About

Above & Beyond a new brand company in Firenze but it is still me: Simona Coltellini, old enought to have more then 20 years experience in the wedding industry. Why now a new company? I did ask myself as well and to be honest with you it is because I love new challange and new adventures. I strongly believe in family and my husband (with me now for 30 years) and our two teen agers daughters wanted me to start this new company with more flexibility and more direct to the couples. So here I am. Born and grew up between Siena and Firenze, two steps from the Chianti and Val d'Orcia. No better location for a wedding or an elopment if Your Destination Wedding will be in Tuscany.

Simona is the best of the best

Simona at Above and Beyond Tuscan Weddings is simply THE VERY BEST OF THE BEST !!!!!!!!! Literally from our first conversation 18 months ago until the final wedding guest retired on the wedding day Simona was there for absolutely every little thing ( having organised all the major logistics ).
We arrived a few days before the wedding & Simona saw us every single day. She even alerted us to a closed bridge on our route to the destination, giving us an alternative & saving us hours on the journey. What other wedding planner would check your route like that. How kind it was.
In addition Simona married my daughter & son in law as she is certified to do. That was a huge saving of €1000 ,as she incorporated it into her very reasonable fee. Simona organised the venue ( CASALI DI BIBBIANO) ,flowers, catering, entertainment ,photography ,hair & make up ,& rehearsal .
She also suggested some wonderful Italian traditions such as the warming of the rings & blending of two wines together so that Jenna & Johnny could drink from the same challis.
As well as sorting a coach to ferry guests to and from the venue and the airport, she even took the drivers number & spoke to him that morning to double check the meeting point.
Most touching of all was when we arrived at the Town Hall to complete paperwork. Simona gave Jenna a beautiful bouquet to hold. This detail hadn’t even occurred to us with everything going on. It was this attention to detail that made EVERYTHING PERFECT.
If you are thinking of marrying in Tuscany, there is no more beautiful place on earth. If you want to do it with ALL THE FUN AND NONE OF THE GRIEF , then Simona is the woman to make it happen.

Wedding of my dreams

I cant recommend the incredible Simona enough!
When we decided to get married in tuscany we knew we were going to need some help being from the UK ourselves.
We met Simona in 2021 and from that day she was great, we went out to Italy 3 times before our wedding and Simona would meet us each time, taking us to the florists, caters for food and wine tasting, organised hair and make up trials, to the town hall. She even invited my partner and I to join her family for pizza at a local restaurant, how incredibly kind is that. Simona also drove us to our wedding venue just so we could see it for one last time before our big day in a few months time.
I really don't know how we would of had the wedding day of our dreams if it wasn't for all the help from simona, she even let me whatsapp her instead of email as that's my preferred way of communicating.
She helped right up to the last minute and even when I realised we didn't have time to order a seating plan, simona organised this in Italy for me, bringing it to the venue with a aisle stand.
Her attention to detail was beyond measure.

Simona became more than a wedding planner but mine and Johnnys friend. She even married us! Adding extra special touches such as warming of the wedding bands to all our guests and a wine ritual where you join two wines together, perfect as we got married in a vine yard!
Thankyou simona for everything ❤️
