VB Events exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding truly unforgettable! Valentina, Francesca, and Martina are absolute dream-makers. They helped us source incredible ideas throughout the planning process and took all the stress off of us and our families. Being able to reach them instantly on WhatsApp/email gave us incredible peace of mind.

I really wanted customized matches, and I ordered them from the US to be delivered to Italy, where they took receipt, sent us photos, and made sure they made it to our events - not only remembering, but ensuring each different matchbook was at the correct event. aIt's those little details that made our wedding so special. They were so patient with me, especially when I was indecisive about the flowers and seating chart décor :)

They planned everything flawlessly, even thinking of details we never would have, like the surprise tenor singer at dinner! Our guests are still raving about it.  VB Events allowed us to truly enjoy our engagement and focus on each other. Thanks to them, our wedding day was filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The team is also so kind and fun! You enjoy working with them!

If you want a stress-free, magical wedding that exceeds your wildest dreams, I wholeheartedly recommend VB Events. You won't regret it!

Valentina, Francesca, and Marghe did an outstanding job planning our wedding at Villa Gamberaia this past September. I didn't know what to expect with a wedding planner, but they far exceeded anything I could've imagined.

Every detail was carefully considered- things I wouldn't have even known to think about. They work with the top tier vendors in the area and help negotiate for the best pricing on your behalf. There were so many things like flatware, furniture, accommodation planning, transportation, etc. that we would have never been able to coordinate on our own.  They helped recommend multiple options of only the best suppliers, but we also chose to find some of our own vendors, and they happily coordinate with them as well. I literally don't know how we would have planned a destination wedding in Italy without them.

Despite the time difference from the US to Italy, they were always available- by phone, whats app, email, video chat.  No question was too small or redundant.

They truly went above and beyond to bring all our crazy visions to life (i.e., tattoo artists), and they even surprised us with some creative ideas --Francesca took one of my paintings and turned it into a custom tote bag for our guests.

When we ran into an unexpected issue (the unexpected WILL happen), we were approached with solutions and worked through them together.  We had an issue with one of our wire transfers that was ultimately our fault, and Valentina helped us ensure that we were able to move forward the day of the wedding.  We could not be more grateful for having the wedding of our dreams, it was an experience that none of our guests could stop talking about... all thanks to this incredible team of women, who we consider friends.

You would be making a mistake not booking VB Events for your Italian event.

VB Events helped us plan the wedding of our dreams. If I could give them 100 stars I would. From start to finish we could not have asked for a more dedicated and professional events team. They made the entire wedding process so easy for us because they were so organized, attentive, and knowledgeable. We absolutely recommend VB Events to other international couples looking to host a wedding in Italy. They are the best of the best and they go above and beyond!

To give a bit more context, we had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2023 due to the pandemic and these ladies stuck with us through thick and thin. As you can imagine, it was super stressful to manage vendor changes while COVID was breaking out around the world, but this team helped us talk to our venue/vendors and literally kept me sane until we were ready to set a new date in 2023. In the end we were lucky to keep all our deposits and vendors, which is a testament to this team's stellar reputation in the industry.

Since we had to postpone our wedding, we essentially had to plan our wedding twice. BOTH times the VB team was super responsive to our questions and concerns. In fact, any time I sent a question to our working group, someone replied immediately within a day, and if they were not able to reply due to other weddings/travel, they let me know exactly when they would reply. We also changed our minds many times on where to hold the ceremony and reception at our venue - the team was super understanding and accommodating with making these changes. I know I wasn't the easiest bride to work with at times, so I am especially grateful for their kindness and patience with me.

For our main event, everything fell perfectly into place. We felt absolutely zero stress. I don't know how they did this, but the VB team just somehow floated around and made sure everything was seamless (like angels!). Their calm and confident demeanor was exactly what we needed throughout the day. We were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding, from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the aperitivo, dinner, speeches, cake cutting and dancing. Our guests actually commented on how they've never seen a bride as relaxed as me. Not only was the wedding absolutely beautiful in pictures but we both FELT so at ease all day. This is the reason to hire an experienced wedding planner - not for the photos, but for the peace of mind on your wedding day so you can truly be present with your loved ones. That's a huge deal and something we'll never forget.

To Marghe, Vale, Francesca: we cannot thank you enough. Our wedding was everything and more, and we couldn't have imagined doing this without your guidance, direction and expertise. It was a pleasure to work with you, and we can't wait to come back to Florence one day to meet again.

The VB team was absolutely amazing to work with. They handled every aspect of our wedding day and all the pre- and post-wedding events. It was truly a stress-free process. Everything was above and beyond expectations - we couldn’t recommend VB enough!

