PROTESTANT AND CIVIL WEDDING IN FLORENCE
We enjoyed every aspect of our wedding.Yes the flowers were beautiful and the Helvetia Bristol was wonderful and provided beautiful accommodations and excellent service.It is a small hotel,as I am sure you know,and they made us feel very much at home.
Veronica did a teriffic job.She was very knowledgeable and guided us right through all the paperwork with ease.In addition she is a lovely person with an outgoing and friendly personality and offered us many insights into your beautiful city and life in Italy.We both enjoyed her very much.
The church service and Fr.Casparian could not have been better.We only had a small wedding and it was in the chapel at St.Peters.We made friends with the Casparians and enjoyed their and their daughters company at a post wedding lunch .We also attended fr.Casparians Christmas Eve service.The civil service was quite impressive.We appreciated the beauty of the sala rosa and the formality with which the city official conducted the service.
We are anxious to see our wedding photos.We enjoyed working with Mr.Mariani and think he was very professional and creative in how he organized his photographs.We spent the morning after the wedding taking photos around the city and ,while we could not communicate with mr Mariani, we think we got along quite well and each of us seemed to understand what the other wanted.He is a very nice man and seems anxious to please and do a good job.Can you let us know when to expect our photographs and if you are sending the negatives.
Thank you for all your help and assistance.Without Euroservices help ,we would have been unable to accomplish all the paperwork and legalities involved.I believe that there is a document which is to be sent to us for recording in the USA.Could you let us know about that? I am sorry we never got to meet you personally,but want want you to know it was a pleasure working with you.
We look forward to hearing back from you and Happy New Year!

PROTESTANT WEDDING IN FLORENCE AT ST JAMES'
Many thanks for all your help. The hotels in both Florence and Rome were perfectly located and excellent comfort/price compromises. We were able to explore Florence on foot in the morning, lunch, siesta, explore, dinner, drink, party and crash out ! superb.
Wedding went far better than anybody could possibly have hoped for. There were 3 generations of our family, so I expected some complaints. there were none. After the wedding service, most of us jumped in the swimming pool prior to the meal. Great fun was had by all and the married couple return this weekend.
regards
Brendan

PROTESTANT WEDDING IN FLORENCE AT ST JAMES'
Well we are back. We spent three weeks in Italy and loved every minute of it. Now with regard to the wedding - it was absolutely perfect. The wedding coordinator was brilliant and very helpful. The photographer was so pleasant and while we haven't seen the pictures we are sure they will be outstanding.
Father Peter was a delight. The reception at the Villa Cora was so nice. They made every effort to make the evening a perfect ending to our special day.
You're the one that made this whole event happen and without you it wouldn't have come off nearly so well. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work that went in behind the scenes that I'm sure we don't even know about. Thank you so much.
Sincerely;
Harold and Mary
AFTER RECEIVING THE PICTURES:
We received the pictures today and are absolutely thrilled with them. Please pass on our sincerest appreciation. He did just a superb job. Thank you so much once again for just a perfect wedding.

ROSA CASTILLO & JONATHAN LEAR
Protestant wedding in Florence - St. James' Church
We are extremely grateful for your expertise in planning our wedding in Florence!
Every detail, from the flowers to the weather, was absolutely perfect. We never imagined that our wedding day would actually be that perfect. Our family and friends were equally pleased and impressed with how beautiful everything turned out.
Our assistant, Mr. Julian Pio. was very courteous and helpful. We enjoyed having him present. The flowers, especially my bouquet, were gorgeous and arrived to each location earlier than expected. The photographer, videographer and chauffer for the van also arrived at their scheduled times.
Rev. Peter Casparian was also great! During our meeting with him the day before the wedding, he truly took interest in getting to know us as a couple and listened to our expectations of the religious ceremony. We felt as though we were regular parishioners at St. James. After the ceremony, Rev. Casparian invited us to the church garden for a champagne toast and gave us some time to take more pictures with our guests. We also participated in a tradition of trying to get the champagne cork to land in the fountain for good luck. Guess what? Jonathan popped the champagne cork into the fountain without spilling a drop of champagne!
After our time at the church garden- we went to the center of Florence to take some more pictures. We were so surprised at the warm welcome we received from the tourists and locals alike -everyone was congratulating us and taking our picture! We truly felt like Hollywood movie stars that day!
Once we were done taking our pictures in the center, we headed to the restaurant for aspectacular vìew! Ristorante La Loggia was truly special, not just for the wonderful view, but for its food too. Although we were all full by the time our main course was being served, everyone finished the pineapple dessert because it was so delicious and refreshing! The service we received was impeccable and we highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.
Our wedding cake was also delicious! Again, it was delicious and light enough to eat after our big meal.
We look forward to getting our pictures and watching our video soon. Also. we can't wait for our 5-year wedding anniversary so we can return to Florence and do it all over again! One taxi driver was joking with us and said we should come back to baptize our children (not a bad idea !).
Thank you again for all of your help in planning our wedding and making it truly special and unique.
Cordiali saluti,
Rosa Castillo & Jonathan Lear

OPIE AND BUFFY OTTERSTAD
Lutheran Wedding in Florence and Honeymoon in Italy
We had a wonderful time in Italy! The trip and our wedding was a dream come true! Our stay in Florence was our favorite - we could have stayed for months to see and experience everything. We really enjoyed being able to see Florence at a leisurely pace. The Italian people were very friendly and accepted our criptic Italian language.
Julian was just wonderful as our wedding coordinator, and we really appreciated his services. We are looking forward to receiving the pictures! We had a great time walking around Florence in our wedding attire while people clapped and yelled congratulations. The photographer did a great job. Minister Goeden was wonderful, and we would fully recommend and encourage any Lutherans who want to get married in Florence to have him perform the ceremony. After meeting with him, he included our lives and experiences into the wedding sermon.
Thanks for all of your help and planning.
