The vision

Andreea and Raees' notes

Our groom was heavily involved in the planning which can be unusual in our work, so Fede was happy to be dealing with both ideas and suggestions.

Quite a few details were memorable about this couple, not least the idea of having a double celebrant, both people chosen by our sweet Andreea and Raees who were in fact one bridesmaid and one groomsman.

The entertainment post-dinner had to be scenic and epic. That's why we included the wonderful effect of a Prosecco champagne tower, the live preparation of the Millefeuille cake and the cutting with a 10 countdown all toghether with fireworks decorating the sky.

The action plan

How did we pull it off

In the presence of their 83 guests, we witnessed another wonderful blend of cultures from east and far far east in the world coming together to give their blessing to the union of dear Andreea and Raees. Despite the early preparations, a looming summer storm stole the attention of the outdoor ceremony which meant we all had to wait it out for about an hour. Contingencies are a big part of an event and the quality of a good destination planner is for sure connected with their readiness and steady feet to think on. In true WeddingItaly fashion, we did deliver.

Our catering partner was outstanding in going with the flowing changes and it’s fair to say that they really did go far and beyond. Once the setup had been returned to the manicured gardens and the final ok was waved from the team onsite, we let the guests walk to their seats and the wedding march could begin.

The day ended with an epic party, we saw people dancing their hearts out and loving the music of the band The Knights, well done you two on making so many right choices and letting us shape your big dreams into reality.
