Beatrice and Alfresco Weddings, truly amazing wedding planner
We simply found Beatrice and Alfesco Weddings with a Google search. She was the most prompt and organized of the Tuscan wedding planners we contacted. We were planning a one-week Tuscan villa event for 32 people with the wedding day itself and various events and meals at the villa, including day trips.
Then we started working with Beatrice and she was truly unbelievable...organized, meticulous, resourceful, attentive, funny and calm. She had amazing suggestions for different events and her list of contacts for suppliers from catering to music and lights is endless. She went to great lengths to ensure each supplier was a good fit for out "style".
We met her in Florence in November 2023 about 6 months before the wedding to stay at our selected villa, wedding dress selection and catering tastings.
The wedding week and the day were absolutely flawless. Beatrice came to every event during the week to make sure there were no hiccups and even translated for the officiant and danced with us until 1am.
We cannot more highly recommend and endorse Beatrice and Alfresco Weddings for your special day.We simply found Beatrice and Alfesco Weddings with a Google search.

Incredible!
My husband and I used Roberta of Al Fresco Weddings as our wedding coordinator/wedding planner and we cannot say one bad thing about her! Since we were planning our Italian wedding from USA, Roberta was able to make many site visits and speak with the vendors at times we could not be there. She helped us from the early planning stages, which we changed venue location 3 times, until the very end. She was very patient with us and wanted our day to be perfect; she did not get annoyed with us when we changed our minds. Finally, we arrived a few days ahead of our wedding and met with Roberta and some vendors before the wedding to discuss specifics. She was there to help with our Welcome Dinner, helped set up each detail and decoration before our guests arrived, stayed until the end, and was back with us the morning of our wedding running between our church, venue, and hotel rooms to be sure everything was running smoothly leading up to the wedding. She was present with her team the entire day of our wedding, aware and made sure of everything that we wanted to happen during our special day. She always was so polite, so happy, and gave her input when we asked for her help in some decision-making. We spoke via email and WhatsApp; she was always available and included us in every update! There should not be one question in your mind, as a future bride and groom, if you should have Al Fresco Weddings plan your wedding, because the answer is YES!My husband and I used Roberta of Al Fresco Weddings as our wedding coordinator/wedding planner and we cannot say one bad thing about her!

Dubai > Italy Wedding with Roberta
Let me start by saying that we hit the jackpot with Roberta! Wedding planning isn't just her job, it is without a doubt her life's passion. I know this because it shines through in everything she says and does. Aside from actually deciding to have our wedding, hiring Roberta was the best decision that we made.
Since we're based in Dubai, we only met once ahead of the big day in order to choose our venue but this was not a problem. The level of communication/ responsiveness received throughout was exceptional and every step of the process ran on-time.
There are many, many moving parts when it comes to planning an overseas wedding and Roberta not only simplified things but was also able to connect us immediately with some of the best suppliers and vendors in their respective industries. She had a clear understanding of our vision, was kind enough to guide us with her expertise and made every effort to ensure that all of our needs were met within the timeframe and budget outlined. I truly feel that our happiness and unique needs were a priority throughout.
Getting to know Roberta was also a joy. She gave so much of her time to drive us around Italy for a few days to do viewings / menu tastings and we were met with big hugs when we arrived. She is just one of the kindest, sweetest and most genuine people we've ever met. We had the best time and really built up a good personal relationship whilst working together.
When the day itself came, there isn't anything to report. Every single person was timely and professional - the day/ night and following day ran without a hiccup. Roberta was onsite and available all day long - even catering for on the spot requests as they came up such as; sourcing extra ribbon from the florist when I decided last minute to do the ribbon cutting bouquet toss or locating an extra speaker for our pool party. These were both arranged within the hour.
By now it should be clear that Roberta demonstrates a true sense of care for her clients which I believe is hard to come by these days. She is a fantastic woman in every way and we feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know and work with her.
Roberta - we cannot thank you enough and would choose you every time. Wish we could do it all again! Love, Daryl & Daumantas xxLet me start by saying that we hit the jackpot with Roberta!

A great experience
Al Fresco Wedding is a great and innovative wedding planning solution for all your requirements. Our wedding planner, Roberta, readily understood our needs and vision. From the beginning, we knew our wedding would require a lot of attention and time as we were combining different cultures and a large guestlist. Nevertheless, Roberta was very excited for this challenge.
Roberta created a comprehensive plan for our wedding, offering us many options for vendors, negotiated contracts; as well as seamlessly worked with them when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID restrictions. Roberta was always one step ahead and we knew we could always count on her.
On the wedding weekend, Roberta and the team ensured that everything went smoothly, providing quick solutions to any last-minute changes. Our wedding would not have been the same without the support of Roberta and Al Fresco Wedding. We strongly recommend their services.Al Fresco Wedding is a great and innovative wedding planning solution for all your requirements.

