When you and your other half decide to marry abroad you obviously want everything to run smoothly and be the very best it can be. You set your date, invite your nearest and dearest and then, find the very best people to help you create the perfect day, hoping all of your dreams come true. 

Sarah and Danielle are the very best people! They had everything at their fingertips to help us bring our day together – and my gosh it was everything we had dreamed of. 

Their knowledge of locations, photographers, hair and make-up people and most importantly their ability to navigate the complex Italian legal system to make sure we were legally married in one ceremony (no registry office in England first) was first class.

From the first video call we knew we could trust Sarah, she was kind and funny and understood exactly the day we wanted. Her fee’s were very reasonable, and nothing was too much hassle. She gave us detailed instructions on the paperwork we had to complete in England. She offered suggestions for town hall locations, we decided on Frascati (stunning!!) she gave us a list of wonderful photographers, we picked Daniele Torella’s Studio and Stefano was absolutely superb on the day, we wanted simple hair and make up and Anna Mette created the look we wanted without the faff of trials. And, she was there on the day making sure every box was ticked and translated the ceremony for us (a legal requirement if you don’t speak Italian). 

We couldn’t recommend Sarah and Danielle enough, together as a team they went above and beyond making our special day the dream wedding we will never forget! Thank you both ✨❤️

With very best wishes

Thank you Sarah and Daniela for helping us plan our perfect elopement in Rome/Tivoli. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a wedding planner in Italy. They were kind, professional, organized, and able to answer our many questions that popped up during the planning period.

I cannot thank Sarah and Daniela enough for everything they did to make our wedding day as special as it was, we really could not have asked for better.
Being from the UK we searched for wedding planners online, and out of all the companies we spoke to we felt an instant affinity with Sarah and how she could give us so much information about anything that we could possibly want to know.
Through the months prior to the wedding our questions were always promptly answered, and nothing was ever too much, every request we made was handled with ease. Being a ‘last minute’ couple, everything was made so much easier by Sarah taking care of the bulk of the work and her getting in touch when she needed to know specific details.
From the first point of contact, Sarah provided us with amazing venues to get married and have our reception in. Having been to Rome several times previously, we had never been to the location that we chose, but we are so glad that we did choose it! The whole event was absolutely stunning from start to finish.
We visited Rome in November to see the venue and meet Sarah and she was so friendly and, of course, extremely helpful. We were so amazed by the venue and its panoramic views of the city; we knew instantly it was for us. We spoke to staff about our menu choices and what we wanted, and it was obvious that everything was in hand.
There was an issue with our paperwork in Italy and our ceremony couldn’t go ahead as planned, but from the second that Sarah knew about this problem, she had a solution, and it honestly worked out better than it would have going by the original plan.
The day itself was spectacular from start to finish. The flowers arrived even better than I had imagined, and I didn’t feel nervous or rushed as I felt as though everything was in hand. Walking into our ceremony was beautiful, the officiant couldn’t have been nicer, and it was a truly emotional and lovely experience. We were then taken off to have photos taken around the city and our guests were directed to the venue’s terrace where they could have reception drinks.
When we arrived back at the venue we were directed to the room where we were having our meal, and it was beautiful. The tables were incredible, the food was wonderful, and Sarah was on hand the whole time.
I never believed people when they said that their wedding was the best day of their lives – but it really was mine. And it was also the best wedding I’ve ever been to – without being biased.

My girlfriend and I went to Rome at the end of May, and I wanted to take this opportunity to make my proposal. I contacted Sarah to ask her if she could help me to organize this moment.
What she arranged was amazing, it was trully perfect and exactly what I imagined! She was so kind, reactive and enthusiastic, I really had a good feeling about her and I was not mistaken, our moment was perfect!
Of course, my fiancée and I warmly recommend Weddings in Rome!
Many many thanks for everything you did for us, we really enjoyed an unforgettable moment thanks to you.

