CIVIL WEDDING IN FLORENCE - JULY 12th , 2001

Hello!

We have just got back from a fantastic time in Italy. We really had a lovely time, thank you very much. I did like my flowers very much. Everything concerning the wedding was fine.

We had a super time at Restaurant Beatrice - the waiter service was excellent, the food delicious and the venue was pretty. I loved the wedding cake - the Torte Chantilly.

The photographer was very good and professional and I can't wait to see them!! Thanks for all your help in organising our wedding and making it special.

Civil wedding in Florence, Tuscany - June 7th, 2001

It is only five days on and John and I are still talking about how wonderful our wedding day turned out thanks to you and your company. From the first meeting with the lovely assistant who made sure we felt assured and comfortable with all the procedings , to the delicious luncheon at the Beatrice Restaurant and the suprise by the staff who invited us to the rooftop terrace to have champagne whilst overlooking Florence and the surrounding hills .

We thank you for your professional and friendly manner and your prompt replies to all our questions along the way. We can truly say that we felt comfortable to just let the day happen and enjoy it all whilst your staff took charge of the details.

We,our friends and family look forward to receiving the photos and certificates in the near future and remembering our special day once again.

Sincerely ,

Civil wedding in Florence, Tuscany - May 24th 2001

We can't begin to find words thank you enough for all the efforts made by you and Euroevents staff to make our wedding in Florence the most memorable event of our lives. We were overwhelmed by the friendliness, charm and beauty of Florence and its citizens; indeed it is one of the most romantic and truly magical places in the world. Our time there will be etched in our hearts forever.

Our wedding at the Palazzo Vecchio was more romantic than we ever could have possibly guessed. The ceremony was beautiful and moving, and the Red Room was more gorgeous and awe-inspiring than we could have imagined. It was as if the love shared by the thousands of couples who have preceded us was filling the room, making our ceremony even more special. Words could never begin to describe the beauty of Florence, with the Uffizi Gallery, the Duomo, the Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens, the Ponte Vecchio and so very much more. Our reception dinner at the Reataurante Beatrice was the perfect end to a perfect day. The restaurant was beautiful and the staff took exemplary care of us...from selecting the perfect table to menu and wine suggestions, we couldn't have asked for a more romantic reception dinner, in a more romantic setting. The private tour to Tuscany including San Gimignano and Siena and our tour of the Poggio Alloro olive orchard and vineyard even more perfect than we could have imagined. Our guide Stefania Danti couldn't have been more charming and informative. Mr. Gennaro Napolitano, our personal chef for our cooking class was wonderful, we will enjoy the recipes for many years to come. Your suggestion of Rome as our final destination was a perfect choice. The historic sites of ancient Rome, the beauty of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel and the fantastic shops and restaurants were not to be missed.

As you could guess, we could barely imagine how we could ever bring together the hundreds of details that would be necessary for our wedding. From the planning process in the beginning where you made recommendations and answered all of our questions, you helped us create memories that will last a lifetime. You assistance and guidance with the paperwork made all the difference in helping us fly through the process without a snag. Our assistant/interpreter met us in Florence, worked with us to complete all our final paperwork and took care of verifying the final arrangements for the flowers and photographer. He was available day and night to help us with any questions and couldn't have been more charming or attentive.

We would like you to extend a special thank you to the hairdresser. We were ecstatic at how Nancy's hair and make-up came out. The flowers were more wonderful than we could have hoped, the florist did a tremendous job. The photographer did a wonderful job of suggesting locations for pictures before, during and after the ceremony. We can't wait to see the photos. We just know that they have perfectly captured our special day.

We just want to thank you again for making our wedding the most fantastic time of our lives. There are not words enough to express our gratitude to you and everyone at Euroevents.

All our love,

Nancy Allen & Larry Parretti

Civil wedding in Florence + tour in Tuscany

November 16th , 2000

Thank you and your company for making our wedding day so wonderful!

Everything was perfect! Our wedding coordinator Paolo was great. Paolo was professional, courteous, and a really nice guy. He was on-time for our initial meeting with him at the U.S. Consulate, and made the wedding day go off without a hitch! The flowers for my bouquet were just as I asked, and were beautiful. Although we have yet to receive our photos, (we've only been home 2 days), we were really happy with the photographer. He took at least 100 plus photos all around Florence, and was quick and very fun. We felt like "movie-stars"! Our lunch at "Beatrice" was terrific. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the perfect setting for an after wedding luncheon. The owner of the restaurant took us up on the roof for a panoramic view of the city, and more photos. The couple who took us on our wine tour (Sylvia and Frederico) the following day were also a lot of fun.

