Lara B. Sent on 05/28/2024Can’t recommend enough! 10/10
Samuele was so professional from the beginning. Initially we had our entry call and he asked us our criteria etc and sent us a HUGE spreadsheet of venues to review according to our criteria. We went to view 4 of them with him in 1 day and found our venue from that. He is super knowledgeable and helpful with sourcing vendors such as hair/makeup, flowers etc. He sent links to their websites etc so we could see which ones fit our needs best. He handled all communications and payment deadlines etc..
Always super responsive even to last minute requests such as transportation on the day, change of day 2 venue etc.
On the weekend he was there the entire time and really made sure everyone / everything was going smoothly. He took away any stress from us on the day so we could just enjoy the day to the maximum! He is an absolute superstar and I would pick him again in a heartbeat!
It’s very daunting putting your trust in someone in another country to plan your big day, but our day couldn’t have gone any better if we tried! 5 stars all round! -

Wedding in Tuscany
Samuele was a fantastic wedding planner from start to finish. He made the process of getting married in Italy a simple one. He gave us clear choices and sourced exactly what we wanted for our wedding in Tuscany. Samuele was thoughtful, helpful and there at every step of the process and made our big day one we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Samuele! -

Excellent, highly recommend.
Planning a wedding abroad can be a stressful time especially during a pandemic. Samuele was a pleasure to work with, extremely professional and responsive to all our queries. He is incredibly calm and kept us at ease at every step. His event management experience made our day very memorable and was the day we dreamt of. On a personal note, Samuele is a lovely guy and we got on straight away.

Amazing experience!
I cannot put into words how amazing it was to work with Samuele and our venue at Casa Cornacchi in Tuscany. Samuele was patient and responsive throughout the entire 2 year process it took to plan my wedding through all the issues with COVID. My actual wedding ended up being a dream come true for sure and it would not have been possible without him. I highly recommend this company for all your wedding needs!Il Cerimoniere Italian Weddings's reply:

Lago Maggiore Wedding June 2022
Samuele was amazing from the start! He was very responsive and willing to always go above and beyond :) we heard about him through a coworker who had a destination wedding in Italy (Tuscany region) several years prior. We reached out prior to COVID and got the process going for our northern Italian wedding. Samuele had not done many weddings in this area before, but we are hopeful this will allow him to grow his business in this region. He was able to contact all vendors to change our contracts when we had to push the wedding for a year. He was able to put multiple contracts in one to keep it precise and simple. We were able to easily do money wire transfers as well! He met us an another event we had just days prior allowing him to finally meet us :) he was willing to help organize multiple events within our contract. The rehearsal and day of wedding he was immaculate. He kept it as stress free for us as the bride and groom. He was coordinating everything wonderfully. We will miss working with him after two years, but are honored we got the privilege to do our wedding with him as our biggest help. Grazie mille! Hope to meet again! -

Experience
Working with Samuele and his wife was wonderful. Being from NJ and never being able to visit the venue before hand was a little scary, but they made everything SO easy. Samuele was extremely responsive and always attended to all my emails and calls immediately. Anything we asked he made happen. We planned 4 days worth of events for 90 people all flying in from the US and everything went perfect. He was there for every event always making sure things were running as they should. I could not recommend them more! -

After wedding planning in Chicago became too stressful.. we decided to ditch the traditional wedding and go to Italy! I stumbled across Il Cermimoniere Italian Weddings online and I am so grateful I did! Sam did an amazing job from start to finish! He is so kind and attentive. The entire process was completely stress free. Our wedding was romantic, just the two of us in Positano overlooking the town and the sea. It was absolutely magical! Not to mention our week long honeymoon traveling all through Italy.. from Pompeii to Naples, Rome, & Florence. The hotels, tours, trains, cooking class... everything was fantastic! All thanks to Sam! :) I highly recommend anyone to use his company. -

