Testimonials

Debora and Simonetta were the dream team that despite COVID hurdles made the wedding of our dreams come true in beautiful tuscany at an affordable price. I highly highly recommend them! They have an exceptional ability to turn what you are thinking of into reality. Every detail was tailored exactly to what we wanted, starting with a truly unique venue, design, timings, organization and coordination of all the different vendors from caterers to make up and photography. On top of that they are warm and professional women who we really enjoyed working with. We highly recommend Italian events planners if you are looking for a unique wedding in the heart of tuscany that is tailored to your dreams as well as ensuring use of local products and vendors. We wish we could do it all over again.

Silvia and Mary were a fantastic team who turned our dream wedding into a reality! We are so incredibly grateful for all their support, professionalism and expertise that meant our wedding went perfectly.

When we found Silvia and Mary we explained to them our dream vision for a three-day wedding in Umbria where we could celebrate my 30th birthday, our wedding, and bringing together our guests from Italy, UK, Argentina, Spain and other parts of the world.

Together, Silvia and Mary were a superb team who made this happen. They helped us find the perfect venue that could host everyone and allow us to fulfill all the things we wanted for the weekend. They created a perfect plan A and B (thankfully we didn’t need plan B), helped coordinate all the amazing vendors, managed the church paperwork process, kept things organized, designed a beautiful welcome party, a fabulous church and aperitivo setting and the dinner table decorations blew everyone away.

Whenever we had questions both Silvia and Mary were always available and ready to help guide us and support us. We couldn’t have done it without them!

Thank you to Silvia and Mary for being such a fantastic team. We are so grateful to you both, thank you so much! Grazie mille!

We did not know what to expect when planning a destination wedding, but Silvia met and exceeded every expectation throughout the process. From the moment we started working with her, she helped us to plan and prepare for every aspect of our wedding. She helped us find a gorgeous, intimate venue in Umbria that was everything we were looking for and more.

We could not have asked for someone more thoughtful, detail-oriented, and thorough. Not only was she helpful for all months leading up to the wedding, she was incredible on site. She came to the rehearsal dinner and the full wedding day, and her calm and organized demeanor helped as she coordinated vendors, hotel staff, and wedding guests with ease.

We never had to worry about a single thing– the entire week went so smoothly. We cannot thank Silvia enough for all that she did for us, and we would truly recommend her to anyone. By the end of the time with her, she truly felt like family!

We had a great experience with IEP. They did an excellent job of creating our unique vision for our wedding. I truly could have never executed our special day without them. I merely showed them inspiration photos, provided a budget, and they did the rest. Then, they went above and beyond just planning our wedding. They also helped us and all our guests plan transport, lodging, activities, etc. to ensure everyone had an amazing vacation. I could not have asked for a better team to work with, and consider them life long friends.

Italian event planners are the most kind, professional and high quality wedding planners out there! They really make you feel comfortable for any request and go above and beyond to meet your expectations.
All of our guests mentioned how well planned and co ordinated our wedding was and noticed that the planners were very professional. While being professional, they make you feel like they are your friends and really go above and beyond to cater to your needs.
Thank you so much Illaria and Annachiara!

Ho scelto “Italian event planners” perché conoscevo già Serena . ha organizzato il matrimonio dei miei sogni lo scorso ottobre 2024.
Ho avuto una spalla su cui contare per tutto il lungo viaggio dell’organizzazione, una persona professionale che mi ha aiutata a scegliere il meglio per il mio evento . Un grazie speciale anche al resto del team presente al mio matrimonio che mi ha supportata anche emotivamente , siete state tutte fantastiche .
Io e Andrea siamo molto felici di aver scelto voi ! Scelta che rifarei altre mille volte !

Where do we even start… with these amazing ladies who planned out dream wedding in Italy. The Italian event planning team (Ilaria, Annachiara and Valentina) were extraordinary when planning our wedding. They paid attention to every detail we wanted in our wedding. They were honest from the start and always guided us to making the right decisions. They were always a phone call away, no matter where they were. They dropped everything and responded to our requests. They were always there for us for the happy moments, the stressful moments, but most importantly they always reassured us that everything will be ok. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, but with this team of ladies, they made it so effortless. They aren’t just event planners when planning your wedding. They become part of your family, which makes every moment super special. There shouldn’t be any anybody else planning your wedding other than the Italian event planners. We are forever grateful for them. Thank you, ladies for being part of the biggest moment of our life and for making our dream come true.

If you wish to plan and execute the wedding of your dreams, no matter the size and complexity, Ilaria is the person you need to go to!
From the very first call, she has been accommodating, respectful, creative and professional in each and every task in making our dream wedding come true. She helped us through each step of the planning process with great patience and understanding and introduced us to the top professionals Italy has to offer. We have been truly mesmerized by the highest quality suppliers that she works with and most importantly she did an amazing job managing these tricky suppliers to create a 3-day event no one will forget!
It is a difficult job making someone else’s vision come true, but we can confidently say she was able to do just that! Especially with our unique Eastern European cultures to which she may have not been accustomed to. She was able to beautifully marry our desire for a traditional Italian feel and aesthetic with our Eastern European traditions – Truly an amazing accomplishment!
It was a complete pleasure working with Ilaria and by the end of the wedding, she felt like a member of our family! She treated our wedding as if she were to be planning for her own daughter by pouring her heart and soul into our wedding. The family atmosphere, honesty and compassion gave us the wedding we always imagined and wanted and we have Ilaria to hugely thank for that.
Thank you Ilaria and your team!

