Dear Sarah and Anna, thank you for making our special day the most amazing day which we could have ever imagined. At first when we were looking into a wedding planner it was a really hard decision as so many are out there nowadays, but with Sarah\'s fast and informative responses I felt at ease from the start and knew that Italian Lakes Weddings was the company I wanted to work with. As I had a big idea of how I wanted the hole day to be I was quite a demanding bride at times and I am sure I confused Sarah more than once, but she was always so helpful and I always enjoyed talking to her as I felt more calm just talking about it. We had no stress at all with all our legal documents and all I had to do was post them off to Sarah once they were ready to go and she did the rest for us but always kept us fully informed about what was going on. The weeks grew closer and closer with no real stress apart from me choosing more and more decorations for the tables. Once we arrived in Lake Garda, the day before the wedding, we met Anna and her daughter Mataya at the lemon grove to run though how the wedding will go and to sign the legal papers, Anna then took me for the trial of hair and make-up in Garda and was so helpful to translate to both stylists just how I wanted to look. I felt so relaxed being with them both and I got to just sit back and enjoy my last day as a single woman. Back in the hotel Anna helped me organise with the hotel staff just how I wanted everything to be like for the reception, nothing was impossible for Anna. I felt like I had made a real friend that day. The big day came very quickly, both Anna and Mataya were waiting for me at the entrance to the venue and I was glad to see them both, it was really lovely to have Anna translate for us as I felt I had got to know her so well the day before. Both her and Mataya were more than happy to help me with anything, even if it was just to hold my veil. We both can\'t thank Sarah, Anna and Mataya enough for all of there help to make our day the most special. I really felt like a princess for the day and it was lovely to have both Anna and Mataya with us until the end as I felt they deserved also to enjoy from all the hard work they had put in. I would most definately recommend Italian Lakes Weddings to any new bride to be I hear of and I am so happy we choose them. Thank you so much.\"

Dear Sarah Very many thanks for organising our wedding in Garda on the 27th last. We had a wonderful day the weather was good, the Town Hall was a delightful venue and everything went extremely well. It was so good to meet Anna she was charming and helpful in every way and put us at our ease immediately, as did everyone involved. We now look forward to seeing our phptographs, if there is a good one which you would like to use on your website please do so. Please convey our thanks and good wishes to Anna also to Guiseppe the photographer who was so friendly and helpful Best wishes Jenny and Donald Hughes

Hi Sarah and Anna We would just like to say a huge thank you for arranging the best day ever. Everything was perfect from the hairdresser, car and flowers to the ceremony, boat and reception. The ceremony was amazing and superseded all our expectations. Anna coordinated and translated it beautifully and the string quartet set it off perfectly. The aperitifs at the castle were fantastic and the setting was stunning. The sailboat was unbelievable. I can\'t put it into words how amazing it was. Al Corsaro was set up beautifully, the food was delicious and the service was faultless. We had a great time dancing to the end of the night (and into the early hours at Bar Castello!). We will smile about this day forever!!! We are looking forward to seeing the photos and video and we will send you on the link to the photos when we get them. I know we still have to get 4 song choices to you for the video so will get these to you ASAP. Sarah and Anna, thanks again for organising everything perfectly and for all the help and support throughout the planning. Also to Anna and Mattea (sorry if I got the spelling wrong) for everything they did for us at the welcome meet and on the big day. It was amazing!!! Lots of love Jane & Mark xxx

Hi Sarah and Anna, Hope you are both ok! We returned home from our honeymoon yesterday and officially have the holiday blues! It was absolutely fantastic and we can\'t wait to get back to Italy. Venice was our favourite place that we visited but we both agreed that nowhere beats Riva! Jonny and I wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you for planning such a fantastic wedding for us! We couldn\'t have dreamt of a more perfect day. Everything from the buttonholes to the car was absolutely wonderful. I only wish I could do the same thing again in some stretchy pants so I could squeeze in all of that amazing food! :-) You are both stars. Thanks again, Carly and Jonathan > >

Hi Anna and Sarah, Well it’s been nearly a whole year since you made our dreams come true in Torri Del Benaco last August and it is ridiculous that I have only just got round to writing to you to say how wonderful you were! Better late than never! I wanted to leave a testimonial on your website, but I couldn’t figure out how. Perhaps you could copy parts of this email onto the site if you would like to use any of it, you have my permission to do so if that’s needed. I could not have imagined such a perfect wedding for Mike and I in every way. Our friends and family that were there and those who saw the photographs often bring it up and many describe it as the most romantic, classy and elegant wedding they have ever been to. All of the locations were incredibly beautiful and the staff were fantastic at all of them. I must mention in particular the staff at Casa Degli Spiriti. I was looking for a reception venue that would feel more than a restaurant, something more like an English wedding reception venue, but in Casa Degli Spiriti we found so much more than that! The views were absolutely spectacular and the staff were so professional, helpful and efficient. We were made to feel like royalty and they were 100% on top of every tiny detail throughout the evening. Not to mention the incredible Michelin star food and unbelievable value for money! Of course it is to yourselves that the hugest personal thank you must be given. Many people have said to me ‘Oh wow, you got married abroad, that must have been so stressful and hard to get everything sorted out. I tell them they couldn’t be more wrong. You made planning our wedding so easy! From DJ and flowers to venues and leagal bits you took care of everything. We were able to personalize things and do as much or as little as we wanted and you took care of the rest. You were always super fast to reply to emails and calls and Anna was fantastic throughout our stay in Italy. I really can’t say enough. I don’t think there was any tiny detail that didn’t run smoothly and you made our day better than I could possibly have ever dreamed. Thank you. Mike and I have exchanged contracts on our new home in the countryside today (a place called Sarratt) and hope to strat a family in the New Year. Thank you for getting our married life off to a perfect start. We hope you are both well and very happy. Thank you again (and sorry it took so long!). Sarah and Mike (Mr and Mrs Cunningham)
