Dream to Reality!!

I’ve been putting off writing this review because I wanted it to be as perfect as the wedding day that Roberta and her team put together for us…

My husband and I decided to do a small destination wedding in Tuscany after becoming overwhelmed with the planning and logistics of bringing our friends and families together for a large ceremony in Southern California. We also knew that we were limited with the amount of time we could take away from our 65+ hour work weeks and wanted to make the most of our honeymoon. After several people reached out that they would love the opportunity to support us whilst simultanesously having their own trip in Italy, we did some extensive research and settled on Al fresco Wedding to guide us in our endeavors.

First off, the communication with Roberta via email was INCREDIBLE. She answered any and all questions or concerns we had almost immediately. There were times we found ourselves feeling guilty that we were slow in our own responses!

Also important to mention-we are not planners and were dreading making tedious decisions on decor, music, etc. Roberta made everything SO easy. She sent several options regarding every aspect imaginable based on the Pinterest board of the wedding I had envisioned. Every suggestion was on point and her additional suggestions only enhanced the experience for all.

It’s important to mention that Roberta and her team were incredibly flexible with our ever-changing party size. We ultimately decided to rent out a villa for four days that could accommodate 22 guests. The property she found was right on budget and exceeded our expectations. Additionally, she arranged a winery tour and pizza party for our entire group.

After a 13 hour flight from CA and much delay, Roberta met us at the villa to ensure that we were comfortable and to discuss various location settings for the day of and alternative options in the event of rain. She was constantly checking in to ensure all was well throughout our stay.

The day of the wedding, there was nothing this amazing woman didn’t think of. Not being people for the spotlight, my husband and I were a bit apprehensive about a ceremony that did not have a full rehearsal practice run. We were so wrong to ever have worried and absolutely everything was seamless: the ceremony, the musicians, the cocktail hour before being seated to a multi-course dinner where our guests were able to enjoy watching being prepared by the chef- to the cake cutting and dancing that followed.

It truly was a magical time..all of our guests complimented me on the “magical atmosphere I had created,” but I didn’t hesitate to tell them it was all Roberta and her team. She is as warm as she is professional and my husband and I are eternally grateful and will forever have these wonderful memories!

Beatrice, and her team, there aren’t enough amazing words to say about them, and what they did to make our dream wedding come true.
On a scale of 1 out 10, with 10 being the best, my wife and I give AlFresco Wedding at least 100 (yes, that is one hundred)!!

Since we live in the USA, there could have been several barriers such as language, time change difference, exchange rates, etc., and Beatrice helped us defeat all of our worries. Ever since Nicole and I got married August 22, we had communication with Beatrice for approximately nine months, and she never once disappointed us and always replied in a timely manner, and with detailed responses and suggestions.

Her costs don’t even compare to the value that her team brings to the table, as we almost felt guilty that she may have been undercharging us. We had 45 guests fly over from the USA to be with us on our special day, and every one of them, especially myself numerous times, were in tears of joy and happiness sometime during the week we were in Florence resulting from the beautiful views Bea recommended to us for a venue, the wineries we visited for the day before the wedding to help us relax, the vendors she recommended for photography/videography, floral/decor, music etc., and of course the incredible service provided by Bea and her team.

I do not hesitate at all when saying that everyone should get married in Italy, because it is the world’s destination of Love, however, your Italian wedding will not be complete unless you have Beatrice and her team working for you.

PS, I prefer not to mention what Bea charged us in the questionnaire below as I am assuming that is confidential between her and each of her clients. Whatever quotation she gives you, trust me, it is a deal!!

With Love

Where to start?! Using Bea & her team was undoubtably the best decision we made for our wedding! Bea became more like a trusted friend than anything. She found us our dream venue- one we would never have found by ourselves! We had so much fun spending time with her and she made the whole experience just so enjoyable.

Bea has such amazing taste and her suppliers are true quality – we felt so lucky to have such authentic food and such lovely people involved in our big day.

The biggest thing for me, was how seamless and stress free our whole experience was- Bea & her professional team enabled us to just turn up on the day and have the time of our lives without thinking about a single thing– everything worked like clockwork and we just didn’t stop smiling.

Can we do it all over again? 🙂
Without doubt, I would recommend BeaAlfresco to anyone and everyone who wants a beautiful and stress free day!

We love you Bea!!
Mr & Mrs Healy!

