Michael and Alexis – 2018

Raf made our Ravello wedding fantastic.

He was incredibly attentive to every last detail in the preparations, and a joy to interact with.

On the day of the wedding, he seemed to be in five places at once, ensuring that everything was perfectly in order.

He was also a wonderful tour guide — our Amalfi Coast tour was peppered with unique perspectives and humorous anecdotes that only he could give.

We would wholeheartedly recommend him for any couple seeking an unforgettable Amalfi Coast wedding. We wish we could get married there again, just to work with him more!

Bassanio and Nikolina – 2018

We couldn’t have asked for a better and more perfect wedding day, all thanks to Raf. He was absolutely incredible throughout the whole process. Raf was very attentive and responsive, always willing to help and we had lots of questions. We met with Raf the day before our wedding to go over some last minute details and have a saluti with some bellini. On our wedding day, he was always one step ahead of us whether it was organizing a taxi for us and making everyone feel comfortable. We had an amazing experience for our wedding reception at a family restaurant that Raf recommended in Positano. Thank you Raf for all your help and attention. We would definitely recommend his services to other couples.

 With love,

Bassanio & Nikolina Gallo

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!

Stephen and Gina – 2019

Mr. Raf,
