Erica Sent on 10/28/2024Simply the Best!
For anyone looking for a wedding planner in Italy; I cannot say enough about the incredible wedding planning we got from Marco of Romeo and Juliet Weddings.
We found Romeo and Juliet Weddings in April 2024 for an October 2024 wedding; with only 6 months to plan, we choose the A-Z “Planning” Package to include as many of Marco’s services as possible.
We had already secured a venue, Rocca di Cetona, a castle in a very small medieval town of Cetona. Marco had not worked in this area of Tuscany before and did a site visit and videotaped everything for us as he walked the castle and the property finding the perfect locations for the ceremony, happy hour, a formal outdoor dinner, and reception. He was basically starting from scratch with logistics and vendors and an extremely difficult villa to get to – an average car could fit and make it up to the entrance of the castle and the closest vendors were 1 ½ hours away.
Marco really listened to my daughter and her vision. He is so organized and knew exactly how to make her dream wedding a reality. He stayed in constant contact with us getting confirmations and alerting us to any obstacles / changes along the way. He is truly a seasoned professional with amazing work ethic and added a human touch with his thoughtfulness.
I cannot thank Marco enough and express my gratitude for the smoothness of the entire process but also to the last minute choices / changes that he made when we learned that we would have rain for our outdoor ceremony and dinner.
He went above and beyond the norm and helped me with some amazon purchases and stopping on his way to buy some other items that I was not able to bring with us or find in Italy. He also helped with planning and getting transportation secured for us to get from Rome to the Castle and back and not to mention the buses he got for us for our group excursions to Florence and Montepulciano.
Marco is so talented and has such creative and innovative ideas that he added to the making of a magical wedding. It was truly a fairytale wedding.
I highly recommend Marco and Romeo and Juliet Weddings for your wedding planner if you want a perfect and beautiful wedding in Italy.

My husband and I got married two weeks ago on Certaldo, Italy and I cannot express enough the appreciation we have for Marco for making our day the best and exceeding our expectations.
From start to finish of our wedding planning process, Marco was incredibly attentive, has a wonderful way of working and organizing all communications so questions/answers are easy to track and he made sure that no detail - no matter how small - was missed. On top of the planning style, Marco is just the kindest person to work with, he was patient with us and even dealt well with our busy-bee parents at the rehearsal! Marco also works with amazing vendors that he recommended along the way which made us feel more comfortable as we knew their work was good and reliable.
We loved working with Marco so much and would recommend him to anyone getting married in Italy. He will truly be able to turn your mood board/vision/ description, into the best day ever !!

Charlotte Sent on 09/25/2023Absolutely incredible from start to finish!
Wow. We could not have wished for a better wedding planner.
Marco was incredible from the start. He was so professional and knowledgable in the planning process, guiding us through our options and really got to know us as people. We would not have been able to plan the wedding of our dreams in Italy, from where we live in England, without his valuable guidance.
From helping with caterers, florists, music, transport, paperwork, Marco was so prompt to reply to our emails and queries. He has incredible attention to detail and produced useful financial spreadsheets and wedding programmes.
The wedding day was the best day of our lives. Marco seamlessly pulled everything together on the day and everything went exactly to plan. He is such a calm, professional, kind person who really listened to everything we wanted on the day.
We could not recommend Marco enough! -

Loretta made our wedding everything a bride and groom could dream of. She handled every aspect and detail of the big day so we did not have to think about anything but enjoying our wedding. Planning a wedding that took place in another country was easy and not stressful with Loretta's assistance. Loretta is professional, personable, and handled any problem that arose. She made our wedding the greatest day of our lives. We can’t thank her enough!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a coordinator. -

George Sent on 06/27/2023Marco @ Romeo & Juliet was absolutely amazing. 10/10!!!
We cannot recommend Marco and Romeo&Juliet weddings enough! He was absolutely amazing. He helped us plan our perfect elopement in Cinque Terre.
He was super responsive throughout the whole process and took care of everything. Marco made it very clear exactly what we needed to do with all the legalities in the UK and Italy. He also assisted with last minute requests such as booking taxis for guests.
His suggestions on photography & restaurants were absolutely perfect.
On the day he met us with our bouquet and buttonhole and very kindly set up the venue for us, and liaised with our photographer to ensure the best set up for photos.
Marco could not have done more for us, we couldn’t have picked a better wedding planner and we are eternally grateful for everything he has done.
*Price included bridal bouquet and buttonholes, planning and legalisation of documents in Italy* -

