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

James and myself got married on 11/06/18 in Malcesine Castle from start to finish it was perfect in everyway possible. Anna and Matea were amazing and made the day just flow perfectly, that perfectly i want the day to happen again. Sarah who was in England was incredible and very efficient with emails regarding every part of the wedding and gave us lots of information and options. We can not fault this company and recommend to anyone thinking of getting married in Italy. You are all AMAZING!!xxx

From our initial enquiry, we knew we\'d made the right choice in asking Italian Lakes Weddings to arrange our wedding day for us.  Sarah was quick to reply to emails, provided us with a huge amount of ideas, information and suggestions, and ensured the arrangements were exactly as we wanted them to be.  It was great to feel that Sarah wanted our day to be as we wanted it and not simply a pre-packaged wedding, and we really appreciated the time and effort that Sarah gave to us, particularly as we asked a lot of questions!  The service from Italian Lakes Weddings was absolutely first class from the first enquiry through the legal declaration requirements (which thanks to Sarah were really straightforward) to a phone call from Sarah the day before we travelled to Italy to wish us well. We made a trip to Italy 6 weeks before our wedding to visit Malcesine Castle (ceremony venue), Ambient Hotel Primaluna (reception venue) and harbour (Siora Veronica sail boat) and to meet Anna, the local representative of Italian Lakes Weddings.  Anna is an encyclopaedia of Malcesine weddings, and her infectious enthusiasm put us at ease immediately and gave us the confidence that Anna would stop at nothing to ensure our day went perfectly.  We actually made a few changes to our plan after our meeting which certainly improved the day.  We met again with Anna and her daughter (translator for the ceremony) Matea the day prior to the wedding and again walked through the day.  There was a concern over the weather yet Anna ensured us that whatever happened she would ensure our day ran smoothly and that the \'Plan B\' was just as good as \'Plan A\'.  We spent a few hours with Anna and Matea, visiting the registrar and having final meetings with the florist, reception venue and finalising the plans. On our wedding day Anna and Matea were constantly present, making sure everything went as planned.  I don\'t know where they get their energy but from midday to midnight they did exactly that and we were thrilled that the day went perfectly.  We cannot thank them enough for their commitment, enthusiasm and huge amount of effort.  The ceremony was amazing, the weather was kind and the Celtic harpist played beautifully for us as Matea translated.  It was a dream come true for the both of us, we couldn\'t stop smiling!  We\'d also like to highly recommend Giuseppe, who as well as an excellent photographer was a genuinely caring guy and thoroughly entertaining.  He managed our wedding party of 44 people brilliantly and got some great photos.  Also, Antonio and Claudia at Ambient Hotel Primaluna and the team there for providing us with a beautifully dressed reception venue, accommodating all of our requests (and decorations!), the sublime and attentive service, and fantastic quality food which received constant compliments from our guests.  We were overwhelmed by how good the reception was and the little touches made it really special. We\'re indebted to Sarah, Anna, Matea, Giuseppe and Ambient Hotel Primaluna as well as the crew of Siora Veronica for making our wedding day a day we will never forget and a day that was even more perfect than we dared imagine.  Thank-you so very much.
