It
was always a dream of ours to get married abroad and Italy was
our chosen destination. We started surfing the net for potential
reception venues and churches and the grandeur of the whole planning
soon became apparent!
We came
across a few wedding planning services, asked for quotes etc,
but right from the word go one company stood out miles ahead of
the rest....Wed In Rome. Although it was just an email, we could
tell that this company was different from the rest...they cared
about our wedding. It wasn't just another wedding. It was ours
and it was just as important to Wed In Rome to get everything
right, as it was to us. Pam and Sheila were extremely professional
throughout the process yet there was a warmth and friendliness
that made us feel completely at ease and we trusted them 100%.
 |
We
decided to take up the 'come and see' offer and it is the
best thing we could have done! We were both quite nervous
about meeting Sheila for the first time but as soon as she
arrived at our hotel, she put us at ease and within no time
we were all talking like old friends reunited. Sheila shared
our enthusiasm and excitement and this was so reassuring
for us. We had sent a comprehensive list of what we wanted
and what we were looking for in terms of the style of reception
venue. In the end, Sheila showed us round 4 venues which
fitted the bill to the 'T' and then she threw in a 'wild
card'. Once we returned home we had the hardest decisions
to make but it was the wild card which won. We opted for
a church wedding in Rome centre (the absolutely spectacular
church of San Marco Evangalista al Campidoglio) and a reception
outside of the centre overlooking the stunning Lago Albano.
In fact the decision process was probably the most stressful
part of our wedding. The rest was all taken care of by Sheila
and Pam. |
Nothing
was too much for them and the speed at which they responded to
our many emails was remarkable.
We had
a group of 80 guests flying into Rome over a couple of days for
the wedding. As we were staying out by Lago Albano, Sheila arranged
transport for them from the airport and even came to pick up a
large group of our guests who arrived late at night. Sheila also
managed to retreive forgotten luggage from the shuttle bus without
even batting an eyelid! Nothing was a problem for her and this
was invaluable as we had nothing to stress over...all was taken
care of for us.
Alongside
Sheila on our wedding day was Pam's fantastic husband David. His
company was enjoyed by all our guests and once again, David was
more like a friend to everyone than a 'wedding planner'.
Sheila
booked Danilo for our photographs and he was absolutely great.
He kept us laughing yet was not intrusive at all and let us enjoy
the time we had together away from the rest of the wedding party
as we went round the spectacular sights of Rome having our wedding
photos taken.
Working
hard too was Benadetta, a fantastic young lady who escorted us
during the day and kept us on track with our photos.
Before
we knew it it was time to say goodbye to David and Sheila and
it truly felt like we were saying goodbye to friends.
Our wedding
was a day that we will never forget. It was more than we could
have wished for. It was a brilliant experience for all of our
guests too and we all have the hard working team at Wed In Rome
to thank for that!
This
is a company that is 100% professional, 100% friendly, 100% trustworthy
and 100% worth every penny!!! If we were to do it all again, we
wouldn’t waste time looking around. We would head straight
to Wed In Rome, and enjoy every minute of the wedding build-up.
Thank
you Wed In Rome from the bottom of our hearts. May your business
continue to prosper and may you continue making couple's dreams
a reality for many years to come!!!

After
having an amazing wedding in May 2010 we can honestly say
that without Wed In Rome, none of it would have been possible.
If
you are considering getting married in Rome there really
is nowhere else to go for the ultimate wedding planning
experience. Both Sheila and Pam were extremely efficient
and professional, constantly updating us on events and bookings,
accommodating our every need and making sure we were nothing
but happy with every element of the big day. Once in Rome
– nothing was too much trouble for Sheila! She met
us at the airport, showed us numerous venues, even taking
us to a supermarket when we ran out of baby food!
We felt totally looked after from the beginning of our experience
to the very end ..and even beyond!
We
left a few belongings behind in church and Sheila kindly
posted them back to England for us…outstanding service.
We can only thank Wed in Rome from the bottom of our hearts
for a truly exceptional day.