Russ and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for giving us the most amazing wedding and the best day of our lives. The whole day surpassed our expectations. You did the upmost amazing job at co-coordinating all the elements to give us and our families a day we will never ever forget.

Every-time we think back we have the biggest smiles on our faces…from the photo – prop table, to the blankets, cake table and the pathway lined with candles it was all absolutely amazing. Thank you for all your patience and hard work that you have put in over the last 7 months or so.

You are just brilliant at what you do, your endless ideas and your calm approach to every situation is admirable. You instantly “got us” as a couple, respected our budget and found us the best suppliers to fit our needs perfectly. We really couldn’t have done this without you.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you – Jo and Russ xxxxx

Beatrice fully understood we are busy working couple living in two different countries and she was very patient with us.

We were obviously very nervous and wanted to get everything right.

In the end, she took care of all the details, picked the perfect vendors (florist, musicians, DJ, etc.) and we had a perfect, dream wedding in Tuscany!

My big day was absolutely perfect!!!

Beatrice crafted the perfect day for my small Tuscan wedding! We came to her looking for advice for an intimate Tuscan ceremony, and her service and follow through exceeded our expectations. She knew the exact venue that would be the right fit for us and was beyond helpful throughout the entire process.

We couldn’t have had such a magical day without her! She was extremely accommodating from beginning to finish and answered every question I had along the way. Her vendor recommendations were excellent, from music to photography to our celebrant.

Beatrice was wonderful in helping us wrap up all the final details the month before the wedding. I traveled from the US and can honestly say I wasn’t worried about one single detail.

Beatrice is dependable, trustworthy, and extremely kind—anyone would be in great hands planning their wedding with her help.

Please pass on all our thanks to the wonderful Liz, who is just lovely and fun and to you’re whole team. Our chef Ducci, our violin player and the lovely Marco all played such a special role and we will remember fondly.

Beatrice was simply amazing. I have sent her so many emails and she responds so quickly and without complaint, even after a million questions!

I did find giving over the control difficult at times but with a destination wedding I could not have asked for a better person on the ground.

I really trusted her judgement and was delighted with the results. We had such a magical, stress free wedding weekend and it would not have been possible without Bea and her team She went above and beyond for us, we are truly blessed to have had her as our wedding planner.

Thanks for everything xxx

We couldn’t have asked for or dreamt of anything better in our lives!!

We very lucky to find Beatrice at Alfresco Weddings when searching on the internet to help plan our magically day in Italy from South Africa! Beatrice exceeded our expectations with all her help, friendliness, creative ideas, patience, professionalism and attention to detail.

Beatrice took time to understand us as a couple, what our likes and dislikes were and delivered the most amazing wedding event which was true perfection!

Beatrice possesses this amazing quality of calmness that rubs off on to all, creating trust and peace that makes you feel that there is nothing to worry about.

If we could do the wedding all over again we would do it in a heart beat exactly the same way as Beatrice had done it, we would not change one single thing. We cannot thank her enough and will be forever grateful.

We approached Bea to help us plan our wedding in Italy because we found it too difficult to do ourselves all the way from Australia.

Bea was very helpful and accommodating, and she listened to everything we said. We were very sceptical at first because we were not able to see the venues, decorations, cake etc. before the big day, but she assured us that everything would be perfect, and she did not disappoint!

It was without a doubt the best money we had spent and we are so thankful to Bea for making our day so special. I would recommend her services to anyone!

We realised Beatrice was the wedding planner for us within a few moments of meeting, and the fact that she knew our preferred venue intimately also helped greatly. She proved to be the right choice for us. Her calming manner really helped us to avoid becoming overwhelmed with the million and 1 details that popped up for us in the year between “will you…” and “I do…”, holding our hand throughout the very unfamiliar process of getting married anywhere – let alone in Italy.

The whole weekend – already referred to by several of our guests as their “favourite wedding ever…” (some even preferred it to their own!) speaks volumes, and Beatrice and her team were on hand throughout to help things run smoothly on our big day.

Her advice and suggestions on some of the smaller details that we hadn’t considered really shone through. Our entrance went down a storm!

If we had to be critical, the only hiccup we had was a misunderstanding around the necessary paperwork. The lesson we would share here is that you double, triple and quadruple check that you have all the necessary papers well in advance of your wedding!

That small oversight aside, Beatrice was great and we genuinely cannot thank her enough for her help to make a truly unforgettable and magical wedding for us – and we’re very happy to recommend her for anyone considering a Tuscan wedding.
