Catholic wedding in Siena (Marciano) - June 23rd 2001
Hello!
Our assistant in Florence was very helpful, it definately helps to be first at the American Consulate in the morning.
The wedding coordinator was great. The flowers were perfect.
We really enjoyed the photographer and videographer, and can't wait to see the pictures/video.
The priest was very sweet & calm.
Thank you for all of your help, we enjoyed our trip very much.

Hello!
Sorry for the delay in getting ahold of you.
Thanks so much for all your help. Everything went very well, our wedding coordinator and our interpreter were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the ceremony and the hall was beautiful. Siena is a very enchanting city. The hotel was quite nice with a beautiful view of the city.
We drove up the Chiantigiani towards Firenze on our return trip and enjoyed beautiful views of the region.
Thanks again for your assistance in our time of momentary crisis and the invaluable planning for the entire event.
buone anno e agouri

I am sure that Lauren will send you a detailed letter about our trip... I will keep it brief from my perspective. Everything was wonderful. Thank you for all of your help in pulling it together.

THE BRIDE
I hope you are doing well, and that your Christmas and New Year was full of fun and happiness. It was so nice to finally get to meet you in Venice... It seems like a million years ago! We just got our pictures yesterday, and to see the photo of you with us in Venice was very nice and brought back a lot of good memories.
Thanks SO very much for all your help with the wedding and the entire trip!
Everything was just wonderful... I can't imagine a better way to get married and honeymoon! I will sit down in the next week or so and write a nice email about the trip and your services, so you will know how pleased we were with your help and with your company!
It's funny to be back home -- I started classes last week and work is very busy for Michael, so it was a bit of a shock at first but we're settling in all right. Looking at the pictures last night was wonderful... I will scan a few of them and send them to you so you can see too!
Thanks again, and I WILL write a recommendation email for you to use however you see fit -- it might take me a week or two to get to it, but I will be very happy to do it.
Best wishes,
Lauren Rizzo (!)
After having received the photos.
Wanted to let you know that we got our album and it took our breath away. I cannot describe to you what a delightful surprise it was. The quality is everything I could have hoped for and the picture even made me look good which is a very difficult task!!!:):):) Lauren and I will treasure this album for the rest of our lives.
I hope everything is going well with you. I can't tell you how much we miss Italy. Thank you so much for all you have done for us. You are wonderful.

Mrs and Mr Rizzo wrote as recommendation:
We are writing to let you know how completely satisfied and delighted we were with our wedding in Pienza last December! Everything was wonderful - the wedding and our entire trip was even better than we had dared to hope, and if we had the chance, we'd do it all over again!
We were a bit tentative at first to be organizing our wedding over the internet... It seemed like a big risk, and we weren't sure. But you were both so attentive to all of our questions and put so much time into helping us that we soon realized no one who was trying to 'scam' us would have the patience! We were also a bit worried about how everything would turn out... would the real thing be as wonderful as you were telling us? Well, it certainly was! We had you plan a large portion of our trip for us, and we were pleased with everything -- each town, each hotel, each tour guide -- and would recommend them without hesitation.
Finally, we must tell you how much we loved Pienza, where we were married. We wanted to be someplace intimate and romantic, and surely there is no town anywhere more intimate and romantic than Pienza! Our ceremony was very sweet, and we even received an official picture of the town. Our dinner was amazing... we are STILL telling our friends about it. The people of Pienza were extremely friendly and helpful -- the town is so small we saw just about everyone involved in our wedding the next day around town. Finally, our pictures (which arrived here at our home just a few weeks after we got back!) are absolutely beautiful!!! They are exactly what we wanted... again, better than we'd hoped for!
It was a fairy tale wedding, and perfect in every way. We can't recommend World Weddings service highly enough -- and if every consultant is as kind, patient, helpful, and sweet as the one we had (who travelled almost four hours on the train one day just to meet us!), every couple who has ever planned their wedding through you must be just as happy as we are.
Our very best regards,
Lauren and Michael Rizzo

