Grazie Laura!

Thank you so much for all of your hard work planning our wedding.  I still have to be pinched to believe it was not just an elaborate dream!  The day was perfect and beyond our expectations.  Thank you for recommending Santa Margherita, and the Villa Durazzo, the setting was spectacular and the town captured our hearts.  Bill and I even altered our honeymoon to return to Santa Margherita.  We knew we couldn't leave Italy leaving certain things undone, particularly Cinque Terre and swimming in Paraggi.  As much as I thought Vernazza was beautiful when I saw it, I am so thrilled that we married in Santa Margherita instead. 

We never expected that so many of our family and friends could make the trip to celebrate our day with us.  Your efforts and your countless emails saw our wedding evolve from what started as a private ceremony with just the two of us in Vernazza, to the most beautiful wedding day either of us could have imagined - surrounded by family and friends and yet still so intimate.  We never felt any stress about any of the little details that weddings all entail.  Guiseppe (our photographer), our violinist, our florist, Enrico (makeup) and Antonella (hair) we're all wonderful - oh and don't forget to thank Elena in Rome for chasing paperwork for us - it was a flawless day.  Thank you for recommending the Hotel; it is truly a hidden gem.  We felt like family there and the cocktail reception they put on was lovely.  As well as the restaurant in Portofino!  Our dinner reception was so delicious and the setting on the water looking back at Portofino was magical. 

I cannot imagine how we could have managed such an event without your help and guidance.  It was so seamless; everything we had hoped for.  Thank you again and please pass our name on to anyone requesting a reference.  I cannot say enough...

Thank you Laura!
