Volterra, 17th April 2009

Hello Mascia and Chiara,

Andrew and I would just like to say a big thank you for everything that you organized for us. It was all amazing and everyone had a really lovely time - it was all above and beyond anything we dreamt of.

Everyone said that they would love to go back to Il Defizio again, as it was so beautiful there. We tried to call you a few times over the weekend for a chat but kept missing you. What is happening with the photos... we can't wait to see them!
We will be in touch again soon.

Thanks for a lovely day.

Kathy,Andrew and Elin

Portovenere, 24th April 2009

Hi Mascia and Chiara,

How are you both keeping? I hope you are keeping well.

I'm sorry it has taken us so long so send our picture ect...

We just want to say thank you so much for all your help in planning our wedding.

It was beyond our expectations and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Portovenere was amazing and we hope to visit it again in a few years to relive some memories.

You are both so welcoming and friendly and made everything to do with the very stress free. I also want to thank the Grand Hotel, they were great to us and all our guests and the meal was fantastic. Italy will always have a special place in our hearts, not only due to the wedding but also our beautiful daughter was created there...

Keep in touch and thanks again,

Anneliza and Derek

Gary and Cheryl, England

Florence, 21st May 2009

Ciao Mascia and Chiara,

Finally we have found the time to write and thank you both for making our wedding a "Special Happening".

The day was wonderful, happy and planned to perfection. David, the photographer was a perfect choice, making us feel comfortable and relaxed. The photography was not intrusive yet captured the essence of the day. We were thrilled by the quality and composition of many of his photographs. Family and friends have all commented on the way David has managed to capture the occasion and the essence of Florence.

We cannot thank you both enough for your attention to detail and the smooth organization of the day. Despite the fact that our wedding was a relatively quiet affair, you still made us feel special and that was evident in all our dealings with you. When we first met it was as though we were working with old friends!

The day was perfect, everything from the "Fiaccherai" to the restaurant. "Olio & Convivium" was an inspired choice, an excellent menu for our wedding meal, a little taste of Tuscany. The wedding cake which you organised and surprised us with, was beautiful - thank you for that.

The Sala Rossa exceeded our expectations and the civil ceremony was simple yet dignified.

Please feel free to pass on our details to anyone who wishes to, or considers getting married in Florence.

We are enclosing a number of photographs of our day. We hope you enjoy them, particularly the one of the four of us together. If you wish to use them on your website please do.

Hopefully, we will return to Florence in the next couple of years and will consider staying at your Bed & Breakfast.

Thank you both once again, for a wonderful day in a beautiful city.

Tons of love from,

Gary and Cheryl

 

Chris and Julia, England

Vinci, Villa Dianella, 3rd June 2009

Hi Chiara / Mascia

I hope the wedding season is going well. I am attaching a picture for the testimonial for 2009.
Chris and I would like to say thank you so much for making our day so special, not only for us, but our guests, who even now talk about our wedding day and how much they enjoyed it.

The day was even better than imagined, which was down to the planning and arranging on your part to make the day special to us.

Thank you again

Chris and Julia

 

Susan and Andy, England

Siena, 5th June 2009

Dear Mascia and Chiara,

Ciao!! I hope you are both very well. You must have thought that you weren’t going to hear from us again...and I wanted to apologize, because I emailed you a few weeks after we returned from honeymoon but when I was clearing out some old emails today I realized that the email didn’t get through to you! I think this must be because I tried to send you a photo of you two with me and Andy at the wedding and it stopped the email from getting sent.

Anyway, I’m so sorry that we haven’t been in touch sooner, but I still wanted to contact you to thank you for your part in our amazing wedding day! We had such a brilliant time and the setting, food and organization of everything completely exceeded our expectations. All our guests also had a really fantastic day and many have said that it was the best wedding they’ve been to. Mascia, thank you very much for the part you played in the ceremony. The food was incredible – those caterers were brilliant – and we (and our friends) still speak about the antipasti, the lovely ravioli and the amazing millefeuilles cake! Villa Sant' Andrea was also such a gorgeous setting and the slightly un-summery weather (and the water sprinklers that came on later in the evening!) didn’t dent our enjoyment at all!

I also just wanted to say that we and all our guests absolutely lovely Italy. Many hadn’t visited the country before this and had such a great time, whether they stayed in Tuscany or ventured down to Arezzo, Puglia or elsewhere. As for Andy and I, we had such a great honeymoon, it was difficult coming back to Scotland and back to work...We definitely want to come back sometime soon, so hopefully will plan a short holiday there sometime next year. In the meantime, we’ll just have to keep looking back at our wedding photos (again, brilliant - Stefano Nannucci) and our honeymoon photos to reminisce J.