Wedding in Siena and Tuscan Castle - October 2000

Please accept my sincere and heartfelt thanks for all your hard work, patience and extraordinary results in organizing Susan and Christopher's wedding. Please extend my special thanks to Laura and especially to Silvio. The personal attention and the warm reception we received along with all your concentration on details were so spectacular that I and all my family and friends felt as though your organization treated and assisted us as though we were a part of your family. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of Italy, the culture, the art in all forms and the historical significance of the sites that were used for the rehearsal dinner the wedding and the reception. The dinner at Massanera was an experience to cherish forever - both the warm attention of our Host and the exceptional food and drink were accented by the meaning and the setting. The beauty of Siena needs none of my weak description but I have to say the setting is burned in our fondest memories. Finishing all the events with the Castle for the wedding reception and party will be something I can tell my grandchildren about - like a dream come true. The methods of transport of all the events was executed so well that all the participants were both thankful for the convenience and appreciative of the pampering it provided. Thank you for a fantastic job well done.
Sincerely,
Michael Regan Ruser
LISA HEILMAN & PATRICK ILFREY
CATHOLIC WEDDING IN SIENA - October 2000
The wedding and honeymoon were great. We really enjoyed ourselves and fell in love with Tuscany. All the hard work was worth it! While we were there we took many photos and they turned out excellent.
We really liked the Hotel de la Ville in Florence. It was classy and comfortable. It was the perfect place to stay after the long plane ride from the U.S.
The walking tour at night and the half day tour of Florence were very nice.
It really saved us the trouble of using tour books since Marilyn knew just where to walk, all the most interesting sites and lots of history about each place she took us to.
The hotel we were most in love with was Castello di Spaltenna. It was so rustic, relaxing and beautiful. The chambermaids there helped me iron my dress and were so very helpful. Everyone was so kind and friendly. And there was such a great history and a wonderful view from our balcony. Also, Patrick loved walking down to Gaiole for lunch and shopping while I was having my hair set.
We both loved our wedding day. The hairdresser in Gaiole did a fabulous job on my hair. She made my hair look much nicer than the salon in Houston. Patrick liked so much how I looked that he brought her flowers!
The bouquet and boutonniere were beautiful and smelled wonderful.
The chauffeur driven tour was very nice and very interesting. We really enjoyed that .
All in all, we were very happy that it turned out so beautifully especially considering that we organized it in 6 weeks. We will always have a fond memory of Italy!
Thank you again for all your help.

Wedding in Siena, Italy (Tuscany)
The wedding was awesome! We absolutely cannot believe how wonderful our wedding day went. Silvio was a marvelous host!!! We loved him. He made everything run so smoothly. He was very polite and warm and we thoroughly enjoyed spending our wedding day with him. I really cannot say enough good things about him.
The photographer was equally great. He was really funny and I can't wait to see the pictures.
We loved Siena! World Weddings had recommended the city originally. It is now probably my favorite city in Europe (granted this may be partially because we got married there). The room we were supposed to be married in was under renovation so we were able to get married in the room with the "Allegory of Government" fresco. It was a beautiful room and building.
The food at Le Logge was spectacular! We heard rave reviews from everyone. The staff at the restaurant was wonderful. They made a very intimate atmosphere for the reception with the candelite dinner and the presentation of each course. Really a marvelous reception.
The flowers were absolutely beautiful. My bouquet came out better than I ever could have imagined! Every woman at the ceremony commented on the flowers.
Needless to say we really enjoyed our wedding and our trip. Our guests had a great time as well. The Garden hotel and the Villa Scacceapensieri were both wonderful. Thanks for helping arrange all of that for us.
The day of our wedding was better than we had imagined and it is because of you all that this is true!
Thanks for all of your services. We can't wait to see our pictures! |
