When my husband and I decided to get married in Florence I thought I would have been able to organize everything remotely (we live in California). I soon realized that was not the case, that with the time zone, it was becoming a full time job. So I asked a dear friend of ours to recommend their wedding planner who they were extremely satisfied with, who helped organize their wedding, the best we had been so far. Best decision ever. Francesca turned out to be the easiest person to work with, extremely organized, nice, always available and VERY responsive (didn't have one issue even with 9 hours of time zone difference). It made everything much easier, for each vendor she has a list of selected high quality options that you can pick from. She never pushes for something that goes against the couple's taste or budget. She understands how much help you need, without overstepping in areas where you don't need help, but moving forward where you do need it (especially on deadlines!). I strongly recommend Francesca and her team, they made everything possible for us, they worked hard until the night before (literally) and the whole day of the wedding, which became the best of our lives, also thanks to them! read more
