I recently married the love of my life in beautiful Malcesine, when we started to look for venues everything seemed much for muchness, my husband to be then decided he wanted to get married in Italy. I started to research and came across Italian Lakes Weddings, I contacted Sarah & made the decision there and then that she would be our perfect wedding planner, she came up with numerous ideas that sounded perfect, we wanted something different & for all of our family & friends to experience it all with us from start to finish & they sure did. Forty of us arrived in Malcesine after much anticipation as we had not been before in fact we had not even seen our venues, Sarah had talked us through everything from venues to food & flowers & then I incorporated other touches. We then met Anna & Matea who planned everything in Malcesine they walked us through what would be our fairy tale, we met the florist, the registrar attended the town hall, walked the steps of the castle, boarded the sail boat, met the owner of Al Corsaro who catered our wedding breakfast & party, we even had lunch & met the owners of the bar that catered our drinks & food at the castle from then I knew we had made the right choice however even I did not imagine how wonderful our actual day would be. Anna & Matea produced the most special day a true fairytale, from the boys arriving down the mountain in Tuk Tuks (my son & nephews favourite part) to myself & my dads arrival we felt like real celebrities. The ceremony was beautiful & the way Matea interpreted from Italian to English made the experience even more special! I have to say Matea was wonderful throughout the day from the little wink of reassurance when I arrived to fixing my dress when I ripped it she really is a credit to this business. The registrar had everyone in tears with his lovely words about our whole party, the photographer Giuseppe was a dream no boring pictures of us all stood in lines like usual wedding photos, all the guests commented on how fun he was & the videographer was there the whole day not that we knew it, I cannot wait to see the video. I could go on & on the timings were perfect apart from the bridesmaids getting in trouble off Anna for being 15 minutes late haha. If you have found your prince & you want your fairytale there is no doubt these are the girls to produce it. Thank you once again to you all you really did us proud & made dreams a reality there is no doubt we will be back to visit breath taking Malcesine very soon. Sending All Our Love from Mr & Mrs Christopher & our whole wedding party. X

Where do we even start!!! You have been absolutely faultless from beginning to end, all the advice help and guidance from Sarah was absolutely amazing. nothing was ever too much trouble and she always replied super quick which was brilliant to keep a bride as less stressed a possible. We knew exactly what was going on every step of the way and she helped me with so many questions to make things run smoothly. We had a lot of babies/kids at our wedding and it made things a little tricky but this was all sorted and we were put at complete ease. When we arrived in Italy we met with Anna and her daughter who took us to the Castle, the florist, the boat, restaurant etc so we knew exactly what was going to happen on the day and gave us a chance to make sure we were happy with everything - which we were more than happy with. When the big day came everything was absolutely seamless, it all flowed perfectly. Exactly as we had asked nothing was out of place nothing didn’t go to plan it was exceptional. Every single guest who came couldn’t praise you all enough for the amazing job you did for us, and how calm me and Alex were on the run up and on the day. An that’s because you allowed us to have the wedding we wanted without and stress or worry. Thank you all so so much from my initial meeting with Sarah and meeting Anna and speaking with Sarah once we were home We can honestly say We would recommend you to anyone. Thank you again Gina and Alex xxx  

Thank you to Italian Lakes Weddings for helping to make our special day so beautiful and perfect. Sarah, thank you for guiding us through the formal processes and making it all so simple and straightforward for us to complete everything needed prior to the wedding.  You kept us organised and on track. Grazie mille to Anna, we can\'t thank you enough for being there for us every step of the way within the beautiful location of Bardolino.  From when we met up last year to discuss venues, to being with us on our wedding day and then joining us again a few days later when we took our guests on a sailboat.  We really appreciate you looking after us and our family and friends.  Thank you to Matea for interpreting the Italian service so beautifully and supporting Anna and ourselves on the day. The violinist was one of the best decisions we made to make our ceremony so memorable.  She played so beautifully it brought a tear to our eyes. Giuseppe and Fabia were amazing on the day both professional and made having your picture taken such good fun.  Thank you for our surprise photos presented to us on the day. Massimo and his staff at La Loggia in Bardolino prepared such a fantastic lunch, aperitif and dinner.  Everyone commented on the quality of the food, service and set up of the rooms.       The music in the evening was brilliant we don\'t remember a minute when there wasn\'t anyone up dancing. We would like to finish by saying that Bardolino is the perfect romantic setting to be married and the room for the ceremony with the balcony view facing out onto the lake is quite breathtaking.  We would also highly recommend La Loggia as a gorgeous venue to make your day extra special. Love and best wishes Nick and Amanda Mason  xxxxx

Dear Sarah, Anna and Matea,   David and I cannot believe that it has been over a month since our beautiful wedding that you organized. We would like to whole-heartedly thank you for your hard work in making our day so very perfect. Choosing you as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made!   Sarah, thank you so much for your help and patience with me. Communication with you could not be easier. You were quick and efficient. You were attentive to details and to our needs. Planning a wedding abroad was extra nerve-wracking but your kindness and professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the entire yearlong process!   We arrived in Malcesine 3 days before our wedding. We were blown away by how beautiful this place was. We love it so much we are planning to retire here! ? Anna, you were amazing! The wedding run-through was perfect. You made us feel at ease with how thorough you were.  You were so patient and kind, tending to my every needs that day when I was sick. Thank you again.   Our ceremony on the castle terrace was breathtakingly beautiful and emotional. Matea, thank you for being such a fantastic officiant! Our reception was so wonderful and delicious with the help of the amazing staff at PrimaLuna. Anna and Matea stayed with us the whole time to ensure everything ran smoothly. It did, and exceeded our expectation.   We highly recommend Italian Lakes Weddings and this fantastic team! We will spread the words in America to our friends who are looking to have the perfect wedding in Italy! Love, Vian and David