The VB team organised the wedding of my son and daughter-in law in Ravello. They also orgaised several pre-wedding events and every function was wonderful.  They were patient, ever helpful in supporting friends and family with transport arrangements, they had a wonderful list of suppliers and the arrangements were tasetful and elegant. They took care of every detail including medical emergencies. If there was stress - it was not visible to any of us! The guests came from all over the world (literally!) and all of them complemented the arrangements. Thank you again

Absolutely the best planners ever! So gracious, on top of everything! So organized and warm. Seriously, you can’t go wrong hiring VB Events!! We worked from the US and arrived in Sicily and it was perfection from the rehearsal dinner, welcome party and absolutely most beautiful wedding I have ever attended!!

Planning our dream wedding in Italy was made a million times more easy, and not to mention fun with the VB events team. Their knowledge of their industry and network of vendors is unparalleled; and beyond this, their passion for what they do is second to none.

We had to postpone our wedding day four times due to the pandemic which, amongst all other things, made wedding planning a bit more tricky. Thanks to the VB team’s expertise and relationships, we did not lose a penny over this. And despite all uncertainties that covid brought, we were always able to rely on the VB team for help, advice and support. Each member of their team brings something unique, exciting and special to planning and it has been a joy to work with them.

A 2.5 year delayed wedding was certainly worth the wait; not only did we have the wedding of our dreams we also got to spend a little more time with this incredible team. We will be remembering these days for the rest of our lives. Grazie Mille Vale, Marghe, Francesca & Lucre!!

Love,
Anne-Marie & Jon xxxx

Superb!

I will give a short and long version of my review.

Short: Valentina and her hard-working team established a strong, trusting relationship with us right from the start. They went above and beyond in securing the best vendors for our wedding in Sicily. They made the right recommendations, pushed for the right details when we were unsure, and made sure all of our requests were met in spectacular fashion. While we looked at other wedding planners during our research process, VB events stood out immediately as the most organized, thoughtful, and imaginative team. We cannot recommend them enough!

Long: from our first video conference call, Valentina, Francesca, Marghe, and Lucre built a deep trust with us through their organization, experience, and imagination for putting on spectacular weddings. My wife and I wanted to have our wedding in Sicily, a place that Valentina had yet to organize a wedding. Yet she and her team took on this challenge with excitement and confidence, immediately putting together a great list of venue, caterers, florists, lighting and musical options.

They flew to Sicily to meet us several months before the wedding, orchestrating a catering tasting for my wife and I while introducing us to the lighting and music team. They laid out their early vision for the wedding and worked with us to get the details right. While we explored the island, Val and team identified the right hotels for the wedding party and guests and rehearsal venue for the night before the wedding. This first trip helped us get super comfortable with Sicily and made the wedding vision clear for what had to be done in the months ahead.

In the months leading up to the wedding the VB Events team was responsive to us over WhatsApp, sharing inspiration and ideas with us and answering all of our questions. When needed, we had video conference calls to go over specific details with the team. They kept details organized in an excel for us so it was always easy to track cost estimates and what contracts were signed. By the time my wife and I travelled to Sicily for our wedding we had everything planned so we could be fully relaxed.

While we enjoyed our wedding weekend at the beach and pool, Val, Franci, Marghe and Lucre worked tirelessly to perfect the rehearsal dinner and welcome party venues with artfully designed flower table settings and lighting. They helped direct guests to each event and made sure everything ran smoothly. And everything was perfect! Every detail was even better than we expected, from the folk musical trio they recommended, to the saxophonist who electrified the dance floor, and to the fireworks guy who went above and beyond!

My wife and I had a vision for our wedding, which VB Events executed perfectly, then amplified with their expert recommendations. It was a true partnership that we valued from day 1. We could NOT have planned this wedding without them. Their relationship with our vendors was immeasurable as they helped cut costs while keeping the best quality.

If we went back in time we would choose them again in a heartbeat! You will not be dissatisfied going with VB Events. They are the nicest, hardest working group of women. They were also kind to host us for coffee at their Florence office during our honeymoon!

Thanks VB team!

The VB team helped create our dream wedding event. Throughout the pandemic and multiple times of postponing, we eventually had the best experience - only curating the highest quality suppliers and vendors and showing us the best of Italy. We had high expectations, which were all surpassed. The team was dedicated, diligent, practical and caring.

VB-Events was phenomenal to work with and we could not recommend them highly enough for anyone's wedding planning needs. They helped us plan our wedding across the world during Covid, and planned five days worth of events with incredible attention to detail, communication, and vision. They are an excellent team and very detail oriented and client focused.

We could not recommend them highly enough and are so happy and lucky that they were our wedding planners. Hiring them is the best thing you can do for your wedding.