Highly recommended Tuscany based wedding planner
We had initially reached out to Beatrice and the Alfresco team in 2019 regarding our plans for a destination wedding in Tuscany in June 2020. She had been referred to us by a family friend, and after our initial call with her we were convinced that she was the ideal planner for us. Unlike the other planners we spoke with, she completely understood our vision and requirements from the beginning. She was very good with managing our crowd size and our budget and gave us excellent options to choose from. During our initial visit to view the locations she had arranged everything very efficiently and also arranged wine tours for us with transportation in Chianti after the viewings were completed.
Unfortunately, we had to delay our wedding due to the pandemic and Beatrice and her team were seamless in terms of arranging alternate dates and ensuring that our originally selected venue and vendors remained the same. She was very prompt in addressing any issues and there was nothing that couldn’t be rectified through a quick call or email exchange.
We were finally able to have our wedding in July 2022, almost 3 years after our initial discussion with Beatrice and we are very thankful that she patiently dealt with all the delays and rescheduling. Even once we were at the wedding venue we were expecting to have to oversee the setup or be responsible for some tasks here and there but Beatrice assured her that everything was taken care of. We did not have to worry about anything from the time we checked in to the time we checked out, and that was all thanks to Beatrice. She ensured that everything ran like clockwork and everything was where it was meant to be. The final setup was stunning and our guests still continue to rave about the wedding.
We would not have been able to have our wedding without Beatrice and her team and will always be grateful that we were able to make such wonderful memories in Tuscany.We had initially reached out to Beatrice and the Alfresco team in 2019 regarding our plans for a destination wedding in Tuscany in June 2020.

great experience with beatrice for tuscany wedding
We worked with Beatrice over the course of 2 years to plan our wedding in Tuscany. She was extremely helpful navigating uncertainty during the pandemic and always kept us calm. Beatrice is very organized, responsive, and is a pleasure to talk to (& speaks great English!). We would not have been able to find such great vendors or do any of the coordinating without her. Any couple looking to plan an Italy wedding will be in great hands with Beatrice and her team.We worked with Beatrice over the course of 2 years to plan our wedding in Tuscany.

Best wedding
Our experience with Al Fresco Wedding company was the best! Our wedding planner was Roberta, who is the best wedding planner! We truly recommend her, because she is doing a job, what she really loves and we love her!
Roberta is really perfect, all the emails were very detailed and if we had some questions (and we had those a lot :)), she alway replied really fast. We always got a lot of options to choose from (party places, photographers, videographers, florists).
On the wedding day, Roberta took care of everything and we were able to enjoy our day, we would not change anything. The best team to help organize your dream wedding.Our experience with Al Fresco Wedding company was the best! Our wedding planner was Roberta, who is the best wedding planner!

Wonderful Wedding Planner & Dream Wedding!
Planning a wedding during a pandemic and across the world seems like it would be a challenging task, but it wasn't with Roberta from Al Fresco Wedding. My husband and I knew right away when we met Roberta over Skype that she was going to make all our dreams come true. Over a short period of time, we built a very strong relationship. It was clear that she listened, communicated and wanted to implement all of our desires when it came to our special day. Every vendor and service was exactly want we envisioned and more. Roberta made us a priority in every way and even bailed us out of a couple of sticky situations on the days leading to the wedding. We greatly value our relationship with Roberta and can't wait to see her next time we are in Italy.
We highly recommend working with Roberta and Al Fresco Wedding for a magical wedding experience!Planning a wedding during a pandemic and across the world seems like it would be a challenging task, but it wasn't with Roberta from Al Fresco Wedding.

Don’t hesitate hire Al Fresco Wedding to plan your dream wedding!!
Beatrice and Al Fresco Wedding are absolutely incredible. When we first decided we wanted to get married in Italy, I did lots of research looking for a wedding planner. I was referred to Beatrice from a previous couple who raved about her and when we met Beatrice I understood why.
We had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to covid! And every time Beatrice was there to make sure everything was planned perfectly. Throughout all the ups and downs and stress of trying to plan a wedding from another country during covid Beatrice was always there to support us and make sure that when we did finally have our wedding it was incredible. Al fresco wedding has so many connections to so many vendors that it made planning so much easier as well. When it came to finally having our dream wedding every single detail was carefully planned and taken care of over the entire wedding weekend. We can’t thank Beatrice enough for all she’s done for us and making our wedding dreams come true.Beatrice and Al Fresco Wedding are absolutely incredible.