We had an amazing experience with Weddings in Rome and can’t recommend Sarah and the team enough. Sarah was highly organised and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly. She helped us solve hiccups along the way and helped us stay on track in the lead up. Even better, her and Daniela were a kind and warm in presence in the lead up and on the day, helping us to feel relaxed and happy throughout. We loved our experience with Wedding in Romes and now have unforgettable memories of our wedding day to cherish forever. Thanks Sarah and Daniela for making our dream wedding a reality.

Kirsten and Peter

From the moment I sent my first email to Sarah, I knew my wedding was in safe hands.
Sarah was quick with responding, offered advice and listened to my concerns throughout the whole process.
Not only did Sarah organise my wedding, she organised it during a global pandemic without breaking a sweat! She was calm, honest with me and determined! We had more bumps in the road than either of us thought were possible but Sarah and Danielle made sure that our day went perfectly smooth.
We honestly had such an amazing day in Rome getting married and I strongly believe that it would not have been as successful if it wasn’t for Sarah.
I would not hesitate to recommend Weddings in Rome to anyone. I know that Sarah specializes in couples that are coming from abroad but I would recommend having Sarah involved in your day regardless of where in the world you live, including Italy. The knowledge of the paperwork and formalities is second to none and she made life so much easier!

Cecilia and Jonathan

Let me just start off by saying that our wedding planning had many bumps along the way to the point where I wanted to cancel the whole thing. We are from California and working with someone who lives in a different continent might seem hard. However, Sarah was very accommodating and responds in a timely manner to emails and queries. On days where it felt impossible to get through the day because of the hurdles that we had to deal with, she was there to give me just the right information to keep moving forward. When we finally met her, it felt like meeting an old friend. She was warm, unassuming, and kind. My wedding day turned out perfectly because of her hard work and dedication. It was beautiful beyond expectations. Thank you Sarah!

Symbolic Wedding Rome

Paul and Leigh

My beautiful bride and I have just returned to Australia after getting married in Rome in early August and a honeymoon in the Med and UK. It’s obviously a long way from Australia to Rome, so to try and organize the logistics of a wedding would be challenging.

We already had selected a hotel with a rooftop terrace to hold our intimate ceremony, but we needed help with everything else.
Great idea…..lets use a wedding planner.

A google and study of reviews lead us to Weddings in Rome by RAYS srl….and Sarah. It turned what could have been an almost impossible task, into a relatively easy experience to tick things off the ‘to do’ list after receiving recommendations for photographers, hair and make up, cars, celebrate, flowers, violinist, etc…..

The day went like clockwork, was perfect. Sarah met with us a couple of days prior so our minds were at ease knowing we were in good hands. Her English was perfect, so no language barrier either via email or face to face. Our ceremony was intimate, just the two of us, no friends or family. Sarah added a friendly face and a few ‘it will be ok’ to the bride when the inevitable panics occurred prior to the ceremony.

The experience with Sarah was just easy, from our first email exchange when deciding who we should engage, to the hug goodbye after the ceremony when we were getting in the Mercedes with the photographer to get pics done at various monuments.

Thank you Sarah and we would strongly recommend Weddings in Rome by RAYS srl to plan large or small ceremonies in Rome or other areas in Italy.

Very professional service. we found WinR on the internet, without any recommendation or previous experience more than the comments available on weddingswire, so we contacted Sarah. She and her team made us trust their work and nothing could have been better. Timely responses, good understanding of our needs and budget, and nice attitude helped us to coordinate remotely our big day, which was great success. I don’t hesitate to recommend Weddings in Rome!

Sarah has been amazing to work with. She was very accomodating to our requests and was able to quickly grasp what kind of wedding we would like to have. We really liked all of her recommendations for churches and reception venues. Communication by email was very easy and swift.
Once we met her and Daniela in Rome she made sure all the boxes were checked and everything would go smoothly on our big day. During the day she was always in the background, making sure everything was going as planned.
We would highly recommend working with Sarah and Daniela when getting married in Rome!
