Priscilla Sent on 10/24/2023Serena makes your wedding dreams come true!
Serena and Klajdi were the best wedding planners a bride could ask for. I was very nervous about planning a destination wedding but after vetting many wedding planners on weddingwire, decided to go with Serena due to her rave reviews and her partnership with a professional sommelier (Klajdi). For our wedding, I wanted to prioritize great food and drinks and so I chose Serena because she and her partner seemed like experts in this field having worked in hospitality and having their own private tour company. When the wedding weekend came (3 days of events!), they proved invaluable. The food and drinks were out of this world, beyond what we ever expected (and better than what we tried at the tasting), and at a value that you could never get in the US. Our friends and family continue to rave at how incredible the food and wines were. Outside of that, Serena was so easy to work with since she came with a full set of amazing vendor recommendations. Our photographer, MUA, DJ, caterer, private chef, florist, and venue were absolutely professional, delivered beyond expectations, and fit within our budget. Her team was seamless and she took all the stress out of everything for our wedding weekend. Our wedding looked like exactly like my Pinterest vision board (it was unreal!) thanks to her work. Besides that, Serena and Klajdi are just super fun people to work and hang out with. Highly recommend her services!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Hi Priscilla, we could not have asked for a nicer and sweeter couple to work with! You and Brian made our job easy and it was great planning your dream wedding weekend in Tuscany with you. I truly appreciate that the planning process was easy for you, because for us it is important that not only the wedding, but also the whole planning with us is relaxed and stress-free. And a huge thanks for your kind words about food and wine quality, it means we delivered what we had promised, and this is the best reward for us - especially because we want all our couples and their guests to have access to the real flavors of Tuscany! A big hug from Klajdi and I! -

Kristen S. Sent on 10/19/2023Amazing experience! Would highly recommend!
I hired Serena as my wedding planner for a destination wedding in Florence, Italy. I interviewed 6-7 wedding planners and she stood out among all of them. I cannot recommend her enough!! We live in the USA and the process was so easy to plan a destination wedding with her. Serena is very great with her communication, timeliness, and organization. I had no hiccups or anything on the day of the wedding because Serena was so prepared. I continue to get compliments from our wedding guests at how well organized everything was. If you are looking for a wedding planner in Tuscany, please reach out to Serena. You won't regret it!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Hi Kristen! It's such a joy to read these kind words, as it was a real pleasure to work with you and Ted! I am so happy the day went like a breeze and guests still talk about it - the best reward for all the planning and the supervision on the day! a big thanks for choosing me and hope you stay in touch! -

Amazing wedding planner!
We worked with Serena and Klajdi for our 70 person wedding in Tuscany. Serena was so helpful from the beginning. First she helped us find a wedding venue that was suited for our needs, and adapted/adjusted as we made changes to our plans along the way. Then we went out to Italy for a visit with vendors and Serena planned everything in to a quick two day stint. We had a beautiful wedding with three days of events which Serena and Klajdi helped plan. We had a pizza party on Friday night with delicious wines sourced by Klajdi, a beautiful church ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on Saturday, then recovered Sunday with our guests by the pool enjoying a panini truck.
We and our guests had a wonderful weekend filled with amazing and authentic Italian food and wine. Thank you so, so much for your help in making everything come together beautifully!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thanks Katya, Klajdi and I are so happy that your wedding weekend went so well! We love to arrange beautiful celebrations, that always match couples' styles, and each time we hear that we nailed it means so much for us - a heartfelt thank you for choosing us and a big hug from us to you. -

Above & Beyond Every Expectation!
Serena is an absolute rockstar when it comes to pulling off the wedding of every girls dreams. Being a couple from the US, we did not know where to begin with our destination wedding in Tuscany but between Serena and Klajdi’s extensive knowledge of the area, vendors, food and especially the wine they made the process seamless from start to finish. They were there every day of our 4 day wedding weekend- planned the welcome dinner, wedding, pool party and a vineyard tour. All were absolutely amazing! They are truly the dream team and we cannot not recommend their services enough.Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much Jessica an Joe for having us in your joyful celebration! It was such fun to plan your wedding weekend, and even more to meet your families and friends during the happenings. The look in your eyes and everyone's smiles were a big reward for us, and we are very happy that it all went great! Big hug from Tuscany and hope to see you here again some time soon! -

