Special, fun, and light hearted!

Our ceremony in Italy was so special thanks to Diane! She took the time to meet with us on Zoom to get to know us and what we envisioned for our ceremony, and delivered exactly what we were hoping for. Diane’s ceremony was personal to us and incorporated beautiful poems and funny jokes about us as a couple. She encouraged us to incorporate our loved ones for readings and I’m so glad we did it! She was super communicative leading up to the day and we highly recommend Blessings from Italy to anyone!

Book for your wedding!

This company were very easy to deal with from the get go. Guiseppe, organized a Whatsapp call to discuss our wedding plans and get to know us almost immediately after the first email that we sent. Further down the line, we each had a questionnaire to complete prior to the service which helped make our ceremony intimate, emotive and bespoke. We would both definitely recommend to anyone!

Professional and veteran celebrant

I know we are in good hands right when Giuseppe started his introductory remarks. He read through our personal stories, memorize and summarized them well in a poetic yet sharp style. My husband, however, was a bit taken off by Giuseppe using exactly his words to describe certain traits of me, in a way it would’ve been repetitive had he not worded his vows differently. But everything all works out fine at the end. Some of our parents spoke in Chinese, and I want to thank Giuseppe for understanding different cultures perfectly without understanding the language exactly. It was important to me. I felt the grace and warmth from his services on that day and it made our go ceremony smoothly.

Working with Blessings from Italy was a great experience. Our main goal is to communicate the emotions and feelings experienced by the couple on their wedding day through the medium of video. Diane and Giuseppe really helped us to create one of our favourite videos, which is also one of the most emotional. They gave us plenty of great material which we used to create a magical atmosphere… and not only by the beauty of their words but also through the vehicle of their souls. We appreciated their professionalism and because we are sensitive people too we share their passion for emotion! They have huge respect, love and sensitivity for the work they do. If you are looking for Celebrants who possess deep values and are empathetic to a high degree you will certainly never forget the celebration of your love if you hire them to immortalize your special day.
