We are writing to thank you for the amazing job you have done. You have been so wonderful & patient with us. I (louise) found you on the internet after I researched for days to find exactly what I wanted. I gave you an email and then I called you to talk in person and from then on I knew that it was history after that. I had no idea where to start and how to tackle the wedding especially by myself (also with Ashley’s help and support). You were amazing with your suggestions, advice and experience in this field. I found it hard at times to think of what has to happen, what to organise, etc, where family usually are there to help, think of things, help organise things, really just bring up things that should be addresses, and you filled that void to perfection, without the family squabbles. I appreciate what you did as I know quite a few times I was asking probably silly questions, having to get you to repeat yourself & not to mention any hurdle, big or small, that was put in front of you, and you handled it straight away and corrected it in such a professional manner. You have been a saint and our angel. Without you we don’t know how any of this could have been possible as we both agree that no one else could have done as good a job as you did. We want to also give a big thanks to Daniella and Alessandra who also helped us and made sure the wedding documents and legal aspects were all accounted for and addressed so that we able to be married. The day of the wedding was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. The ceremony at the cloisters was so beautiful and set the scene and atmosphere for what was to come. We wanted a classy, elegant, laid-back but fun wedding and it was definitely delivered on the day. Also having the mandolinist there made it even more authentic. We want to say congrats to him for playing our request of Everlong by Foo Fighters while signing the certificate he did a great job. The reception at the Restorante O’ Parrucchiano was better than we believed it would be. There was nothing too great a task that they could do and went above and beyond their duty for the reception. The meal was amazing and more than we all could eat so no one went away hungry. They even perfected our request of a gelato wedding cake (instead of a normal wedding cake) even with the design we gave them. Even though people were full from the meals everyone found room for the gelato and then wanted more. The restaurant then requested we change from the restaurant to their nearby hotel roof top for sunset and drinks which was a hit with everyone and made the party even better. It has been 3 weeks now and everyone that was present still raves about how they had such a good time and that it was a wedding they won’t forget. Everyone has said it made a long lasting impression on them. I would recommend Sonia at Punto di Fuga to anyone. If anyone were to get married in Italy, particularly Sorrento, I highly recommend you and not to worry about looking around anywhere else.