Could have never done it without you!
Liz and the whole team from Alfresco Wedding were simply amazing. We were doubting to hire a wedding planner but in the end we are more than glad we did and it was worth every penny. Not only the standard service before, including the fact that Liz is perfectly fluent in both English and Italian (huge value add!!!) but also all the extra work and effort put in due to the slightly more special circumstances with Covid were incredible. On the weekend itself, it took a huge load off of our minds to know that Liz and the team were there to support which meant we could simply relax and enjoy. Liz was not only very friendly but also very accommodating, flexible and really understood what we wanted and tried her best to make our wishes and vision come true - great customer service and focus!Liz and the whole team from Alfresco Wedding were simply amazing.

Al Fresco Wedding Planners is the best choice for a Destination Wedding!
We found Al fresco Wedding from a search we did online and we contacted one of the wedding planners at Al Fresco called Roberta. For starters, Roberta is generous with her time, before we decided to go with Al Fresco Wedding, she spent a lot of time searching up the venues which she thought we would like and drafted us a proposal within our budget.
We were planning a wedding from England so we wanted to work with someone who we could trust and had our best interest at heart. As we are quite busy, we wanted to work with someone who could almost ‘take care’ of everything for us. We were also planning a wedding in the pandemic, so we had to be flexible but so was she. When travel was allowed between the UK and Italy, she went to ten venues with us which we had short listed and never rushed us, in fact she spent a lot of time telling us what the possibilities were at each wedding venue.
Roberta was happy to respond to any questions we had so we never had to wait for anything. She already has reliable contacts for vendors so everything was seamless when it came to short listing our favourites. The best part was the food, cake tasting as we got to spend time together and got to learn more about each other. It is really important to get along with the person who is planning your wedding and we really felt Roberta was not only our wedding planner but also our friend. Our families loved her!
The Wedding Day was absolutely beautiful, everything from the flowers to the food, to the dance floor was done perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about anything on our day, Roberta and her team took charge of the day completely. When we were having our first dance, whilst looking around I saw Beatrice and Roberta (her colleague) smiling at us proudly because they really cared about our special day. More importantly, she ensured we had our vision for the Wedding and we never felt pushed to do anything we did not want. Whilst we were in Italy for the planning, she was always available for us whether it was in person or over coffee/lunch! She never made a decision without us, she always checked our preference first and always gave us the advice we needed when it came to guest accommodations, logistics and ideas.
Lastly, we had arranged a photoshoot in Florence a few days after the Wedding and she decided to visit us which was very kind. After all the planning after a year, I must admit it was a little difficult to say bye because we spent a lot of time communicating with each other for about a year but we can confirm we are really glad we went with Al Fresco Wedding, we truly wish them all the best! If you’re looking to plan a wedding in Italy, then Al Fresco is there to help make your big day happen! Exactly the way you want!😊We found Al fresco Wedding from a search we did online and we contacted one of the wedding planners at Al Fresco called Roberta. For starters, Roberta is generous with her time, before we decided to go with Al Fresco Wedding, she spent a lot of time searching up the venues which she thought we would like and drafted us a proposal within our budget.
We were planning a wedding from England so we wanted to work with someone who we could trust and had our best interest at heart. As we are quite busy, we wanted to work with someone who could almost ‘take care’ of everything for us. We were also planning a wedding in the pandemic, so we had to be flexible but so was she. When travel was allowed between the UK and Italy, she went to ten venues with us which we had short listed and never rushed us, in fact she spent a lot of time telling us what the possibilities were at each wedding venue.
Roberta was happy to respond to any questions we had so we never had to wait for anything. She already has reliable contacts for vendors so everything was seamless when it came to short listing our favourites. The best part was the food, cake tasting as we got to spend time together and got to learn more about each other. It is really important to get along with the person who is planning your wedding and we really felt Roberta was not only our wedding planner but also our friend. Our families loved her!

