    Linda was just fantastic from first meeting to the day itself!

    From the first time we met Linda she could not have done more for us! She was knowledgeable and responsive and importantly honest through all our questions!! She found us the perfect vendors for the day, kept in close contact and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. On the day she was there to support and keep things on track. We could not recommend her enough.

    Flawless planning services - went above and beyond for us!

    Linda executed the perfect wedding day for my husband and I. From our conversations early in the planning, Linda listened to our priorities, the details that really mattered to us, and what experiences we wanted our friends and family to enjoy.
    She helped us find the most talented vendors to bring our visions to life. She is well connected in the industry and we benefitted very much from her friendships with local vendors as we are from the United States. Her organizational skills and trustworthy advice on timing and all other logistics helped me manage and elevate my expectations.
     
    I am very fond of her personality!
    She gracefully lead the day, communicating with my guests and the vendors behind the scenes. When my friends and family turned to me for a “what’s next” que, I turned to Linda and she wasted no time transitioning to the next part of the day without any guests being taken out of the joyous moments. We moved locations multiple times and it was easy for people to go their own way at times, but Linda always steered everyone in the right direction and this allowed me to be fully present and have fun on my wedding day. It was sweet to see her spark conversations with the guests. She made my grandma laugh and feel very special.
     
    From the moment we met to the day of the wedding, 
    the experience of planning with Linda was enjoyable.
    Thank you Linda for producing the flawless celebration i've been picturing for years. Thank you for all the problems you solved for me and for your best advice throughout my wedding planning journey. Our experience was truly elevated and authentic thanks to your services and warmth.

    The best ever!

    If you look up in the dictionary the words professionalism, exceptional, helpful, stress-free, and kindness, you will see Linda Gatto's picture next to each of them! Linda is so much more than a wedding planner, she is the wedding mastermind!!

    My wife and I decided on fairly short notice (4 months) that we would cancel our wedding at home and instead have a wedding of 15 people in Positano, Amalfi. We were so fortunate to find, Linda, as it would have been absolutely impossible to coordinate anything from Canada without her. From our very first meeting on Zoom, we made an instant connection with Linda and we truly felt that we would be making the right decision by having her plan our wedding.

    She took care of EVERYTHING! Things that neither of us had ever thought of that came up she had an answer for. She helped us choose all our vendors (this would have been hopeless without her) and told us exactly what we needed to do! She has connections to every vendor and person involved in the wedding industry across Amalfi and beyond; every we talked to knew her name and immediately jumped to help! She managed to snag us a reservation at Hotel Marincanto when others we talked to about potentially planning the wedding said this would be impossible. There was no task that Linda did not immediately and expertly solve.

    Linda is extremely accessible - she answers every WhatsApp message straight away and gives you even more information than you could ask for! Since my wife and I were planning our wedding from Canada, and neither of us speak Italian, this was a huge relief for us, as it felt like we were both in Positano and planning everything right alongside Linda.

    On the actual day of the wedding, Linda took care of several logistical problems that arose while my wife and I were taking pictures. As we found out when we got back to the Hotel Marincanto, our marriage officiant was lost and stranded at his hotel; Linda and our guests were able to coordinate picking him up and getting him back to the venue without us even knowing! Like I said - there is NO problem that she cannot solve!

    My brother surprised us with sparkler fireworks on the night of the wedding, which I learned that he only decided to do the day before the actual event! Linda was able to coordinate a pyrotechnic and sound specialist on literally one day's notice and have them give us the surprise of a lifetime!

    If you are thinking of planning a wedding along the Amalfi coast, do not even hesitate to at least contact Linda. She will explain everything to you and, should you decide to go ahead with this once-in-a-lifetime experience, absolve you of any and all worries you could ever imagine. More than all that, you will make a friend for life with Linda! Get her help!!!

    Grazie mille!

    Linda Gatto is the BEST!

    When people asked me if I was stressed about planning a wedding, my response was always …not really…I have Linda! A true professional and such a pleasure to work with. She helped us plan the most magical wedding. Professional, highly responsive and so attentive to detail - everything was PERFECT. Highly recommend if you’re getting married in the Amalfi Coast !

    100%Quality 100%Reliability 100%Efficiency

    We organized our wedding with Linda Gatto. We asked Linda to organize an international wedding in less than 6 months. It was quite a challenging task but She walked us through each step since day 1. She was always easily reachable by emails and calls. Linda helped us choose the venue, the music, the makeup artists, and She also helped us a lot with the documents for the civil wedding.

