I cannot stress how many compliments we have received from our guests about everything you helped us plan.

Brenda, I have to admit, I’ve always had such high expectations about how my wedding would be that I expected to be disappointed at least in some way… But the truth is everything actually exceeded my expectations. The wedding could not have been more perfect in every fashion, and I have been reliving that night over and over since we left. I could not have expected the reaction we got from our guests, and even their friends who saw pictures they posted on Facebook. They all said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen. Needless to say, we can’t thank you enough and you are a genius.

Thank you so much for your wonderful service regarding our wedding day. I could not have been more pleased with the results of your hard work and effort. The site you chose was absolutely perfect for the number of persons attending with a gorgeous view and extremely attentive service. I appreciate your kind advice and patience with my questions about the venue and general flow of our day.
Your recommendations for all services including the florist, videographer, musician, driver, and minister were absolutely wonderful. The videographer made us feel comfortable and had great ideas to make our video unique. The musician gave the ceremony a charming ambiance and was so talented utilizing both the accordion and classical guitar. I never imagined the driver would be so kind and helpful assisting me with my cumbersome train and veil each time I entered and exited the vehicle. He was truly my saving grace. Please send my sincerest thanks to them all, as they made a wonderful and memorable impact on our perfect wedding day.
I am truly grateful and will look upon our day with great fondness, always knowing that you were the person who made our style and dream of a perfect wedding day a reality.

How can I ever thank you for orchestrating such a beautiful three day wedding celebration in Italy. Everyone is still constantly talking about the entire experience and claiming that it was a “once in a lifetime.” You, Brenda, are amazing in your ability to manage the hundreds of details necessary to create each event. Thank you, for working so closely with my family in Italy. No one could have done it more graciously and with such simpatia. Your name will be famous in the hills of Abruzzo and certainly with my family members who are in awe of your expertise and warm, friendly nature.
The wedding at the castle was storybook quality. It was more lovely than anything I imagined during those many months of planning all last year. Again, your attention to detail created a beautifully executed event with no one’s needs unfulfilled. In the year of planning prior to the wedding you always made me feel confident that all was under control and in your competent hands. Both Bud and I think of you as a treasured friend and hope that you will remain a part of our lives. Thank you, thank you. Ti vogliamo bene.

When Steve and I talked about where we wanted to get married we decided that it should be a place that was filled with excitement, passion and love – all the things that best described our love. We talked about Italy but where would we begin, was it realistic, how would we include certain aspects of a traditional American wedding that were important to us?
I was overwhelmed with all the thoughts and possibilities. We were pleasantly surprised when you started by asking us many questions and listened intently and made it a point to make our wishes happen. From logistics to legalities you provided a wealth of information and comfort. Your amazed us with your attention to detail and unbelievable follow through.
We also appreciated your assistance in staying within our budget. Your frequent line item updates informed us of where the budget was trending based on the decisions we were making. It was reassuring to know that at no point would we find ourselves surprised or overwhelmed by unexpected expenses. All the vendors and locations you arranged for us were everything that we could have hoped for.
Our wedding in Tuscany will always be a joy and delight to us and our families and friends. We will forever be grateful that we found Italia Celebrations.
