Stephen and Gina – 2019

Mr. Raf,

we wanted to tell you how happy we were to have you as a part of our special day as a celebrant.

You were amazing in every way and we are so thankful for you!
Love,
Stephen & Gina

David and Alexandra – 2017

Mr Raf gave us an absolutely perfect wedding day from start to finish. It was everything we had dreamt of and more. From our first meeting with him in October 2016 to our wedding day in June 2017 he was always on hand to answer any questions we had and calm any nerves.

He arranged every detail from what were probably sometimes quite confused requests on our part and had a wonderful way of steering us in the right direction.

He knew what we wanted better than we knew ourselves!

Everything on the day was absolutely perfect, it was like a fairy tale.                    The venues, the flowers, the service, the photographer, the wedding table, everything was just fabulous and he was there throughout the day smiling as he always does to reassure us and ensure everything went smoothly. He was welcoming and helpful to all of our family and friends too throughout the day.

Mr Raf is more than a wedding planner, he is a friend and we are so happy we chose him to help us. We will always return to Amalfi and will always meet up with Mr Raf when we are there to celebrate our weeding and our friendship with him.

Marius and Ernesta – 2022

In 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 – 2022

We 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 14^th 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!

David and Megan – 2017

Mr 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.
