Working with Daniela and her team at The Tuscan Wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made…read morefor our wedding at Vignamaggio this past September. From our very first call, we knew Daniela was the planner for us. Her warmth, professionalism, and deep understanding of what we wanted immediately stood out. As an event planner myself, I had a clear vision for our wedding but simply didn't have the time to manage all the details. Daniela understood that right away--she respected how we work, our time commitments, and the level of involvement we could realistically give. She took the time to truly get to know both me and my husband, and she helped bring our shared vision to life in the most thoughtful way. She understood us so well that my husband eventually stopped joining many of the calls, fully confident that between Daniela and me, his vision was always represented. Our weekly calls quickly became the highlight of my week--and I genuinely miss them now! Daniela was incredibly organized and thorough, always making sure we stayed on track while still keeping the process enjoyable and stress-free. But what meant the most was how much she cared beyond just the logistics. Over time, she got to know me so well that she could sense when I was feeling stressed or overwhelmed. She would always pause to check in and help me think beyond the wedding itself, which meant more than she probably realizes. When the wedding day arrived, it truly felt like a fairytale. Daniela and her team executed everything flawlessly. Every detail, every transition, every decision throughout the day was seamless. They brought everything we envisioned to life in a way that exceeded even our highest expectations. We've received countless comments from guests saying it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Daniela and her team are truly one of a kind. If you are planning a wedding in Tuscany, I cannot recommend them enough. Having them by your side will make the entire process not only smooth and successful, but genuinely joyful.

Katia and her extraordinary team made our fairytale come to life and gave us the wedding of our dreams. Partnering with Katia and her team was easily *the* best decision we made. We planned our wedding in Tuscany from the US with over 70 guests traveling from abroad, and somehow, Katia made the entire process feel effortless, organized, and genuinely fun. From our very first call, Katia immediately understood our vision. Within days, she found the perfect venues that captured exactly what we had described: timeless, romantic, and authentically Tuscan. She guided us through every step with patience, creativity, and impeccable taste. Her communication was always clear and prompt, even with the time difference!, and every vendor she recommended was outstanding. Whenever we needed more options, Katia quickly came back with thoughtful, curated choices that matched our style perfectly. We had just 11 months to plan, yet Katia and her team managed every detail beautifully! From décor and design to transportation and timing. As a first-time bride, I leaned heavily on their expertise, and they exceeded every expectation. I really didn't know how much detail goes into planning a wedding, especially a destination one. When the wedding weekend finally arrived, I felt zero stress. Everything was flawlessly executed. The flow of the day, the timing, the layout... EVERY. SINGLE. detail was seamless. Katia's vision and attention to detail transformed our venue into something straight out of a dream. Every guest was in awe of the atmosphere, the beauty, and how effortlessly everything unfolded. Our friends and family are still talking about how it was the most stunning, perfectly organized wedding they've ever attended. Katia and her team didn't just plan our dream wedding; they created an unforgettable experience filled with heart, beauty, and joy. I can't thank Katia enough for their professionalism, kindness, and incredible eye for detail; we will forever be grateful to her and The Tuscan Wedding for turning our dream into reality. If you're getting married in Italy, look no further. They are truly the best of the best!!

He asked us where we were from, and gave us a good spot to sit. He was friendly and attentive. However, there weren't too many people dining here, which was strange. The bread they serve at the beginning is awful. I don't think I have ever tasted bread that is so bland, dry, and tasteless.....and we were in Italy. I took a bite of the bread and left it. I have tasted better bread in the US. Then I ordered the following: - Fried squash blossoms: The server said this was amazing, but it was anything but that. Its very greasy, and bland. Very disappointing. - Spaghetti with Tomato sauce: This was decent, not anywhere close to the pastas I had in other restaurants in Florence and Rome. They do take credit card, so that was great. But overall, I was very disappointed with the food here. There are tons of other restaurants in Florence with much better and delectable food.

On the second day, we had Indian appetizers, followed by a dinner and full American bar. We visited Florence for a tasting in September of 2018 and were blown away by the experience that Galateo provided. The food was beautiful, the tasting was well structured and impressive, and the manager who sat with us did a great job talking through our needs and wants. On the weekend of we were so impressed by the unbelievable execution and professionalism of the staff. The making of the millefoglie was certainly an event that we will never forget, and it was delicious!! We were concerned about the Indian appetizers because we weren't able to taste them ahead of time. Ultimately, we wound up with delicious food that received praise from all of our guests- including those from India! This caterer was the most expensive one that we considered and was worth every cent.

We were told that Galateo was the best caterer in tuscany. We did not question this..was excited…read moreabout our tasting and was so shockingly disappointed that i was speechless. I am hoping that it was a fluke because we got a bad chef that day...The food had no flavor at all..the tomatoes, basil, had no basic flavor. The special truffle pasta dish they had prepared at extra cost tasted like mac and cheese with sliced raw potatoes. The beef tenderloin with brunello di montalcino sauce was ok. The ravioli had no flavor and made with really thick skins. The fried appetizers were not flavorful at all... I think the have an excellent selection of wines to choose from but at extra costs. Their chairs/linens/tableware etc all looked great with a large selection. I would hope their service is great given the descriptions but that you can't tell until the day of. It was too risky to use them... People come to tuscany for the stunning landscapes and authentic fresh foods. We have not had a bad meal in tuscany till this experience..even in the little restaurants in the countryside. We are better off using a local chef who prepares simple but fresh foods. In the end we chose a chef from florence who served excellent food... we don't know how the other aspects of the wedding reception will go..but food is important to us. Everyone we talked to said Galateo was excellent...so it must have been a fluke that day.
