Marius and Ernesta – 2022In short, Mr. Raf was absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment we contacted him to plan our wedding, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to get to know us and understand our vision for our special day, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was taken care of.
Mr. Raf’s knowledge of the local area and wedding industry was exceptional. He was able to recommend the best vendors for our needs, from florist to caterers and musicians. He also provided us with a range of beautiful venues to choose from, and worked with us to find the perfect location for our ceremony and reception.
Throughout the planning process, Mr. Raf was always available to answer our questions and offer advice. He was patient, kind, and understanding, and he made us feel like we were his top priority at all times.
On the day of the wedding, Mr. Raf was simply amazing. He coordinated every aspect of the event with precision and care, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. He was calm, confident, and in control, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day.
Overall, we cannot recommend Mr. Raf highly enough. He is an exceptional wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond to create the perfect wedding experience for his clients. If you’re planning a wedding in Ravello or anywhere else in Italy, we would highly recommend working with Mr. Raf. He is the best of the best!
Richard and Jennifer – 2022We can not recommend Raf highly enough as a wedding planner! He took on our challenging case and made our dream wedding come true – an intimate ceremony in a beautiful and romantic 14th century church on the Amalfi Coast.
We contacted Raf from the US in May, only 4 months before our wedding date, hoping to have a combined Catholic & Civil ceremony in early September (a very popular time for weddings in Italy). On top of our tight timeline, the Catholic part presented special challenges as one of us was non-Catholic.
Raf delivered above and beyond our expectations. The outcome was so special to us and the process was also wonderful; he clearly loves what he does and is a joy to work with. He made what could have been a very stressful process incredibly easy.
Raf clearly communicated the somewhat daunting paperwork requirements upfront and assured us that if we followed his instructions carefully, we could accomplish our goals. He was responsive, supportive and an excellent problem solver throughout the process. When we struggled to get some needed appointments for the paperwork in Italy, he made them for us and attended some on our behalf. His relationships with local authorities were invaluable and definitely facilitated our process. And he does it all – he even acted as translator for our application filings with the Catholic church and local authorities and during our ceremony (the Priest did the service in Italian). He also arranged for a special priest to do our ceremony who was understanding of our mixed-religion situation and delivered a very meaningful ceremony. And his vendors were also very high quality and reasonably priced; working only from a couple of photos of flowers I liked, his florist created a stunning bouquet that I absolutely loved!
On top of it all, he’s really a good guy! From the moment we first reached out to him to our arrival on the Amalfi coast (where he scooped us up at the train station with a big smile and reassuring hug) we knew we were in great hands!
We are forever indebted to you Raf – Grazie Mille!
Mark and Amanda – 2019My wife and I are so happy that we decided to trust in Raf to make our wedding day amazing! At first I felt comfortable planning our destination wedding on my own, but I quickly realized how many moving parts there are to make sure that everything goes smoothly; even for our small wedding of 14 people. I was referred to Raf by one of the churches that I reached out to via email in the early stages of our planning process. From the very beginning of working with Raf he was communicative, thoughtful, diligent, honest, and made us feel as though we were the only wedding he was helping plan! Every single detail of our wedding was perfect, beautiful, and exactly what we had pictured in our heads when we imagined our Italian wedding. The moments that Raf helped to create will forever be in our memories, and we will forever be grateful for Raf’s attention to detail and treating us like his own family. If you decide to partner with Raf in planning for your wedding, you will find yourselves reminiscing your perfect day and writing a similar testimonial to this about a year from now! Side note, all of Raf’s travel advice while we were exploring on where to park, what to see, and where to eat was much appreciated as well!
Words cannot express our gratitude Raf, you are amazing! Keep doing what you do; helping amplify love and happiness in the world!
Forever Grateful,
Mark and Amanda
David and Megan – 2017Mr Raf was by far the best decision we made for organising our wedding in Italy.
He brought an uplifting energy to the day, was very trustworthy, flexible to our requests, and gave us the freedom to book what we wanted without restraining us to a pre-scheduled day as I had found many other wedding planners do.
He is a local, and is well networked with wedding suppliers in the area.
Most of our communication was by email in the beginning, but I felt reassured by his services as he was always very prompt with email responses, and was transparent in fees and prices. He was also by far the cheapest planner I found, and lives and breathes wedding planning.