I hope you are both doing well? I’m sure you’ve had a very busy time with weddings over the last few months, but hopefully you are getting some more time to relax now.

Thank you again for a brilliant day. We couldn’t have got married in Italy without your help, and for us it was perfect.

... Andy and I still speak about Italy a lot and we're hoping to come back over in September for a holiday. Can't wait!

Please pass our regards to Chiara as well!

Warmest regards,

Sue & Andy Derbyshire

 

Naomei and Jerry, England

Villa Dianella, 12th June 2009

Mascia & Chiara,

I just wanted to say how happy we are with the services you provided for our wedding.

I know how closely you and Naomei worked for a year to plan everything, and having been over twice to meet with yourselves, the caterers Convivium and David the photographer I was confident that everything would go well, but I was still amazed at just how well it all worked out. It was absolutely perfect.

Everything was so well planned that we didn't worry about a thing all day, and could just relax and enjoy ourselves.

From the wine-tasting beforehand, the official paper-signing, the Cinquecento for the photographs, the flowers, the arrangements of favours and decorations, the child-minder and kids room, it was all flawlessly executed.

The two of you were present at all the important meetings and signings to provide assistance and interpretation, making our life much easier, and taking any worries that we may have had (we didn't) away, and having gone with your recommended suppliers because we knew you would work well together made everything much easier for all of us.

Meeting them beforehand we quickly understood why you recommended them. They all shared a passion for what they do, and they all spent time assuring us that they would work with us to ensure they understood our requirements and had everything we needed.

Convivium were superb - they were polite, very efficient, they were there when they were needed without any fuss and the food received compliments from everybody. It was superb.

Villa Dianella was the perfect location for us - so much space and beautifully presented.
The child-minder was a gem - it was mayhem in the kids' room but they were all having so much fun the parents weren't disturbed at all and could relax and enjoy themselves.

David the photographer - what a talent. When we met him we just knew that he would be good. The photos he showed us were brilliant and he understood just the sort of thing we wanted. His enthusiasm and desire to please was obvious from the start, but the results were just beyond my expectations.
The slide show he worked on while we were eating and projected on to the building at the end of the evening blew us away. It was everything we had hoped for and more, and drew many a tear from our guests. He made us all look fantastic! I know we had planned it all but even so, to see us and all our guests so well shot, relaxed and just enjoying ourselves, was a treat, especially as they didn't know it was coming. It made them all feel part of the whole day, and it gave us, the bride and groom, a chance to see what we were too busy to see earlier in the day.

Overall it has been a pleasure dealing with you from start to finish, and the general feeling we have is that you didn't just help us plan our wedding but you were an integral part of it as friends who shared the whole experience with us.

The best day of our lives.

Jerry

... Ciao Mascia!

Just to let you know we received the dvd from David last night.
Please thank him very much for sending them in time for our garden party! That's really great of him! Love the photos and can't wait to receive the albums. And we are really looking forward to showing his slideshow on Saturday to our friends who couldn't make it.

Thank you!

Naomei and Jerry

 

Kathrine and James, Canada

Florence, 17th June 2009

Dear Mascia and Chiara,

Remembering that we had wanted a special place to exchange our wedding vows, and after deciding on Florence, our thoughts turned to concern about arrangements and who might assist our smaller than usual wedding party in a manner that we would hope for.

We put our trust in you (Mascia and Chiara) and from the very beginning, to the day of our wedding, you never once let us down. With the assistance of the legal requirements for our international marriage, to the arrangement of venues, right down to the details of the flowers, you handled every thing with such a sense of ease and grace, and the utmost sense of professionalism.

The wedding could not have been more beautiful, and the days events more memorable. Your care and kindness made us feel very special, and in a way, we felt as if you were la nostra famiglia in Italia.

Thank you so much for all you have done for us,

with love,

Kathrine and James

 

Nicola and Peter, Usa

Florence, 18th June 2009

Ciao Chiara e Mascia!

Nicola and I want to give you both a big hello and share our best wishes for Christmas and the new year. We also have wonderful news to tell and that is that we are expecting a son to be born this March. We are both very excited. His name will be Luca. We wish you both the best, we remain so grateful to both of you and we hope to stay in touch with you. Have a wonderful Christmas and if you have a spare moment please drop us a line.

Buon Natale e Felice anno nuovo,

Nicola e Peter

 

Lynda and Ian, England

Certaldo, 19th June 2009

Hi Mascia and Chiara,

We just want to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for us.
Our wedding day went without a hitch and you made us both feel very calm and assured that we would have a great day.