Best wedding planners in Tuscany!
Working with Tuscan Tours & Weddings was the best thing we could have done for our wedding weekend. We worked with Serena and Klajdi for almost a full year leading up to our wedding - inclusive of many calls, emails, and texts. They helped us plan a 3-day event for 90 guests, filled with brunch, wine tasting, two dinners, gelato cart....not to mention the ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception that were part of the actual wedding!
Many of our guests have said this is the best wedding they've ever been to, and we know a big part of that is all the planning and organizing that they did. Throughout the 3 days, we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that Serena and Klajdi were on the ground managing the various vendors and setups.
The weekend truly exceeded our expectations and we cannot thank Serena and Klajdi enough for their services!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thanks Janis for your kind words! We truly appreciate them as we put our hearts in what we do. We loved working together from the first call to the last goodbye, to ensure that every moment of the celebration was going to be exactly the way you dreamed. It was great for us to arrange your beautiful 3-day wedding, and to feel part of the love and joy that was spread during the weekend. Thank you for choosing us! Hugs from Tuscany! -

BEST Wedding Planner in Italy!!
Tuscan Tours and Weddings was the best decision we made during our wedding planning journey! Serena was everything I could have asked for in a wedding planner - communicative, responsive, attentive to detail, easy to work with, great with our guests, amazing with vendors, truly everything we could have asked for and more!!
As an event planner, I had some pretty wild dreams and Serena helped mold my dreams into a fairy tale vision and made them all come true, and then some. Her partnership with Klajdi truly brought together the best of Tuscany had to offer, providing our guests with a truly one of a kind experience they will be talking about for years.
We were able to truly enjoy our wedding weekend and all of our events without any concerns thanks to Serena. We were able to spend time with our guests, never had to worry about or manage vendors and were able to savor every minute of our long weekend. Even with unplanned rain and the need to revert to plan B with 100 guests, there was never a detail unconsidered. Our guests never had any clue we were even in our plan B location. I can’t say enough amazing things about Tuscan Tours and Weddings! Hiring them for your destination wedding will truly enhance your wedding experience for both you and your guests!!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Laura, your words describe so well the wedding planning journey we had together. Klajdi and I welcomed your visits with great excitement and feel we made new friends. I loved working with you to plan all that you had been dreaming of, even all the additional and more extravagant details! Hope our paths will cross again in the future and all the best to you and Billy. -

Gabriella C. Sent on 12/02/2022My dream wedding brought to life! Thank you Serena
I found Serena on Wedding Wire, and after interviewing 3 wedding planners, decided to work with her. From the beginning, we aligned on vision & budget and got to work. She found me vendors within my price range, and executing on my vision perfectly. We had three days of events that Serena brought to life. When I look at my pinterest board & compare it to our big day, it is SPOT ON. Throughout the process, we exchanged many emails and aligned on even the smallest of details... things I would've gone insane doing myself & she helped me get through them seamlessly. Even the day of, the weather didn't work according to our original plan and although I was bummed, she made sure the plan B was executed flawlessly and our guests had an amazing time. On top of Serena's attention to detail, we had Kladji to assist with all things wine & food. He came to our food tasting & hand-paired each wine to the dish as he felt was best. During our wedding dinner, we had him give a quick speech to let our guests know the thought that went into picking each wine to the dishes & they thoroughly enjoyed understanding that level of intention. The day after our wedding Kladji also hosted a wine tasting/lesson for our guests, which was so fun. All in all, I could go on forever... Thank you Serena & Kladji! You made our dream wedding come true.Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Gabby it was great to meet you and create with your such wonderful memories! From the first moment we met online to the time you visited Tuscany to try the food and see us and a few vendors, everything went like a breeze and so fast and easy that when the time came, I could not believe it was really happening already, and it was sooo beautiful! Thanks for your appreciation of my planning skills and of Klajdi's expertise on wines and food, I still remember everyone's excited face during the wine tasting. Again thanks and hope to see you and your beautiful family in Italy again! -

We can't thank Serena enough for helping plan our destination wedding in Italy. Her knowledge, experience and genuine interest in making our day special, made wedding planning stress free! From the beginning she was extremely responsive and continued to communicate regularly over the year and a half of planning. Her professionalism and the relationships she's built with local vendors helped bring our inspiration photos to life - we had the best vendors! Throughout our stay, Serena was on site for each event to make sure everything went smoothly. Serena and her partner Klajdi were wonderful - their kindness, friendly conversation and patience were felt by our entire family. We loved Serena so much she even served as our ceremony officiant and tour guide in Florence. And we spent a day with Klajdi visiting some amazing wineries! We can't wait to visit them both next time we're in Italy! We highly recommend booking with Tuscan Tours and Weddings for your wedding planning needs!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thank you for your beautiful words, it was such a joy to see you two get married in Tuscany this September. We loved working with you during planning and over the wedding weekend, and cannot but wish you all the best guys!!! -