Beatrice is simply the best
Choosing to work with Beatrice for our wedding was the first and best decision we made! We spoke with a few people initially but where some seemed disorganized, others were uptight and bougie. Then came Beatrice!
Not only does Beatrice have great taste and fantastic relationships, but she is also easy to work with throughout the entire process. We can't imagine planning and executing our wedding with anybody else.
For anyone thinking of getting married in Tuscany, do yourself a favor and hire Beatrice and her team on day one.Choosing to work with Beatrice for our wedding was the first and best decision we made!

Best Decision We Made
Hiring Beatrice was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding. My fiancé (at the time) and I were very particular about what we wanted and sure enough, Beatrice delivered. We connected with Beatrice right off the bat and felt that she truly understood our needs in comparison to other planners we interviewed.
Planning the wedding with Beatrice was one of the easiest experiences I've ever had. We would discus the topic of photographers and she would provide a selection of vendors. If we didn't like it, she would provide additional choices until we were satisfied.
Our wedding wasn't just one day but a 4 day long affair. We wanted all our guests to stay in one location but not at a typical hotel so they could really experience the charm Tuscany. She knew right away which venues fit the bill and sure enough, it exceeded our expectations.
Beatrice was always on top of everything and replied to any communication within 24 hours. She offered vendors at various price points so we could select what was important to us. All her vendors were top notch and completely amazing. She is extremely organized and everything went off without a hitch for all the days.
The thought of planning a overseas wedding without ever doing a site visit or meeting any vendors is extremely scary, but Beatrice made it all happen. All of our guests were so impressed with everything from the catering to the venue and felt they were at a celebrity's wedding. We can't thank Beatrice enough for a wonderful wedding and the stress-free time we had in Italy.Hiring Beatrice was one of the best decisions we made for our destination wedding.

Dream wedding
My Husband and I got married on the 1st June 2019 in Borgo Corsignano.
We chose to trust Beatrice and AlfrescoWedding for our wedding, and this was the best choice we've made.
Beatrice is excellent at doing what she does : it was so intense for us to prepare this event, and every time we had a doubt, she used to tell us "please, trust me, you won't be desappointed", and she was right. She works with excellent partners (Venues, Catering, flowers, photographers, DJ etc) in order to assure you the best quality of service on the best day of your life. I just couldn't expect more from anyone, they were all so good at their job, and doing it with a lot of enthusiasm. Everyone cared about giving the best for the guests and every guest is still telling us how beautiful this event was.
Even in my craziest dreams, my wedding wasn't so perfect !
Beatrice is SO nice, very professionnal and also a beautiful woman with a lot of style ! She has very good taste and makes sure that your wedding is up-to-date, with trendy details that will amaze you and your guests.
She can also be bossy, and that is a good point too ! During the organization, she'll make sure you complete your duties (make your choices), and on D-Day, thanks to her, you'll just have to care about enjoying this unique event, with family and friends, because she'll manage everything.
I would re-do it, exactly the same, again and again !
THANK YOU ALFRESCOWEDDING, THANK YOU BEATRICE !
The only problem is, that some of our guests now told us they wouldn't get married, because they're affraid not being able to reach that level of excellence ! Haha
If you're hesitating, then don't.
Your wedding with Alfresco is worth the money, and worth the energy !

Best Experience
Planning a Tuscan wedding while living time zones away in Denver, Colorado was a daunting task until Alfresco Weddings and especially Roberta took over the planning. From the first skype call I knew I was going to be in amazing hands. Roberta worked with me on all aspects of the wedding and truly understood our needs. On our planning trip to Italy about 5 months before the wedding, Roberta set up and accompanied us to various caterers to include Caterer and Florist. Together we picked the most perfect vendors for our wedding! While our wedding was not going to be a large affair, it was a time for our family and close friends to come together and celebrate with us. We wanted to start out the wedding festivities with a welcome reception and Roberta went as far as taking us on a walking Irish Pub tour to find our venue in Florence. Once we left Italy, we had everything buttoned down and the rest was smooth sailing with Roberta always on top of everything and replied to any communication at lighting speed.
When the big day arrived, Roberta and her team felt like a part of the family. Roberta made sure everything was executed to perfection and all our little touches were incorporated. We could not have had the wonderful wedding day that we did without the work of Alfresco Weddings and the ever-amazing Roberta!
We are forever grateful!

Wonderful Planning from Canada
Bea was always very responsive and prompt. Any issues I had she would resolve almost immediately. All of our paperwork and planning was perfect and even though we had a rainy day in the end the plan B she had planned was beautiful. Her assistants Liz and Roberta were there and very helpful as well. Would do it all over again or another event through Bea for sure!Bea was always very responsive and prompt.

