My husband and I are from the states and when we decided to get married in the Umbria region of Italy, which is not very touristy, we didn't realize just how hard it was going to be to plan when many in that region did not speak English. I was grateful my travel agent found Alessandra! From her very first email back to me I felt much more at ease. It's very stressful planning a wedding in another country; where you cannot go and see the venue, you don't know stylists etc. Alessandra viewed the venue for us, found us an amazing photographer who took pictures and sent them to us prior, and found an amazing hair & makeup artist. For months and all through the winter season Alessandra kept in touch every few weeks just to check in and see how things were going; even though our wedding was months away she constantly kept in contact which was very reassuring. We met her the day before our wedding when we arrived in Umbria for the hair & makeup trial with Nancy; and it was such a pleasure! She had everything under control, all coordinated with the villa, and timed out perfectly. On the day of our wedding, things could not have gone more smoothly. I felt no stress thanks to her planning. All I had to do was relax and get ready and she handled the rest with the photographer, flowers, dinner, etc. It was the most relaxing, loving, and beautiful experience. The ceremony and her words were absolutely beautiful; she really captured who we were as a couple. Nearly a year later she still keeps in touch with us every now and then. That goes to show not just what an amazing wedding planner she is, but what a wonderful person she is. She really connects with the couples she works with and it's very obvious that she loves what she does; which is likely why she is so wonderful at it.
