Thank You > Paola & Gianluca

Gianluca and I cannot thank Valentina enough for all she did for our wedding. We contacted her 1 year in advance (organizing a wedding from abroad isn’t easy) and she provided us support for the whole 12 months, keeping fully in touch with us at all stages through emails, Skype and personalized appointments during our trips in Italy. She listened to all our ideas, no matter how unusual or seemingly trivial, and had plenty of ideas of her own to inspire us about all sorts of details that we had not thought about. We were really less stressed out but, at the same time, we enjoyed planning and being in control of our wedding: in fact, Valentina never imposes, she always proposes and what she suggested was classy and tasteful (she proposed us an artist who realized handmade and personalized wedding favours: simply sublime!). Valentina was with us from the first step to the last, helping us navigate the details and taking care of all the practical (and often annoying) work. Concretely, we worked together until we found something that suited our ideas; then she helped us to manage everything within a budget, made all the calls and even reminded us of the things that only Gianluca and I could do.

It was not easy working with such a historical venue (an 11-century church in the middle of Piedmont hills) but Valentina's experience helped the whole event run smoothly. In particular, she proposed us a florist, whose flower arrangements and lighting brought the church to life, turning it into a magical and fairy place without hiding its beauty. The day of the wedding she and her husband Ernesto were simply perfect: organized, charming, friendly with the guests, and everything was absolutely fantastic. She managed to capture exactly how we wanted our wedding to look and she succeeded! Moreover, she also organized a special, separate space for the children with their own food and childcare and it was absolutely perfect (all the parents were very pleased with the baby-sitter).

I think that what will stay in my mind is the calm elegance of Valentina and her friendly smile. She was great!
