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

Dear Mr. Raf,
It’s hard to believe that one month ago today, we were fortunate enough to land on the Amalfi coast and into your capable arms. More »

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!

Stuart and La Toya – 2019

I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Mr Raf as our wedding planner. My Husband and I are from Sydney, Australia and we were married in Ravello, Italy in August 2019.

Planning an overseas wedding is daunting enough, but as I had no family living in Sydney with me, planning our wedding on my own was even more so. I discovered Mr Raf after reading through several reviews online and it was evident that he came highly recommended by everyone that had worked with him previously. After contacting a few different planner’s I knew immediately that Mr Raf was by far the most thoughtful, caring and truly dedicated planner. I had hundreds upon hundreds of questions throughout the entire process and Mr Raf went above and beyond each time to ensure I was reassured and confident in the process and my decisions. Having never been to Ravello before, and having not seen our wedding location until the day before the wedding it’s safe to say I was a little nervous. The moment my Husband and I met Mr Raf in person ALL of my anxieties and worries disappeared. He is not only a phenomenal wedding planner he is a true gentleman, so kind and warm and calming, exactly what a Bride needs when planning a wedding and more importantly on the actual wedding day. I truly believe that my wedding and the process of planning it would not have been as magical and joyous as it was had I not have found Mr Raf. All of our guests could not speak highly enough of him after the wedding and all guests were blown away with how beautiful our wedding was – all thanks to Mr Raf. He essentially held my hand through every process of planning from the very beginning. I will forever be grateful that Mr Raf was a part of our wedding and I cannot recommend him highly enough to any couples that are looking to be married in Italy.