Nicola Sent on 06/27/2022Amazing day organised by an amazing team
We came across R&J weddings after reading a review from a wedding they had coordinated on the day. We arranged a skype call with Loretta and we immediately clicked. We loved her professionalism, dedication and attention to detail.
Over the next 18months she helped us plan the wedding of our dreams. She helped secure amazing suppliers, guided us though the legalities of getting married in Italy and having it legally recognised (we live in the UK) and gave great suggestions that we hadn't thought of.
Loretta made sure to reply to us in a timely manner and would touch base regularly to give updates. We both have extremely busy full time jobs so having a wedding planner that could liaise with suppliers directly, find us the best quotes and coordinate everything on the day was invaluable.
We're only sad we can't do it all again! -

Alexander Sent on 05/22/2019An experience that exceeded all of our expectations
We got in touch with Marco around September of 2018, for a wedding in May 2019. Initially we were nervous about possibly not having enough time, however Marco, right from the beginning, managed to calm our nerves and lay out a plan. Even before we "officially" hired him, he was happy to show us venues around Verona. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding we worked through a list of items that needed to be done, including the legal paperwork required. As we live in the middle east and both of us are from different nationalities this was not an easy task. Marco helped us to get through this paperwork, and even contacted embassies on our behalf. On the day itself, Marco was there to guide us and the guests throughout the day, but he managed to do so while being in the background. The experience was so smooth, that sometimes we didn't even notice him managing things. Marco was also our official translator during the ceremony. All of our guests got back to us with very positive feedback regarding the organization of the day. Quite a few had never experienced a wedding this well organized. -

Sandra Sent on 12/11/2018Wonderful Experience
Marco made planning my wedding in Italy from California such an unforgettable experience. I was able to focus on the exciting elements of wedding planning while he took care of all the communication, appointments, and scheduling. From meetings with the Monsignor and booking the Basilica to the smallest detail on my flower crown, Marco was there to help. When ever I emailed Marco with questions and concerns he responded promptly. Both my Husband and I were blown away with the service we received. Our wedding in Verona in one of the most beautiful Basilicas, was a dream come true. It was magical and whimsical, just like a fairytale. We are so grateful to have had Marco plan and guide us through the process, he helped our dream come true. -

Eri Sent on 11/28/2018Wonderful experience
After we got engaged and decided we were going to have a destination wedding in Italy I searched for a wedding planner specially for the advice on legal documents, etc. On a wedding blog I saw a beautiful wedding organized by Romeo and Juliet and also read the reviews on them so I got in contact immediately. Their answer was fast, Michela was so kind and also I liked that they could work with different type of budgets, that was a bonus! I was planning the wedding from my country so she helped us with the paperwork, choosing location for the town hall, bouquet, photographer and suggesting the wonderful location for the party. We communicated perfectly through email, whatsapp and skype.
Our wedding weekend was fantastic and the wedding day amazing!
Here are a few words on each thing they were in charge:
- Town hall: Michela gave us several options having in mind that we wanted something nice, within our budget and also that allowed a personalized ceremony. So Tivoli town hall was a great decision, not just because of the price but the place was GORGEOUS and the ceremony went great. The officiant was very charismatic, and the ceremony was also special to us because one of our friends sang and others had some words to share so it was very emotional.
There are some town halls where the ceremony has to be fast so I want to thank Michela for recommending a place that did not hurry us, allowed music, words, and time to take some pictures.
- Translator: Ludovico was very good as our translator for the ceremony, arrived on time and helped that some of our friends and family that did not speak Italian could understand everything.
- The bouquet: was exactly as I wanted it, when I saw it I was so happy! Great work, really! Also the boutonniere looked so nice.
- The photographer: Daniele Lanci was the best, he made us feel relax and knew all the nice spots to take our pictures. After the ceremony it started to rain but he made us feel calm and then it stop raining! Also we were happy because at the villa where the party was, it didn't rain so we could enjoy the party on the garden.
Now we have our wedding pictures and we love them!! He captured us, family, friends in such a natural and spontaneously way that I am so glad he was our photographer.
- Paperwork: Michela explain to us in a very easy and simple way everything we need for the civil wedding and helped us have everything on time. This was great because we weren't stress at all. She also booked our wedding date at the town hall with the first option we gave her for the wedding date and time we wanted.
Thank you very much Michela and Romeo and Juliet we love that you were part of our wedding planning process and I highly recommend them. So, if you are thinking of getting married in Italy, do it!! It's totally worth it, and I believe that Romeo and Juliet can organize the wedding in any part of Italy. -