When
we decided to get married in Rome, we browsed online for
several hours looking at what different organisers had to
offer, but as soon as we came across "Wed In Rome"
we just knew this was for us!
From
day one, Pam dealt with all of our questions very swiftly
and we were really confident that this would be the company
to make our wedding plans come to life! It only took a little
correspondence between Pam and ourselves before we paid
our deposit and started to get really excited about organising
a dream wedding in a beautiful location.
We
sent so many emails back and forth to Pam and to Sheila,
asking for advice on the different restaurants in Rome,
the venues for the ceremony, Wedding cakes, bouquets, photographs,
etc .. and we always received prompt replies with detailed
responses to help us make our choices without any doubts
to ensure we got everything that we wanted for our special
day. If we changed our minds on anything, there was never
any indication or hint of either of these 2 wonderful ladies
feeling put out to accommodate our wishes, which was fabulous
and we felt in control the whole time, whilst the stress
of the planning was left to them.
|
Soon
after we arrived in Rome, Sheila met us at our rented apartment
with a lovely bottle of bubbly for us as a gift, and to introduce
herself and go through the plans for our wedding day, and instantly
we felt like we'd known her for a long time. She was warm, friendly,
full of sparkle and good advice, and helped to put us at ease,
leaving the preparations to her, whilst we enjoyed the whole experience
of the run up to the big day.
We were
married at the Sala Rossa in the Campidoglio on 11th April and
WOW what a magical day it all was! Sheila and Pam arrived early
that morning to bring my beautiful bouquet round along with my
husband’s button hole, these were both perfect and were
made completely as I had requested, and were even better than
the emailed pictures I had sent as a guide. I could not have chosen
a better bouquet if I had gone to the florist myself! Everyone
commented on how beautiful it looked. Ricardo was our driver for
the day and he was absolutely amazing. He kept me calm in the
car, spoke brilliant English and made lots of jokes with us to
settle our nerves on the way to the ceremony. We forgot the bouquet
and had to go back to get it which did not faze Ricardo one bit!
He drove us back to fetch it, and we still arrived at the Sala
Rossa in good time!
Sheila
kept me calm whilst we waited to enter the Sala Rossa, and she
was by my side right up until I walked down the aisle with my
dad. She was a great support and I am so pleased she played a
part in my special day, because I trusted her, enjoyed her company
and felt at ease with her nearby, Ii felt confident that all was
well. She was more like a friend to us rather than a wedding planner.
The ceremony
was beautiful, and everything we had hoped for, even though it
was over with quite quickly. We had hired Danilo to be our photographer
for the day and he was amazing. He was great fun, never intrusive,
and captured some beautiful moments of our special day for us
to keep forever. We had photos at the Forum, Colosseum, Trevi
Fountain and Spanish Steps, each location being perfect and we
have treasured memories standing in our wedding outfits as Man
and Wife for the first time in such a beautiful city. Having the
photos taken was a great experience for us as we were alone, able
to take in our new status as newly weds, standing at landmarks
that took your breath away, and having our huge smiles and embraces
caught on camera by the wonderful Danilo.
Our guests
were on a coach with Pam’s husband David who was so funny
and entertaining, all of our guests loved him! They all said how
he had made the day even more special for them as he made jokes
with them and took them to many famous sights in Rome while our
photos were taken. Once we arrived back at our apartment, we had
a few more photographs as we cut the cake and a glass of bubbly,
and then it was time for the "Wed In Rome" group to
leave. We actually felt a little sad to say our goodbyes.
When
we got our disc from Danilo almost a week after our ceremony,
we were amazed to discover he had taken over 900 pictures of our
wedding, and they were stunning! We felt so very lucky to have
had him as our photographer and would highly recommend him to
anybody who would like amazing photos to capture special memories.
Everybody that has seen our pictures all say that they look very
professional and are beautiful. We are so glad we had Danilo!
For anyone looking at getting married in Rome, we would recommend
this company 100% and promise you will not be disappointed in
any way with the service they provide. They take care of everything,
nothing is ever too much trouble, and you are in control of everything
you want to achieve for your special day, along with their help
to finalise the details. You sit back and enjoy the whole process
whilst Pam and Sheila do all the hard work.
These
ladies are worth their weight in gold and we will always smile
when we remember them and what they both did for us. We had a
fairytale wedding in the most beautiful city in the world and
without "Wed In Rome" it would never have happened.
I hope
you all continue for many years to come and thrive! You make dreams
come true and we both want to thank you immensely.

When
we decided to get married in Rome, Greg and I contacted a
couple of companies to get an idea of what was available.
It soon became clear that Wed in Rome were by far the best
company to deal with. They responded to our initial emails
extremely quickly and presented a number of options, complete
with detailed prices, something that nobody else properly
provided. We took up the offer of meeting Sheila in Rome to
see some churches and reception venues and were immediately
impressed with how well Sheila understood what we were looking
for. At the end of our trip to Rome we had decided on a church,
reception venue and photographer. Sheila's local knowledge
and experience meant that we were able to make these decisions
quickly.
Leading up to the wedding, Sheila and Pam were always very
prompt and efficient in responding to our many emails and
were never put out when we changed our minds over various
things. We always had complete confidence that they had everything
under control and it took the stress out of the planning for
us. On the day, all of their hard work paid off with everything
running very smoothly for ourselves and our 75 guests. Every
detail had been taken care of, the table decorations at the
reception, the organist and soloist, the flowers, everything
was just as we wanted it and we had a fantastic day. |
We would recommend Wed in Rome to anyone looking to getting married
in Italy, we really didn't expect such a professional and personal
service and will always be grateful to Pam and Sheila for making
our wedding in Rome so special.

Firstly,
we just want to say a huge huge thank you to you, Barbara
and Tony for helping to make our wedding day one of the
most memorable days of our lives. It was truly an amazing
and special day for all three of us and your assistance
with Holly was greatly appreciated.
Throughout
the whole day and in fact the previous months, your attention
to our needs was second to none. We both felt completely
comfortable with all of the arrangements you had made for
us and we knew from very early on we were in safe hands!
Your professionalism stood out but yet you were very personal
which we both feel made all the difference. It was such
a pleasure to have met you and to have let you look after
our wedding day. We were so happy with all of the services
provided on the day. Everybody was so understanding and
professional which was greatly appreciated. Honestly, we
can not thank you all enough.

