18 years 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.

5 out of 5. Recommended by 100% of couples
He met with us twice online before the wedding and again in person before our ceremony. His attention to detail, warmth, and genuine interest in our story made the entire experience so personal and meaningful.
Our ceremony was everything we could have hoped for and more. Fabio made it feel intimate, heartfelt, and truly unique to us. It was such a beautiful and memorable part of our special day.
Frank and I cannot recommend Fabio highly enough! If you’re looking for an officiant who truly cares about making your wedding ceremony personal and unforgettable, Fabio is absolutely the one!
Jennifer & Frank
He was warm, professional and made our ceremony so personal and meaningful. He captured our story beautifully and created such a special atmosphere for us and our guests.
We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and would highly recommend him!
Destination weddings are wonderful, but navigating the legal side of getting married in another country can feel daunting. From the very beginning, Fabio made everything feel manageable.
He helped us understand the process, supported us with the paperwork and translations and guided us through everything we needed to do at the town hall.
Having someone beside us who understood both the legal requirements and the importance of what the whole experience meant to us was invaluable.
And then there was the ceremony.
It was magnificent.
Fabio created something that felt completely personal to us. It was warm, emotional, meaningful and had exactly the right balance of sincerity and personality.
It never felt like a standard ceremony that could have belonged to another couple.
It felt like ours.
Standing together at Villa del Balbianello with Lake Como behind us, surrounded by the people we love, listening to Fabio tell our story and ultimately pronounce us married is something neither of us will ever forget.
By that point he had already helped us so much that it felt especially meaningful having him there with us for the moment everything became official.
Fabio is one of those people you meet through wedding planning who unexpectedly becomes a really important part of your memories.
His kindness, patience and reassurance meant an enormous amount to us.
Fabio, thank you for guiding us through the journey and for giving us a ceremony that felt completely and unmistakably ours.
We genuinely couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you, Fabio, for being part of such an important chapter in our love story. Thank you for your warm blessings, and thank you for remarrying us. We would wholeheartedly recommend you to any couple looking for a celebrant in Lake Como.
From the moment the ceremony began, Fabio guided us through every part with such warmth and confidence. We felt completely comfortable in his presence, which allowed us to forget about everything else and simply be present with one another. So many of our guests came up to us afterward to tell us how much they loved the ceremony and how incredible Fabio was, and we couldn’t have agreed more.
What makes Fabio even more special to us is that he no longer feels like simply the person who officiated our wedding. He is someone we both genuinely look up to, appreciate, and are so grateful to now call a friend. Having him stand beside us for one of the most important moments of our lives is something we will always cherish. We truly could not imagine our wedding day without him.
From our very first introduction, Fabio was warm, reassuring and incredibly helpful. As a couple getting legally married in Italy, there were obviously processes, paperwork and language differences to navigate. Fabio supported us through all of it, helped with translations, accompanied and supported us through the town hall process and made the legal side of getting married abroad feel completely manageable.
And then came the ceremony itself.
It was magnificent.
Fabio created a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful and completely true to us. It never felt like something generic that could have been written for any couple. It was heartfelt, emotional and full of warmth, and having him standing there with us at Villa del Balbianello felt incredibly special after everything he had already done to help us reach that moment
When choosing a celebrant, you are trusting someone with one of the most important and emotional parts of your wedding. We could not have placed that trust in a better person.
Fabio, thank you for your patience, your kindness, your guidance and for giving us a ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives\. We are so incredibly grateful that you were part of our day
For anyone travelling to Italy to get married, we could not recommend Fabio more highly. An exceptional celebrant and an exceptional person.
From the very beginning, preparing our ceremony with Fabio was such a thoughtful and personal experience. He took the time to understand our story, how we met, who we are as individuals and what brings us together as a couple. His experience shines through in his sensitivity and his instinct for what feels right for the people in front of him. The result was a beautifully bespoke ceremony that felt completely true to us.
Beyond his professionalism, Fabio has wonderful charisma, warmth and such a positive presence. Throughout the planning, he was always available with kindness, reassurance and solutions whenever a challenge came our way. Having him beside us on such an important day meant so much, and we felt completely comfortable and supported in his hands.
Fabio, thank you for making our ceremony so meaningful and for being such a special part of our wedding. We are so happy that we met you and that you were the one to officiate our marriage. We wish you all the very best and truly hope to stay in touch. Any couple would be lucky to have you as their celebrant.
With love and gratitude,
Jennifer & Joseph