Dream planner for beyond dream wedding
I first discovered Alfresco Weddings and Beatrice’s great work online by accident while searching for Tuscan holidays back in 2013, well before I was even engaged. Something about the amazing and personable weddings she had put together over the years stuck in the back of mind, so when I finally became engaged, I kept being returning to the idea of running away to Italy with our nearest and dearest. The idea was terrifying, but after deciding Beatrice was the one to place out trust in and make our dream day a reality, we got married in Italy in 2019, and it was our best decision.
We did our homework and researched other planners for our Tuscan wedding, but Bea was definitely the one for us who stuck out above the rest. From the start, she made an effort to understand us, get to know our personalities, let us take our time, and took on board all we envisioned for our day. Other planners had simply offered us what felt like cookie cutter templates and failed to match the boutique, warm, and welcoming personal service like Bea delivers. She was willing to work with our modest budget (which can be intimidating when trying to plan an affordable day in the wedding industry), our timeframe, our visions, and who we are as a couple. And best of all, you can tell she really loves and is passionate about weddings, and wants yours to be the best it can be.
I am a total control freak, and the idea of planning a wedding overseas at a venue I’d never even been was overwhelming, but having Bea in our corner while we had busy fulltime jobs made it all a smooth and enjoyable process…and even fun! Who said wedding are stressful!? On top of the day of our dreams, she helped put together a full day tour for our guests the day before our wedding to allow them to get to see the gorgeous Tuscan countryside and get to know each other, as well organise transport from Siena to the venue and back (a lot of our guests weren’t confident driving on the right hand side of the road coming from Australia and England). She turned our wedding into a smooth three day adventure, which left us absolutely floored and thankful to Alfresco Weddings for making everyone’s journey worth it.
Plan your day with Bea, you can’t go wrong. She is amazing value for money and peace of mind! The very first time I arrived at our venue just 48 hours before wedding day with all our guests in tow on a bus she’d organised, I was beyond overwhelmed and thankful for all she had done for us, getting our requests and the vibe for our event bang on, and was so glad I had placed my faith in her. She is local, knows the venues, knows the vendors, and is honest in her opinions. She was never far away to answer all my tiny little questions over the 18 months with patience despite the time difference. She had everything taken care of, from lining up hair and make up trials in a tiny hotel in regional Italy, shoring up the venues, creating back up plans for wet weather, offering options for crinkled wedding dresses, setting up on the day, coordinating all the vendors, and constantly working calmly behind the scenes to make sure the day flowed perfectly…and it did. Bea is also great at taking on late change of plans and amending the little things in the day, such as a change in guest numbers, weather, etc. As those planning a wedding know, it’s the little things which can make or break the day, and Bea has those small details mastered!
Having Bea on the ground on our day made us feel very calm and relaxed, knowing it was all in great hands. She helped us pull off a classy, close-knit, authentic Tuscan wedding that was more incredible than we could ever dreamed of, and way less stressful than I expected. Over the months of planning the most magical time of our lives with Bea she eventually felt like a friend to us, and we were very sad to say goodbye to her on our wedding night, but know she will help make so many other brides and grooms so happy!

My big day was absolutely perfect!!!
Beatrice crafted the perfect day for my small Tuscan wedding! We came to her looking for advice for an intimate Tuscan ceremony, and her service and follow through exceeded our expectations. She knew the exact venue that would be the right fit for us and was beyond helpful throughout the entire process. We couldn't have had such a magical day without her! She was extremely accommodating from beginning to finish and answered every question I had along the way. Her vendor recommendations were excellent, from music to photography to our celebrant.
Beatrice was wonderful in helping us wrap up all the final details the month before the wedding. I traveled from the US and can honestly say I wasn't worried about one single detail. Beatrice is dependable, trustworthy, and extremely kind—anyone would be in great hands planning their wedding with her help.Beatrice crafted the perfect day for my small Tuscan wedding!

