focused on getting ready and enjoying the moment. I felt like the flowers, arch, ceremony setup, table, and photographer just magically materialized because I didn’t have to think of any of it! My biggest fear with eloping was that I would feel “alone” in moments you would usually have a bridesmaid or parent (stuff like greeting the photographer, doing up your dress, checking for stuff in your teeth), but Elizabeth filled that role perfectly. She was always available to help and usually already a few steps ahead of us. One good (and funny) example was when I noticed one flower in my bouquet I didn’t love. It wasn’t a big deal, so I just pulled it out and thought no one noticed. But I guess Elizabeth saw I had removed it and headed straight back to remove the same flower from the arch before I walked down the aisle. Her attention to detail was phenomenal.
Overall, we cannot recommend Original Tuscan Wedding and Elizabeth enough! We really felt like she made our wedding vision come to life and truly cared about making it special. We also felt like the pricing was extremely reasonable and transparent. If you’re on the fence about eloping, this is your sign to reach out to OTW now!

Amazing Wedding Planning Team!
The Original Tuscan Wedding Team (Ann and Elizabeth), were truly incredible and it's clear they have their business totally dialed in. We would highly recommend them to anyone. We planned our destination wedding from CA and couldn't have asked for a more responsive (amazing on email communication), helpful, flexible (our wedding was postponed twice due to the pandemic), and kind wedding planning duo. We really couldn't have done this without them, especially during a time when planning a wedding was very tricky with the current state of the world. Elizabeth and Ann kept us sane and reassured us throughout the 2+ years we were in touch with them and we were SO thankful for their partnership and expertise. After emailing and communicating back and forth for 2+ years, we really got to know them!
It is apparent that they are well respected in Tuscany in their industry. We hosted several events during our wedding week and Elizabeth helped make each event/activity seamless. Throughout the planning process, they answered all of our many questions and emails quickly and made us feel really comfortable with all of the details of our wedding and wedding events while planning from across the world. They have a great list of vendors, who were all so talented and helped give us our dream wedding in the countryside of Siena. All of the vendors exceeded our expectations. They also had wonderful venue suggestions, which we ended up going with one of their suggestions and fell in love with the place. Everything OTW helped us with was above and beyond.
Every detail was pure magic and we honestly were blown away by how perfect each event was. We felt so relaxed on our wedding day and it was all thanks to OTW and the wonderful vendors they referred us to. The week in Siena was one of the best of our lives.

Perfect Fairytale Wedding
I always dreamed of having my wedding in Italy and if it wasn’t for Original Tuscan Wedding, Elizabeth, and Ann I truly don’t think it would have ever happened. I messaged many wedding planners in Italy that warned me about my budget and the amount of guests I planned to have- leading me down a path of doubt. Finding Original Tuscan Weddings was a breath of fresh air and gave me hope for my dream wedding. Right away Elizabeth made me feel like everything was possible and I couldn’t sign their contract fast enough! I am American and since Elizabeth is originally from the states this gave me a lot of confidence that we would be able to easily communicate and she would know my expectations. Elizabeth helped me select the perfect venue and an amazing vineyard for all of my guests stay together. She helped us plan a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, a church ceremony and a dream wedding reception. This was also in the middle of the pandemic, and Elizabeth kept me updated with everything happening in Italy at the time. She takes care of everything and walks you through every step so you never feel overwhelmed. She also helped me and my friends set up incredible smaller parties in Florence for a few nights before our wedding. She knows it all! Rooftop parties, group dinners, and winery tours... all the best places you can be Florence. Each event Elizabeth helped me plan was unforgettable and my friends and family would say the same. We communicated mainly through email and a few zoom calls. Elizabeth was patient and detailed. The emails were always responded to very quickly and no question was too big or small. Elizabeth went above and beyond to solve any and every issue that came up. She is an absolute expert in her profession. The vendors she suggested from the catering, to the flowers, photography, transportation, music, makeup etc are all top notch. The best of the best vendors! I was blown away with each and every company. Everyone was incredible to work with. The process was organized and Elizabeth slowly guided us through all the decisions that needed to be made. By the time the wedding came there was nothing left to worry about because everything was in place. I cannot put into words how lucky I feel to have found Original Tuscan Wedding. My family and friends cannot stop saying how amazing and perfect everything was and I always give the credit to OTW. Each and every moment is a memory I wish to hold onto forever. Original Tuscan Wedding is professional, understanding, easy to work with, supportive, knowledgable and amazing at what they do. They will be the voice of reason to help you stay on budget but also make sure you get the wedding of your dreams. I lived the wedding of my dreams and it’s all thanks to OTW!

Best of the best
OTW was easily one of the best decisions I made about my wedding. I initially booked everything in February 2020 and they made everything a breeze - responsive, informative, up front about prices, and listened to what I wanted to make it happen. COVID happened and we had to reschedule 4 times (FOUR!!!) over the course of two years and each time OTW was more than happy to help and try again to make our dreams come true. We didn’t end up getting married in Italy, but they were flexible and creative and ended up giving us the best honeymoon a couple could ask for. On top of details, organized, great suggestions, they work with fantastic vendors, and you can’t go wrong. I would choose them again every time.OTW was easily one of the best decisions I made about my wedding.

Magical Tuscan Wedding
Elizabeth, Ann and the OTW team were incredibly wonderful throughout our entire wedding planning process -- we highly recommend them! They guided us through planning an overseas wedding amidst complex and ever-changing COVID regulations and helped provide a safe, memorable experience to our guests from different locations around the world. We appreciated their responsiveness to emails, professionalism, their handling all the details amidst my husband and my busy work schedules, and most importantly their creativity in bringing the vision of our Italian wedding to life.

