    International Day

    Patrizia is the absolute best! We had people coming from all over to celebrate our big day. We even had picked our venue and signed the contract before we connected with Patrizia and she was flexible and navigated to our needs perfectly. The day was absolutely easy breezy and everything turned out exactly as we had imagined. If you are not from Italy and you do not speak Italian, Patrizia makes the process relaxed when working with local Italian vendors. Patrizia made sure our budget was met while meeting all our expectations for the day!

    Enchanting Indian Destination Wedding In Tuscany

    We could not recommend Patrizia and In Tuscany Wedding more. Her meticulous planning and execution went above and beyond our expectations, creating an event that surpassed anything we could have imagined. We had a beautiful multi-event Indian destination wedding that was the perfect blend of Indian culture and gorgeous Tuscan setting. Walking into each event felt like stepping into a dream, with every moment more breathtaking than the last. This incredible atmosphere was undoubtedly a result of Patrizia’s direction, expertise, and visionary approach. Her ability to transform our ideas into something truly magical is a testament to her talent.
    Working with Patrizia was a pleasure from start to finish. The experience of planning our wedding, from our trip to Tuscany in February to the final event in October, was made memorable by her dedicated care. From taking us to vendor meetings to ensuring we were well-informed about all details, she went above and beyond. The late-night and early-morning calls, email exchanges, and WhatsApp messages were handled with such professionalism and warmth that each interaction became a much needed source of comfort, especially planning a destination wedding with us being in the U.S. and her being in Italy. Her negotiation skills on our behalf, coupled with her ability to work within our budget, were truly remarkable. Whether it was coordinating catering or transportation, Patrizia always found solutions that aligned with our vision.
    Our guests had the experience of a lifetime, and we owe that to Patrizia, In Tuscany Wedding, and the amazing vendors she connected us with. We couldn’t thank you enough for being a key part of our journey and for turning our wedding into a magical celebration that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

    Exactly what we needed.

    We hunted for a long time for coordinators who were based in Tuscany but familiar with American culture. After inquiring with many options in the northern Italian area, we quickly found out that Patrizia was going to be the right choice.

    Over the course of the 18 months of planning she was willing to answer all of our questions (through well over 80 emails), met with us digitally multiple times when we didn’t understand common Italian practice and she recommended local vendors in the area who introduced traditional Tuscan customs to our very American families in ways that were comfortable and incredibly fun.

    Patrizia took care of everything. All we really had to do was choose between the options she had presented and her preference was extremely helpful when we didn’t know what to do.

    On the day of, we didn’t worry about anything at all. She coordinated with all vendors, pivoting when needed and adjusted where she saw fit. There was no part of any of it where we were worried about what would happen. All we had to do was flow through it.

    This is an easy choice. It was for us. And likely was the best one we could have made in regards to planning for our day.

    Amazing!!!

    Patrizia was absolutely incredible!!! We knew right away that we made the right choice after our first introduction call. Patrizia was so accommodating to the time difference with us being from the United States. She made the process flow so nicely and we would always feel so much better after each one of our calls with how smoothly everything was progressing. She was such a professional and had worked with just about every vendor around which made choosing our vendors so simple. We put a lot of trust in her since we never got a chance to fly to Italy to meet any of our vendors or see the venue in person and the wedding still turned out even better than we could have ever imagined! She stayed close to us throughout the entire process and we already miss her and our calls! We would highly recommend anyone that is getting married in the Tuscany region to hire Patrizia as their wedding planner! You would not regret it!!

    Dream Wedding in Tuscany

    Working with Patrizia and her team was a dream. Patrizia understood our vision and our day was more magical than we could have ever hoped for. Each detail left us and our guests in awe, a testament to Patrizia's exceptional relationships with vendors and her wealth of experience. I truly value Patrizia's straightforwardness and efficiency when seeking her opinion on various aspects, which was much needed and appreciated when planning a wedding abroad. In fact, when I discovered that she was unavailable on our originally planned wedding date, we made the decision to reschedule just to have her expertise. I wouldn't change a single thing about our wedding and wholeheartedly recommend InTuscany.

