The reviews are all true for the Efffetti Wedding Planning Team. I cannot say enough about how easy the team made this process for us, and how great it was to work with this company.

Francesca did a fantastic job for us throughout the wedding planning process. As two Canadians hoping to elope in Siena, Francesca did an excellent job communicating deadlines to us, meeting deadlines, and checked in with us throughout the process to see if we required any help with the application process.

Once in Siena, Francesca was prompt, on time, and was able to translate everything to us when we needed to meet with the Siena City Hall staff. I was impressed that a majority of the staff all knew her and were extremely friendly towards her. She was extremely professional throughout the entire process, and a joy to talk to. Francesca went out of her way, to even speak with our photographers from out of town on where the best places were in Siena to take photographs.

Every deadline was met, and we had such a wonderful experience with Efffetti Wedding Planning Team and they allowed us to truly enjoy our wedding day to its fullest. I would most definitely recommend their services if you were planning on eloping in Italy, Siena – without a doubt.

A huge thank you to Francesca for making our elopement dreams come true! We were initially hesitant when deciding if we wanted a civil or symbolic wedding in Italy, because we heard about all this scary and lengthy paperwork. We scheduled a call with Francesca just to learn more about the process, and to see if a civil wedding in Italy would even be feasible during our 2 week Italy trip. We had no idea where to start, but Francesca was very informative and walked us through the necessary paperwork to be done in Canada, timeline, and made helpful suggestions for cities and towns that met our criteria. She also sent us photos and pricing of the venues we were interested in. We were fairly certain we wanted to proceed with the civil wedding in Italy after speaking with Francesca, as she answered all of our questions and dispelled a lot of uncertainties. Honestly, the paperwork wasn’t so scary either. Just make sure you allow enough time to get all your documents in order (Francesca even sent us a reminder email!), and it will be no problem.

We felt Efffetti was extremely professional and not pushy at all. We had spoken to other companies, ranging from people hounding us every few days for a response, to people flat out rejecting us as clients because all we wanted was a simple town hall ceremony with no other guests present. We also thought the pricing was quite reasonable (we had gotten several quotes from other vendors). In our package, translator/witnesses was included, as well as all the document legalization for the marriage certificates. It was such a relief to know that all these things were already included in our package, without any hidden or additional fees!

Francesca always responded to us in a timely manner, even during the busy wedding season. On the day of the wedding, I was so nervous about the pre-wedding meeting and having all our paperwork in order, but it was such a smooth and easy process. Even the town hall staff spoke highly of Francesca and knew she was always prepared!

If you’re thinking about eloping in Tuscany, we highly recommend Efffetti. Our wedding was everything we hoped for, and MORE! (I mean, who can say they ate at a Michelin star dinner on their wedding night?!) I am also really glad we ended up doing a civil wedding instead of only a symbolic wedding. It was so fun to be “officially” married to my best friend on our trip. Thank you Francesca for everything!!

Francesca and the Efffetti team were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish – Francesca’s incredible knowledge of the legal and religious processes to facilitate a wedding in Tuscany, along with her extensive contacts and impeccable attention to detail, meant that our wedding celebrations went seamlessly. Francesca was incredibly responsive, diligent and for non-Italian speakers, went to great lengths to ensure everything was clear. We can’t recommend Francesca highly enough – we simply couldn’t have done it without her and will be forever grateful for our dream Tuscan wedding. Liam and Sorcha, London UK,

My daughter got married on Saturday, 22.07.2023 in Rome, and living in Zurich, we relied on Francesca who followed all the bureaucratic formalities and contacts with the various vendors and was always willing to clear up any doubts in very few minutes. On the wedding day she was our guardian angel and followed everything step by step.

Francesca is everything I like in a woman, she is empathetic but firm in advising you if you are going astray, she is decisive and confident with class, she is ready to solve unexpected problems without losing heart. All the advice she gave my daughter turned out to be sound, and all the vendors she recommended were outstanding! I recommend her from the bottom of my heart to those who would like to plan a destination wedding and those who simply want to get to their wedding day without having any worries.

Franci we love you.

The run up to the wedding, Azzurra was responsive, friendly and helpful. We were fortunate to meet in person and decided to go with Azzurra as our wedding celebrant. Azzurra provided structure and ideas for both the ceremony and the vows which were very helpful. The day was stress-free and fuss free which is what every bride and groom need.

She held our ceremony in English with nice interwoven Italian throughout.

Overall the ceremony was the right length and personalised to us, which worked well.

We have marked down ‘professionalism’ due to a situation post the event which has been slightly more of a negative experience.

Azzurra felt the need to write a negative google review of our venue regarding her personal experience, which we felt was inappropriate given the nature of her role on the day.

Without going into details we didn’t feel like it was a professional way to deal with this situation after the event, given how accommodating we were trying to be.
