Eric and I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for everything. The wedding was a HUGE success, fairy tale wedding for sure!
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was. Everything ran unbelievable smooth, you were incredible.
It was a wonderful and an unforgettable event, much of it because of you. Forget about the change, or else buy something that will remind you of us.
Surely we’ll be in touch and we’ll share with you the pictures and the video when we’ll have it. We all love you and are very much grateful for what you did for us.
We are from the UK and had been in Italy some years before and fell in love with Tuscany. So when we decided to get married Tuscany was top of our list. We started off going to local UK travel experts, and quickly decided the best way for us was to hire an Italian expert. Apart from all the traditional wedding planning, there is a significant amount of legal logistics to get through. We found Daniela via google and selected her and one other Italian wedding planner. When we spoke to her we just knew she was the right person, with excellent English and great experience in wedding planning. Daniela organised everything from the legal side in Italy to organising the wedding ceremony, and the celebration dinner with the hotel we had selected. She organised the wedding celebrant, 2 photographers (who were all fantastic), flowers, coach travel to/from the airport, table decorations. The list just goes on, Some of the things that were available but we decided not to do were, string quartet, visiting hair dresser and make up artist. She was always efficient and friendly and occasionally bossy to make us get on with stuff! She had a flexibility on the amount of time she spent versus the budget we tried in vain to stick to.
If you are looking for someone to organise your wedding in Tuscany and the surrounding cities of Florence or Siena look no further than Daniela.
Watch out though you will need to plan around 6 months in advance if you want to remain as stress free as possible, and there is a lot of chasing around the English legal framework which you will just have to accept.
Thank you Daniela and team for the most beautiful Tuscan wedding
I don’t think I have the proper words to express exactly how grateful I am to Daniela and her staff for organizing the most amazing and beautiful
wedding. I was researching wedding planners in Tuscany a few months ago and came across Daniela. Once I spoke to her I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. I had spoken to other planners but no one else seemed to have her passion, her vision and personable skills. She was always quick
to respond to emails or calls. She was always very patient, quick to resolve any issues, she knew what I wanted before I even needed to say it.
I even made things difficult for her and requested to have an Indian welcome dinner. And she took on the challenge and organized an amazing
evening with Indian dancers, Indian music and colourful, ethnic decorations. The wedding itself was something out of this world. People are still commenting how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Her ideas and attention to detail are incredible. I cannot tell you enough how absolutely happy I was with Daniela and her team. I would recommend them without hesitation!!
It was not easy for us, living thousands of miles away, to leave our daughter’s wedding organisation to a wedding planner. In addition to the distance problem due to work commitment we could, you could come to Italy only once and only for two days.
It is not easy to handle such a situation when you consider that there may be a thousand obstacles: the rooms to the guests, the confetti, the flowers, the ceremony, the location, the room … our luck was choosing DANIELA. … as a wedding planner of the whole event with great skills, elegance and charm were able to meet all our desires transforming our daughter’s wedding party into an unforgettable, magical and enchanted moment that will remain engraved in everyone heart forever.
v v v positive review for best wedding planner in the world!
Somehow writing this finalises the whole fabulous week which I never wanted to end! What can I say? Thank you so so much Daniela for organising the MOST perfect wedding, everything was truly wonderful, the venue, the lighting, the food, the flowers, just everything and then you managed to get the marque at the last moment! You truly are amazing!! We have had so many letters saying how spectacular the whole day was with everyone having their favourite moments! Emily and Shahram are still on their honeymoon in Mozambique and will be back on Tuesday so next weekend we will be reminiscing and looking at photographs of our perfect week in Florence! I hope you are well – you are probably busy with your next wedding and have forgotten us!! But don’t! We really would love to,stay in touch and remember, if you are ever in London to get in touch with us! I have, incidentally, rated you! Thank you again Daniela (words just don’t seem enough!) for such a dream week and the most glorious wedding ever!! Stay in touch!