We thoroughly enjoyed the ceremony and wish we could go back and do it all again!

Thanks so much

Lynda and Ian

... Hi Mascia and Chiara,

Just got back from a really relaxing week in Tuscany.
It was great to meet you both personally last Friday after all our emails and telephone calls.
My wife Maggie and I just wanted to say thank you so much for organizing Lynda and Ian’s wedding and making it such a perfect day. We could not have imagined anything as beautiful as that!
The actual ceremony had just the right amount of solemnity with a little bit of humour – perfect. All our guests just could not stop talking about it.

So once again, thank you so much.

One final favour – could you please let me know the titles of the music that was played during the ceremony?
I would like to buy the music for the memories.

... Just to let you know that I have received the official wedding and they are absolutely beautiful. David is a real artist and I would be grateful if you could give him my warmest thanks for such a perfect job.

As always

Best regards

Mick

 

Helen and Mark, England

Florence, 8th July 2009

Ciao Mascia and Chiara,

We wanted to thank you for a wonderful wedding, it was better than we imagined and we had the time of our lives.

Sorry about the phone call yesterday, the line was very poor and Mark could not hear you.

Thanks again, please let us know how we put a testimonial on your website.

Kind Regards

Mr & Mrs Pye

 

Sarah-Jane and Adrian, England and Italy

Florence, Church of Santa Felicita, 25th July 2009

Come va? Adrian and I just got back from our honeymoon last night after the most fabulous few weeks together. We are still thinking about what a wonderful wedding we had and we enjoyed every single minute of it. Could you let me know when we will get the photos and what format they will be in?  I can’t wait to see them!

… My husband and I chose Your Special Happening to help us with the preparation of our marriage in Italy because their attention to detail was second to none. They made what can sometimes be a confusing process (particularly with documentation required!) extremely easy and straight forward. On the finer details of the wedding planning, Mascia and her team took a great deal of care and time to really understand how we wanted our big day to be and with her impressive contacts and natural flare for her job, she helped make our dream day come true. Nothing was overlooked  and everything was absolute perfection. The team at Your Special Happening  are not only excellent organisers, but they also make you feel as though yours is the single most important wedding they have ever planned. You couldn’t ask for a more experienced, professional and first class team to help organise your wedding in Italy.

Sending you all big kisses and we will certainly come and see you when we are next in Florence, which I imagine, will be very soon.

Lots of love

Un bacione

Debbie and Stig, England

San Gimignano, Il Castagno, 17th August 2009

Dear Mascia and Chiara,

We just want to say a massive thank you for all your help in ensuring we had the most amazing wedding day! It exceeded all our expectations, we loved every minute of it and wouldn't have changed anything for the world.

Both of your assistance has been brilliant, we really could not have had the day of dreams without you - you have been professional, calm and available whenever required.

If we could recommend you to any of our friends as the best Italian wedding planners, then we will. Most of our friends said it was the best wedding they have ever been to so you may get some requests!

Thanks again

Elizabeth and Alan, England

Florence, 22nd August 2009

Hi Mascia.

OK, we are all completed good.

I am very envious of the obvious satisfaction you get from the job you do. It is clear that apart from making a living, you get great satisfaction from the joy you bring other people.
Thank you again.
I collected Alan and Elizabeth from the airport last night at 2am BST and it was 11 degrees!
Elizabeth had a thick jumper on.

Thank you again for making their dream possible.

Andrea and Colin, Ireland

Vinci and Fattoria Paterno, 26th August 2009

Dear Mascia & Chiara,

We hope you are both keeping well!!!

Colin and I returned home from our honeymoon last week. We both wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for us.
We can safely say that we couldn't have asked for a better service! You have been exceptionally professional, efficient, helpful and friendly. When we decided to get married in Tuscany, we emailed a number of wedding planners for their help. From the moment we received your first email (can I add that you were the first to reply - speedy as ever!) it was obvious that you were going to provide a service that would by far exceed that of any of your competitors.

Every recommendation you made proved to be the best choice for us! Santa Croce in Vinci was a perfect church for our guests and us! It had a proper tuscan feel with lots of history; Father Donath provided a beautiful ceremony - despite only meeting him once before the wedding, he managed to provide a very intimate, personal ceremony.
Fattoria di Paterno was simply stunning (our guests were overwhelmed when they entered the gardens, surrounded by flowers, candles and miles of vineyards!).
Convivium provided amazing food and wine - and can we add that the maitre d' and waiters were highly efficient and pleasant. I don't think we need to reiterate how good the wedding cake was!!!
Our photographer David Bastianoni was professional, helpful, funny and we are really looking forward to seeing the final photos!!; the hairdressers and make up artists from Studio 65 did a great job of preparing us for the day - the bridal party were all delighted with their work!
The harpist Chiara Trallori was simply amazing in the church and the same applies to Basin Street Quintet! We were so pleased that they were able to play all our special requests! The jazz played over the apertifs was the best - such talent! The transport and the florist also provided a great service! Overall, we were exceptionally happy with absolutely everything!!

