Lake Como - June 4th 2010 - Caroline & Ross - Civil Wedding
icona
Caroline & Ross
Thank you for all your help in creating a fabulous day. When we set out, there was an idea of how we wanted our wedding to be, but we never imagined it could be realized so perfectly.

From the outset, you understood the style and feel that we were looking for and the venue you recommended to us was the ideal backdrop for the occasion. Our guests were delighted and this was reflected in the wonderful photographs we saw on our return.

The day itself ran so smoothly and was so relaxed, that we were able to simply enjoy it. And for that, we thank you most of all.

Caroline and Ross



Venice - May 10th 2010 - Lisa & Haitham - Symbolic Wedding at the Palace with secret garden
icona
Lisa & Haitham
My husband and I have just returned from our amazing wedding in Venice, all organised by Gemma of WED. When we initially began planning our wedding we knew that we wanted a very small and intimate ceremony with close family and friends, but something a little unusual.
We stumbled across WED on the internet and from our first correspondence with Gemma, we were instantly impressed. Gemma had lots of ideas and seemed genuinely interested in helping us arrange our perfect wedding, she was knowledgeable, approachable and made us feel very secure in the process. Deciding to plan a wedding abroad can be daunting, but Gemma was always on hand reassuring us and discussing all the options in thorough detail and at no point did we feel out of control or that we were taking a big risk in trusting someone we had never met to help coordinate our big day!
After discussing our thoughts with Gemma she made several venue and style suggestions, both my husband and I fell in love with the idea of getting married in a secret garden in the heart of Venice. This ticked all our boxes and more and without Gemma and WED's local knowledge we would never have found our venue or been able to organise our day from the UK.
As a bride, I had several things that I knew I wanted and Gemma managed to organise everything just as I had in my head, from flowers to cocktails!
WED has an excellent network of suppliers and managed to find us a sensational photographer and very gifted make up artist and hair stylist. Our photographer instantly put us at ease, he is a very experienced and talented photographer and we now have the most amazing photos of our day, far, far more special and original than we had ever hoped for, all our married friends are very jealous of them! Our make up artist and stylist again knew exactly what to do and had us all looking a million dollars and feeling at our absolute best. They both helped make our day extra special.
I cannot recommend highly enough the service from WED, attention to detail and genuine interest that was provided, our day was everything we had hoped for and more!

Venice - April 13th 2010 - Julie & Philip - Renewal of Vows Ceremony in a Gondola
icona
Julie & Philip
It is always difficult organising an event at the best of times, but when it is abroad and you have never met the organiser, it could be a particularly anxious time.
But from your very first email to me I felt extremely comfortable leaving it all in your hands and felt that you were really listening to what we wanted and were prepared to be as flexible as we needed.
We just wanted a very simple ceremony, in a gondola, with a good photographer, followed up by a lovely meal in St Mark's Square. And that is exactly what we got. Even the sun came out - I don't know how you did that! But we felt incredibly special and it was a very romantic occasion - we really couldn't have asked for, or got, any more.
We will always remember our silver wedding in Venice and cannot thank you enough for organising it all so painlessly and wonderfully. Please also thank the photographer for all the wonderful photos - I felt like a film star walking through St Mark's Square having my photo taken!
Our silver wedding anniversary and renewal of vows, that you organised, was just so special, from beginning to end. Thank you so much!
Julie & Phil

Marina & Shann
With all her passion and caring personality Gemma made our dream of an incredible & unforgettable wedding in Venice come true.
She was extremely professional when helping us getting all required paperwork sorted, honest about challenges we may face (it was a rather short notice wedding to organize), absolutely reliable and trustworthy. Not only has she impressed everyone by her language skills during our romantic but joyful ceremony (3 additional languages) she also organised our special day with so much love in every detail, giving it this special something to make it such a wonderful, romantic and memorable day. Everyone had such an amazing time and was utterly delighted by the whole day. Thanks for making this happen!

Sincerely a huge huge thank you to you…you did us proud. The Wedding was like a fairy tale and I cannot express how I felt that day. You were brilliant and kept everything going so perfectly ....
- you were sweet professional and above all it wouldn’t of come together without YOU never thought how the day would pan out as a “fairy tale”- this had not been one of my thoughts, but it worked out that way, and I am lost for words to describe my gratitude to you. You cannot imagine the amount of comments back we have had - the guests were blown away by everything... The crypt of course, the walk across St. Marks square - the water taxis - organization the décor of the palace - the palace itself - wonderful. The comments are still flooding in… THANK YOU again.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for making our special day, so special.
We enjoyed our stay in Lake Garda and the wedding was just what we hoped it would be, you were so kind and helpful....
I am sure any couple wanting to get married in Italy, would be thrilled to have a day like we had, whether it be just the two of them or a bigger family affair. We will never forget our special day thank you so much for helping to make that happen. The flowers you arranged for us were just lovely.