On
behalf of Robin and myself I would like to sincerely thank

From
the moment we found Wed in Rome we knew they were the ones
for us! We felt reassured that there was a representative
in both Rome and the UK and the initial response we received
from Pam after our first enquiry was extremely prompt and
gave us the exact details were needed to start out with.
We
loved the idea of the 'come and see' offer and took this
up in Sept ember 2008, 12 months before our wedding was
due to take place. It was fantastic to put a face to the
name and meet with Sheila after organising the initial details
of the wedding via email and phone. We could not have been
happier with the 'come and see' visit; any worries about
an overseas wedding were completely dispelled by Sheila
and we felt so comfortable in the hands of both herself,
Pam and the entire WiR team.
|
 |
The following
months of preparation were handled exceptionally well and any
requests or amendments were dealt with seamlessly with the utmost
care and attention given at all times. We were always made to
feel as though we were the only couple getting married with WiR
in September 2009!
When
our wedding day arrived it was absolutely perfect and we really
cannot express how amazing the experience was from start to finish.
Every detail was taken care of and we were both completely relaxed
throughout the entire day. Ourselves, family and friends all commented
on how Wed in Rome handled the day. Everyone who attended our
Wed in Rome wedding are now left with many wonderful memories
to treasure for years to come.
We love
looking back at our wedding photos and reliving our magical day
and now we're looking forward to returning to Rome in September
2010 to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary in the city that
will be eternally special to us both.
We wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to recommend Wed-in-Rome
to our family and friends should any of them decide to follow
in our footsteps and marry in Italy in the future. We thank Sheila
and Pam and all of our WiR friends from the bottom of our hearts
for making it possible for us to live the day we dreamt about
since getting engaged.

We
really don’t know where to begin thanking you for
making our wedding day so magical. We never thought for
one moment that we could feel this way and it’s all
down to you and the wonderfully professional, yet personal,
way in which you organised everything for us.
We
felt confident right from our first discussions with you
and Pam and were very impressed with the extremely professional,
efficient and caring way in which you helped us decide on
our wedding day needs. The day we spent in Rome with you
looking at wedding venues and areas for photographs was
invaluable.
Our
confidence in you was rewarded tenfold from the moment we
arrived in Rome and were greeted by Ricardo who made us
feel like very special people. His professional, yet friendly,
ways and knowledge of the city were like a breath of fresh
air. We were beginning to feel that our wedding was being
arranged by wedding professionals who are dear friends.
|
We had
decided to have a small wedding in Rome because we wanted a personal,
fuss free day where Roger and I could make our vows and reaffirm
our commitment to each other in a way we felt we couldn’t
in a civil service in the UK. You fulfilled – no exceeded
- all of our expectations – our wedding day was magical
– from the moment you delivered my bouquet and flowers to
the hotel (and fitted them to the lapels and handbags) to the
time we arrived back at our hotel. At our time of life we never
thought our wedding would make us feel like teenagers again but
it did – and we still feel that way.
As with
the first part of the day our celebratory meal at the Ristorante
l’Archeologia was superb. From the moment we arrived the
food and service were excellent and exceeded all expectations.
Even the drive back to the hotel after our meal was excellent
– Ricardo chose a route where we could see ‘the sights’
floodlit – it was wonderful and even though he wasn’t
feeling very well he still remained very cheerful.
We are
very aware Sheila that none of this would have happened so smoothly
and efficiently without you – you were wonderful and we
hope that we can meet again one day – perhaps on our first
wedding anniversary – back in Rome.
Once
again sincere thanks to you and everyone at Wed-in-Rome for a
magical wedding day.

Just
a quick note to say thank you for making our wedding day so special,
it really was a dream come true! The meal at Hotel Raphael was
incredible and the view was breathtaking!
Thank
you for making the organisation of the wedding so easy, people
always told me that getting married was stressful but I have to
say I didn't find it to be that way.

The service
you provided myself and John was outstanding and we felt we were
able to contact you at any time with any query! Regardless of
how small! Your replies were always prompt and detailed so that
on the day we had no surprises!
Once
again thank so much for arranging the wedding of our dreams!

you! Thank you! Thanks to Pam, Sheila, Ricardo & Marco!!!
We can't thank you enough! I have meant before now to send you
an email or a card via post. Things have been absolutely hectic
sense we got back but we had such a wonderful time in Rome and
Wed-In-Rome helped make our trip such a special event. Everyone
that has seen the pictures have just loved them. They well exceeded
our expectations. Please tell Marco thank you for getting us the
pictures so soon; they were so beautiful. You made the process
absolutely seamless for us and we appreciated all of your hard
work.

