Creating romantic weddings in Italy is our passion and with over 20 years of experience, your Italian wedding is absolutely safe in our hands.

“When choosing a wedding planner to help us elope to Florence, we had a fairly strong idea of what we wanted for our big day. We contacted around a dozen planners with details of what we wanted, and Chocoweddings was the only one to offer us exactly what we asked for – and at an excellent price.

The legal/paperwork side of things was what we were most worried about (we had heard some horror stories about Italian bureaucracy!). Chocoweddings’ guidance in completing the necessary paperwork was so helpful, and having someone to sense-check everything was a massive relief to us. Laura was always just an email away when we had any questions, which was very reassuring! Having someone who speaks the language and knows the procedures was invaluable (especially when the town hall requirements changed just before the wedding!).

Everything else that Laura arranged for us – the car, our witnesses, translation, flowers, etc. was perfect, and everything was exactly where it needed to be, when it needed to be. We just didn’t need to worry about anything at all, which meant we were able to fully enjoy our day.

Our ceremony (in the stunningly beautiful Sala Rossa) was wonderful, and the whole day was everything we imagined it to be, and more – and this is all thanks to Laura and Chocoweddings! We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Thank you so much for giving us such an amazing and memorable experience!”

“Dear Laura, Firstly we would like to say a huge thank you to you and Sabrina for all of your hard work in helping us to create our perfect day in Italy. There is nothing we could have faulted and your expertise made sure that everything went smoothly. We enjoyed our day so much and really cannot thank you enough for the past 18 months of planning!

I will be sad to not have to email you anymore. The medieval buildings and the tiny streets are the perfect setting for a wedding. We were impressed with the town hall, from the pictures of the room we chose it looked quite basic but the pictures did it no justice. Although probably not as impressive as the other rooms it was ideal for us and had a lovely feel to it.

Finally the castle – WOW! Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are so incredibly helpful. Their service is impeccable. We cannot wait to return! It is truly one of our most favourite places in the world! The setting is incredible, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and we are so grateful to you for arranging all of this for us.

Finally, we will probably visit Italy a couple of times a year and we wondered if we would be able to contact you when we do so you can arrange our accommodation as we saw on your website that you are also a tour operator. We are so happy with the service you gave us we would love to keep in contact with you in some way.”

“We are home now and absolutely loved our wedding in Montepulciano! It was absolutely perfect and there is nothing that we would change about the day.

We would be more than happy to act as a reference for couples in the future so feel free to use our email address.

Thank you for everything you and Laura did for us on our day! It was perfect.”

“Laura is not only a top professional in our book, but she has also become a family to us. We are a couple from Tampa, Florida who wanted to have an intimate wedding in a country we always dreamt of going one day.

We knew we needed a local wedding planner when we decided to have our symbolic wedding in Rome. It was not easy finding a wedding planner in another country. We researched (a whole lot) and read great reviews about Laura and a couple more planners. However, Laura was the quickest to respond to our inquiries. In her first couple of emails, she made us feel at ease about the process and journey we were about to embark.

We decided to hire Laura as our wedding planner, and it was one of the best decisions we made about our Rome symbolic wedding. Laura was responsive, professional, respectful, and thoughtful throughout the whole process.

We had envisioned an intimate and casual wedding ceremony and reception, and she listened to us while providing and sharing her knowledge. We appreciated that immensely. We did not want a luxurious and expensive wedding, and Laura helped make that happen by brainstorming and finding ways to achieve what we wanted.

When we finally met her in person during our rehearsal, it was like seeing a family member whom we just did not see for a couple of years. Our wedding day was as smooth and pleasant as it could be. It was everything and more than what we expected and wanted. It was simple, intimate, classy, and fun all at the same time, and we could not thank Laura enough. We are happy to share more thoughts and comments about Laura and her services to anyone who are considering hiring her as a wedding planner.

To you our dearest Laura: Many thanks for making our dream wedding come true. Until we see again in Italy!”