    We do not know how we could have done without Her help. We strongly recommend Linda Gatto and Her agency for everyone who wants to organize the wedding of her dreams.

    Perfect Planner for our elopement in Amalfi!

    Linda was a pleasure to interact with from start to finish, she was responsive to our every request and question. Her knowledge of the local area is fantastic so she was able to offer lots of suggestions/quotes for everything such as venues, photographers, hair and makeup artists, restaurants, transport etc.

    Even on the day, there was a last minute hiccup with the weather. Linda did a fantastic job to rearrange on the venue on short notice. It was not the original plan but we are so happy how the day turned out!

    We would recommend Linda to anyone having a wedding/elopment in the Amalfi, Scala, Ravello area. She made the whole experience so easy.

    So glad I went with Linda - 2 COVID postponements later, we had the perfect day

    I am so glad I went with Linda Gatto for my wedding. We had actually gotten engaged in 2019 and planned our destination wedding in Amalfi for October 2020... and then a pandemic happened. Linda worked with us from the beginning with securing our initial dates and vendors, then helping us with re-securing dates for 2021, then finally again in 2022. Not only did she help relieve some of the major stress of changing dates twice, but she also was there to help with every little could-be-disaster on the day of.

    Linda went above & beyond!

    I cannot say enough good things about Linda and her team! She was very responsive from the moment I reached out to her. We had to postpone our wedding 4 times due to COVID and ended up planning and re-planning our wedding for 2.5 years. Linda was there for us through this nerve-wracking time. We're in San Francisco and she replied at all hours of her day which was so much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is planning a wedding in Italy. She knows all the great locations, vendors and has a lot of experience in coordinating the wedding day. Our day was more than special and we're forever grateful for this great experience. Grazie mille!

    Linda is extremely talented

    What an amazing experience I’ve had with Linda Gatto being my wedding planner. I had my wedding in Italy while living in the US so planning it seemed like a difficult task because of not being able to see the venue in person, taste the food, etc., but I trusted Linda with everything and she didn’t disappoint one bit. Every single detail was perfect. She made my wedding the most magical
    experience ever and I will always be thankful for her. If your planning on having a wedding an Italy, she is your girl!

    Positano wedding

    We are an Irish couple who had a Catholic ceremony. Linda planned everything and made our wedding day great. She sorted all the paperwork and legal documents.
    She met us at the town hall to register and sign declaration and was there for the reheresal in the church. From the recommendations for flowers, music, photographers and decorations to the decoration and set up of the villa, it was amazing ! Thanks for everything.

    We are from the UK and since getting engaged there was no other place we wanted to marry than on the Amalfi Coast! We came across Amalfi wedding planners on Trip advisor and contact them, we were lucky enough to have Linda Gatto who is simply the best! Linda is efficient and thorough! Always happy to respond whatever time of day and she genuinely cares about your wedding! We married at the Tramonto D'Oro hotel in Praiano and it was amazing! Linda co-ordinated everything for us and all the paperwork - it was very simply and straight forward! I would 100% recomend their service, they are reliable and trust worthy! Linda, you are simply amazing thank you for making our day so special! xxx

    We live in New Zealand and got married on the Amalfi coast in Maiori this June. We are so happy we chose Linda Gatto to help us plan our wedding. Being so far away meant a lot of communication via email and she was always quick to respond and answer any questions we had. We also arranaged a Skype call to discuss details. Linda made great recommendations for a wonderful photographer, Tania Lerro, her photos are just beautiful, I can't recommend her enough. She also gave great options for hair and make up.
    When we finally met Linda in Italy her help organising documents for the town hall to the crazy queues in the post office were essential in making sure things went smoothly. On the wedding day she was just lovely and it made it so special for her to be the one translating the ceremony. We never got chance to say a big thanks in person as we were whisked off by the photographer. Thank you so so much Linda!!

    Dear Linda
    We wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding day perfect. From our first point of contact you answered all our questions and understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. You answered all of our questions promptly and we really appreciate how helpful you were from start to finish. You helped us with every tiny detail and gave us confidence our day would be exactly what we wished for. You brought joy to our wedding day with your friendly and loving approach to reading of our poem, vows and exchange of rings. You laughed and enjoyed our special moment with us. We toured the coast from Ravello town hall to Positano and every step of the way you had organised and communicated with our driver and photographer. We truly had the most amazing day.