When
Joe and I decided that we wanted to get married in Rome we knew
that it wasn’t going to be an easy task to find an English
speaking company that was reliable. We narrowed our search down
to three potential companies, one being Wed-In-Rome, the other
two identified on the net. We dismissed the other two originations
very quickly as we didn’t get the personal service or speed
of attention which Wed-In-Rome gave us. Our responses from Pam
on the original requests were speedy and very personal, far from
an automated response we had previously experienced. We arranged
to meet Sheila in Rome after a few months where she picked us
up from our hotel and took us to two potential wedding ceremony
and reception venues. From the previous correspondence Sheila
knew roughly what we wanted and the two options were exactly the
sorts of venues we were looking for. Sheila was very professional
in her approach and was really helpful in assisting us in our
decision making; Sheila’s local knowledge put us at ease
in making our decisions. During the months leading up to the wedding
Pam and Sheila both provided swift responses to questions and
queries which we had either about the day itself or potential
changes to plan. We always knew what we were paying for and what
was included so there were never any surprises.
We had
our hearts set on a 4th July 2009 wedding at the Piazza Campidoglio
and the reception at the L’Archeologia restaurant with 45
guests. During the morning of the wedding day up until the reception
Sheila and the rest of the Wed-In-Rome team ensured the whole
day went smoothly and we had the most fantastic day. What worked
particularly well was having David on the coach with the guests
transporting them from the ceremony to the reception, all the
guests commented on David’s excellent commentary on the
local area as they made their journey.
We couldn’t
recommend Wed-In-Rome highly enough; if we could get married again
we wouldn’t think twice in contacting Pam, Sheila and the
rest of the team.

We
would both just like to thank you so much for everything
that you did for us. The day was exactly how we imagined
- relaxed and stress free.
In
the months leading up to the wedding everyone was asking
us if we were all organised, and every time we replied 'absolutely'
as there was very little for us to do.
We
were able to focus on what was important instead of getting
swept up in a wedding frenzy.
Obviously
all of the hard work was done by you and we very much appreciate
that.

The
service provided by Wed-in-Rome was 1st class right from
our initial contact. We were sceptical at first about using
an internet company but straight away it was clear that
we had nothing to worry about. Whatever we asked for was
never a problem and we would urge all couples to take advantage
of the ‘come and see’ offer. We had an amazing
time in Rome with Sheila; she took us to look at the church
we had chosen and then various different restaurants to
have our reception and even different hotels.
We
found planning our wedding with Sheila and Pam totally stress
free, we put all our trust in them and it was like having
friends on board to sort everything out, we had a party
when we got home and that was more stressful than the wedding
day!! Emails were answered straight away and nothing was
too much for them, if they couldn’t do something straight
away we would still have an email and our minds put at rest
that it was being dealt with.
We
got married in May at the Santa Costanza church and had
a meal after at the L’Archeologia Restaurant and the
day was absolutely perfect in every way. We booked our Mum’s,
sisters and bridesmaids in to have their hair done at the
same time as me and it was just our little party in the
salon. We were all pampered and treated like royalty! Massimo
was amazing and I nearly cried when I saw my hair, a few
of us also had our make up and nails done. Marco the photographer
and his assistant came to the hotel to take photos of us
getting ready, photos leaving the hotel and then he got
to the church to take shots of us arriving, he has taken
some truly spectacular photos that we shall treasure forever.
I also need to mention the staff at the restaurant especially
Roberto who couldn’t do enough for us and the food
was amazing!
|
 |
Being
driven around Rome in our beautiful vintage triumph was also incredible,
people were waving and taking photos of us, we felt like celebrities!!
And while we went to a few locations for our photos our guests
went on a guided tour of Rome with David and our guests tell us
that David was brilliant. Many of our guests said that ours was
the best wedding they have ever been to.
We can
not put into words how grateful we are to the Wed-in-Rome team
but especially to Sheila, who was there in Rome to sort everything
out for us, you have a special quality and your attention to detail
is second to none. Thank you for making our wedding day the most
remarkable, unforgettable day of our lives.

It had
always been Katherine’s dream to get married in Rome. However,
having chosen Rome as the wedding location, after a little bit
of research we quickly found out that this would be a daunting
task to organise, and felt that some help would be necessary.
We used the internet to look for wedding planners, and found Wed-in-Rome
amongst others. We decided to take advantage of their free come
and look visit offer, and were met at the airport by Sheila, who
was very friendly and professional from the outset.
During
this visit Sheila took us to several churches and reception venues.
We wanted a small wedding party (9 guests + ourselves) and we
settled on a lovely little chapel, San Tommaso in Formis, not
too far from the Colosseum, as the church. We also chose the L’Olimpo
rooftop restaurant at the Hotel Bernini Bristol with its magnificent
views across Rome as the reception venue.
In the
weeks and months prior to the wedding, Sheila and Pam were a big
help helping to organise almost every aspect of our wedding, from
the legal side of things to the booking of flowers and the wedding
car. We had numerous conversations both on the telephone and through
e-mail and Sheila and Pam were invaluable throughout.
When
the big day finally arrived, it was Katherine’s dream come
true. We had a wonderful soloist, accompanied by a talented violinist
and church organist, which together with the church helped create
a joyous occasion. Our English-speaking priest, Father Albert,
made us feel very relaxed and conducted a beautiful mass. After
the ceremony, we were able to have photographs in the beautiful
park and gardens adjacent to the church, before being taken in
our wedding car, a classic Jaguar Mk II, for further pictures
by the Colisseum and the Pantheon. Being driven in the back of
this car around the streets of Rome attracted a lot of attention
- it was great feeling famous for a short while. The ambience,
quality of the service and the food at the reception venue helped
to complete a fabulous day that was enjoyed by all.
This day could not have turned out the way it did without the
efforts of Sheila and the Wed-in-Rome team, and Katherine would
like to give special thanks to Bernadetta for helping her with
her dress and ensuring she didn’t get wet when it rained.
We would also like to mention the photographer, Simone, who made
us feel relaxed, and we now have a set of wonderful photographs
to remind us of our special day in Rome.

