Top 5 I love celebrating love ❤️ I enjoy communicating and meeting with couples, spending my energy and each possible moment crafting the perfect ceremony. I welcome couples to incorporate their own special requests, beliefs, and customized vows. I create tailor-made ceremonies to celebrate each unique couple. I’m a wedding officiant based in Como Lake, Italy, but open to travel (almost) everywhere. I specialize in western weddings with acknowledgment of different traditions such as Persian weddings and Jewish weddings, and I can conduct ceremonies in English, Italian, and French. I’m open to every kind of customization, involving unity candles, sand mixing, handfasting, and other symbolic acts. I can be present for wedding rehearsals, when possible.

Fabio made our wedding day extra special and everyone loved his kind and thoughtful speech. We wouldn’t think twice to recommend him!!
We were originally planning on asking a friend/family member to be our celebrant on our wedding day, but after hearing about Fabio and his reputation as "the best celebrant on the lake", we decided to meet him over Zoom. Fabio made us feel comfortable from the get go and really took time to get to know us as a couple. We laughed, told stories, got to know him, and it was a no brainer for us to hire him to orchestrate our ceremony. He was very open and excited about different ideas (including incorporating cultural elements), and helped make our ceremony unique and memorable. He was also very accommodating when we had a hard time finding a time to do the ceremony rehearsal with our entire wedding party, and he went out of his way to make it work for us. Thank you Fabio for a wonderful experience and a ceremony of a lifetime!
Planning a destination wedding thousands of miles away is no easy feat. We were grateful to have been introduced to Fabio, who made this important part of the ceremony hassle-free for us! Fabio contacted us well in advance and spent time getting to know us and learning about our stories. The rapport we built in the process made our first ever in-person meeting in Milan, a few days prior to the wedding, felt like meeting with a good friend. Fabio made the process extremely smooth and easy, which we couldn't have appreciated more given the myriad of other things we had to take care of. And of course, the way Fabio officiated the ceremony was impeccable!
Fabio was one of our favorite vendors to work with! From our first video call with him, to our first meeting in person, and then finally our wedding day, each time we spoke to him we could feel how much he truly cares about his couples and loves his job. He took the time to get to know us and remembered so much about us which made us feel so special. His personalized ceremony had every single guest in tears, and people could not stop talking about how amazing he was! He was truly made for this job, with his smiley, radiant personality. He cared about sitting down and spending time getting to know us so that he could make our ceremony intimate, personal, and so, so special. A couple of days before our wedding, we met with Fabio and I was a bit panicked because the forecast had rain on our wedding day. Fabio took the time to show me a local weather app to download, and reassured me that it was not going to rain. He was so patient and calming! (And it didn’t rain on our wedding day!!) We are so grateful for him! He truly was the best and we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding ceremony.
Fabio is simply the best wedding celebrant that you can have for your wedding. He did a zoom call with me & my husband a month before the wedding and tried to know us. When we went to Lake Como where we got married, he came to our hotel & spent time with us. He patiently explained the whole ceremony in details for us. He is very friendly & he is always smiling which will help you not to be stressed while you are standing in front of everyone! I highly recommend him.
Fabio was absolutely amazing as our wedding celebrant. From the moment we met him, we knew that he was the right person to officiate our special day. He was warm, personable, and truly interested in getting to know us as a couple. He took the time to listen to our story, understand our values, and tailor the ceremony to reflect our unique love story.
Throughout the planning process, Fabio was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer suggestions. He was professional, organised, and detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony was just right. On the day of the wedding, Fabio was an absolute rockstar. He delivered a beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, filled with humour, warmth, and love. We were blown away by his ability to capture our love story and convey it to our guests in such a meaningful way. We received countless compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how much they appreciated Fabio's presence. Overall, we cannot recommend Fabio highly enough. He is an exceptional wedding celebrant, and we feel incredibly grateful to have had him be a part of our special day. If you're looking for someone who will truly personalise your ceremony and make it a meaningful and memorable experience, Fabio is your guy. Thank you, Fabio, for everything!
Fabio is super friendly and structured in the process upfront. Everything is being discussed in a professional and friendly matter. All of what is being discussed, happens in real. He is more than just a celebrant - throughout the wedding planning the turned into a trusted advisor and friend. The speech was incredibly beautiful, too. Thank you for your amazing services, Fabio!
Fabio was an absolute gem as our celebrant, and he played an integral role in making our wedding day truly magical. From the moment we met him, it was clear that we were in the hands of a seasoned professional.
One of the standout features of Fabio's service was his soothing voice, which added a calming and elegant touch to our ceremony. He knew precisely when to whisper our vows into our ears, allowing our guests to carry those intimate moments with photos, and then masterfully unplugging, so everyone could be fully present and immersed in the ceremony. Fabio's attention to detail was remarkable. We had several video chats during the planning process, and he took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for the ceremony. A few days before the wedding, we met in person to review the schedule and clarify any details. During these meetings, Fabio provided invaluable advice on structuring and writing our vows, as well as tips on how to navigate the ceremony seamlessly. One of the most memorable touches was when Fabio printed our vows for us and placed them in a wine case. This allowed us to seal them away and plan to open the case and enjoy the wine on our 5th wedding anniversary—a ritual that was both unique and deeply meaningful to us as wine lovers. Many of our guests had never seen such a beautiful and personal gesture, and they found it to be a wonderful reflection of our personalities. Fabio's professionalism, experience, and genuine care for our special day shone through in every aspect of his service. He made our ceremony unforgettable, and we received countless compliments from our guests, many of whom asked about Fabio. We can't recommend him enough—he truly is the best in the business. Thank you, Fabio, for making our wedding day extraordinary.
Our initial celebrant for our elopement (who we booked a year prior our wedding) “disappeared” the month before our wedding, without having prepared a ceremony script or responding to any emails. With our wedding 2 weeks away, our hotel in Lake Como recommended we reach out to Fabio & his team, and they were so responsive and helpful with our last minute request! Chiara became our celebrant, and she was so professional, organized, friendly and easy to talk to. It truly felt like we had a friend with us on our wedding day!! We are so grateful to Chiara for writing a meaningful ceremony for us, and even meeting us the day before to ensure we were comfortable with everything. She is so warm and kind, and definitely made our day feel special. If you are getting married in Italy, we highly recommend Chiara!!! We will remember this day forever and are so grateful she was there with us!