Serena Ilaria e Silvia ci hanno fatto vivere al meglio uno dei giorni più importanti della nostra vita.
Tutto organizzato nei minimi dettagli, ogni scelta che abbiamo fatto ci è stata suggerita dopo ricerche specifiche volte a proporci il meglio. Il nostro più che un matrimonio per noi doveva essere una grande festa di celebrazione del nostro amore e così è stato senza stress e tutto molto easy. Il tutto svolto nei bellissimi borghi abbruzzesi di Rocca Calascio e Santo Stefano di Sessanio la particolarità di questi posti ha reso ancora più suggestivo l’evento. Consigliatissime💓

Ilaria and her team were beyond amazing! From the very first video chat we had, Ilaria was fantastic in understanding what we wanted our wedding to be, especially since we are from the UK, and she knew exactly what was needed to be done to make our dream wedding come true. Meeting Ilaria for the first time when we went to view the venue, meet the vendors and do the food tasting, it felt like we were saying hello to a close friend. Someone who we had known for years! Such a kind, loving person and we’re so glad she came into our lives and gave us our perfect wedding. We had a difficult journey with Covid leading to us having to postpone the wedding but Ilaria was with us through it all and reassured us that the wedding will still be perfect, and it certainly was! We had our dream wedding in Lake Como and all I can say is it was a fairytale. Something even are guests are saying – a fairytale wedding. Everything was perfect on the day and was so seamless. Ilaria and the team were there through everything. They were so friendly and welcoming and became part of our wedding family. They were very professional throughout the whole journey and always made sure we were happy, giving us the best advice and suggestions as they were so experienced. We thank Ilaria and the team for the past two years of sticking by our side and catering to our needs and wants. We highly recommend Italian Event Planners, they will bring your dream wedding to life! It was truly the best day of our lives and something we will now hold wonderful memories of.
Grazie Mille!

Ilaria and her team created the most wonderful wedding celebration for us. It completely exceeded our expectations, it was magical!! Ilaria was so lovely to work with and listened carefully to how we imagined our day. She took our criteria on day 1 and suggested the perfect villa for us, we didn’t even need to see another venue. We had a welcome dinner, the wedding day and a goodbye pizza party – everything was sensational. Illaria brings an amazing and passionate attitude and all of our friends and family loved her. We cannot thank you enough.

Our experience with Ilaria and her team was wonderful. Right from the first meeting on video conference where we immediately felt her passion, enthusiasm and just generally a really warm vibe. Ilaria took away the stress and confusion of us needing to organise our wedding in a different country where neither myself or my husband speak the local language. She was able to offer us things that we hadn’t thought about and work with the best local suppliers to make our dreams a reality. Thanks to her, we had the best week of our lives celebrating our wedding and they always went the extra mile to make us happy and feel relaxed.

Thank you Ilaria, we are forever grateful!

I could not possibly recommend Debora and Simonetta with Italian Event Planner’s Tuscany team more!! They went above and beyond in every aspect of the process and will give you the wedding of your dreams. You are likely reading this because you are trying to sort through the many emails you’ve received from potential wedding planners and need to figure out who to move forward with. I am SO lucky that I ultimately chose this team and I’m telling you to just stop your search now and book them as your planning team 🙂

I was unfortunately a “COVID bride” and had a very difficult, drawn out, stressful, and uncertain wedding planning process and timeline, even within the weeks leading up to our event, simply due to the ever-changing pandemic situation and the travel rules between the USA and Italy.
But I am beyond thrilled to report that we totally pulled off our September 2021 wedding in Tuscany, all thanks to Debora and Simonetta!
Our wedding was absolutely incredible in every way and you can trust them to do everything that you are dreaming of for your own day.

I am a VERY particular type-A, stubborn, direct, opinionated, New Yorker and was likely an absolute bride-zilla at times, who quite frankly never took “no” for an answer. Debora was always lovely (but honest!) in her responses to my many demands/requests, and she and Simonetta were able to negotiate with every single vendor in the ways that I asked for. That alone is something that not every wedding planner can deliver on.

Their recommended vendor lists were wonderful and varied, also based on your personal wedding vision, budget, etc. and we are so glad that they had so many great professional standing relationships with so many wedding vendors in Tuscany.

Debora and Simonetta dedicated countless hours to our wedding planning and execution from February 2020 until after our wedding day on 9/8/2021 (over a year and a half). They helped to ease my nerves and aid in my decision on whether to move forward with our wedding or not- I cannot even imagine if I had decided to cancel or move our date!
I spent 3 different occasions with these women, first on my original site visit trip with my husband in Sept 2020, when we went to see all of the Tuscan castle venues in person. My second trip was a vendor visit, for tastings, MUAH trials, site tours, etc. in May 2021, and finally our wedding trip in Sept 2021. Because of our many in-person meetings and meals, in addition to our countless email/text exchanges, I got to know this team extremely well and now that my wedding has come and gone, I even miss working with them!

Debora is the one you will work with on a regular basis/directly correspond with and Simonetta is the woman behind-the-scenes who deals with all the vendor relationships and contracts- they are a dream team!

So in summary, I could not possibly imagine a better wedding planning team experience and for their incredibly fair rate. Do not hesitate to book these amazing women for your Tuscan dream wedding!