    A Dream Destination Wedding!

    We really enjoyed working with Patrizia on our destination wedding weekend. Planning an Italian wedding from California would have been impossible without an excellent wedding planner like Patrizia. She perfectly executed our vision, had great recommendations throughout the planning process, and made us feel comfortable about the countless decisions we had to make. Even more, what we feel really sets Patrizia apart are the first-class vendors she brings to the table and her execution on wedding day. Patrizia and her team provided a calming presence and ensured that we were stress-free, while they paid close attention to all details. Our destination wedding truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Patrizia and team!

    Wonderful, Easy Experience Wedding Planning Abroad!

    Working with Patrizia and her team was a dream! She was extremely communicative, easy to work with, and accountable. I found that she brought great ideas to the table for vendors and collaborated really well with vendors that I had chosen. She was absolutely wonderful to work with on the actual day of the wedding. Her and her team made the day so streamlined and stress-free. Would highly recommend utilizing her if you're planning a wedding in Florence! Thank you Patrizia!

    Dream Wedding Come True

    Honestly, I cannot say enough about Patrizia. She is hands down the best wedding planner and so much more than I could have ever hoped for. Her attention to detail and flawless execution of our vision greatly exceeded all of our expectations. Every vendor she brought on was top notch, from the food to the flowers, to the lighting and entertainment, nothing was short of exceptional. She goes above and beyond to make sure every last need of her clients is met no matter how large or small. However the best part about working with Patrizia, is how she makes you feel at home, even half way around the world, she truly made us feel like family and I couldn’t imagine our big day without her. Truly a magical experience.

    Couldn’t ask for a better wedding planner

    Our wedding was in early September and I can say I was blown away by how gorgeous it turned out to be!! Patrizia was an amazing wedding planner. We live in the US, and we didn’t travel to Italy before our wedding, so she had to do everything for us. She found a beautiful venue with the view of Florence for us and all of the vendors she suggested to us were amazing, the florist, photographer, hair and makeup stylist, DJ, and catering, all were top notch. We trusted her for many details and we were so happy with the results. She was responsive throughout the process and would take care of the details if you don’t want to and she has immaculate taste so you can definitely trust her. She took care of all of our requests and even helped us with pre wedding dinner, suggestions for hotels, etc. Our wedding was a Persian-American wedding and we had many traditions that were all very well taken care of! We couldn’t ask for a better wedding planner and I totally recommend her if what you’re looking for is a gorgeous wedding!

    Amazing wedding thanks to In Tuscany Weddings

    We got engaged in Tuscany August of 2021 and due to some family medical issues that came up we chose to plan our wedding with less than a year ahead of us. Patrizia and her team were the only way this was possible. Planning a destination wedding requires you to let go of control and trust the team working on planning the biggest day of your life. There is not a better team than In Tuscany Weddings. Thank you Patrizia for making all of our dreams come true. This wedding was a real life fairytale thanks to you. We love you!

    Dream Wedding made possible Patrizia Alpini and In Tuscany Wedding!!!

    Most people only dream about having a magical wedding in Tuscany, with Patrizia’s help our dream became a reality.
    We live in Los Angeles and don’t speak any Italian. Patrizia found all of our vendors, coordinated pricing and managed the event the day of the wedding. The vendors she selected were all top quality and professional. Every one of them exceeded our expectations. We also trusted Patrizia with many of the design choices, once again what she put together was magic. From the linens to the flower arrangements to the quality of the napkins and menus. No detail was left unattended. And she pulled it all off in one of the most wedded years in history. Patrizia, words cannot express the gratitude we feel for what you did for us. Thank you for your patience, understanding flexibility and giving us far more value than we paid for.

