"I was worried that planning a wedding abroad in a country where I don't speak the language would be stressful and complicated. But I cannot believe how stress-free and easy Francesca and Massimiliano made every step of the process. They are AMAZING! We are Americans who married in Italy in a Catholic- legally recognized ceremony -so there was a lot paperwork but the process was made so easy. We had help at every turn. We are so grateful for all that they did for us! I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the entire trip and event were. Every time we had a question or concern, they were readily available and responded quickly. They are wonderful people and they are extremely organized planners. Every detail was taken care of and executed with finesse. We will truly be forever thankful to have met them and worked with them!

"Andrew and I had the most amazing wedding. It's quite daunting to book a wedding abroad without knowing the area so it was geat to have an expert who could help and advise without us seeing things. it was especailly lovely to have someone who was genuinly interested in the wedding too rather than just selling us extras! We felt completely confident in Francesca to recommend and book our wedding for us. We were extremely pleased with the church - it was beautiful. We had visited about 8 months before our wedding day to check out the accomodation and reception venue however we hadnt visited the church. When i first started to plan the wedding, i was overwhelmed with choice of location etc. I told Efffetti what we wanted and they came back with a selection of places tailored to what we wanted to help make our decision a lot easier. Their expertise in arranging a catholic weddnig was also brilliant. I would certainly recommend them to anyone and we couldnt have done it without them. Thank you so much Francesca and Massimiliano - you were brilliant! xx&

"Dear Francesca and Massimiliano, we can't thank you enough for all of your help with our wedding in Lucca, we couldn't believe how smoothly everything went, it was perfect. You do get a bit nervous when you're trying to organise the most important day in your life especially when you are not in the same country and are handing the responsibility over to someone else, but we had nothing to worry about. When we met you we felt totally relaxed that everything seemed organised just how we wanted it. You had looked after everything we had requested and also things we had forgotten about. We want to also thank you so much for sorting out our marriage certificates and for sending us the photos you took. The hairdresser you booked was also amazing. If we ever know of anyone who is wanting to get married in Italy we would recommend you to them in an instant. Thank you again for making our day truly amazing it wouldn't have been the same without your help.
Love Justine & Dean xx

"Finally found some time to sit down and write to you and Massimiliano to say Thank You! for all the wonderful work you have done! Mo and I had literally the best day of our lives and enjoyed every bit of our wedding weekend. It went waaaaay tooo quickly and to be honest if we could we would do it again, exactly the same, in a heart beat. For the last year we have been able to create this wonderful, romantic event which we could have never done without your help. You both have been there for us for over a year, sorting every little last question and request for us and you have been a vital part in our journey to become a family (even though it is just the two of us at the moment ;-) ) and our kids and grandkids will hear all about you and Massimiliano and how you helped us to great start of married life. If you could, could you maybe also send our deepest thanks to the commune di Palaia, especially the mayor, for letting us use their wonderful town hall and giving us the most beautiful surroundings and a wonderful ceremony.
All our friends and family were absolutely delighted and had a wonderful time. My mom said i should say a special thanks from her for making it the most beautiful wedding she has been to.
Thanks again for all your help!

"Francesca and Massimiliano are wonderful to partner with to plan and organize the details of your wedding. I was very apprehensive selecting a wedding planner via the internet but after careful consideration and reference checking, I felt comfortable most with Francesca. Honestly, Effetti won our business since they were so responsive and sincerely appeared to be committed to knowing us as a couple and wanting to give us exactly what we asked for and made sure they researched options to give us good options and cost estimates.After meeting them both, we feel like we make life long friends. Thank you both Francesca and Massimiliano!
Thank you so much for your help and making our day so very special.

"We got married earlier this year in a wonderful small town in Tuscany. A last minute change of plans meant we didn't have much time to get it organised. We didn't know if it was going to be possible at such short notice but I found the best wedding planner ever, that made the whole wedding and planning so simple and so special. Efffetti were very quick to respond to my request and I could not recommend them highly enough. Even though our wedding was a small affair they never once made us feel as if it were less important to them. If anything we felt more looked after. Every detail had been thought through and we were so well looked after when we arrived in Italy, from being taken to the hairdresser to finding a tailor for a last minute suit adjustment on the actual wedding day! It was such a perfect day for us, and it was all thanks to Efffetti and their kindness and professionalism." Lynn and Douglas + the little Madison - The UK - married in Tuscany, May 2010
"It was with considerable trepidation that my daughter's wedding was arranged from Canada for its ceremony in Italy...We need not have feared. Francesca and Max's foresight, organisation and warmth made the day not only memorable but truly sublime"

I spent lots of time researching online and through email potential wedding planning services. I was going at hiring a planner “blind” as that I had no contacts to rely on for recommendations. I was at a point of frustration with other companies not responding to requests, or if I did get a reply, not considering my budget.
However, when I found Francesca, I felt immediately at ease. She was nothing but warm, friendly, understanding of my vision and budget. Most importantly, she was accessible. This was so important given I am in Canada, speak no Italian, and had time change considerations. Nor have I been to the country! I needn't have feared, for Francesca was so flexible with skype emails, not to mention prompt responses to my emails, and to update me on progress before I would even have a chance to ask!
My wedding experience was amazing, more then I could have dreamed of. She did wonders with flowers, transportation, translating, coordinating- everything! Everyone who attended continues to rave about both Francesca and Max, and I feel the same way!
Should anyone require more detailed information about the ceremony or services I used, please contact contact me via Efffetti!