However, none of this could have happened without all your help! We could never have sourced all these people or services had we tried to organise the wedding ourselves! And for this we thank you!
We would also like to thank you for all the 'extras' which you provided - the tables at Paterno were decorated beautifully, the additional transport laid on for our guests, the idea of providing our guests with water on the buses .... and we won't even mention the missing suit trousers incident the day before the wedding!!!

Can I also thank you Chiara for her help with Colin's missing suit trousers! Not just wedding planners...

All we can hope for now is that some of our single friends present at the wedding decide to hold their future weddings in Italy! And if so, you can be certain that we shall be recommending your company to help them out!

... Hi David,

We received our wedding photographs at the weekend. Can we just say how happy we are with them!! Every photograph was breath-taking! They have brought back very fond memories of our wedding day, and we shall cherish them forever!! You have helped us relive the day and reminded us of why we chose Tuscany for our wedding- the stunning surroundings!
We can't wait to show our family & friends, who shall no doubt be equally as impressed. You are not just a photographer, but an artist!

Mascia and Chiara highly recommended you - and told us you were the best man for the job; they were not wrong! Both you and your assistant proved to be very professional, efficient and friendly.

Kind regards and best wishes as always,

Andrea & Colin

Rebecca and Brian, Ireland

Florence, Villa Il Poggiale, 29th August 2009

Hi Mascia and Chiara,

You are probably wondering where we have disappeared to! We just located the Internet access here this morning....where do I start....we will never be able to repay you both for giving life to our dream wedding! All our guests (and us of course!) have had the most amazing time and have completely fallen in love with Tuscany (some of the ladies have also fallen in love with the Registrar in Palazzo Vecchio!). We will forever be in your debt for all you have done for us....as we have no direct contact with the Basin Street Quintet, please express our heartfelt gratitude to them - they were amazing and everyone loved them! Also, if you can thank Tuscany Flowers again for their beautiful creations with the flowers and the bouquets. We thanked David profusely on the day but I will email him again when we get home.

We are relaxing here in beautiful Elba now until Monday. I hope you have a rest before your next wedding(s), and once again, thank you for everything - you make fairy tales come true!
... thank you once again for everything you did for us - everyone is still talking about the wedding!!! We received David's album and discs in the post and they are beautiful - we are so happy with the photographs and they will help us to keep the wonderful memories alive....please get in touch with us if you are ever coming over to Ireland.

... I intend to send David a card from both of us (soon I hope!) but if you could express our gratitude to him in the meantime, we would be delighted. I am attaching two of our favourite pictures (it is very hard to chose as there are so many beautiful ones). We loaded lots of the photos onto a Flickr page so that our guests could enjoy them also - I will send you the link so that you can see them there too. Can't imagine Tuscany being cold but it feels like it was Winter here as soon as we got home :-(

... I finally got around to sending David a thank you card - I also sent one to Chiara the harpist but as I don't have her address I sent to her c/o you at Special Happening - I hope this is ok? Would you mind giving it to her the next time you see her? I am going to send you some more of our beautiful pictures which you might find useful. Hope all well with you.

Take care,

Rebecca & Brian :-) x

Nick and Julia, England

Vinci, Borgo dei Lunardi, 12th September 2009

Dear Chiara and Mascia,

I can’t believe that Nick and I have been married for four months now!
We’ve been meaning to drop you both a note for a couple of months now to say a huge, massive, enormous "THANK-YOU" for the best wedding we could ever have imagined. To be honest, it all still feels like it was a bit of dream wedding – I don’t think either of us expected it to be as perfect as it was, not just the actual wedding day, but the days before and after with our family and all our guests.

Right from the beginning, you both made it a very simple thing to organise, telling us what we needed to do and when. Honestly there is not one thing I would change or want to complain about. For us, Borgo was the most amazing place to have our wedding. It was just the right size, absolutely beautiful location, very friendly and helpful staff, and of course the wonderful Stefano who cooked such delicious food too. Everyone was raving about how good Stefano’s food was – we are not used to such amazing wedding food when you get married in the UK!!! And of course the band was just fantastic, brilliant music, great vibe and lots of fun. Oh, and the fireworks! I loved those too!