Dream to Reality!
I've been putting off writing this review because I wanted it to be as perfect as the wedding day that Roberta and her team put together for us...
My husband and I decided to do a small destination wedding in Tuscany after becoming overwhelmed with the planning and logistics of bringing our friends and families together for a large ceremony in Southern California. We also knew that we were limited with the amount of time we could take away from our 65+ hour work weeks and wanted to make the most of our honeymoon. After several people reached out that they would love the opportunity to support us whilst simultanesously having their own trip in Italy, we did some extensive research and settled on Al fresco Wedding to guide us in our endeavors.
First off, the communication with Roberta via email was INCREDIBLE. She answered any and all questions or concerns we had almost immediately. There were times we found ourselves feeling guilty that we were slow in our own responses!
Also important to mention-we are not planners and were dreading making tedious decisions on decor, music, etc. Roberta made everything SO easy. She sent several options regarding every aspect imaginable based on the Pinterest board of the wedding I had envisioned. Every suggestion was on point and her additional suggestions only enhanced the experience for all.
It's important to mention that Roberta and her team were incredibly flexible with our ever-changing party size. We ultimately decided to rent out a villa for four days that could accommodate 22 guests. The property she found was right on budget and exceeded our expectations. Additionally, she arranged a winery tour and pizza party for our entire group.
After a 13 hour flight from CA and much delay, Roberta met us at the villa to ensure that we were comfortable and to discuss various location settings for the day of and alternative options in the event of rain. She was constantly checking in to ensure all was well throughout our stay.
The day of the wedding, there was nothing this amazing woman didn't think of. Not being people for the spotlight, my husband and I were a bit apprehensive about a ceremony that did not have a full rehearsal practice run. We were so wrong to ever have worried and absolutely everything was seamless: the ceremony, the musicians, the cocktail hour before being seated to a multi-course dinner where our guests were able to enjoy watching being prepared by the chef- to the cake cutting and dancing that followed.
It truly was a magical time..all of our guests complimented me on the "magical atmosphere I had created," but I didn't hesitate to tell them it was all Roberta and her team. She is as warm as she is professional and my husband and I are eternally grateful and will forever have these wonderful memories!I've been putting off writing this review because I wanted it to be as perfect as the wedding day that Roberta and her team put together for us...

Where to start?! Using Bea & her team was undoubtably the best decision we made for our wedding! Bea became more like a trusted friend than anything. She found us our dream venue- one we would never have found by ourselves! We had so much fun spending time with her and she made the whole experience just so enjoyable.
Bea has such amazing taste and her suppliers are true quality - we felt so lucky to have such authentic food and such lovely people involved in our big day.
The biggest thing for me, was how seamless and stress free our whole experience was- Bea & her professional team enabled us to just turn up on the day and have the time of our lives without thinking about a single thing- everything worked like clockwork and we just didn't stop smiling.
Can we do it all over again? :)
Without doubt, I would recommend BeaAlfresco to anyone and everyone who wants a beautiful and stress free day!
We love you Bea!!
Mr & Mrs Healy!

Dear Liz,
Russ and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving us the most amazing wedding and the best day of our lives.
The whole day surpassed our expectations. You did the upmost amazing job at co-coordinating all the elements to give us and our families a day we will never ever forget
Every-time we think back we have the biggest smiles on our faces.
from the photo - prop table, to the blankets, cake table and the pathway lined with candles it was all absolutely amazing.
Thank you for all your patience and hard work that you have put in over the last 7 months or so. You are just brilliant at what you do, your endless ideas and your calm approach to every situation is admirable.
you instantly "got us" as a couple, respected our budget and found us the best suppliers to fit our needs perfectly.
We really couldn't have done this without you
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Beatrice, and her team, there aren't enough amazing words to say about them, and what they did to make our dream wedding come true. On a scale of 1 out 10, with 10 being the best, my wife and I give Al fresco Wedding at least
100(yes, that is one hundred)!! Since we live in the USA, there could have been several barriers such as language, time change difference, exchange rates, etc., and Beatrice helped us defeat all of our worries. Ever since Nicole and I got married August 22, we had communication with Beatrice for approximately nine months, and she never once disappointed us and always replied in a timely manner, and with detailed responses and suggestions. Her costs don't even compare to the value that her team brings to the table, as we almost felt guilty that she may have been undercharging us. We had 45 guests fly over from the USA to be with us on our special day, and every one of them, especially myself numerous times, were in tears of joy and happiness sometime during the week we were in Florence resulting from the beautiful views Bea recommended to us for a venue, the wineries we visited for the day before the wedding to help us relax, the vendors she recommended for photography/videography, floral/decor, music etc., and of course the incredible service provided by Bea and her team. I do not hesitate at all when saying that everyone should get married in Italy, because it is the world's destination of Love, however, your Italian wedding will not be complete unless you have Beatrice and her team working for you.
PS, I prefer not to mention what Bea charged us in the questionnaire below as I am assuming that is confidential between her and each of her clients. Whatever quotation she gives you, trust me, it is a deal!!
