How To Plan A Wedding In Italy ∼ Full Planning Services, Assistance And Advice From WedInItaly

Regular readers will know that we have a bit of a penchant for weddings in Italy.  After my recent visit to Milan to attend the launch of David Fielden's latest bridal collection (frow style, dahhling), I can see why.  The allure of the hills and stunning environment, guaranteed sunshine, deliciously excellent food and very warm welcome from the locals makes it a no-brainer for many couples planning a destination wedding and for those of you who are keen to learn more about how to plan a wedding in Italy – we'd like to introduce you today to Raffaella Alflatt.

Raffaella founded the company 'WedinItaly', with one purpose: to grant couples their wish of having the perfect destination wedding in Italy.

'Since 2006, we've guided newlyweds through every step of
planning a wedding in Italy – including all of the paperwork and
logistics – to ensure that when they arrive for their nuptials,
everything is ready and waiting for them to say, “I do.” From the shores
of Lake Como to a cliffside terrace on the Amalfi coast to a
16th-century villa nestled in the hills just outside Florence, we've had
the pleasure of welcoming scores of wedding parties to some of the most
stunning locations in Il Bel Paese.'

'I think my favourite part of helping couples plan their wedding
is seeing how thrilled they are that even though they're getting married
far from home, we're able to incorporate family traditions, feature
treasured keepsakes, and organize the arrival of guests from the four
corners of the globe to create an event that is as unique as they are.' 

'We plan weddings in Rome and Venice, Tuscany with Florence,
Amalfi coast and Ravello, Capri, Portofino and La Riviera, emerging
Apulia and Lake Como and offer a full event coordination for weddings
and special events, but also single services such as arrangement of
paperwork for civil and religious services.'

'We work along with the couples and their indication of budget in
order to maximise it and always try to respect their guidance in that
sense. Our aim is to help couple to make the most out of their allocated
budget and enhance each service they book. We negotiate prices and
compare proposals to help the process.'

If you visit the WedinItaly testimonials page, you will see for yourself that Raffaella receives the most wonderful feedback from her happy clients. Nicola and Ian from London, who got married at Castello di Vincigliata on 8th June this year…

“We were really happy with our wedding, it was everything we dreamed it would be.  Raffaella has fantastic insight into her client’s tastes and I knew from
meeting her she understood exactly what we wanted. Her knowledge and
experience put us at ease straight away and I had every confidence in
her that she would make our dreams a reality  Our wedding was perfect, the castle was the most stunning venue and all
our guests were blown away by the detail of the wedding, the catering,
flowers, music – it was all really wonderful.

Raffaella works with very professional experts in Italy, the best
catering people and florists and we really enjoyed meeting with them and
arranging everything. They did not let us down and the end product of our wedding was
everything we had envisaged and Raffaella made that dream come true.   We simply could not have arranged an overseas wedding without her.  She really does make arranging a wedding an un-stressful, enjoyable experience.”

Wissam and Nona tied the knot at Castello di Torcrescenza in Rome on 29 September last year…

 “Everyone thought we were crazy to plan a wedding in a foreign country
in two months. Once we had compiled our to-do list, we also started to
doubt our sanity! Luckily for us we had Raffaella and her team at
‘Weddings in Rome’. They were there from day one, walking us through
every step and providing us with their wealth of experience and contacts
taking on all the work-load and stress.

All we had to really do is mull
the seating arrangement for a few weeks, some things you have to do
yourself I guess. And at the end, we were like guest at our own
fairy-tale wedding, an unforgettable day. Did have a few complaints from
our single friends, apparently we set the bar too high!”

We hope, dear readers, that we've been able to convince those of you keen to plan an Italian wedding, that there is a superb wedding planner out there who is ready to assist you organise the wedding of your dreams in this most beautiful country.
