Amalfi Wedding Planner

Testimonials

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.

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!

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

Mark and Amanda – 2019

My 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

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

Sean and Monique – 2018

We can sincerely say that Mr. Raf was one of the best parts of our wedding. He was both our planner and officiant. In addition to making the planning of a destination wedding a breeze, his energy and exuberance during the actual ceremony helped make it that much more memorable. Even months after our wedding, our guests still tell us how much they loved Mr. Raf! I cannot give him enough praise, for his kindness during the process, patience with all my requests, and attentiveness to make sure we had everything we needed. His through knowledge of organizing weddings, extensive networks, swift and professional responses to emails makes him a great wedding planner but his warmth, good humor, and genuine caring nature make him an invaluable addition to any wedding.

Sergei and Dana – 2018

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.