    Magical from start to finish

    Hiring Patrizia was one of our best decisions in the wedding planning process, from start to finish Patrizia has been professional and made the whole process simple and enjoyable. Patrizia understood my vision for our wedding and executed it perfectly.

    Patrizia, helped find our beautiful venue, photographers, DJ, rentals florists and helped with much more to create the amazing day.

    On the wedding day Patrizia made me feel at ease and created the most magical day from start to finish and our guests also commented on how amazing Patrizia was. Sad not to be working with her now but would highly recommend to anyone getting married.

    Can't ask for more!

    We booked Patrizia back in 2020 and went through the pandemic together as we had to postpone our wedding to 2022. Through it all, Patrizia has been very kind, patient and flexible with us. Initially, we selected her because we really liked her portfolio, but what really impressed us was her ability to simplify the entire wedding planning process while being very detailed in her explanations during our first meeting. Patrizia has a very "up to you" work style. She does not impose any vendors or ideas on us, and does her utmost to keep within the budget given. We appreciate her ability to handle our last minute requests and change of hearts with great professionalism and resourcefulness. Last of all, we have seen how Patrizia will go above and beyond to provide us with the best experience through her actions, such as spending the day before making our beautiful menu cards, helping us with Italy's tax admin, and even letting us make deliveries to her so that we have enough luggage space. We are truly grateful to Patrizia for helping us create such a magical experience in our Tuscan wedding weekend. Grazie mille!!

    Best decision for our wedding

    Holy moly this review is way overdue, but working with Patrizia and her team was truly the best decision we made for our wedding at Borgo Stomennano this past May. After evaluating a handful of planners, we chose In Tuscany based on pricing, reviews, and the lasting impression Patrizia gave us after our interview. We believed she would advocate for us and our vision and wow did she deliver!

    Throughout the 8 month planning process, Patrizia was diligent, assertive, and - best of all - extremely responsive. She had a strong grasp of our vision (neutral, elegant, modern) so she was able to offer great suggestions, but also push back when necessary. She was was very accommodating about last minute changes (like when I booked a string quartet 2 days before) and went above and beyond to get us a guest book when I left ours back in CA!

    On the day of the wedding, the everything came together seamlessly and it was truly the best day of our lives.

    Overall, we felt like we got so much more value than what we paid for with In Tuscany's services and would wholeheartedly recommend them. Thank you, Patrizia and team

    Wedding planner

    Patrizia was a wonderful planner. She was quick to respond, thoughtful with changes, and continued to see my vision from beginning to end. We couldn’t of had our wedding in the middle of a pandemic without her. She goes above and beyond to make your feel special not only on your wedding day but during the whole planning process. Wonderful staff too!

    Wow, In Tuscany Wedding! Made our wedding perfect!

    Patrizia (In Tuscany Wedding) made our wedding perfect!
    It is hard phrase in words, but Patrizia did more than just her job to make our special day unforgettable! She found the perfect venue, an excellent caterer and helped us wherever she could! We had due to Covid postpone our wedding twice, re-negotiate all contracts etc without Patrizia - impossible. With so much passion and relentlessness she organized our weekend in order for us to enjoy the days as much as possible! Thanks you for everything you have done for us! We really appreciate your help,
    Best, Kristina & Thomas

    Wedding of our dreams

    Well where to start... We met Patrizia back in November 2019 and straight away she helped us find a venue in Italy for Summer 2021. We contacted her through emails and what's app and she has been attentive to our every need. We don't speak any Italian but we knew our wedding had to be in beautiful Italy. But then Covid happened, and Patrizia and her team provided all the support and contact we needed to make our wedding happen in Summer 2022 (either this be through changing dates, contracts dealing with vendors on delays). We could not have had this wedding without her. On the wedding day she took into account every little detail and took the stress out of our wedding so we could relax and enjoy it. Thank you so much Patrizia. If you want to get married in Tuscany, don't do it unless you have her by your side!
    Nicole and Ryan.

    Book as fast as you can if you're getting married in Tuscany!