Kate D. Sent on 12/02/2022Best of the best!
Serena was an absolute dream to work with. She is very communicative, prompt and kept me on task! She has tons of contacts within the industry and can make anything a reality. From pdfs of properties to table settings and flower vision boards— she made us feel confident and relaxed from thousands of miles away. When wedding week finally arrived Serena and Klajdi were so kind and attentive. I am particular about presentation and appearances and would absolutely blindly trust Serena to plan anything from top to bottom. She is detail oriented, has great taste and a calming demeanor on top of it all. Every dream and expectation we had was wildly surpassed. Let’s do it again!!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Kate it was a dream to get to know you and work with you to arrange your beautiful wedding weekend! Thanks for your kind words, I am so happy too of how the events went and yes, who says we cannot do it again???
A big hug from Tuscany, hoping to see you and TJ here again! -

Grant R. Sent on 03/24/2023Finest Wedding Planner in Italy!
Serena is the absolute BEST wedding planner for couples seeking a romantic and bespoke wedding in Italy! It is impossible to explain how she brought our dream day to reality, but it was amazing. Serena made planning a wedding in Tuscany from the United States a breeze. From the start, Serena helped us locate a great venue that would accommodate all of our guests for a long weekend’s stay on-location and allow us flexibility bringing outside vendors. She then helped us bring our vision to life by working with local florists, décor vendors, and even found us a great chef for the event. When it came time for the ‘big day’ Serena was well prepared and made sure everything ran smoothly from the morning getting ready photoshoots all the way through dessert. It truly would not have been the perfect day without all of Serena’s help!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thanks Grant for these great words!!! We absolutely loved working with you and Marie and are so happy to read that you fully enjoyed the celebrations and appreciated all we did for you. A big hug from Tuscany! -

Amazing wedding planner
We would like to thank Serena and Klajdi for planning our perfect wedding day. We wouldn't change a thing. From the start Serena's communication was amazing. Serena asked us what our dream wedding would look like and she made it happen. This was all kept within our budget, and achieved in under a year! Serena had some amazing ideas, the addition of the violinist to our ceremony made it really special. Serena and Klajdi managed everything on the day which made it completely stress free.
We couldn't have done it without you,

Dreams come true in Tuscany
Tuscan Tour and Wedding with wedding planner Serena Ricci made our dream come true.
We highly recommend Serena as being in charge of your future wedding. Serena responds quickly and is always very helpful. High level of service from the beginning to the end.
It all started 3 years ago before all of us knew anything about Covid-19. Serena helped us pick out the wedding venue and the venue for rehearsal dinner. Serena knows so many places, and she found the perfect place for our wedding. Quality food, wine, music, venues, flowers, arrangements, suppliers - she took great care of every aspect of the planning and we felt safe everything would be done in order.
If you want a great wedding in Tuscany, make sure to ask Serena for help. We highly recommend her and would do it again.
Thank you so much for all your help, support, and planning - you made it!
We are forever grateful.

Absolutely amazing service and expertise!
We finally got married in Cortona and had the reception in our villa in Montefollonico in May, after having postponed twice due to covid. Serena was amazing throughout, quick to respond and offered the best advice, being based in the UK we would never of been able to co-ord the day without her. Every single supplier she got us in touch with we would highly recommend. The day ran smoothly and exactly how we planned. We also did the wine tasting with Klajdi the day before the wedding and our guest still talk about the experience, he was informative and funny it was a great start to the wedding. Most of our guest say it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Truly magical and the best decision we made to get married in Italy :)Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
So happy to read your kind words Lynsey! It was such a pleasure to work together - even for a longer time than envisioned because of covid - and to see you and Dominic finally get married in Tuscany exactly how you had been dreaming of. Looking through the photos makes me live those joyful moments again and I cannot but be thankful that our paths crossed! I am also happy that everyone enjoyed Klajdi's wine tasting tour and all the things we arranged for you! All the best to you and your beautiful family ! -

