Incredible!

My husband and I used Roberta of Al Fresco Weddings as our wedding coordinator/wedding planner and we cannot say one bad thing about her! Since we were planning our Italian wedding from USA, Roberta was able to make many site visits and speak with the vendors at times we could not be there. She helped us from the early planning stages, which we changed venue location 3 times, until the very end. She was very patient with us and wanted our day to be perfect; she did not get annoyed with us when we changed our minds. Finally, we arrived a few days ahead of our wedding and met with Roberta and some vendors before the wedding to discuss specifics. She was there to help with our Welcome Dinner, helped set up each detail and decoration before our guests arrived, stayed until the end, and was back with us the morning of our wedding running between our church, venue, and hotel rooms to be sure everything was running smoothly leading up to the wedding. She was present with her team the entire day of our wedding, aware and made sure of everything that we wanted to happen during our special day. She always was so polite, so happy, and gave her input when we asked for her help in some decision-making. We spoke via email and WhatsApp; she was always available and included us in every update! There should not be one question in your mind, as a future bride and groom, if you should have Al Fresco Weddings plan your wedding, because the answer is YES!

Dubai > Italy Wedding with Roberta

Let me start by saying that we hit the jackpot with Roberta! Wedding planning isn't just her job, it is without a doubt her life's passion. I know this because it shines through in everything she says and does. Aside from actually deciding to have our wedding, hiring Roberta was the best decision that we made.

Since we're based in Dubai, we only met once ahead of the big day in order to choose our venue but this was not a problem. The level of communication/ responsiveness received throughout was exceptional and every step of the process ran on-time.

There are many, many moving parts when it comes to planning an overseas wedding and Roberta not only simplified things but was also able to connect us immediately with some of the best suppliers and vendors in their respective industries. She had a clear understanding of our vision, was kind enough to guide us with her expertise and made every effort to ensure that all of our needs were met within the timeframe and budget outlined. I truly feel that our happiness and unique needs were a priority throughout.

Getting to know Roberta was also a joy. She gave so much of her time to drive us around Italy for a few days to do viewings / menu tastings and we were met with big hugs when we arrived. She is just one of the kindest, sweetest and most genuine people we've ever met. We had the best time and really built up a good personal relationship whilst working together.

When the day itself came, there isn't anything to report. Every single person was timely and professional - the day/ night and following day ran without a hiccup. Roberta was onsite and available all day long - even catering for on the spot requests as they came up such as; sourcing extra ribbon from the florist when I decided last minute to do the ribbon cutting bouquet toss or locating an extra speaker for our pool party. These were both arranged within the hour.

By now it should be clear that Roberta demonstrates a true sense of care for her clients which I believe is hard to come by these days. She is a fantastic woman in every way and we feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know and work with her.

Roberta - we cannot thank you enough and would choose you every time. Wish we could do it all again! Love, Daryl & Daumantas xx
