We looked at numerous wedding planners and finally chose Efffetti to organise our wedding in Volterra. We certainly made the right choice! Having only decided in June that we wanted to get married in Italy in September, we had a very tight time scale, but Francesca dealt with everything in a cool, calm and professional manner. We kept in regular contact with her by email and she clearly explained everything we needed to know at every stage of the process. We met her for the first time in Volterra the day before the wedding and she dealt with all the last minute formalities in an extremely professional way. On the day of the wedding she was there for us every step of the way and helped to make our wedding a truly memorable experience. She organised the flowers, hair dresser, taxis, music, wedding meal, poems etc, and recommended excellent photographers. She was so friendly and reassuring. She stayed with us right up to just before our memorable evening meal at the fantastic Il Mulinaccio just outside Volterra. If you are thinking of getting married in the beautiful country that is Italy, we would have no hesitation in recommending Francesca at Efffetti to plan your wedding. Lesley and Patrick (UK)

I contacted Francesca to help with the administration of our Italian wedding, she was superb and guided me through the paperwork from start to finish.

We are a British couple who live in Italy and Francesca was invaluable helping us throughout the process, telling us what paper work we needed, how to book an appointment at the Embassy, communicating with our Municipality and the one of the location where we wanted to get married. She finalised our dates and made the whole process so simple where it could have easily been a minefield of paperwork.

A delightful lady, I was sad not to meet her but wish to convey we had an amazing day, everything was perfect and thanks to her we had the day of our lives. Thank you Francesca, we couldn’t have done it without you.

I would highly recommend Francesca and Efffetti Wedding Planners. I am writing as Father-of-the-Bride. We live in Washington, DC. The groom’s parents live in Florida. The bride and groom were busy with their careers. Planning a wedding in Italy can be a challenge if you don’t have help. We needed a professional who had the contacts and services to ease our worry. Efffetti provided professional services. My wife and I were very happy with Francesca and Efffetti. Services were outstanding! The church celebration and reception were happy and memorable events. The planning phase and wedding day were not stressful because of Francesca and Efffetti.

Again, I would recommend Efffetti to any young couple planning their special day in Italy. You will find the company to be professional and responsive. Use Effgetti if you want your day to be special.

PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL & PERFECTIONIST !! Francesca worked her magic to grant every wish of the Bride and Groom, plus this savvy Lady offered excellent advice. It may be helpful to know she speaks perfect English.

Thanks to Francesca’s expertise, we remain with the most extraordinary memories. From start to finish, Francesca coordinated the entire event. Francesca is the best and surrounds herself with the most talented team. She located the perfect church, English-speaking Catholic Priest, photographers and videographers, transportation, entertainment,makeup artist and hairdresser. Aside from their talent and professionalism displayed, Francesca and her expert team are truly nice people.

The results achieved were greater than we could ever imagine, and surpassed our greatest expectations. Francesca dedicated her attention to every detail–even asked the groom’s emotional mother if she had a handkerchief ready just before the ceremony began. Guests are still raving about the unique and delicious wedding cake.

Across the miles, communication was easy. From anywhere in the world, you may be reassured of Francesca’s service. You may place your total trust in the fine Lady.

There simply aren’t words to describe wonderful Francesca and the Efffetti team. Francesca managed so beautifully all aspects of our wedding. She kept track of our day to day planning emails, helped us identify a stunning church in San Gimignano (Chiesa di Sant’Agostino), introduced us to a wonderful English-speaking priest, guided us through all the paperwork and administrative issues, worked with the team at our venue (Castello di Gabbiano) and handled every last detail on our special day. She also put us in touch with the most wonderful vendors – the people who took our photographs and video, and did our hair and makeup. Artists, all. They were all great to work with and we couldn’t have been more happy with the way the day turned out. It was truly a blessing to find Francesca and the Efffetti team.

Francesca and her fabulous team were with us every step of the way. The wedding day itself was absolutely seamless, picturesque, and relaxed. We never had to take time out to attend to crises or details. Francesca handled everything with such grace and good humor that we are our families were able to savor each moment of the best day of our lives so far.

We happily give Francesca and her team our very highest recommendation. We are eternally grateful to her for making our dream wedding come true!
