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.

45 Reviews for Fabio - the celebrant
From the moment we started working with him, it was clear that this was not just a service — it was something deeply personal. Fabio took the time to truly get to know us as a couple — our story, our dynamic, our love — in a way that felt so genuine and intentional. By the time our wedding day arrived, he didn’t feel like a vendor at all… he felt like family.
The ceremony he led was everything we could have ever hoped for and more — heartfelt, emotional, intimate, and beautifully reflective of who we are. There wasn’t a dry eye, and so many of our guests commented on how incredibly personal and touching it was.
Fabio himself is just the most charming, kind, and warm soul. He has this natural ability to make everyone feel comfortable and connected, and his presence added such a special energy to our day. We truly adore him.
Having Fabio as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made. He created a ceremony that we will cherish forever, and we feel so lucky to have had him be such an important part of our story. Fabio, we love you so much!
On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely fantastic. His delivery was thoughtful, engaging, and perfectly balanced between heartfelt and joyful. He created such a beautiful atmosphere that made the ceremony one of the most memorable parts of the entire day for us and our guests.
If you’re getting married in Lake Como, we cannot recommend Fabio highly enough. He is truly talented at what he does and brings such kindness, professionalism, and care to every moment. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day and helped make it so unforgettable.
Fabio's attention to detail is second to none. Whether it's his attire and demeanour, or the way he articulates his words, Fabio turns your Italian wedding into a real life fairytale.
Being from the UK, Fabio helped plan the ceremony via Video Call, giving us many options and tailoring it to create our own, extremely personal wedding. This was supported by our own wedding page shared by Fabio.
Fabio came to meet us the day before the wedding to give us the reassurance we needed before we walked down the aisle.
Not only us, but every one of our guests commented on how great our wedding celebrant was.
If you are wanting to enhance your wedding day and are looking for someone with the X-factor, then we would highly recommend using the services of Fabio.
With much love and many thanks,
Mr and Mrs Lomas
The planning process was seamless. Fabio worked closely with our planner to craft a welcome day, ceremony, AND reception experience that felt meaningful not just for us as a couple, but for our guests as well. I’m not exaggerating when I say our guests LOVED him. After the wedding, so many people mentioned how personable and friendly he was, and how skillfully he guided everyone through the different stages of the event while keeping everyone engaged.
On a personal level, we were especially grateful for how dedicated he was to making sure the day was truly about us. He took the time to learn our story and thoughtfully wove those details into the ceremony in a way that felt authentic and heartfelt.
Thank you again, Fabio, for making our day so special.
Fabio met with us twice before the wedding to ensure a personal connection. On the big day, his presence was calming and reassuring, especially when we were nervous about the weather. He insisted it wouldn't rain, and miraculously, it didn't! We felt super lucky, as if his patience and positivity worked a little magic to keep the skies clear.
During the ceremony, he managed the flow perfectly, handling everything from the music cues to the vows with grace. Fabio has a genuinely kind personality; it is clear he truly loves his job. He puts the relationship of the couple and the beauty of the ceremony above all else. We highly recommend him!
My husband and I don’t know where to begin—thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding day so incredible! From our very first conversation nearly 1.5 years ago to the final mic drop as our MC, you were an absolute dream to work with.
Your energy, timing, and warmth were spot on. So many of our guests came up to us just to say how amazing you were—your jokes were perfectly timed, your presence was magnetic, and you brought such joy and confidence to the entire day. (Our favorite moment? “THE BAR IS NOW OPEN!!!” — iconic!!)
You made our ceremony so heartfelt and meaningful, and then seamlessly transitioned into being the ultimate hype man for the rest of the night. It truly felt like we got the best of both worlds, and we are so glad we asked about your services from the start!
We’re also incredibly grateful for the time and care you took in reviewing our vows. You helped us refine them so they complemented each other beautifully, and your guidance made the process even more special. We felt completely supported and prepared, all thanks to you.
Fabio, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such an essential part of our wedding journey. You were unforgettable—and we’ll be singing your praises for years to come. YOU ARE THE BEST!!
