Super recommended - Cristiana and Alessia from More than weddings are amazing!!
They have supported us for more than 1 year in organizing our wedding in Tuscany in September 2024. It couldn't have been any better than this - everything was perfect and beyond any possible expectations! And this is all thanks to the whole organization put in place by Cristiana and Alessia.
Despite living abroad and being far from our wedding location, More than weddings made the organization really smooth, helping us deal with all the vendors and making sure every detail was properly addressed ahead of time. Cristiana and Alessia are really kind and patient - they have been able to address all our questions and last minute changes with confidence and calm. We didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day - everything was just perfect!
We are so glad we met Cristiana in 2021 at the wedding of a friend. That day was so perfect that convinced us to choose More than weddings for our wedding as well - and we couldn't have made a better choice.
Thanks again for all you did for us!

Last week I celebrated my marriage to my husband in beautiful Italy. When we booked our destination wedding, we were connected with Marta and Cristina to help us take care of all of our details for the special day. They were amazing every step of the way. Communication, professionalism, and their passion for making this wedding come to life put us at ease and helped to make our day and trip as stress free as possible. If we ever find ourselves planning an event nearby again, it is a given we will be using them. I have only the most positive things to say about More Than Weddings and their expertise!
BEST DECISION WE MADE was hiring Marta and team at More Than Weddings to help us plan and coordinate our wedding in Italy! Though our wedding was small (only 10 of us), both my husband and I don’t speak Italian (or at least not enough to converse well) so hiring planners in Italy took a huge stressor off of me. I’m a very type-A planner for our travels and in life but having planners like MTW eased my mind at every turn, helping explain how things work for weddings in Italy, finding amazing vendors, and coordinating everything on the day so I could relax and take in the day.
I found them originally through Instagram when searching for weddings in the Venice / Verona areas. They are based in Veneto region but they travel and coordinate weddings all over Italy. Booking them for our wedding was one of if not the best decision we made for our wedding. They went above and beyond and helped to coordinate pre and post wedding events, helping us translate to Italian vendors like boat tour companies and wineries to book tours for our entire family. They sent design proposals and did research based on what we wanted and our aesthetics, listening to us and looking for vendors that could execute our vision within our budget. They understood that US trends were slightly different than Italian and other European wedding trends and helped to make our vision come to life - like adding the figurine of our sweet puppy to our cake and getting the caterer to create the "icing on nose" vision like she got into the cake :)
The initial communication was more sporadic which made me nervous as a US bride who is used to getting emails back almost too quick sometimes! But the process helped to teach me to relax into the Italian lifestyle and at no time were they not on top of our planning process. We communicated primarily with Marta through our planning process and she was amazing!
We went to Italy in September before our wedding in May to see venues and try out some of the activities we were going to do with our families so Marta and Francesca (one of their other employees) organized two full days for us and made our trip even more memorable! Marta and her partner Cristiana both came to our wedding on Lake Garda, so it was great to finally meet the other half of the team. They make a great pair of creativity and organization and made it so we were able to fully experience the best day of our lives!

Hands down, the best decision we made in the wedding planning process was working with More Than Weddings. If you’re thinking about getting married in Italy, hire them as your planners! You’ll be in the best hands.
We found them by looking at wedding blogs and coordinators for the Veneto region, although they work all over Italy. Marta was our main point of contact but we were lucky enough to also connect with Cristiana, Alessia and Francesca who were all so kind, patient, attentive, calm, reassuring, perceptive and thoughtful. They had fantastic creative ideas but also were respectful and listened to ours—the planning process was a wonderful collaboration. They sent design proposals, tweaked plans based on our feedback and vision, and I trusted them completely.
They helped to coordinate two pre-wedding events, including my hen do in Verona/Lake Garda and a welcome party at a winery in the hills of Valpolicella the day before the wedding. They absolutely went above and beyond: coordinating transport to multiple hotels, organising wine tours for our friends & family, and making sure everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves the entire long weekend. Planning a wedding abroad from the UK, and being a type A bride, they completely put me at ease and meant my fiancé and I could enjoy the process!
Their knowledge of the area and relationships with exceptional local vendors was unparalleled. From florists to musicians to makeup artists and even finding a professional babysitter to look after young kids at our wedding, every single supplier was top notch. We got lots of compliments from guests about the wedding, which is testament to their attention to detail and organisational skills.
It was the best weekend of our lives. Thank you so much Marta & Cristiana for making this dream wedding come true.

