Many people planning a wedding in Italy will want a big lavish affair. For this there are many planners who will relish the thought of having the opportunity to charge you through the nose for each element. We wanted one thing, a venue and help in achieving getting married there in an alien language. This is where all but Efffetti fell away.

I can’t fault Efffetti on their organising of the day, the weak part was us, not being as organised as we could have been! Despite only paying for the wedding service, we had help in recommendations for accommodation, restaurants, taxis, you name it. Even though we were going to book it ourselves on a very tight budget.

On the day everything went really well and smoothly and the day the dream we hoped for, if not as lavish as our finances permitted.

If you want the dream wedding, big or small, get in touch with Francesca at Efffetti and do it!

Francesca was a wonderful celebrant, her English was excellent and she really succeeded in making our ceremony as relaxed and happy as we had hoped it would be.

Paul and I wanted an intimate and romantic wedding in Italy. We wanted to avoid the fuss and stress of getting married in the city (Sydney) in which we reside. Since I had been married before, and that we were not residents of Italy this required some pre-planning and paperwork. Francesca helped us all the way along. from telling us what we needed to do before leaving Australia, to meeting with the Australian Consulate in Milan, to giving ideas of how to structure our holiday in Italy around the wedding, to meeting with us on the day and doing all the required documentation, to translating the service for us, and even to things we hadn’t bothered with planning such as a bouquet and a very able photographer in the form of her son. We simply could not have done it without Francesca and we’ll be eternally grateful to her for her expertise, professionalism and friendship.

From the moment I spoke to Francesca over the phone, I knew I found the one who would ensure our wedding day would be executed perfectly. Out of anyone that I spoke with, she was the most knowledgable of the laws, and processes, and took the time to make sure I understood my options. I finally relaxed after weeks of searching.

This past April, we eloped from San Diego to Florence, and I can honestly say the day was absolutely amazing. The We were both really jet lagged from the long flight (and busy work weeks before the trip), but Francesca immediately put us at ease, and coordinated the perfect day. She was also the officiant, and her delivery of the ceremony was quite special. 5 Hundred Stars for Francesca!