Stacey W. Sent on 05/21/2022We couldn’t have done it without Serena
We found Serena by recommendation and from the first call knew we had picked the right planner. We had the wedding of our dreams!
Throughout 2.5 years of planning our wedding and one postponement, Serena supported and advised us with every aspect of our wedding in Tuscany. Her knowledge and experience about venues and all suppliers meant we made the right decisions and her advice was always spot on. She was great at helping me and my husband make decisions (we are very indecisive!) by giving helpful recommendations and presenting different options in a clear way. She helped us negotiate prices and details, and kept us within budget. Further to this, she supported us with arrangements outside of the wedding day itself and worked tirelessly to make sure everything was in place for the big day. I couldn’t recommend Serena enough - she is amazing to work with and made the experience of planning our wedding so special and memorable. Thank you Serena!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thank you Stacey and Dan for wanting me and Klajdi plan your beautiful wedding in Tuscany! It was great working with you and it was natural for us to give you the best advice possible also during those uncertain times, when decisions were a bit more difficult. A big hug and best wishes for a happy life together !!! -

Our friends got married in Tuscany a few years ago and told us about Serena. We hired her as our wedding planner for our Tuscan wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!! She is incredible!! She not only coordinated all of our wedding vendors, she helped us plan the entire wedding weekend in a castle. Events included pizza party, wine tour, all of the wedding day events and vendors, and a Fiat/ Vespa tour through the countryside.
Serena is extremely energetic, creative, responsive, and overall a joy to work with. The value you get for her fee is priceless. Serena made all of our wedding dreams come true. Believe me, you need her!! Serena talked with us about our vision for the wedding and our budget. She suggested venues and vendors with multiple options and assisted us with choosing all the details. She speaks Italian (we don’t) so she negotiated with all the vendors. She is organized, efficient, and fun to work with. Her business partner Klajdi coordinated the food, wine, and wine tour. All were incredible. Our guests are still talking about the wedding weekend and we will all cherish the memories forever.
Our wedding was perfect and exceeded all expectations. Thank you, Serena!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thanks Maria for your kind words, you and Tim were a joy to work with too! It was great to see it all come together and to share with you and your guests all the beautiful things Tuscany is famous for. Wish you lots of love, health and happiness !!! -

Katye Sent on 12/10/2021Serena and Klajdi are INCREDIBLE
We had to plan a wedding in only a few months because I needed to change my name for business purposes. We knew that we wanted to get married in Italy, and I found Serena on Wedding Wire. I am SO THANKFUL I did! With the short time crunch we were not able to visit Italy again before our wedding, so I had to trust her completely with getting all the details right just by sending emails and having zoom calls. The pandemic certainly didn’t make this any easier!
From the very first conversation we had with them, my husband and I knew that we were in good hands. We found the perfect duo in Serena and Klajdi!! They are so attentive, honest, straightforward, and incredibly professional. They maintain great communication and are so organized and meticulous. They listened to what we wanted, and went above and beyond to make our perfect day a reality. They presented us with amazing vendors, and made the entire process so seamless. They connected us with a venue, personal chef, a string quartet, photographer, videographer, florist, dj and lights, and even a gelato cart! They helped us curate the perfect menu, and Klajdi, a world class sommelier, paired everything with the most amazing wine. It was an absolute fairytale. At no point in time was I ever stressed about a single detail, and it all turned out even better than I envisioned.
They really nailed every detail perfectly. I cannot stress enough how incredible they are. They truly made our day so unforgettable, and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Thanks so much for your trust in us and for having us plan the most important day of your life here in Tuscany! Your words mean a lot as we put our hearts in what we do and we are happy you liked everything we arranged for your celebration! Hope our paths will cross again in the future guys, remember you have friends here! Serena & Klajdi -

We could not have asked for a better wedding planning duo than Serena & her business partner Klajdi. Serena is an expert at executing the planning details, while Klajdi is an expert in food & wine- together they are a match made in Italian wedding heaven! For those looking to plan a wedding outside of their home country (my husband and I are American) - it is integral that you chose someone that you trust, as they will be the boots on the ground executing the details while you are directing from afar. My entire family loved and trusted Serena & Klajdi both. It was clear they gave honest advice, negotiated best pricing & ensured every detail was executed with excellence and a keen eye. We enjoyed every minute of planning with them- it became a full on family experience, including multiple trips to Italy and many skype sessions. I would also like to add that I got to know Serena because she planned one of my best friend's weddings! I was so impressed with the seamless weekend that she put together that a year later when we got engaged I asked if she would do my wedding outside of her Tuscan region. After some thought- Serena accepted the offer and planned our wedding in Capri! Best of all- we have gained two new friends in Klajdi & Serena. We can't wait to visit them in Tuscany soon!Tuscan Tours and Weddings's reply:
Kait we can only thank you from our hearts for giving us the opportunity to plan your amazing wedding in Capri. It was a fabulous experience and it was also great to meet your families and share lots of time together during planning. We now have a special bond with you & Luke and your families, and really hope to see you all in Tuscany soon! Hugs from both of us.
