"...This note is to express our heartfelt gratitude for everything you and your organization did for our recent wedding. Throughout the entire process, you were able to answer all our questions and provide the information we needed to confidently plan our dream day. Prior to our arrival in Italy, both we both had a vision of what our Wedding day would be like. What we experienced was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. The thought of being husband and wife was thrilling enough, but when coupled with the beauty, romance and atmosphere of San Gimignano, Italy, our dream became reality on a magical scale. Every detail of our wedding was perfect. The driver, photographers, videographer, flowers and dinner.... everything was wonderful and very well planned. Our wedding day will be an event we will always remember on the grandest scale. We both feel that we were not only fortunate enough to come across your website, Italy Weddings, and your services, but we felt that our time with you was time spent with a friend. You truly provide an unbelievable service and we wish you the best. We have attached the picture taken of the three of us in San Gimignano, the evening of our wedding. Please share with your staff and associates our gratitude and happiness..." Ron and Cindy "...The entire event was more than we could have hoped for and we are already making plans to revisit Italy. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, and appreciate all of the effort that you put forth to help make it as successful as it was..." Jill and Joseph "...Louis and I just wanted to say how much we appreciated your efforts on our behalf. You worked under an extremely tight time schedule and even as last minute paperwork catastrophes or bad weather loomed ahead, your capable, reassuring and unflappable manner made us feel safe and gave us no doubt that we would have the beautiful wedding day that we had. Our guests were happy, relaxed and delighted with the food and the villa and many expressed how impressed they were with how smoothly the day unfolded. Many thanks to your wife, Marisa, for the lovely flower arrangements (they garnered much praise from all of our guests) and thank you so much for giving us the happiest day of our lives! Louis especially loved the jazz band and singer you recommended. We added a whole bunch of requests that weren't originally "your job" but which you graciously handled for us (welcome baskets, dress pressing, nail/salon appts, etc.). I still can't believe how low-key and calm you were the afternoon before the wedding when you found out the documents from Rome were the wrong ones - your calm made me feel extremely safe that everything would be okay. You are a true gentleman and it was wonderful working with you. Karen and Louis "...We wanted to write to you rather than e-mail you to ensure we would put some feeling and personal touch into the thanks that we wanted to pass on to you for everything that you did to make our day so perfect. There are many people who have chosen careers just like yours, where you are serving many people at the same time, but you really made us feel like we were the only people that mattered, and thatour special day was important to you just as much as it was to us. Many of our guests commented on what a lovely man you were, your patience and effort greatly surpassed anything we expected. We will never forget the day that you helped us organize, and neither will our guests. Please accept our huge and heartfelt thanks for helping us put together the wedding we had dreamed of - it was nothing short of perfect and we have you to thank for that..." Alexandra and Andrew "...A belated e-mail to offer a very heartfelt and sincere thank you. Doug and I couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out. Our guests told us again and again how absolutely flawless and magical the evening was. We have been quick to remind them that although we came up with the idea, you were the person who made it all happen! Thank you...." Jen and Doug Flynn "...Dear Ben, we have been busy trying to catch up at work after our long vacation. We were perfectly pleased with all the arrangements. We thought the ceremony was so beautiful. I was amazed that the flowers turned out to be my favorites - color included. Thank you so much for all your help. The album is perfect - please compliment Stefano for us. Thanks again - you did a great job of coordinating for us...." Phylis and Charles "...Over a year ago, we decided we would like to do something different for our Wedding, something special in a beautiful location, where both ourselves and our guests could celebrate our exchange of vows in a very special way. Florence, the city where the Renaissance was born, full of history and charm was the perfect place, but, could we get married there? Yes, is the answer in short, thanks to Italyweddings. Every single detail was perfect. The Service was very special and the bouquets were beautiful; the reception was so elegant yet fun, the food was exquisite and the music fantastic. Every guest had a fantastic time, and as for us, well it was unbelievable, all we could have possibly wanted and more..." Leslie and Christopher "...John and I had such a fantastic wedding in San Gimignano and you were right, it is the most beautiful place - we both fell in love with the town and I am sure many an anniversaries will be spent there. Even the market on the day did not spoil the event - it was superb. Thank you for your help in the planning of one of the most special days of our lives. I cannot wait to see the photo's! Kath and John "…..Hello, Ben! Just wanted to let you know that Patrick and I made it home safely. We can't thank you enough for all your help-everything went wonderfully. We recently had more of our wedding pictures developed - they turned out beautifully! We'd also be happy to serve as satisfied customer references should you wish....." Elizabeth and Patrick Foley "....Dear Ben, Thank you for creating an extraordinary wedding day for us. Mel and I both felt we were somehow dropped into a fairy tale. It was wonderful and I do appreciate all your efforts...." Lisa and Melvin Butler "....Hi Ben: Thought you would like to know that the photos arrived, and were just fabulous, except for the lack of hair on my part. We were so pleased with all that you did for us! Looking for services by email has its concerns, and as you probably surmised from my prior communications, I was apprehensive. ....Dear Ben, I know that Sherwood has conveyed our appreciation and thanks for all that you did to make our wedding a truly unforgetable experience, but I would also like to thank you. Everything went so perfectly and smoothly, except for the rain, which I understand is good luck and really didn't put a damper on the day. I feel like we were part of a fairy tale! Tamara and Sherwood Kelly "....We would just like to say an extremely huge thank you, to you for ensuring our day went so smoothly, It was just perfect, and could not have happened without your caring help and attention to detail along with always regarding our requirements. The restaurant was fantastic the food was delicious. Everyone there being very helpful and patient. Altogether a great success story. a million thank you's!!..." Barry and Nicole Miller "....Hello Ben, Thank you so much for helping us to have such a beautiful wedding! You were wonderfully attentive to every detail and we had complete confidence in your abilities. The ceremony and lunch were incredible and both greatly exceeded our expectations. Warm Regards, Diane and Mark ".....Thank you again for an absolutely stupendous wedding. After lunch, we took a walk by the Arno, and a small group of elderly Italians wished me "Auguri," so I ended up giving my bouquet to them, at which point they all kissed me. Wow! Things like that never happen in Chicago! Dana and Nick