We
could not have been happier with the service provided by
Sheila, Pam and David from Wed-in-Rome. From the first time
we met Sheila to the end of our wonderful wedding day the
service was first class all the way.
The
assistance given was responsive, personal and above all
extremely professional - even when we were faced with the
horror of a booking falling through 6 weeks before the wedding
(not, we hasten to add, the fault of Wed-in-Rome!), Sheila
and Pam remained calm and found us an alternative venue
at short notice that we actually preferred to our original
choice.
The
wedding day itself could not have run any more smoothly
- it was a completely stress free experience and we always
felt that we were in the safest hands. Thank you again for
the superb service - we would not hesitate to recommend
you.

I
can not thank the two of you enough for all you have done
to make our wedding day so extraordinary. It all began 9
months ago when my then fiancée and I decided to
get married in Italy. What a dream wedding it would be,
but where do we start.
Being from and living in the United States we were clueless.
So my search on the internet began. I researched where I
wanted to get married and found the Castle Odescalchi in
Bracciano, Italy would be perfect. If it was good enough
for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, it would be good enough
for us. Then my search for the perfect wedding planner began.
I emailed 5 different wedding planners and the only ones
who could get us the Castle Odescalchi were Sheila and Pam;
I was literally jumping up and down with excitement. And
the special date we requested, 8-8-08, was not easy to get
because it is a lucky day as well.
You both put my worried mind at ease. I emailed you both
every day and I would always get a prompt response within
24 hours. Every detail for that day was attended to and
no matter what I requested you both went above and beyond
my expectations to fulfill my every wish. It truly took
10 months to plan our wedding, and you both communicated
with me every day to organize this special event. The most
difficult part of the whole experience was that I completely
relied on your judgment for planning such a special event
and you carried out each and every desire I asked for. Thanks
again so much for everything, I will never forget the wonderful
friendship we have made through this whole experience.

I just
want to say a HUGE THANKS for everything you did for us. We had
the most amazing wedding day - it was absolutely perfect.
For ages Paul and I had been trying to decide where would be right
for us to 'tie the knot'. After a weekend trip to Rome last November
I couldn't stop thinking of how it would be the most perfect place
to marry but probably not possible. I found numerous websites
and sent 3 companies an email. Thankfully, one of those was to
you. You replied with the most honest and informative email and
I new instantly that you were going to make a dream into reality.
Throughout the 6 months leading up to our wedding you guided us,
provided us with whatever information we needed and made us feel
completely at ease. When Sheila met us the day before our wedding,
within minutes I felt like we were with an old friend. So friendly,
and completely professional she made us feel so relaxed. We (along
with our family and friends) were completely blown away on our
wedding day - it was everything and more than I could have ever
imagined - I still cant believe it.

You
may sometimes wonder why you hire a wedding planner. Notwithstanding
the fact that we could not have negotiated the Italian legal process
without help, how would we have found such wonderful hair stylists
and make-up artist, a brilliant young photographer, highly professional
translator and, in Ricardo, surely the best driver in Rome?
The real proof though came on the day. Many others on this website
have mentioned the professionalism of Wed-in-Rome but every time,
absolutely every time we turned to look for something, it had
already been done. We can't tell you how well we, and our guests,
were looked after by the WiR team, apart from to say that on a
day that is supposed to be perfect, everything was.
That's
the reason why you should hire these people.

I
have always loved Rome and took Dave on a short weekend
break; he fell in love with it too. When he proposed I knew
I had to get married in Rome, I contacted you and you talked
us through all the options and venues. We had only 6 months
until the June wedding date we’d chosen anyway but
that wasn’t a problem.
We
came out in the February for a long weekend and met up with
you. We talked about venues, flowers, everything. We chose
the Villa Lais for the ceremony.
We
came out for a week, 5 days before the wedding, to get all
the paperwork sorted, it was the easiest thing in the world,
an absolute pleasure, and the day went without a hitch,
you chose an amazing restaurant for our reception and they
made our party feel like the only party there.
We’ve
returned on our anniversary and went to the same restaurant,
still just as amazing!!
Our
Wedding was a day to remember for us and all our family
& friends.
Grazie

From
the initial contact with Wed In Rome the service has been
way beyond our expectations. We wanted to get married in
a foreign country from the outset and the initial proposal
of Hong Kong was proving just too difficult to pull off,
but as it turns out it could not have worked out any better.
Every
aspect of our wedding was dealt with by yourselves with
the utmost professionalism and thoroughness. I must say
Sheila your attention to detail is what really reassured
us that we were in safe hands. From the initial meeting
there was never a moment of doubt that we would have any
problems – and well we knew even if any problems were
encountered that you would be able to deal with them!
I
would recommend, as you did to us, to any future couples
to continue to push for the initial visit prior to the wedding,
not only to choose the venues etc but also to meet you as
that was the real benefit from the visit. From that point
on any arranging could be done with the re-assurance that
you knew exactly what you were doing and also what we wanted.