    We are from Montreal, Canada and we wanted our wedding to take place in Praiano on the Amalfi coast in Italy. We loved the beautiful church of San Gennaro and knew that to get married there, the paper work would be difficult to handle on our own. We searched and decided to have Linda Gatto as our wedding planner. It was a great decision. Linda is a sweet and a very, very patient person. I must admit I was a difficult and a demanding bride....she had to answer hundreds of emails with multiple requests. Her expertise saved us, we had a wonderful wedding day! The paperwork was done smoothly and we had our dream wedding at San Gennaro's church. The reception was at The Tramonto D'Oro Hotel and despite the fact that we had only 26 guests, the room and the table was stunning with the help of Rosalinda's wedding lab florist in Praiano. Jennifer Adams from Lace & Luce photography will help us remember that great day with her out of this world talent as a wedding photographer.
    I strongly recommend Linda to plan your wedding in Italy...she will help you with all the details and will make your dream come true. She booked for us amazing musicians for the reception : Vittorio Frattini's quartet. It's not possible to describe how professionnal, classy and a great singer this man his ...and he works with an outstanding group of musicians. It made our day unforgettable.... there is no way we would have had such a wonderful day without her help and expertise.
    Thank you Linda, we will never forget you !

    Planing a wedding is stressful enough let alone a destination one! I was so happy to find Linda! She helped me plan my perfect wedding! Very quick to respond went above and beyond my expectations! Was so helpful, have me multiple prices for things which was very helpful when trying to stay on budget. Also helped plan the legal part of getting married for someone overseas. Love her!!

    We planned our wedding for the picturesque town of Positano on Italy’s beautiful Amalfi Coast. For a US citizen to have a legal wedding in Italy, one must first go through "hoops" (to detailed to explain here) and then it must be done in a “Comune or Town Hall.” The Comune di Positano is a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea, which is why we selected it over Capri or the other towns along the Amalfi Coast. When we found Linda Gatto, I immediately knew she was the only wedding coordinator for us and acually lost an entire deposit by canceling the contact of a previous planner I had found prior to Linda. It was completely worth it and I'd do it again in a second! Our wedding day itself was beautiful and the Mediterranean Sea sparkled behind us as we said “Si lo voglio” (I do) to each other. Linda Gatto, our wedding coordinator had truly created our dream ceremony. The floral garlands were beautiful, the music from the harpist was very elegant and I know she made a special request to "Mother Nature" for us as the weather was divine. Rosa, our celebrant, was the "icing on the cake" as her warmth, personality and passion for her work led to the most wonderful ceremony we could have hoped for. She put so much joy and spirit into the poems I had selected for her to read in creating a personalized ceremony. She led us graciously through our vows and exchanging of the rings. It was truly the happiest day of our lives and we are so grateful to Linda and Rosa for providing exceptional service. We love you both and are so glad that we have two wonderful friends now along the Amalfi Coast to visit when we return!

    Destination Wedding Praiano

    Linda was fabulous. We began planning our destination wedding mid-2019. Our initial wedding date was set for May 2020. Of course that didn’t work out. We began re-planning for October 2020. That, of course, didn’t work out either! We finally ended up getting married in Praiano in September of 2021.

    Through the multiple date changes, deposit holdings and COVID restriction inquired, Linda was by our side leading the charge.

    When we finally made it to our wedding day, Linda made it special. She really does care about her clients and will bring a lot of passion and emotion to your special day.

    Positano wedding with Linda

    Linda was on a list of planners recommended by our hotel. After the first call we knew we found the perfect planner. Wr had previously done some research and every vendor we found on our own also highly recommended her. Linda did an amazing job of coordinating our music, flowers and making sure everything went smoothly the day of our wedding. She also has an amazing personality that lets you know everything is going to work it perfect. We also loved all of the vendors she recommended (flowers, music, lighting, menus, hair, local restaurants for rehearsal dinner, etc,). We highly recommend Linda!

    Excellent experience, would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding abroad

    Linda was excellent in providing lots of choices and sharing her local knowledge of the Amalfi Coast along with options to suit all budgets. She was always available to answer my questions and feedback honestly. She worked directly with the venue and different vendors to organise flowers and music that matched exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day itself she took care of all the small details and made sure the timings were perfect which meant we did not have to feel any stress and were able to enjoy our day properly. She truly made it a special day and we couldn’t have done it without her! Highly professional company and able to help with all the legal requirements for marrying abroad. Thank you Linda! Xx