We think is God that send you to us. We felt very secured to have you there to sort everything out for us. Thank you for all you have done for us!
Love on the Tennis Court , The Tuscan Wedding David and I would like to say a big thank you to Daniela from “The Tuscan Wedding” for all the hard work and effort she put into planning our perfect wedding just outside of Florence. We have just returned one week ago and family and friends are still commenting on what a beautiful location and day it was. When we decided to get married in Italy the biggest problem which we were going to face was where could we hold the wedding and also bring in a weeks family holiday for 60 guests. That is where Daniela came into the picture, of all of the event/ wedding planners she was the person which gave us the largest variety of locations, responded quickly during communications and also had a positive attitude and passion for her job. There was no doubting that I could not have organised such a perfect week without the help of Daniela, from communicating with the hotel to organise the multiple apartments needed and organising a welcome BBQ when the guests arrived. She was also responsible for putting me in touch with the florist ( who was fantastic ), organising the musicians, lighting technicians, translators and officials. She managed the set-up and running of the day well and the whole event went smoothy. Finally we wish you luck with your future weddings, yet we are sure they will all be a success as ours was !
Getting married in Florence , The Tuscan Wedding Thank you Daniela for how hard you worked arranging our amazing wedding. The day was spectacular and the level of professionalism of you and your colleagues was out of this world. We Would recommend to anyone………… perfect
Every time I think back about Saturday evening, I want to cry from joy. It was a fabulous evening and an amazing gift! I’m still filled with excitement!” Stefano: During the event, I had this great feeling because I worked with people who love their job. They had a great balance between being professional and friendly. The attention to detail was the main reason the evening was a success. Everything was coordinated to our liking and taste. They are professional, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. They also have the great ability to convey a feeling of control/order to their clients.
I need to say a massive thank you to our wedding Planner Daniela, she has made our lives so much easier during the whole planning of our wedding, over the many emails and Skype calls we have really got to know her and for those of you that haven’t spoken to her this isn’t just a job for her it’s a passion, so again thank you for everything you have done, we really couldn’t have done it without you! Daniela was fantastic in planning our special day, I would definitely recommend her to anybody that I know that wish to get married in Italy.
Perfect Wedding in Florence!, The Tuscan Wedding Our choice to get married in Italy was completely random. I am originally Japanese and my husband British. When we got engaged earlier last year we both knew we wanted to have our wedding in Tokyo, the city where we met and fell in love almost 7 years ago. So when we visited Tokyo one March weekend and found a gorgeous place, we were immediately ready to start negotiating for the price – only that’s when the horrible 3.11 earthquake hit the city as well.
With ongoing uncertainty in the area we eventually decided not to have our wedding in Tokyo and so we went from almost choosing a place to starting from scratch. I searched through the internet and found 5 wedding planners. Through exchange of emails and interviews over Skype with all 5 of them, I knew I found the one perfect planner when I spoke with Daniela from The Tuscan Wedding. Dani had it all. As a non Italian speaking person who knows nothing about wedding planning or the country, I knew I couldn’t afford to have any language barriers that may lead into “lost in translation”. Whilst I found many occasions of ‘lost in translation’ and also found myself repeating my questions and answers to others I had spoken to, I had no issues with Dani. Dani speaks perfect English, lived in the UK for a long time and also travelled around the world. What she also has beyond her language skills is also her ability to see what people want before they know it themselves! So for someone who is indecisive (me) and sometimes gets easily overwhelmed by many choices to make (also me!) she was perfect. From April to May, Dani and I exchanged emails every other day and spoke every weekend. We needed to find a location and we only had 5 months till the wedding day! In May I decided to fly from NYC to Florence to actually look at 5~6 locations we narrowed down to. Before I knew it I was on a plane to Italy (my husband couldn’t come with me due to work), met up with Dani and spent the next 3 days going from one location to another, food tasting, wine tasting, negotiating and trying hair dressers.