The visit
did enable us to choose the reception venue and L’archeologia
could not have been ANY better. It cannot be praised highly enough,
the food was all fab, the staff (esp. Roberto I think his name
was) were brilliant and the whole night was a real pleasure. The
iPod was a great facility and again there was not one aspect which
could be faulted.
I could
go through the whole process of every aspect of the day, but there
is little need as you know how it all went, but we wanted to say
that every person you used to help make our day special were brilliant,
the nail people, the hairdressers, the staff at the reception,
the church, Lynne, Father Bill, the limo driver and obviously
Simone.
The photo’s are a real joy to look at and capture the day
brilliantly, we will enjoy looking at those for years and years
and again we appreciate all his efforts throughout the day.
All of
our guests commented on how brilliant the day was and thought
that you guys were all brilliant too. They enjoyed the tour David
gave them on the bus and were just amazed with how efficient you
were in making sure the day operated smoothly.

We
were overwhelmed with how you made our day.
Despite actually only meeting Sheila and Lee for a matter
of hours before the day and Pam and David on the day itself
it felt as though we had known each of you for an absolute
age and you were quite simply part of the family.
As we reconstructed the day over and over the one thing
which we kept returning to was how you were at the absolute
forefront of every aspect of our day whilst being firmly
in the background - ever-present yet utterly unobtrusive.
You made us feel truly spoiled and we cannot thank you enough.
We believe we managed to achieve a fun and informal day
for one and all in the most idyllic surroundings. The Villa
Lais was exactly as you said - perfect for a small and intimate
ceremony. The Hotel de Russie - worth every penny! Please
tell Marinella that from the moment we stepped off the plane
to the time we were dropped back at the airport we were
made to feel very special. The Hotel is quite simply beautiful.
My brother and his wife are already making arrangements
to stay there next year to celebrate their 20th wedding
anniversary!

After
getting engaged on New Years Eve of 2007 we decided that we wanted
to do something different for our wedding and getting married
abroad seeming like a great idea. We didn't want to go anywhere
that was too far away or expensive for friends or family to attend
and started thinking of Rome as a possible location.
After
a quick search on an internet search engine we found 'Wed-in-Rome'
and sent off an enquiry form. We quickly received a reply and
it seemed a wedding with all our requirements and within budget
was possible. We then decided to take a weekend break in Rome
which allowed us to see the fabulous city for ourselves and also
meet up with Sheila to explore the possibilities for the ceremony
and reception. This 'Come and See' visit was really worthwhile
and was absolutely no pressure or sales pitches and exploring
various churches and reception venues within would have been enjoyable
even if we were in Rome as just tourists and not planning a wedding.
Over the next 14 months we liaised with Sheila and Pam on a regular
basis to plan our big day. We were able to change various arrangements
as we went along - which is great for indecisive brides! Then
finally on April 5th 2008 we had our big day. We had chosen a
small chapel San Tommaso in Formis, fairly near the Coliseum,
with a courtyard to the front and lovely park behind which was
great for photos with the 23 family and friends who travelled
with us to Italy. Both the church and the ceremony itself were
beautiful. Our English speaking priest was also arranged by Wed-in-Rome
and from the flowers to the music from the organist and violinist
-everything surpassed our expectations.
While our guests were whisked off to the reception venue we went
off for photos at the Coliseum and Trevi fountain which was a
surreal experience and gave some really unique wedding photos.
We then went on to Ristorante Archeologia for our rustic Italian
wedding feast and celebration with family and friends and again
everything from the food to the music was more than we could have
wished for.
We would whole heartedly recommend Wed-in-Rome. Rome is a wonderful
place to get married and Wed-in Rome make the whole process of
getting married abroad easy and stress free. They offer a personal
but professional service from start to finish and we would recommend
their service to anyone wishing to get married in this wonderful
city.
We now have the perfect excuse to return to Rome for our anniversaries
- we just wish we could get married every year - to each other
of course!

... just
a little note to say a really BIG thank you for the most
wonderful wedding I was ever at! It was simply perfect.
The quality of the restaurant in the amount of food and
drink and service was 'generosity' and 'the customer is
always right'. Sheila was superb.
Thank
you for a most memorable and well organised event! The reaction
of all who were there is the same.

We
are just coming back down to earth after having such a fabulous
time in Rome.
When we initially thought about getting married in Rome it all
seemed rather daunting, what with the distance involved and the
paperwork being all in Italian. We cannot thank you enough for
making it so easy for us, for listening to what we asked for and
ensuring that everything ran smoothly and efficiently on the day.
The wedding was absolutely wonderful. The service you provide
is just as you described it; personal but very professional. We
hope that everyone will return to Rome in 2012 for our 1st proper
anniversary!!!! Perhaps we will meet you again then.

