Tina and Peter, civil wedding in Florence

Florence, September 16^th 2010.

Dear Laura,

Pete and I would like to say thank you for all of the hard work you and your team put into our wedding. You answered my many questions and your advice was really appreciated. All of the services you arranged were professional and well executed (my bouquet was beautiful! I was very sad to leave it behind).

We arrived in Florence and met Nicholas, our coordinator, at the US Embassy a couple of days before the wedding. He answered all of our questions, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the wedding. We really appreciate his hard work and coordination with all the services on the wedding day. It was a great comfort not having to worry about anything.

Our wedding day was perfect. We met our photographer, Francesco, the morning of the wedding at the hotel. He was wonderful. After the ceremony he took some photos throughout the Palazzo and then we walked through the streets of Florence and over to the Ponte Vecchio for some additional shots. We can't wait to see the photos. He also took pictures of all of the guests so we could send them framed photos as a small thank you for making the trip to Italy.

Many guests commented that it was right out of a fairy tale and it really was. We couldn't have been happier. The Sala Rossa room in the Palazzo Vecchio was beautiful and the violinist playing soft music made it magical. He did a fantastic job.

The splendor of the villa where the reception was held cannot be described. The guests could not stop taking pictures of it trying to capture its beauty. The grounds were beautiful and everything was in bloom. The food was superb and the staff very pleasant. The hours seem to float by and it was hard to say good-bye as we left to go back to our hotel. It was a wonderful day.

Our wedding was a dream come true and we would recommend Exclusive Italy Weddings to anyone wanting to get married in Italy. Thank you so much for everything.
