Florence Villa Wedding

JENNIFER RUUD & GERARDO BRUNO

Villa Wedding in Florence and Reception at a Villa

We could not have hoped for a more perfect day as the day of our wedding. Our wedding took place on March 11, 2001 at the Villa in Florence, Italy. Everything went flawlessly and every detail was covered. This perfect day was mostly due to the incredible professionalism and attention of the wonderful Italian Destination Weddings, our wedding coordinators Sonia and Julian, and the wonderful staff of the Villa.

Planning a wedding overseas can be a stressful experience, but Italian Destination Weddings made it seem simple and painless. From the first day they continually impressed us with their attention and detailed answers to all our questions. They always got back to us promptly with answers to our questions, examples of various services and unique suggestions of all possibilities. They had suggestions to fit every budget. All of our needs were met and the places they recommended were all top rate. Every professional they recommended we use were impeccably professional, from the hairdresser and makeup artists, to the photographer and videographer.

They also helped with every step of the legal process, to make sure all things were in place for the big day. The legal process can be intimidating, but someone from their staff was with us the moment we arrived in Italy to walk us through everything.

When the big day arrived, we were a bit nervous that everything would go smoothly, as we hadn't seen the flowers or the cake and some other things in person. However we found that we had no reason to be nervous-everything was beautiful. The flowers were among the freshest and most beautiful we had ever seen, and the cake was exactly as we had requested. The hairdressers and makeup artists they sent that day were so wonderful and attentive, and really worked with us and listened to what we wanted. The photographs are among the best we have ever seen-and many of our friends have commented that they have never seen their equal. The video was thorough and complete-no major event was missed, they captured it all and put together a wonderful video preserving our memories. Everyone providing a service arrived promptly and everything was done exactly on schedule. No detail was missed.

The place we held the wedding, the Villa  was one of the most breathtaking places we have ever seen. It was as if we were a prince and princess in a palace on that day, and the staff treated us as if we were royalty. The food was some of the most delicious we have ever tasted, and our guests were delighted by the décor and the unbeatable cuisine.

We will remember this beautiful day for the rest of our lives and are so thankful we did something truly unique for our day. Marrying in Italy, which we feel is the most beautiful place on earth, will always be our most treasured memory. Italian Destination Weddings was with us every step of the way and made this all possible. We cannot recommend them highly enough-they will make your special day perfect! Please feel free to contact us directly for more information.

Symbolic Wedding at Villa Cora in Florence

I have only just returned to work as after our week in Florence we went to Canada skiing and enjoyed fabulous white Christmas.

Whilst in Florence we also went to Venice, Siena, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa and did lots of driving throughout Tuscany.

The wedding turned out beautifully!! Mr Giustini at the  Villa was fantastic and incredibily helpful. The Mirror Hall was perfect as were the flowers, music, food and cake. I wil be sending him a thank you e-mail as well.

The celebrant, photographer and videographer were all great fun and very obliging despite the language barrier and by the time they had finished for the evening thgey seemed more like guests rather than professionals who were working. Please forward our thanks to them again.

And for all the hard work you did... thank you very, very much! I know that I had lots of questions and concerns and you helped with all of them. The wedding was just wanted we wanted...it was beautiful, very emotional, with some of the guests crying, I was crying a little and Alan was trying to make me laugh.

Again, thank you for making our Florence villa wedding so special,

Kim and Alan
