Bill and Linda – 2019

Mr. Raf,

My husband Bill and I want to thank you for officiating our wedding ceremony. We wanted to talk with you and let you know in person but seems you left quickly before we had a chance to convey our thanks. Just want you to know that we enjoyed it very much and so did our wedding guests. They talked about the way you officiated with positive energy and a little humor too. Our quests quoted some of your words and said you were fabulous. We were very happy and only wish we could have told you in person and also invited you to toast and enjoy the aperitif with us.

I am happy to recommend you for your professional and personalized wedding services and your efficiency and organization. It was impressive that you copied the poem for my daughter to read on short notice too. Bravo, Mr Raf!

With our sincere gratitude,

Linda West

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!

Overall experience with Raf as wedding planner and a person is excellent. A one-stop shop service. My wife and i planned our honeymoon and wedding pictures in Amalfi Coast, Italy. We were lucky to stumble upon his online presence and feedbacks. Mr. Raf knows and very reliable source for local vendors and venues. What started as planning only for wedding pictures, quickly developed to guide and advices about the other local attractions to visit and experience while on our honeymoon. We are very thankful to Mr. Raf and the few people we met as per his advise, as we had an amazing experience and unforgettable trip.

„Mr Raf“ was professional from start to finish , communicating and planning all from England with only 6 months to plan.

I thought this wedding would be hard work but he made it so easy , we met a few months before and he made us feel so at ease going through the day !

I couldn’t be happier with my day and how it all worked out !

Mr Raf is organised , professional , welcoming friendly and funny . I am now glad to call him my friend .

He’s a true pro and I would recommend him to anyone getting married on the Amalfi coast !