We
really had a wonderful day from beginning to end and are indebted
to you and Pam for making the day so personal and special and
everything run so smoothly. John and Sarah also enjoyed meeting
you and sharing our day. We too loved the open top drive thru
the streets I just wish we'd captured some on video!
I'm wriitng this email with Roman Holiday in the background and
remembering our time in such a beautiful city
Thank you again for making our Wedding Day totally unforgettable.

Now
that we are back home and getting settled we can look back with
pleasure at our brilliant and truly memorable wedding. Given the
perspective of nearly 3 months we have come to realise what a
very professional you did. Even I was never seriously stressed!
Thank
you! You and Pam did a wonderful job and we will always be grateful
for all that you did for us and the many happy memories that you
made possible. Memories that we and the family can enjoy for the
rest of our lives.
Having
decided to to get married in our 70s we thought that a quiet wedding
with just the family was required. Perhaps in Derby, Gretna Green
even?
No we
decided on Rome. This was because we got to hear about Wed-in-Rome.
They were brilliant, everything went like clockwork, there as
no stress or hassle, nothing was too much trouble. It will be
a wedding that we will remember for all the right reasons for
the rest of our lives. Even superb weather was provided.
We also
managed to throw a coin in the fountain so we will be going back!

We cannot
thank you enough for all you did for us on our wedding day. The
day actually turned out to be more wonderful than I ever expected
it could be. My guests have all said how spectacular the day was
and how it’s the best wedding they have ever been to. The
whole thing was stress free due to everything being done for us
by you which makes the whole thing seem more enjoyable. I would
definitely recommend your service to anyone thinking of getting
married in Rome.

We would
like to thank you all for your hard work, support and professionalism
throughout both the planning and day of our wedding. They say
a wedding day is the one day you will remember forever, and we
certainly agree that with your help ours certainly was a fantastic,
wonderful and definitely a memorable one for us.
Our family and friends would also like to express their sincere
thanks for aiding us in the preparations in making the day and
our stay in the wonderful city of Rome so perfect.
When we had the initial idea to marry in Rome (January 2006),
we thought it would be a difficult task, however finding Wed-in-Rome
was the answer to all our questions. Your responses were always
prompt and precise, and we felt totally at ease dealing with you
all. When visiting Rome in September 2006 to research our dream
we had yet to definitely decide to marry here, however upon meeting
Sheila with her experience and knowledge she helped to make the
decision so much easier. We knew that Rome was the city we wished
to marry, and that we would use Wed-In-Rome as our Wedding Planner.
From this time everything was organised to perfection. We would
definitely recommend Wed-In-Rome.
A mention for David. We hadn't had any dealings with him until
a few days before our wedding day. Thanks to both him and Sheila
for making everything run so smoothly on the day, we can appreciate
it must be stressful getting everything to come together.
A special thanks to Pam for all of her hard work and commitment
for making our dream come true.
A special thanks also to Sheila for all of her hard work and commitment
over there in Rome.
Could you please pass on our thanks to the photographer and his
sister Linda, (the photos are excellent!), the driver Ricardo
and staff for transporting us around on the day, and to Sergio
the interpreter for his easy to understand translations!!

From
the start of our wedding search, we found Wed in Rome quite early
on and really from the off-set they were so helpful and professional.
We had a long engagement, which meant that we had a long time
to think about our special day and to plan it. Sheila and Pam
were nothing short of amazing with this!! We met Sheila on 3 occasions,
all times her efficient manner shone through - she was full of
suggestions and enthusiasm for us and always gave us her opinions
on our ideas. On the actual day, the whole team were amazing -
they ran the day like a tight ship! All our guests had a wonderful
time and thoroughly enjoyed their day, from the hotel, the photographer
right through to our fantastic band and meal. Thank you all for
a day that no one will forget and it will remain in our hearts
forever.

We could
not be more pleased with the excellent service provided by Sheila
when arranging our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and her
attention to detail was superb. We married in Villa Lais which
I would highly recommend to any small wedding party, the atmosphere
was fantastic and we were made to feel very special. If you ever
have a worry about booking a wedding over the internet (which
is basically what we did) you have absolutely nothing to worry
about with this company who totally exceeded our expectations.

Let me
explain why we chose Wed in Rome:-
We both searched the internet for all the companies that organised
weddings in Italy. We then whittled the list down and e-mailed
3 companies. 2 of these responded within a couple of days (including
Wed in Rome) and the 3rd responded (an appallingly late) 4 weeks
after our query. It was then a matter of which company made us
feel that they were interested in tailoring our wedding to our
personal requirements rather than being a package holiday. The
responses from Pam & you were always reassuringly quick and
informative. It was not long before we informed the other company
that we would no longer need their help and chose you! Having
someone in the UK and in Italy as points of contact is a real
bonus and comfort for bride & groom. For you personally Shelia,
it was like talking to a friend. You have a gift of putting people
at ease and very quick to build relationships (my Mum thought
you were lovely too!). Thank you so much for making our wedding
such a perfect experience that we will treasure for the rest of
our lives. I would definitely recommend you to anyone wishing
to marry in Rome.