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.Planning a wedding is never an easy task but especially when it is a destination wedding.

Reassuring and relaxed
Our wedding planners were amazing. We mainly dealt with Elizabeth who was professional, helpful, organised and listened to what we wanted. She gave good advice for us to make important decisions about our big day. Thank you for helping us with our dream wedding.Our wedding planners were amazing.

Could not imagine better planners!
We spent a year and a half planning a 100 person wedding in Florence from our home in Toronto, Canada. Elizabeth and Ann were by far the best decision we made - they were professional and responsive but also took immense care to make the day special for us, understand our vision (even if we hadn't defined it completely) and make the day right for us and our guests. Our guests were blown away by the event, as were we! Two months post wedding, we really miss working on a regular basis with the OTW team and could not recommend them more highly.We spent a year and a half planning a 100 person wedding in Florence from our home in Toronto, Canada. Elizabeth and Ann were by far the best decision we made - they were professional and responsive but also took immense care to make the day special for us, understand our vision (even if we hadn't defined it completely) and make the day right for us and our guests. Our guests were blown away by the event, as were we! Two months post wedding, we really miss working on a regular basis with the OTW team and could not recommend them more highly. -

An amazing team. The only choice for Tuscany
Elizabeth and Ann were amazing!
When we first went to Tuscany, in October for a wedding the following May, they showed us some great venues, including the one we chose. The planning was methodical, and they know exactly who to use for music, lights, flowers and catering. The only thing they can't control is the weather, but there was a plan for that too, although we hardly needed it.
In the end, our wedding was perfect. We used OTW as they had also done the wedding for 3 of our friends previously, and were delighted how it all turned outElizabeth and Ann were amazing!

Our Perfect Wedding
Elizabeth & Ann were amazing to work with, very communicative and quick to respond. They also work with great suppliers and were able to give us so much advice as to what would work and what wouldn't. We shared our ideas and vision for our wedding and they were able to execute it beyond what we had imagined creating the perfect day for us whilst also minimising the stress! It was lovely to also have Elizabeth act as the interpreter for our wedding ceremony.Elizabeth & Ann were amazing to work with, very communicative and quick to respond.

Just brilliant!
We initially chose OTW for a number of reasons:
1. They have experience with beautiful venues, including one which was perfect for us.
2. No language barrier! when you are putting your trust in others to help your wedding together, communication is key!
What we didn't realise in advance but learnt on our wedding day was that OTW work with the most amazing suppliers. We hadn't really realised but this is so important - On our wedding day the weather was against us but fortunately the professional staff we had looking after us (from caterer, to florist, to photographer and everyone in between), made everything stress-free. OTW had suggested these companies based on their prior experience and we are so grateful they did!We initially chose OTW for a number of reasons:

OTW made our wedding easy!
Having a destination wedding in Italy when you live in California and don't plan to visit before the wedding is incredibly hard and stressful. But Ann and Elizabeth helped us through every step and helped our wedding be exactly what we dreamed of. Thank you, Elizabeth & Ann so much!!Having a destination wedding in Italy when you live in California and don't plan to visit before the wedding is incredibly hard and stressful.

Elizabeth and Ann did an amazing job making our dream wedding a reality! Like many couples planning a wedding from abroad, we were skeptical about hiring a wedding planner and worried our ideas wouldn't translate exactly how we wanted come the wedding day. We initially chose Elizabeth and Ann as our wedding planners because they are native English speakers and because of their numerous positive reviews. With our wedding having taken place two weeks ago, I cannot rate them lower than 5 stars! They maintained excellent communication with us throughout the last year and a half of planning. Not only did they send reminders and to-do lists, they also made sure to answer our hundreds of e-mails in lightning speed fashion. When we felt we needed to speak with them, they were kind enough to set up Skype conversations at a time convenient for us. With regards to their vendors, we cannot fault a single one. Our venue, Villa le Fontanelle, was nothing short of amazing. Our photographers, Rossini, were an absolute pleasure to work with. Our makeup and hairstylist, Pamela, was incredibly sweet, patient, and talented. The food provided by Roland's Catering was out of this world! Our folk duo played amazingly and our soprano singer left us in awe. The flower arrangements and bouquets from Violamalva were stunning. The Monsignore that married us at the gorgeous San Filippo Neri was very kind! Elizabeth and Ann went as far as to make my wish of having a donkey present during cocktail hour a reality! They handled all of the paperwork required for a Catholic wedding and created helpful spreadsheets that tracked our payments and balances. On the actual wedding day, they played a HUGE role in making everything flow as timely and seamless as possible. Our wedding day FAR exceeded our expectations as well as those of our family and friends, and we have Elizabeth and Ann to thank!

the most amazing wedding planners of all time
I honestly dont know where to start- Originally our wedding was planned for 2020 in italy, but due to covid that could not happen. Elizabeth and Ann took care of ALL the wedding changes and rescheduling with every single vendor. The process was completely seamless for us. We were finally able to have our wedding in Tuscany in August of 2022. Every single detail was perfect, not one thing was missed. They even made sure our 10 month old son was taken care of and had a pack n play to sleep at the venue.
Our guests are still talking about our wedding to this day! We wish we could re live it over and over and we know that none of it would have been possible without Elizabeth and Ann guiding us in the right direction every step of the way. They work with all of the top vendors in italy, you honestly can not go wrong. They are worth every single penny!!!I honestly dont know where to start- Originally our wedding was planned for 2020 in italy, but due to covid that could not happen.