Rebecca Sent on 11/02/2018Our wedding was perfect!
We are an Australian couple in our sixties, and we wanted a low key but elegant wedding in Verona. Marco was so helpful with getting us through the paperwork and everything went to plan despite a few challenges initially with the Italian Bureauocracy. Every supplier Marco recommended was outstanding, including the hairdressers, florist, wedding venue (Palazzo Ragione), reception and photographer. On the day, everything ran so smoothly that my husband, our guests and I just had a fabulous time with zero stress. The wedding was a perfect dream come true and we just cannot believe how beautiful the photos are. I rave about Marco because he is a very caring highly talented and empathetic man who made this perfect wedding day happen for us. Thank you Marco for organising our perfect wedding day! -

Abigail Sent on 11/02/2018We couldn't have done it without Marco!!
I cannot imagine a more magical wedding day! It went beyond our vision, and would not have been possible without Marco and Romeo & Juliet Weddings. Marco felt like a dear friend by the time we met in Rome and he guided us through every step of the way without a single stressful moment. To a person, whenever our family speaks of our wedding, they gush about Marco and how seamless and perfect every detail was - the flowers, hair/makeup artist, transportation, photographer, reception dinner, and all of the paperwork! "Everyone needs a Marco" has become a saying in our house - especially when planning the perfect Italian wedding! -

Jamie Sent on 06/30/2015One of the highlights of Romeo and Juliet Weddings is the value. I could not believe I got to have my dream wedding in Rome for around 3000 euros - that includes flowers, photography, planning services, hair and makeup, and dinner. Everything was beautiful, perfect, and went off without a hitch.
I highly recommend Romeo and Juliet if you are planning a wedding in Italy. -

We love Loretta!
From the moment that we first spoke to Loretta at Romeo&Juliet we felt comfortable that our wedding was in safe hands. Loretta has guided us through every step of the planning process and delivered us the most beautiful wedding in keeping with our vision and preferences.
In the 18 month lead up to the wedding, Loretta's organisation and communication have been incredible. As we have dealt with our busy day-to-day responsibilities with careers and lives back home in the UK she has kept us informed and on track, understood our dream and provided guidance as well as providing the critical interface with venues, vendors, caterers etc... on the day - faced with biblical thunderstorms, Loretta somehow managed to adjust plans to create something more special than we could have ever hoped for!
More importantly than all of the above, Loretta's lovely warm and personal style and persona have made us feel that our wedding truly matters to her as if she were part of the family. We will really miss you Loretta and thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for everything!! Xxx -

A beautiful evening in Roma with Romeo and Juliet Weddings
Getting married abroad can seem daunting when you first begin planning. But Marco, from the first moment he made contact with us, put us at ease.
It has been nearly two weeks since the wedding and there is one thing my husband and I have repeated to each other over and over again : there is no way we could have done this without Marco. He is worth his weight in gold.
And it’s true. Marco dealt with every single request and kept us updated at regular intervals. He managed to source the best vendors and ensured we got exactly what it was that we were looking for, including particulars such as: the stunning rooftop location overlooking Rome, a cellist to play ‘On an Evening in Roma’ and a wonderful deal on the wedding flowers.
Communication was consistently clear and Marco was always very kind, polite and friendly. He was there to oversee events on the day and it was clear that he is passionate and absolutely loves what he does.
The wedding itself was the best day of our lives. It ran seamlessly and at no point did we feel rushed or feel any pressure. Everything was taking care of. Marco thinks of things that probably wouldn’t even occur to you!
We genuinely cannot thank him enough for making our day perfect. I would recommend him to anybody looking to plan their romantic Italian wedding.
Grazie Mille Marco! xx -

The Best Wedding Planner
We want to give our wedding planner Marco more than 5 stars!
From the get go, he was extremely responsive, flexible and so knowledgeable! We are a couple from California and wanted a small wedding in Tuscany. Marco helped us finding the amazing venue, took care of hair and make up, flowers, photographer, musician, transportation, patisserie, wedding dinner reservation. Simply every detail was managed by him successfully.
In addition, he was extremely familiar with the process of getting legally married in Italy for Americans. He worked with our tight schedule to make all the necessary appointments, provided witnesses and documents.
We changed our minds about certain process and details numerous times, Marco was always flexible and accommodated our demands.
During the 10-month long preparation, Marco kept in touch regularly and updated us with the wedding program periodically. He made us feel important and he thought of details that we overlooked.
Last but not least, Romeo and Juliet's pricing is very competitive among the other Italian wedding planners. For the services we received, we think it is of great value.
Thank you Marco, Romeo and Juliet, for an unforgettable wedding in Tuscany! -