Alison & Rusi
My wife and I had a tremendously good time on the day of our wedding. The venue was of the greatest importance to us and in this area we were most impressed. We were presented with multiple potential wedding venues....
Each had its own charm and we debated back and forth but WED was very accommodating in helping us select the most fitting place. The countryside was breathtaking and the town was isolated, ancient and beautiful. WED tailored the wedding to suit our exact requirements including only those items we expressly asked for and nothing else. The photographer, translation services and administrative issues were all handled with minimal input or effort from us. The professionals were polite, capable and enthusiastic. Thanks again and all our best.
Alison and Rusi

Kate & Chris
WED took care of every detail in the run up to our wedding and having somebody able to speak Italian and liaise with the authorities on our behalf really took the stress out of the legal arrangements....
The help with ordering the flowers, photographer, wedding gondola and reserving the restaurant was also very helpful, as we wouldn’t have known where to start. We would highly recommend WED to anybody considering getting married in Italy who would like a professional service with a personal touch. Thank you so much.
Kate and Chris.

We just got back to Canada last night and I am emailing you from work already!! What a change!! Even though it seems like a bit of a harsh reality check, our time in Italy....
and the wedding is still very near and close, and we have so many wonderful memories to hold. First, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to you.
Without your help our wedding would not have been what it was. But more than just the “technicalities” and arranging of things, we truly enjoyed meeting you and appreciated you as a person. We were so comfortable with you and all of our friends and family had nothing but great things to say about you. We could not have asked for a better or nicer wedding planner.

Well Greg and I are now back from our honeymoon and are back at work! I know we’ve said it already, but we just wanted to thank you SO MUCH again for working with us to organise such a perfect, fairytale wedding. It surpassed all our wildest dreams - it was so magical....
The setting was perfect - you really understood what we were looking for - in terms of location, flowers, theme - everything right down to the make-up:)
And throughout you were so warm and friendly, and professional and responsive - it was almost as though we were there. I never doubted at any stage that the wedding would be perfect with you on the ground organising it for us.

Cristina & Andrew
Many thanks for organising a day that exceeded all our expectations. Venice was an incredible setting for our wedding, and the day was a dream come true for us. The assistance of the Venice WED team allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our ceremony and reception....
We had complete trust and felt reassured by the way that last minute changes required by the dramatic weather on the day were dealt with. The highlight of our wedding day was was arranged at the last minute, involving a procession of gondolas on the grand canal with our relatives and friends. It was an exhilarating experience, like being at the centre of a beautiful classic movie. We have no words to fully describe how much we loved it, but we hope that this brief testimony can help others appreciate what our wedding day meant to us.
Cristina and Andrew.

We are home and settling in after our storybook-perfect wedding and honeymoon cruise! One thing is for sure, it couldn't have been more perfect, and we couldn't have done it on such a grand scale without YOU!....
At first we were hesitant to trust the internet for planning our wedding. As you know, we investigated several options before settling on WED. I have to say that you were the most consistent and patient informer, and that is why we chose you. I understand there is much competition for wedding planners and you are most likely earning a commission on the services provided. However, until there is a bond of trust established, it is difficult to send your hard-earned dollars out of the country to someone whom you’ve never met. Thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions and put our fears to rest. You will be happy to know our wedding in the palace garden exceeded all of our expectations. Also, we’d like to thank you for the lovely candelabra. It was certainly a pleasant surprise, and we will cherish it always. e have enjoyed telling everyone that we were married in the garden where the movie, “Casanova” was filmed. We get excited every time we see the twisted tree pop into view, knowing that we stood in that very spot! I hope that you get a chance to see the film as it is very funny! The photographer took lovely photos; everyone says we look like movie stars! It’s funny.... because I sort of FELT like one at the time! Everything was just so perfect it felt like a fairy tale. And that’s coming from a couple of been-around-the-block-a few-times middle-agers! We loved every second of it! So, we hope this message finds you well and making lots of other couples happy, too.

We are so grateful for the personal attention you gave us. At first, picking the venue was the hardest task, but you understood our style and wants from the beginning and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect....
setting for our wedding. Also being far away made it difficult to plan and oversee all the details, but the way you handled everything was so professional, it was as if we were right there the whole time. Even when rain threatened to ruin our day you managed to keep our emotions as well as the set up under control. Thank you for making our dream a reality... it was the most perfect beginning for a true love story. Thanks for everything.
Roula and Rabih.
