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!

Francesca was simply amazing when planning our Tuscany elopement. Living in Australia, we had no idea what needed to be arranged – we contacted a number of planners online to guage price, service etc and Francesca immediately stood out from the rest. Her prompt replies to every email along with her excellent English and attention to detail made getting married so easy! We took all her recommendations on board (paperwork, venue, photographer, accom, restaurant etc) and truly had the perfect day. We met a number of Francesca’s colleagues when we were in Italy and all were such professionals; I really am so grateful we found you! My husband commented after the event that even though it was initally just the two of us, it felt like we also had a friend attending in Francesca. I can’t recommend Efffetti highly enough. Thank you xo

Francesca was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was extremely informative from our initial enquiry which immediately put us at ease. She met with us several times and no task was too much trouble for her. Her English language and translation skills were excellent – given we could understand and speak only very basic Italian; this was incredibly helpful. Our families and guests instantly warmed to Francesca too and on our big day itself she continually reassured us both. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francesca and her services, our wedding celebration couldn’t have been the unforgettable weekend it was without her!