Thank-you so so so much for helping to give Nick, me, our family and our friends the best wedding we could ever have asked for.

p.s. If you’d like us to do references for any of your clients, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Best wishes

Julia and Nick Moon

 

Shasta and Christian, USA

Siena, 18th September 2009

Mascia & Chiara,

I hope you are doing well and enjoying the new location. I would be happy to leave a testimonial for your website!

We are so grateful for all of your assistance in planning and helping execute our beautiful wedding. It's hard to plan a wedding overseas, but you both made it as easy as being there. Everything from the suggestions, recommendations, reservations, planning and actual wedding day went perfectly. You are both so delightful and helpful. The wedding day went smoothly as planned and turned out to be a fairytale wedding that we will never forget. I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to get married than Italy. And we couldn't have picked better wedding planners to help make it happen. Thank you very much. I would also very highly recommend the photographers and videographers that you referred us to. They all captured the day so beautifully and went above our expectations.

If we are ever in Italy (which I hope we are again soon) we will stop by and say hello. Take care!

Shasta & Christian Morris

Hi Mascia,

Thanks a mill for everything and Chiara too. You've both done fab work helping us. Getting really excited now and really looking forward to everything. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for sending us the photos. We didn't actually have any as we obviously couldn't have a camera that day. They look lovely! I presume they are ones that David took.
Anyway we just want to say thank you again for a lovely wedding day. We had a fantastic day as did all our family and friends. John and I both appreciate very much  all that you and Chiara did for us and thank you again for the photos. Everyone is still talking about the music in the Church and the band. They all loved everything about the day.
Just to let you know we received the letter from you today.

We will be in touch soon.

Ciao,

Ailish

Ciao Mascia!

I sent a quick message yesterday to your Blackberry from Damian's Blackberry but I'm not sure if it went through. In any case, we wanted to tell you that our special wedding day was incredible and memorable and surpassed our expectations by miles! So thanks to both you and Chiara for all your work and support making it happen so smoothly.

I am already so sad to leave!!!

All our best!

Fiesole, Castello di Vincigliata, 9th October 2009

Hi Mascia,

I hope you are well. I wanted to drop you an email regarding our wedding.

First of all let me say that Christina and myself were left in amazement at how wonderful things were on Friday. Our feeling is that the job that yourself and Chiara did was exceptional. I meant what I said in my speech that your no nonsense attitude really helped to make our dream day, everything we wanted. We believe that in circumstances  which were none too straightforward (the weather), you managed to put together a pretty much flawless night. We've talked about nothing else since the day and neither have the rest of our wedding party.

Best wishes and thanks for everything.

Justin & Christina Nicolson xxx

 

I wanted to send our testimonials and photo. I know this is SO delayed but better late than never! I hope you are both well, Justin and I have been doing great. :)

I could not recommend Mascia enough!!! Trying to plan a wedding from across the world was stressful enough, but once I found Mascia she was more than helpful with every email and question I had. All the vendors that she organized for our wedding were exceptional and no detail was overlooked.

I visited Florence with my husband a few months before the wedding and Mascia and her assistant Chiara organized and met us for an entire day of walking us through the venue and taking us to meet our florist and caterer putting us completely at ease. The week of the wedding she helped us and our guests with everything we needed and the wedding day went so smooth with both Mascia and Chiara in attendance to make sure everything was set up correctly and kept everything on time. Even with the unexpected weather, Masica was calm to make decisions keeping the bride stress free. Overall our experience with them was fantastic and they went above and beyond what was expected as wedding planners.

Florence, 31st October 2009

Dear Mascia & Chiara,

Hello! I can't believe it's nearly a month since we came to Florence to get married. We have received our wonderful photographs from David, so now we can write a testimonial so that other couples considering hiring you are in no doubt how wonderful you both are.

When we first thought about getting married in Florence we emailed a few companies and you were the first to reply, and very helpful right away. Although we only hired you to help us with the ceremony and to book the wonderful photographer, you never made us feel we were less important than clients with much grander plans. You always replied quickly to the millions of emails, and you were very organised from day one to ensure we got the wedding day we wanted.

We really did enjoy the best day of our lives this October. The Sala Rossa in the Palazzo Vecchio was even more stunning in real life, it was wonderful to have you at the ceremony as our translator, as we had all become friends over the months of planning. David captured the day perfectly, from personal portraits of our friends and family, to beautiful moments Ben and I shared whilst walking around Florence for our photos as newly weds.

We can't thank you enough for supporting us with everything. We really hope we will get to see you again when we are back in Florence. We will of course have to return to the wonderful Villa Dianella.

All our love and eternal gratitude,

Ben & Hannah Anderson x