    I can not speak highly enough of our experience working with Patrizia and Francesca! If you are getting married in Tuscany, look no further. They are kind, professional, thorough, and generous with their time and attention. We were amazed by the quality and price of every vendor they recommended and our wedding day was beyond our wildest dreams! To be honest - our wedding day turned into a wedding week, and they made themselves available to support us with selecting venues for events and activities leading up to the wedding day. It all came together seamlessly, and they made everything feel easy. Beyond being amazing at their jobs, they are amazing human beings! We consider them friends and will reach out any time we return to Italy.

    Exceed All Expectations!!!

    We were very reluctant to work with a planner as we had heard so many horror stories, then we met Patrizia!!

    I am finding it hard to put into words how amazing she was. From the very beginning, she was all over it! I went back and forth on a lot of things such as colour schemes, table settings etc. as I didn’t really know what I wanted. She was able to clearly show me options of everything and made it SO easy to pick a direction and theme. I would pick something off Pinterest and send her the pics, and she literally would recreate the whole thing perfectly.

    I was communicating with her from Canada (Vancouver) and i never waited for a response. She was straight back to me every time - and there were a lot of messages!!!

    She was there for whatever questions I had, her prices are extremely fair and her vendors that she works with are of top quality.

    On the morning of the wedding her and her team were there for whatever we needed. They quietly set up everything, we hardly noticed they were there. The set up was done so quickly and perfectly, and it blew everyone away.

    She went above and and beyond in every sense of the words, and I am so so so grateful to have had her there. She made everything absolutely stress free and easy.

    Just check out her In Tuscany Wedding Instagram and you will have the perfect idea of the kind of thing she does. And the pictures are exactly how it looks - even better actually!

    I honestly, from the bottom of me heart, cannot recommend her enough. She is truly amazing at what she does. A very beautiful and talented lady. Thank you for making our day so incredibly special. I will never forget you!!!!!

    Truly Special Day

    When we set about planning the wedding we wanted something that was laid back, rememborable for all the right reasons and for it to an amazing event. Patrizia delivered and what a day it was.

    She advised us on venues to suit our budget and we settle on Le Capanne--stunning venue and setting. The team from the villa were equally as wonderful. Patrizia took all our visions from mood boards we'd given her and honestly it was beyond beautiful.

    Patrizia was available whenever I needed to run anything by her via email and WhatsApp. We were able to Skype if needed. She took all the stress away and we were able to enjoy the day without worrying about anything. When plans changed because of weather she was accomodating and made good suggestions.

    Our guests had an amazing time and equally so did we. We can't express how fantastic the day was. We wish we could do it all again! A massive thank you to Patrizia and Francesca, you both made our dream wedding come true!

    The best decision that you can make is to hire this company!

    First of all I just want to say - Thank You so much, Patrizia! My experience with Patrizia was amazing!
    I and my fiance were planning our wedding in Tuscany. We started planning everything one year in advance. In the beginning we were working with another company and the experience was nightmare! I was stressed all the time. The other wedding planer only answered my email after 2-4 weeks. When I asked her about that she just told me that it's normal for Italy. You can just imagine how stressful it was. I started looking for another wedding planner when we had 6 months left before the wedding day and nothing was done. I'm so happy that I found Patrizia. Even with just 6 month left, Patrizia was able to pull it off. She accommodated all my wishes and found great vendors that I really liked. Patrizia negotiated the price for me to match my budget with my wishes. I never thought that planing the wedding can be fun and relaxing. It can be fun - you just need a right wedding planner like Patrizia.

    Dream wedding fulfilled

    I had the pleasure of working with Patrizia and her team in creating my dream destination wedding in Tuscany. She is always so patient and responsive, never pushy with ideas or services. Patrizia was always available via email, Skype or WhatsApp and has made the planning process a breeze. My husband, family and guests will never forget the night!! Can’t thank her enough!

    I'll keep this memory always in my heart and I hope to see you soon again!
    All the best,
    Patrizia
