“Irene (Fairytale Italy Weddings) was fantastic and I highly recommend her, especially for those planning a destination wedding in Italy. We are a couple that is US based (when we first started planning we were in NYC, then in CA). Our wedding was ~31 people, and we wanted a venue that all could stay onsite, that had hotel like operations (restaurant, pool, staff, etc) & we could host multiple events (welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding). We quickly became overwhelmed with the number of 'villas' and venues in Tuscany. I found Irene through her Facebook group (as I was desperately looking for guidance from other brides planning destination weddings and joined a few). Irene was great throughout the whole process. She helped us find a venue that was perfect. Irene had trusted vendors she worked with that we could review and pick the ones that we thought aligned with our vision. She constantly checked in over the months to make sure we were on track with everything and booking the key vendors well in advance. She also offered suggestions and guidance throughout planning. On the day of, I had no stress about the flow, the ceremony setup or any of the vendors. I knew Irene would have it all covered and Drew and I would not need to spend time managing anything. Everything went so smoothly! We were fortunate there were no major issues, but I know if something came up, Irene could handle it. Irene was pleasant to work with, she's highly organized, very communicative and responsive (answered emails quickly). Always willing to hop on a call, and scheduled video calls for us a couple times to check in on milestones. If you are US based (or Italian!) and looking to plan a wedding in Italy, Irene is the best. Thank you for making our day incredible, we could not have done it without you!”

“I wish I had better words to express my gratitude for Irene. My husband I were married in Tuscany on June 1, 2023 and our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. Irene helped us plan three different events - a pizza party, our wedding day, and a brunch - and they were all perfect. She was extremely communicative, and I knew if any issues or questions arose I would hear back in no time. We had a bit of a weather issue on the actual wedding day and Irene immediately presented me with options and made sure that I would be just as happy with the rain out plan. From helping us find our venue, to our DJ, to our florist, we couldn’t have asked for more. Irene also made the trip to do our food tasting for us (we weren’t able to make a second trip to Italy) and she FaceTimed us through the entire tasting and truly picked the most incredible menu. She was patient with us, when five months prior to the wedding, our venue changed. I could go on and on about everything Irene did to make our day so special but I truly will never be able to give the proper praise for her talent as a wedding planner. If you are getting married in Italy, book Irene!!!”

“My wife and I got married in Italy in June and Irene was our wedding planner. We truly could not have asked for a better experience and definitely could not have done it without her. Irene helped us for 18 months leading up to our wedding and was responsive and very kind. While my wife speaks Italian, I do not, so Irene's fluency in English was great so I could follow along every step of the way. I could not recommend Irene more. Our day was everything we could have ever imagined and we still talk and reminisce on it every day!”

“Working with Irene was so much better than I even could have imagined! From the moment my now-husband and I met her for the first time, over video chat (us in New York, her in Italy), I knew she was 'the one' for us! I could immediately tell how much she cared and how passionate she is about what she does. And while planning a wedding abroad is very daunting in theory, Irene made it so easy and so pleasant for us - the whole way through. She thought of everything, kept us on track, took our preferences into account, and was also just so kind, friendly, and easy to work with - I cannot say enough good things about Irene! She is truly wonderful and if you are planning a fairytale Italian wedding, then working with Irene is the ONLY way to go!”

“Irene was the main reason everything went so smooth on the big day, and to work with her might have been one of the best decision in the process. She made sure that we could enjoy our day to the fullest. She made sure we got some great deals, and the savings by far exceeded what she cost. She was structured, understanding, efficient and answered SO quickly every time we asked about something - no matter the topic.”

“My husband and I just returned from our wedding in Lake Como and we cannot recommend our wedding planner, Irene from Fairytale Italy Weddings, enough. If you’re getting married in Italy and looking for a seasoned, reliable wedding planner don’t look any further. Irene didn’t miss a single step in communication, did not overlook a single detail, kept us organized and reminded us when payments are due, and went above and beyond during our wedding to make sure that not only us, but all of our guests were fully content. My flower girl ended up getting sick the day before the wedding and Irene scheduled a doctors appointment for the same day, and went to two different pharmacies to pick up her prescription. She went above and beyond to make sure my family wasn’t stressed and I cant tell you how much it meant to me. Not to mention, her prices are very affordable and fair. I have no idea what we would’ve done without her, 10/10 would recommend to any Italy bride!”

“Irene from FairyTale Italy Weddings was an absolute joy to work with for our destination wedding at Quercia al Poggio in Tuscany! With Irene’s help, everything about our wedding turned out even better and more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Throughout the 18 month planning process, Irene, was always available for any questions we had, was extremely quick to respond to all of our emails, and provided the perfect amount of guidance when we asked for it, to help us feel comfortable making decisions. We visited Italy twice before the wedding to choose a venue and to have various planning meetings with some of our amazing suppliers, and both trips were enjoyable and stress-free in Irene’s company. Not only did she accompany us on all of our site visits and supplier meetings, but she also happily drove us to all of our meetings as well which made everything even more convenient for us. Both of our planning weekends with Irene were completely stress free. Irene has a great deal of experience in planning destination weddings for couples such as us from the US and the UK, so we felt completely at ease and impressed with her planning skills and the level of quality she provided throughout the entire process. We had a smaller wedding with about 50 people that took place over a three day weekend, and Irene was with us from start to finish handling any last minute changes and taking care of every detail imaginable so that we were free to enjoy our day. Many of our guests mentioned how impressed they were by her, and we feel so grateful to have had the chance to work with someone as kind, professional, and attentive as Irene. We absolutely recommend Irene and FairyTale Italy Weddings and cannot thank her enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams.”

“Irene planned the most beautiful wedding for my wife and I! We live in the US and she was able to plan the wedding for us in Italy, she was very detail oriented and made sure we got everything we wanted at a very good price. I will recommend her to everyone I know!”

“Dear Irene, thank you and all of your team for making our wedding day so perfect and incredible. The day completely exceeded all of our expectations. We know that it all ran so smoothly because of your planning and organisation, so thank you. The food was outstanding as was the service from all of the staff at the villa. We received a lot of complements from our guests about the organisation of the day, the villa and the food.”

“Irene made our dream of a destination Catholic wedding in Italy possible, and within our budget!!! We were blessed to have her as our wedding planner. She is a problem solver and replied to all of our questions within 24 hours! Hire her. She is the one!”

“Working with Irene was truly a dream, she's like your fairy Godmother when it comes to planning an Italy wedding. We literally could not have planned a wedding abroad without her. She assisted us in finding accommodations for our guests, a welcome dinner venue, transportation, and all the details that go into a destination wedding! She was always very responsive even with our 6 hour time difference, helpful, positive, serene, friendly and so sweet. She truly listened and helped us with our vision for the wedding, all while keeping our budget in mind as well. Anyone who meets Irene can tell that she is such a dedicated and wonderful person who cares about her work, vendors, and clients. We are so happy that we had the pleasure having her a part of our wedding this September at Castello di Celsa. If you are looking for a wedding planner look no further, Irene is the best! If we ever do a vow renewal, you will be the first one I call. Grazie mille Irene!“

“Fairytale Italy Weddings was incredible to work with every step of the way. Irene is so kind, creative, extraordinarily communicative and knowledgable. She anticipated every need and flawlessly executed our vision for the day. Our wedding day unfolded with ease and truly felt like us, all thanks to Irene’s diligence and expertise. Irene, we are forever grateful for you!.”