We had a beautiful ride through the Tuscan country side, and sampled some wonderful wines. They even took us to some smaller towns that we missed this visit and last years. Sylvia even acted as an interpreter for us at a bank where we would not have had success without her help. Every thing was handled in a timely and professional manner, even the limo driver was on time to pick us up to-the-minute! Our wedding day was a huge success and truly memorable. We are so pleased with your companies service and will suggest it to any one for the future. We did meet another couple at the Consulate in Florence (the Monday before our wedding). They were also from the States, even from Philadelphia...small world....anyway, they were absolutely panic-stricken! They had used another company for the wedding plans, and it was not going well for them at all. Their coordinator failed to tell them correct times to go the Consulate, and as a result, their wedding was cancelled, and they even had to change the location of their wedding to Siena (their travel plans were taking them there). We felt very bad for them, and it made us appreciate your company all the more!

Thank you again so very much,

Sincerely,

Susan Green Liddy and Mark Liddy, Philadelphia, PA.

MARIE-CLAIRE and GARY DIEBEL

Civil Wedding in Florence - August 2000

We are back and I am trying my best not to break the spell of our being in Italia.

Gary and I wanted to thank you so much for making our day so memorable, and the experience in making it happen so effortless. Especially now, we could not have imagined doing it any other way. Your choices of "who", "what" and "where" fit perfectly.

First, please give our warmest regards to Paolo Sortino. His genuine personality and attention really made tending to the process of the paperwork a pleasantly interesting adventure. He was a wonderful bridge to help us experience getting married in Firenze as less of an outsider (not having Firenze just be a stage play backdrop).

Gary and I, as well as our guests, are still savoring the delicious luncheon. Your choice of Restaurant Beatrice was perfect-atmosphere, wine, food. The service was attentive, complete and very charming. What made our wedding cake additionally special was meeting the woman who created it. Her enthusiasm was as wonderful as the cake.

Please give our warmest regards also to Mr. Ottanelli-very sweet man who was uncertain about my hairstyle request, but went ahead and did a wonderful job. With patience, we are looking forward to Mr. Mariani's photos. He worked very hard in trying to get the important elements to capture Firenze in our photos amidst the battlefield of the crowds on a wonderfully sunny day. We also loved the experience going to see Sartoria Antonietta for the tuxedo-their knowledge and service was also warm and concise. Inspite of having difficulty in finding their location (we need the assistance of the hotel front desk to call them), the effort was worth it.

The richness of the ceremony really came together with the regalness of the vice mayor and his strong voice, the light guitar and the hall itself. I loved my flowers and am currently trying to dry them to keep-it made it home in one piece.

Please keep us informed of the final marriage certificate that we need to receive from you to be authenticated here. Also, let us know if there's anything else you need from us or we need to do.

Lastly, I need to find out if it is possible to get another certificate, which was on bordered parchment paper, that we received titled, "Il Sindaco della Citta di Firenze". Unfortunately, we discovered the handwritten ink had smeared when we unrolled it once we got home. I was so disappointed when I discovered this. Please let me know if it is possible to obtain another one, or if we need to request this through another methods. It was such a wonderful piece that I wanted to frame.

We wanted to thank both of you again, especially Simona. Thank you for your patience in working with me through the final details, especially up until the day before we left. Most of all, thank you for ordering the sun on the day of our wedding.

With warm regards and much appreciation,

Mary-Claire and Gary

ANGELA AND DAVID LA MANTIA

Civil Wedding in Florence - July 2000

The Bride wrote as recommendation...

Hi Danielle,

David and I strongly recommend using Rosanna as a consultant. Not only did they plan the location of the wedding, but assisted in all the paperwork to make it official in the USA. Rosanna, Laura and Lara all did a wonderful job. Since, I am an artist I wanted to get married in Florence and it was a beautiful place. The Medici Room in the Town hall is gorgeous. But if you wanted to marry in a church, Rosanna could help you with that too. We had our best friends as witnesses and had a beautiful luncheon after the ceremony at Beatrice (Rosanna set this up). I think that was the most beautiful restaurant and the food was amazing. They even made us a wedding cake!

Our photographer was also very good. Our pictures were taken right on the Ponte Vecchio by the Rowing Club, the most beautiful view of the bridge.

Also, we emailed all the plans back and forth and I had no worries. I emailed a picture of the flowers I wanted and they were wonderful. When we arrived in Florence we had an itinerary from Laura on what paperwork needed to be completed and Lara was our guide taking us to all the offices. Lara was wonderful and a pleasure to work with. The night of our wedding we went to a fest with her and her husband and our friends. The only glitch was that our friends did not have a good experience at the Hotel Pendini. But there are many more amazing hotels.

We spent one month abroad and if I would have known how great Rosanna was, I would have had her plan the whole trip!

Feel free to write me anytime with questions. I know how you feel about something so important being taken care of over the internet. I was worried at first, too. The more I worked with Rosanna, Laura and Lara the more confident I was that I'd have a beautiful wedding. And I couldn't of imagined it to be any better. I am a freelance graphic designer and my husband is a computer programmer. Our friends and family had a big laugh that we planned our wedding via email and the internet!
