Mascia,
We're absolutely fine thank you and although the wedding is becoming a little distant will always be a good memory. Also, all of our friends and family without exception have said how much they enjoyed it.
Warm regards

Dear Mascia
Thank you so much for organising our wedding - it was fantastic.
Everyone had such a lovely time in Tuscany, and it was terrible to leave.
Tim and I are back home now and I have a few days off before I go back to work, and I am trying not to get post-wedding blues after our big day. I am hoping to convince Tim to come and live in Italy as I love it so much there and now have extra lovely memories of Tuscany and Greve.
The reception went perfectly, the catering company were absolutely amazing, all the guests could not get over the food - it was so gorgeous. The waiters were superb, very good and the cake was unlike anything I had seen before. The photos have tuened out very well.
I could go on and on about how great the day was, I am so sorry to have caused worry about the certificate - thankfully it turned out fine in the end - thanks to you.
Thanks again Mascia - and do think about visiting the Turks & Caicos Islands, we would love to see you.
Love Katharine and Tim

Ciao Mascia,
Our reception was this past Saturday and it was great - despite a hurricane coming by!!!! Talk about weather!!! Hurricane Dennis bypassed the west coast of Florida and went up through the Gulf of Mexico, so we were very lucky. It was an Italy-themed party (of course) with lots of grapes and wheat as decorations :) We put together a DVD of photos and video from our trip that we showed with a projector - so you made it to the big screen! You're famous!
We did get the papers, thanks. I'm in the process of getting my name changed on everything.
Say hi to Simone and Veronica. We enjoyed two very nice bottles of Villa Dianella wine and oil with some fresh mozzarella with my parents over the weekend.
Take care,
Brittany and Doug

Ciao Mascia,
Great to hear from you. I've attached two photos from our wedding: one from the ceremony with you in it and one from afterwards on top of the lookout at the Palazzo Pretorio. I hope they work for you.
Please feel free to use us as a reference anytime.
We can't wait to return to Italy to see more of your wonderful country.
Ciao Brian and Julia.

Hi Mascia,
Thank you for a wonderful wedding. We just got back from Italy yesterday. The setting could have not been better for a wedding. I will send pictures as soon as I can.
Hi Mascia,
I thought I would drop a line to say hello and thank you again.
I hope it is okay, but the Rick Steeve’s web site added a section about getting married in Europe. I posted a reply and I have received many e-mails on who I used. I hope the people who have contacted me, contacted you for assistance and your services.
Regards,
Shawn and Nancy

Dear Mascia,
The service we received from you was phenomenal, the hours you put in to capturing the romance and atmosphere of our wedding day was exceptional. We are delighted with our wedding album and our family have already printed and framed many of the photos that you have provided on the CD.
The service that we have received from you has far exceeded our expectations and we cant thank you enough for the memories you have captured for us. We would certainly recommend you to anyone considering a wedding photographer in Italy and are more than happy to assist in anyway we can with testimonials etc.
We had an absolutely fantastic service from Mascia at Happening for our wedding on 28th May in Certaldo, I happily recommend her to you. We had such a fantastic time and you did such a great job, that we did not hesitate to recommend you.
Love Nicola and Mark

Dear Marcia,
We would like to thank you for a perfect wedding day! We had arranged our wedding from the Netherlands, so we didn't have a chance to visit the locations up front. When we arrived in Italy it was a very pleasant surprise, you could not have done a better job! Our dream was to have an outdoor wedding and you managed to find us one of the few locations where that was possible, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci!! After this very special wedding location we went to the 'Borgo Allegro' in Vinci to have our toasting. This is also a place long to be remembered by us and our guests, because of the relaxed atmosphere, nice music and art and, ofcourse, the excellent antipasti!!
Thank you very much for your enthousiasm and all your help!
Kind regards,
Theo and Marieke

Hello Mascia,
How are you? Our honeymoon was too short off course but we had a really fantastic time in Italy. Thanks to you! ….It was really fantastic. We've told everybody this day was more beautiful then we could ever imagine!
I'm sorry I did not tell you before. I hope the photo's will make everything allright!
Lots and lots thanks to you! And a warm hug to you too

Dear Mascia
We are well thanks and enjoying being married but I have to say, I really miss planning the wedding and all the work involved and the trips to Italy etc. - I loved every minute of it!
Once again - thank you so so much for all your work last year - you really made everything run smoothly and your presence on the day made me feel much more relaxed! Everything you arranged was perfect - the makeup, the flowers and of course the legal work. People are still talking about our wedding and many have said it was the best wedding they were at. They have all said that the weekend was very special and most fell in love with Italy and have already planned their return trip. Once again - thank you so much and if we can ever be of any assistance to you in London, please let me know.
Please also let me know if the photos are OK or if you want some different ones.
Regards
Cath and Kit

Cara Mascia
"Un ringraziamento dal fondo del cuore ad Happening, che ha contribuito a rendere il giorno del nostro matrimonio, il più bello della nostra vita".
La frase può sembrare scontata ma riassume veramente tutta la nostra gratitudine per l’impegno e la professionalità che avete impiegato(e che hai avuto te e tutto lo staff) ad organizzare la nostra festa.
A presto,
Alberto e Cristina

La Rimbecca, 9th September 2005
Arranging a wedding from South Africa could have been a very stressful affair, but working together with Happening alleviated a lot of the stress associated with planning and executing a wedding. They were very flexible (and patient) and allowed us to run certain of the tasks entirely on our own, while those tasks where we needed their expertise, they delivered beyond our expectations.
We had an entirely enjoyable day, and Mascia and her team were world class hosts, and not even a torrential Tuscan storm could dampen the spirit of the occasion.
Happening is extremely professional and we would recommend them to anyone.

Ciao Mascia,
We enjoyed our day very much in Siena and we wish to thank you again for all of your services. It was a wonderful day and the man that married us made us very happy with his kind words. We were very lucky indeed.
"Getting married in a foreign country--Italy, in our case--can be intimidating. But you made the entire experience effortless and truly enjoyable. Thank you for making a special day even more memorable."
And we mean every word! Let us know if you need anything else. And hope all is well!

Ciao Mascia!
Finally I am sending you a photograph of our wedding day. We had our wedding reception when we arrived home and it was wonderful. We had an Italian theme with Italian food and music. Everyone had a wonderful time and we could not have asked for anything better.
Thank you again for all of your services. Claire and I loved meeting you.
If your husband and yourself ever manage to make it to New Zealand for his hobby email me and we could be your free tour guide for a day!
I hope all is well and business is good.
Warm Regards
Scott and Claire
Ciao Mascia,
I am just writing to thank you for the wonderful ceremony that you organised for us. It was absolutely perfect in every possible way.
I know it has been a long time since our wedding (2 years almost!) but we think of you each time we look at our photographs. You made the day very special for us and the thing we appreciated the most was how everything was organised for us and we had absolutely nothing to worry about.
We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding in a city that took our breath away when we first arrived.
We chose Happening to organise our wedding as they were the one company online that was prompt in responding to our emails and was able to describe everything we needed in great detail. You have no idea how this made us feel relaxed and stress free. We were mentioning the other day that we were so lucky to have had a unique wedding that went without a hitch and was no worry to us.
Italy is now a part of us and in our hearts and minds. We plan to return next year to visit Siena as we promised to the gentleman who married us in the commune.
I have included a photo of us on our special day as a little "thank you" from Claire and I.
Kind Regards
Scott & Claire Lyons
