We truly cannot thank Francesca & Efffetti enough for making our dream Italian wedding a reality. From the very beginning, they were organized, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful with every detail. Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but they made the process feel smooth and even enjoyable!

Every element—from the venue selection to the floral arrangements, catering, music, and timeline—was handled with care and precision. Their deep knowledge of local vendors and Italian culture added a special, authentic touch that our guests are still talking about.

On the big day, everything flowed seamlessly. We were able to fully enjoy each moment, knowing that everything was taken care of behind the scenes. Our planner’s calm presence and attention to detail gave us total peace of mind.

If you’re thinking of getting married in Italy, we wholeheartedly recommend this team. Their passion, professionalism, and personal touch made our wedding unforgettable.

Grazie mille! 🇮🇹❤️

My husband and I are from Canada, and we decided to get married in Italy in May 2025. Our preference was to getting married legally in Italy (rather than having a symbolic ceremony) and we knew the civil process was lengthy and tedious.

We reached out to Efffetti Wedding Planners to learn about the process to get legally married in Italy. From the first call, Francesca was extremely informative, helpful, and straightforward in explaining the process. As we worked through the required documentation, she sent reminders and information to ensure we were on track with our documents. It really took the stress out of an otherwise overwhelming logistical process.

The day of our wedding, we met with Alessia, our officiant! She led us through the legal wedding ceremony, organized a meeting with our town hall, and led an absolutely beautiful ceremony. Everything was absolutely perfect and we were so grateful for her support and putting us at ease – especially in working with the town hall to delay our ceremony when we were running late!

After the wedding, we had clear instructions on marriage certificates that would be mailed to us in Canada, and steps we needed to take. The certificates arrived to us on a very timely basis. Months later, I experienced an issue changing my last name, and Francesca/Alessia were kind enough to send me an updated document.

Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend Efffetti Wedding Planners. They were warm, responsive, informative, and really took the stress out of planning a wedding from another country. Thank you so much for your support and services!

We had Francesca as our celebrant for the day as well as our co-ordinator, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without her! She had given us so much support over the 18 months of planning & then on the day she really made us feel like we had nothing to worry about, she sorted everything! Having such a positive, kind and friendly person around made us feel so calm and we truly had the best day of our entire lives, and none of it would have been possible without her and the team. Truly amazing and we cannot thank them enough!

Francina was absolutely exceptional and exceeded all our expectations. We dreamed of having a stunning Italian wedding but had no idea how to bring all the pieces together. Francina’s expertise, extensive network, and impeccable organizational skills turned our vision into reality. What stood out the most was her honesty—she offered candid opinions and advice, which were invaluable to us throughout the planning process.

She was incredibly accessible, always making time for catch-ups, keeping us updated on progress, and meticulously outlining next steps and timelines. Her keen attention to detail helped us stay on track with both our plans and budget, which was a huge relief.

What truly set Francina apart, though, was the personal connection we felt with her. We spoke to several planners before choosing Francina and Effetti, but from the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made the experience all the more special. As a legal translator, she was even able to officiate our ceremony, which added a unique and heartfelt touch to our day.

Francina, we cannot thank you enough for making our dream wedding a reality. For anyone considering working with her—don’t hesitate. Choosing Francina will be one of the best decisions you make for your big day!

We had an amazing wedding at Petroio and Francina was absolutely fantastic. She not only helped us with a lot of logistics for our guests outside the actual wedding day but the wedding itself was magical. Everything was not only flawless but exceeded our expectations. Our family is still talking about the day. The atmosphere was just incredible and we will forever grateful for Francina’s tireless work. Thank you so much!