Villa Cora was the second venue we visited on my second day in Florence. I knew this was the place the minute we drove into the parking lot. It had been under construction for nearly 4 years and it had just re-opened in early 2011. This place was by far one of the most beautiful villas I had ever seen – luxurious, new, modern yet classic, great attention to detail, excellent level of service and the food and wine they let us taste was to die for. Above all Villa Cora is located up in the hill surrounded by green but at the same time only 10 minute drive from the city center so I knew this would be very convenient for guests who were flying in from all over the world. My best friend who came with me said she saw spark in my eyes the minute I had walked into the villa. I knew it right there and then! After successfully deciding on the venue and going back to NYC with relief, Dani and I continued to speak every other weekend to decide on other details. Looking back at all the discussions we had, I realize what I appreciated the most about Dani was her ability to put me back on the right track. With so many choices to make and so much information to go through, there were times I was making decisions I never would have if I were in a less overwhelming state. Dani helped me rationalize and reminded me of all the things I was originally looking for, and even gave me advises that always started like this “honey, knowing you and knowing what you like, I would suggest…..” And this was coming from a lady who knew me for a few months! But Dani really did know it all. Late September came quickly. Our wedding was a small, cozy yet intimate one with only about 35 people. We had guests with 8 different nationalities flying in from 7 different countries – a truly international wedding! Our wish was one and only – that we get to spend as much quality time as possible with our closest friends and family, and not just the few hours on the wedding day. Dani helped me arrange dinner for both families to get together, coordinated a full day wine tour and a cocktail party the night before the wedding. The actual wedding day was absolutely amazing. No issues, no drama, everyone was on time, everything went as planned and everyone had a great time. We were extremely lucky with the weather too – warm, sunny and dry, much like the mid summer weather as opposed to late September one. Ceremony took place at 4pm in the Villa Cora garden with a string quartet that Dani arranged for playing in the background. My other best friend’s mother sang Ave Maria beautifully, and our niece threw flower petals and origamis on the isle.
After the ceremony the guests were guided to the roof top of the main building and were taken surprise by the 360 panoramic view of the whole of Florence! Food and wine at the reception was perfect. Speeches were made, people danced and lots of alcohol consumed. The event finished around 3 in the morning with bunch of us jumping into the swimming pool! It was one fabulous day. There were a few last minute demands that were made to Dani (e.g. asking for microphone to be arranged in the garden the day before!) but she made them all happen and delivered on time. After the wedding they also put together video clips that she had originally planned to use for their web advertisement and made it especially as a gift for us. It was so nicely and professionally done – with music and poems playing in the background! We are truly grateful of the work Dani and her staff have put together to make this happen. We could not have asked for better wedding planner – so personal, thoughtful and are all about making the day a perfect one for the bride and the groom. If anyone is ever interested in getting married in Florence, we highly recommend The Tuscan Wedding!!

Wedding in a Vineyard, The Tuscan Wedding We fall in love the first time we met; we decided in few months that we wanted to get married as soon as possible. We wanted a dream destination! We considered few locations but at the end we decided to get married in Florence. We rented a villa in the country side and decided to have a holiday with our closest friends and family. I was completely lost at the beginning so many things to worry about and really not sure where to begin. So I started to look for a wedding planner that could look after everything. After few weeks of research I found a wonderful comment about a previous couple that got married with Daniela. I spoke to other wedding planners previously, but on our first call I got the sensation that they understood exactly what I wanted and what I was looking for! I wanted a simple and relaxed wedding; I am doing a very busy and stressful job and did not want to get stressed about organizing a wedding. In the past I have seen friends get very stressed. I arrived at my wedding very exited but relaxed. I only had to choose what I like, and not have to worry about anything. I would like to express my immense gratitude to Events Angels! They not only organized our weddings also took care of all other aspect of the organization, from the booking the accommodation to the activities of our guest and transportation baby sitter dog sitter! I highly recommend The Tuscan Wedding Staff, I don’t think our wedding could be been like this without you! PS I recommend to get married in Italy if you are a wine and food lovers !