We
were married in Rome in December 2006. Sheila and Pam (and the
extended “Wed-In-Rome” family) have been outstanding
in the services they offered. They were proactive, diligent, friendly,
professional and thoroughly a joy to work with. We travelled to
Rome prior to our wedding and Wed-In-Rome provided us with a full
itinerary where we looked at churches, florists, reception venues,
hair dressers, photographers, tried the various cuisines etc (they
covered every eventuality!). Their experience is first-class and
they are thoroughly reassuring… we were always convinced
that our wedding would be perfect! It was, and we thank the Wed-In-Rome
team for that! We cannot recommend their personal service highly
enough.

Thank
you for making our wedding day run so smoothly. We had a fantastic
time and are absolutely convinced that we made the right decision
in choosing Rome and "Wed-in-Rome" for our nuptials.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are sure that we will return
to the city - it's a beautiful place. We particularly liked the
"finishing touches" provided by you, making our day
even more special. It was so nice not having to worry about anything
or anyone, just pleasing ourselves. Just a few hours after our
wedding we were back out and about with huge ice creams and dinner
by the Pantheon - so nice not having all the family palaver and
just pleasing ourselves on our special day. All was exactly as
your website suggests; everything is arranged, the paperwork is
under control and there is no stress whatsoever! We would definitely
recommend your services to others intending to get married in
Rome. What with frequent changes in administration and really
needing someone in situ it would have been impossible for us to
arrange our wedding ourselves, and that was a pretty low-key affair.
Thanks also to Tony & Barbara, Marco and our driver. You and
Pam seem to have struck an ideal balance between you, and we hope
that your company goes from strength to strength with its unique
level of personal service.

Thank you both for helping make our wedding day truly memorable.
The reason that we chose 'Wed-In-Rome' in the first place is because
you answered your phone and you clearly knew what you were talking
about. As you know, we wanted a very laid back and stress free
day and you contributed to that fantastically. I am certain that
getting married abroad, in a foreign language can be hugely problematic
and the fact that you were always contactable, always did what
you said you were going to and kept us informed all of the time
reaffirmed what a great decision we made to use your services.
You have a great team on the ground and we had total confidence
in you all. Thank you once again for all of your help - in particular
with dealing with our enforced change of date.

We would like to thank you very much for organising our wedding
in Rome. Since our first trip together to Rome, it was our dream
ambition to get married in this beautiful city even though we
were expecting it to be a nightmare to organise considering the
infamous reputation of the Italian bureaucracy. We reviewed a
large number of wedding organisers in Rome and from the moment
we made first contact with you and Pam we found your service to
be far more superior. In particular you were both always available
whenever we needed help and advice during the planning stages.
Our special
day was a complete success and this was due entirely to your experienced
knowledge and preparation prior to the wedding day, and your effective
organisational support on the day itself. Our families all commented
on how expertly and politely you organised the proceedings and
made them all feel very welcomed, comfortable and relaxed.
Please
convey our special thanks to your entire team and especially to
Bruno the manager at the Hotel Gladiatori, Danilo our photographer,
our translator and finally the driver of the Bride’s car,
all of who contributed to our very special day, which will remain
in our memories for ever.

Both
Paula and I were extremely happy with the services of Wed-In-Rome.
From the start we were trying to arrange a short-notice ceremony
and both Pam and Sheila (who is based in Italy) did everything
that they could to facilitate what we needed. They were friendly,
extremely helpful and flexible and were prepared to put in maximum
effort to set up what we wanted for the day.
Due to
work commitments we were not able to register here and get our
UK documents to Italy until very close to the planned ceremony
and the team in Italy was able to get everything sorted out in
time. Effectively they arranged our wedding in 2 - 3 weeks.
The Villa
Lais was a lovely setting, although there were only 4 of us so
it was simple to fit into what is quite a small venue. They also
arranged a driver, photographer and a hotel balcony for a drink
afterwards with some canapés, champagne etc. The driver
collected us from our hotel and as we had to return directly to
the UK after drinks they also arranged for the driver to take
us to the airport.
I cannot
recommend Wed-In-Rome highly enough and I believe that they do
offer value for money. The alternative of arranging a wedding
yourself unless you have unlimited holiday and fluency in Italian
boggles the mind as forms seem to be a national passion in Italy!
In terms of having the day run smoothly I would advise you to
lean on Sheila for as many of the arrangements as possible. We
always had the feeling that she took as much care of us as if
it were her wedding and we are very happy to have had the chance
to thank her with a glass of bubbly after the event. She was definitely
part of the day from our perspective.

I'm constantly
boring friends with talk of our wedding!! For us getting married
was more about being married than actually getting married. We
wanted it to be small, personal and with a minimum of fuss. We
truly did not expect to enjoy it as much as we did. Before I got
married I was a real wedding cynic, now I'm wedding mad! Getting
married in Rome was fantastic, it made the whole occasion so special,
not only for us but for our guests also - I would recommend it
to anyone and we wouldn't have changed a thing. It really was
an amazing experience. Wed-in-Rome provided an excellent service,
from recommending venues, showing us around the city on arrival,
looking after our guests and coordinating on the day to providing
an after care service second to none. Wed-in-Rome were both professional
and personal. Getting married in Rome would always have been special
but Wed-in-Rome made it the truly amazing experience we will never
forget.