We recently got married in Tuscany (from the US, NJ) and had More than Weddings, Cristiana and Marta, as our planners. We had a 2 year long engagement/planning process, and they were there every step of the way. They were very conscious of our budget and opinions, never pushed us on anything, and truly took all the planning stress from us. They were extremely reliable and trustworthy from the day we met through the wedding night (and after!!) and I would recommend them to anyone!
We are a couple from Canada who, with the help of Marta and Cristiana, were able to organize our dream Italian wedding with only 6 months of lead time. You’re reading the perspective of me, the husband, and my wife has also left a review here; we felt compelled to both share our unique perspectives on how fantastic it was to work with the team. Our wedding was so successful, that random people would come up to us in the town and say “oh - you’re the Canadians who had the wedding at Duca Di Dolle - we heard from the hotel that it was fantastic”. We were quite literally the “talk of the town”!
A quick bit about why you should trust us: unfortunately, before hiring MoreThanWeddings, we had the mishap of hiring a terrible Italian wedding planner. We won’t mention her name in this review, but through that process we learned that the two most important things you need from a destination planner are: 1) strong project management skills, and 2) trustworthiness. Luckily for us, Marta and Cristiana exude both of these traits to the highest degree!
Back to the amazing team at MoreThanWeddings: these two ladies exhibit all the characteristics of top-tier project managers; you could drop them in to a PMP role at any consulting firm, and they’d come out on top. They are wonderfully creative, and great to collaborate with, but never once did I feel like the wedding design was becoming more of “their” ideas than “ours”. They’re supportive, and helped us be decisive (something we as a couple struggle with) without ever being stubborn or losing their patience with us. They were super accommodating of our East Coast time zone, and helped schedule calls around our schedule. Every call felt like we were being actively listened to, and that the project was being moved forward accordingly; it never felt like we had to repeat ourselves with them. Little “sparks” of ideas seen on instagram, like: “oh, we’d love a late-night gelato cart” would be met with prompt follow-ups with several proposals ranging across budgets. They never seemed to mind that our imagination was running wild with these little “sparks” from things we saw on instagram/pintrest, in fact quite the opposite: they clearly love planning weddings and love to see all the amazing inspiration. They had seemingly boundless patience for us.
If you’ve gotten this far, I think it’s clear: we think the world of Marta and Cristiana. I would trust them to plan any event, and would recommend them to our closest friends and family. I’ll leave you with one last point: there are so many examples I could list of Marta and Christiana “sweating the small details”, but the one that left the biggest impression on both of us was that they had custom dresses made for our wedding to match our floral arrangement. I mean, c’mon. These two really care a lot, and clearly love what they do!
The wedding is done now, and it was a tremendous success thanks to these two. Despite being a little sad that the wedding is done, I’d say we’re equally sad that we won’t be having our weekly calls with them.
Marta, Christiana - thank you, from the bottoms of mine and Marina’s heart. We will cherish our wedding day for the rest of our lives!

I would highly recommend Marta and Cristiana fr om More Than Weddings! They were amazing! We had a bad experience with our previous wedding planners, and Marta and Cristiana came in a few months before the wedding and set everything straight! They are very efficient and accommodating and amazing service. They are so nice to work with and have great taste. Would highly recommend them! Our wedding was at Castello di San Salvatore, wh ere they’ve done a lot of weddings, so they knew exactly what to do!
Thank you Marta and Cristiana!

Martha and her team are the BEST in town. I explore and experience another company prior to them and I was so frustrated until I found them!!!! Do not be afraid to hire them; you will have the best wedding EVER. Also, they speak very good English and do not overcharge you because you are a foreigner. We gave them our budget and then we adjusted it according to our needs. They also manage the BEST vendors. OMG, the catering people were the best. Having a wedding is very stressful adding the language barrier and the distance increases your stress 10 times. More Than Weddings will be your BEST investment. I wish I could have found them earlier. Also, TIP DO NOT BOOK YOUR VENUE... Until you hired them. :)
Ci hanno aiutato ad organizzare il matrimonio dei nostri sogni! Sono state stupende e gentili. Consigliatissime!
