I was worried that planning a wedding abroad in a country where I don’t speak the language would be stressful and complicated. But I cannot believe how stress-free and easy Francesca and Massimiliano made every step of the process. They are AMAZING! We are Americans who married in Italy in a Catholic- legally recognized ceremony -so there was a lot paperwork but the process was made so easy. We had help at every turn. We are so grateful for all that they did for us! I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful the entire trip and event were. Every time we had a question or concern, they were readily available and responded quickly. They are wonderful people and they are extremely organized planners. Every detail was taken care of and executed with finesse. We will truly be forever thankful to have met them and worked with them!

Andrew and I had the most amazing wedding. It’s quite daunting to book a wedding abroad without knowing the area so it was geat to have an expert who could help and advise without us seeing things. it was especailly lovely to have someone who was genuinly interested in the wedding too rather than just selling us extras! We felt completely confident in Francesca to recommend and book our wedding for us. We were extremely pleased with the church – it was beautiful. We had visited about 8 months before our wedding day to check out the accomodation and reception venue however we hadnt visited the church. When i first started to plan the wedding, i was overwhelmed with choice of location etc. I told Efffetti what we wanted and they came back with a selection of places tailored to what we wanted to help make our decision a lot easier. Their expertise in arranging a catholic weddnig was also brilliant. I would certainly recommend them to anyone and we couldnt have done it without them. Thank you so much Francesca and Massimiliano – you were brilliant! xx

Dear Francesca and Massimiliano, we can’t thank you enough for all of your help with our wedding in Lucca, we couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went, it was perfect. You do get a bit nervous when you’re trying to organise the most important day in your life especially when you are not in the same country and are handing the responsibility over to someone else, but we had nothing to worry about. When we met you we felt totally relaxed that everything seemed organised just how we wanted it. You had looked after everything we had requested and also things we had forgotten about. We want to also thank you so much for sorting out our marriage certificates and for sending us the photos you took. The hairdresser you booked was also amazing. If we ever know of anyone who is wanting to get married in Italy we would recommend you to them in an instant. Thank you again for making our day truly amazing it wouldn’t have been the same without your help. Love Justine & Dean xx

We started planning our wedding a year before and just contacted all kinds of wedding planners but Efffetti was the one who called us back and asked what we had in mind, We then actually went to Italy for a week and Francesca and Max drove us around to show us different places for the ceremony as well as different locations for us to celebrate and stay with our guests. Once we had decided what we wanted she and Max had a coffee with us and chatted about ideas and costs etc. We had a very good idea of what we were prepared to spend, especially after having been to wedding fairs in England and being shocked by some of the prices.

we sent Francesca emails through the summer with ideas of table decorations, flowers etc anything we liked. She would then sent emails back with prices for it or other ideas (e.g. when the flowers we wanted were not seasonal and were too expensive etc). The thing we really liked that it wasnt embarassing to say when things were too expensive or not our taste. Francesca would always find an option that suited our budget.

We also started getting all the paper work ready, which Francesca had given us a list of to let us know what exactly it was she needed with our German/ Engllish-Indian backgrounds. Thanks to their organisation our wedding went smoothly and very relaxed and they created a day for us we will never forget.

Flawlessly organised, and genuinely lovely people: Francesca and Max not only made sure that our wedding day ran smoothly and wonderfully, but they were an absolute joy to get to know. It was like old friends arranging your wedding day. We recommend them whole-heartedly and absolutely to anyone who wants to make sure their day is truly special.
