Protestant Wedding Ceremony in Italy

JO-ANN WALKER AND TERENCE JONES

Protestant blessing on Italian Lakes and Honeymoon in Italy

We would like to give our sincere thanks for making our wedding and honeymoon such and exceptional experience.

The Villa Malpensa was very beautiful and convenient to the airport. The rooms, were very nice and we had a very enjoyable dinner there the night before we flew home.

Both of the tours were magnificent. Marilena in Florence did a wonderful job at the Uffizi gallery. She hit the high points and didn't give us too much information. She also gave us some things to consider for the rest of the day. We had a lovely walking tour of the medieval area with the narrow streets and small shops and restaurants.

Rolando and Helena were a very pleasant couple. We enjoyed their company immensely. The boat ride to Portofino and San Fruttuosa was great and we enjoyed a cappucino with them and lunch on the boat of focaccia bread and wine. It was "fabuloso!"

The dinner at the Beatrice in Florence was very nice. The waiter was very helpful and made several suggestions for our dinner.

Villa Crespi was outstanding and its elegance exceeded our expectations. The staff was very friendly and the service was superb. The housekeeping staff even went out of their way to cover Jo Ann's wedding dress with a sheet to protect it. It was hanging on the back of a door in the room and we came back from sightseeing to find it covered up. How nice of them to do that! The meals were incredible! The breakfasts were sumptuous. What marvelous pastries!

We also enjoyed our photographer Giuseppe and the wedding coordinator Philippa. They were a lot of fun and we had a great time taking pictures. We knew from the start that Giuseppe was very professional and we can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Thank you for connecting us with Father Gordon Reid. He was very personable and is a warm, caring man. He was perfect for the ceremony and accommodated us by reading something that Jo Ann's parents had written for our wedding. We were very touched. He knew how special that day was for us and I think he was as impressed as we were with the setting of Sacro Monte which, by the way, was incredible! The presence of Father Reid, the playing of the classical guitarist, the setting of Sacro Monte, and the presence of God in the ceremony made the day exceed our expectations in a way that is hard to describe.

Overall, our trip was very memorable. We walked the footpath between Monterosso and Vernazza on the Cinque Terre. The views were spectacular! The water below us was such a deep, rich blue...it was breathtaking. Thank you and your staff at Italian Destination Weddings for making this a trip and experience that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Sincerely,

Terry and Jo Ann Jones
