Wedding Kim and Martin This lovely symbolic wedding complimented a fulfilling year. When Kim called, I knew that she wanted to do something different for her symbolic wedding in Rome. Her desire: a historic, panoramic palace in the heart of Rome. Of course, we found it! Unique and exclusive this wedding venue stands in the center of Rome; the Aurelian column staring it down. Celebrating your wedding here means soaking up history. The palace, former home to high priests, cardinals, and men
Wedding Marcos and Evelina Marcos contacted us to arrange a symbolic wedding this spring. Marcos with his sweet wife Evelina, lovely daughter and closest family travelled to Rome to celebrate their wedding. They selected a beautiful roof top terrace with view of the Roman Forums. It was a typical spring sunny day. Our Swedish officiator accompanied by our guitarist brought tears in everybody’s eyes. Marcos and Evelina asked our guitarist to play “Con te partiro’” by Andrea Boccelli. It was so romantic…
Wedding Patrik and Mino I love their story: Patrik and Mino, a Swedish couple, went for years to the same elementary school, without noticing each other. It was probably the wrong time. Three years ago Mino saw Patrick from her car. She was waiting for her brother who was late when she saw a handsome man in the distance walking with a small child at his side, perhaps his son…She recognized him from the school days and for a moment was sorry
Andrew and Sarah 25th anniversary When Andrew’s sister-in-law contacted us to arrange a surprise for Andrew and Sarah we were thrilled! We love arranging surprises! Andrew and Sarah are a lovely couple from England who came to Rome to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

Andrew and his sister-in-law selected a small castle a few minutes from downtown Rome. The Castle sits
Wedding Jasmine and Chris Jasmine and Chris’s story is a very romantic one. On a previous Rome visit, Chris proposed to Jasmine on the steps of San Pietro in Montorio church. This church is where they subsequently celebrated their wedding…Following Chris’s proposal, which was accepted, the couple dined at a charming and typical Italian restaurant in lively Trastevere!

Wedding Ronald and Sherry Ronald and Sherry together with their family planned a cruise on the Mediterranean for their 25th anniversary, but little did Sherry know that Ronald was planning a grand surprise ceremony while in Rome. He wanted a venue that “spoke Rome” and we found this exclusive location, which was just perfect for the occasion. A terrace with view of a boutique hotel just steps from the Coliseum. Ronald kept his secret until the last moment. When I brought Sherry a
Wedding Rebecca and Geoffrey Rebecca and Geoffrey an “Ameuropean” couple. She from Northern Europe, British origins living in the US, Jeffrey Canadian. Rebecca and Jeffrey weren’t sure between a civil wedding in Rome or Tivoli. They wanted something typical, romantic representing Rome in it’s rustic typical way: ivy, views and an intimate wedding.

Wedding Natalia and Sergey A sweet young Russian couple had a legal Italian ceremony at Rome’s beautiful Town Hall called Campidoglio. The town hall is a commanding sight right in the center of Rome and steps from the Roman Forums. The Campidoglio has a rich and elegant atmosphere with a formal interior, draped in red velvet. I was not surprised by their choice of this location as it where my husband and I were married. Natalia and Sergey’s ceremony was quite
Wedding Francesca and Sheldon I still remember Francesca and Sheldon’s request: they asked us for a simple wedding in an historic medieval church. Francesca stated in her request “desperate for help!” I was thrilled to be able to help a couple who seemed to be in trouble and “stuck”! Finding the right church and reception venue was exciting. They wanted a place with history but one that was not too grand. They wanted for a peaceful relaxed location not too formal and

I may not be perfect, but if there is one good quality I have it’s that I am quick…when I have a project I follow through immediately! I felt bad for the friends that
