Positano wedding on May 17th, 2006

 

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! 

When we got engaged we both knew that we did not want a huge wedding in our hometown, so we decided to get married in a place we have always wanted to visit. 

 

After we narrowed our choices down to Italy, we found Exclusive Italy Weddings online.  Navigating through the outstanding website was so helpful, and it did not take us long before our hearts were set on Positano.  We sent an email and we had a reply from Laura Frappa the very next day! 

We were very impressed by how quickly she replied and how helpful and kind she was. 

 

I wish there were words to express how grateful we are to Laura for being so incredible at what she does. 

The paperwork we needed before leaving the U.S. was the only thing we had to take care of, and she helped to lessen the confusion greatly!  

 

Laura arranged for everything down to the last detail from car service, to flowers, our gorgeous wedding car, and our beautiful ceremony. Jim and I were never unsure about any of the planning; we had complete faith in her, and she certainly surpassed our greatest expectations. 

 

We chose to stay at the beautiful Hotel Marincanto after searching online, and we were blown away by how perfectly placed it was.  Laura booked us in what had to be the best room in the hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea.  The staff of the hotel was always friendly, smiling, and willing to assist in whatever was needed. 

 

Our ceremony was absolute perfection. 

The weather was ideal, (as it was the entire time we were there), our guardian angel, Giovanna, was amazing, and the photographers were unsurpassed.  We had such a fantastic time during the photo session; we felt like celebrities and the tourists and locals had such a sweet reaction to us! 

Our pictures are out of this world and everyone who sees them says they should be on the cover of a magazine. 

Our pictures were delivered to us the next day at the hotel, and we received our marriage licenses the very day of the ceremony!

 

After the ceremony and photo session, we returned to the hotel to find a much appreciated surprise of champagne and strawberries, compliments of the management. 

 

We arrived at La Sirenuse for dinner, and that was an experience we will undoubtedly never forget.  La Sirenuse is by far the most amazing restaurant to which Jim and I have ever been.  Our server, Salvatore was attentive and helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. 

The wine recommended by our steward, Daniele was a perfect match. 

 

Our wedding was a dream come true and we would certainly recommend Exclusive Italy Weddings and the charming town of Positano to anyone.  Laura, thank you so much for everything.