Phenomenal
I never knew planning a Wedding in another Country could be so effortless. I was able to communicate by email which was perfect for my busy life. Samuele was on top of planning every aspect of our wedding the Venue, Music, Hair, Makeup, Flowers, Photographer, Dinner anything I wanted. I never had a question he didn't have an answer to. He even planned the Itinerary for our 20 day trip to Italy Hotels, Private Transfers, Trains and Tours. Samuele's wife Eleonora also played a huge role in the translating of all paperwork and the Ceremony. You will not find a better Husband and Wife Duo to plan your Wedding!! -

We found Samuele through a blog post someone else wrote about their wedding that was planned by him and his team. We loved the way the wedding looked fun, relaxed, easy going and beautiful. Just what we wanted.
Working with Samuele was a pleasure. We maybe didn't have as big a budget as he sometimes works with with others so we had to take some time to figure out together what we did and did not want or need in our wedding. But Samuele was accommodating changing his suggestions and recommendations as he got to know us better.
We went out to Italy (we live in Scotland) to look at venues with him which was great and we really recommend as it allows you to spend time with Samuele and get a sense of what is available. We ended up choosing the beautiful Castello di Meleto which was absolutely perfect.
Samuele is very responsive and always made time for catch up calls and to answer all of our many many emails. On the day, his team was great and everything went perfectly. Even when it unexpectedly started pouring down his team managed to quickly set up inside and save as much of our plans as was possible. Our guest didn't mind in any case, it was a perfect day.
We would definitely recommend working with Samuele. Especially if you have quite a good idea of what you want, he will make sure it becomes a reality. -

They brought our dream wedding to life!
A huge thank you to Samuele and his wife Eleonora!! We cannot recommend them enough!! The wedding they put together for us was nothing short of magical and they were extremely professional and helpful along the way. Planning a destination wedding can be difficult to do when we weren't able to see the venue or anything in person until the wedding, but Samuele and his team of vendors were able to put everything together that we wanted and make it as stress-free as possible for us. They absolutely nailed everything that we wanted in the wedding, and many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding that they've ever been to! Everything was perfect; the venue, the food and drinks, the decorations and flowers, the entertainment, everything! They were also extremely helpful when it came to planning activities for our family and guests for all 3 days that we stayed at the villa such as a wine tasting, a rehearsal dinner and a tour of Siena. This was a weekend that we'll never forget and if we could it all over again we would! Thank you again from Nicole and Matt!Il Cerimoniere Italian Weddings's reply:
Thank you so much Matt and Nicole, we are so happy that we contributed to realize your dream wedding in Italy. It has been a real pleasure working with you and we wish you all the best for your married life! Samuele & Eleonora -

Beautiful Tuscan Wedding!
We loved working with Samuele! He was very knowledgeable, always with an answer to any of our questions and made planning a wedding abroad easier than I would have ever thought. His kindness and attention to what mattered most to us made the planning experience and our wedding day both special and stress free. I'm still in awe at how everything came together even more amazing than I could have ever imagined! Many thanks so Samuele and even his father (helped set up day of) for all the hard work in making our day one to remember forever!Il Cerimoniere Italian Weddings's reply:

We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Samuele. He made everything seem effortless. We had a stress free wedding. It was a little scary planning a wedding in Italy from California, especially to plan a wedding somewhere we had never been to and not speaking a bit of Italian, and pulling it off in approximately 3 months in peak wedding season (September) Samuele walked us through every step So we could have an amazing wedding!! Samuele never made us feel like any of our questions were silly and he was very quick to respond to each and every request. Whatever we asked for, he made it happen. From the venue location, the violinist, the flowers, the photographer, legal documents, transportation options, restsurants, travel information, translation and so so much more!!! After contacting several wedding planners Samuele was the only one who followed thru We highly recommend Il Cerimoniere Italian Weddings and Samuele. We couldn’t have pulled it off without you. Thank you for everything
