“Luisa is a lovely woman who was really committed to support us in the organisation of our Tuscan wedding. When we had to find another venue only five months before the wedding, she arranged new options within a week. After a one-day visit to Italy, we found the perfect wedding venue together. She understood her complementary role in our self-arranged wedding. She was always easily accessible and flexible in her communication, also late at night – haha! Two days before the wedding, she arranged the finishing touches at the venue, such as mowing the olive grove before the ceremony.
Luisa, we are incredibly grateful for all your help! With you warmth and relaxed vibe you gave us the reassuring feeling we needed at some moments.”
Ruben & Lisanne (June 2023)
“As a destination bride and groom, we were nervous about finding a wedding planner for our Italian wedding – until we met Luisa! After one phone call, we knew she was perfect for the job- she felt like a friend from day one.
Luisa helped us plan our wedding for a year and a half, and she made the entire process such a wonderful experience. We were nervous that it would be stressful planning a wedding from across the world, but Luisa was so wonderful – she assisted us with choosing a venue by going on site and sending videos, which made us confident that we were picking the perfect spot for our wedding. She coordinated every little detail and sourced vendors to make sure everything was planned perfectly.
When we arrived to our venue for the wedding, we were SHOCKED at how perfect every single detail was. There was absolutely not one thing that went wrong or was not right – Luisa’s suggested vendors were amazing and she made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it the day of the wedding. All of our family and friends were so amazed at how Luisa was able to coordinate everything so flawlessly
We would not have had the perfect wedding without Luisa. We could not be happier with how everything turned out!!”
Carlie & Robert (August 2023)
“The first step in planning our Tuscan wedding was to find a wedding planner. After speaking to Luisa, immediately we knew that La Bottega del Sogno was the company for us. Luisa’s warmth and understanding of our vision really stood out. We really enjoyed being accompanied to view wedding venues, selecting our food choices and all the small details in between. The staff at La Bottega del Sogno are wonderful and we are so grateful for their services. We and all our wedding guests had a wonderful time in Tuscany, it really was everything we could have dreamed of and more.”
Stacey & Tariq (May 2023)
“Luisa delivered us the most beautiful weekend in Martina Franca, Puglia, in September 2023. She was responsible for finding the venue, securing us the most incredible church and finding us vendors who far exceeded our expectations. At times we were worried we would go way over budget but Luisa had planned everything to a meticulous level of detail. She is cool, calm and an absolute dream to plan your wedding celebrations with, we could not recommend her highly enough. She is not afraid to voice her opinion but is never overbearing; delivering her services with the perfect level of involvement. From planning to the actual event itself, Luisa was always available, smiling & supportive. We hope to remain friends for life.”
Francesca & John (September 2023)
“The choice of the Wedding planner is not just a practical thing. Look for someone who understands your vision, who understands the essence of your love, and can transform it into reality.
I spoke on the phone with 7 wedding planners. All great professionals definitely, but when I met Luisa by phone the first time she touched my heart.
I felt immediately understood and that I would organize everything with a friend instead of a person who keeps a detachment from you and the event. Actually, Luisa does nothing with detachment, she really cares and we perceived that at every stage of the organisation.
Always available and was present all the way! From the choices of shoes and dress until we left for our honeymoon. Practically a whole year. I can’t even think how I would have managed the emotional side of things without her, because she supported me like a sister would!
I am Italian from Trieste, my husband is French, we live in London and we got married in Tuscany. Just by writing down right now I believe it conveys the logistic and practical difficulties we faced. These difficulties were greatly reduced thanks to her availability, professionalism and the Wonder Woman Luisa proved to be. She listened to every little preference and desire and turned them into reality.
Our location, though beautiful, was complicated and rigid on some things, Luisa handled a large part of that stress and tried to minimise the impact on us.
To give you an example, my husband wanted a very particular and rare car for our post ceremony drive away. Luisa found it despite our wedding being in a rural area. Then this car was sold and was no longer available. What did Luisa do… She found another one!!
I absolutely wanted peonies for my bouquet. At that time they are rare, and not recommended because of the heat. Luisa got me the peonies and I don’t know exactly what she did, but they were perfect for the entire time.
The guarantee you will get having Luisa as your planner is to have someone someone who lives your wedding planning with the same importance it has to you and not as “one of many” she has to organise. For her it is a passion, not a job.
All this is complemented by her sweetness, a fabulous sense of humor and a lot of professionalism.
For me, besides all the wonderful memories of my wedding and the events organised that weekend, I also feel the joy of having found a precious friend.
I recommend Luisa for all these reasons, and others that I have not yet managed to express with words but that are kept in my heart.”
Hind & Alexis (July 2023)
“Having been in touch with Luisa every day for the past nine months, you would think her patience might wear thin. Never! She comforted my overly controlling and organising mind at every point. She met us twice; first to visit six different venues, and second to accompany us to our catering tasting. It was crucial for us to have a planner as we do not speak fluent Italian and mostly wanted to pass everything to her on the day. All of the vendors she recommended were excellent. We kept to budget – and actually, the more we think about it, we had the most incredible weekend for such good value.
She helped us find accommodation for our guests and also organise a pizza party the night before the wedding. The whole weekend was perfect. She even guaranteed us sunshine and a perfect red sunset!!
Not only was the wedding the day of our dreams, we have made a wonderful friend for life. Luisa – thank you SO much. I will miss our daily What’sapps but I have already recommended you to one couple who we met on our mini moon in Lucca.”
Kathryn McAdam (UK)
“Luisa is wonderful to work with. I must admit, I was hesitant to hire a wedding planner at the start, but quickly saw that I made the right decision. Planning a wedding is no easy task. What made it even more difficult was having to plan it from an other continent! I could not have done it without her.
Organizing a wedding is a LOT OF WORK! much goes into the coordinating of all the details. Timelines, contracts, choosing flowers, hair dresser, make-up, reminders–she takes care of it all.
She knows the best suppliers around and the best locations, you just have to pick! Obviously I didn’t know anything and Italy was calling me for a wedding. Thanks to Luisa, it happened fantastically 😉
It was reassuring to know that I didn’t have to even think about it. Luisa not only knows the business, but is a wonderful person to work with. She is reliable, professional and takes time to get to know her clients (and make you feel like more than a client).
She absolutely puts her whole heart into each wedding details.
I recommend her for the best Italian wedding experience.”
Cosimo & Annick (Canada)
“We had a wonderful wedding day in summer 2013. Luisa was very helpful and friendly. We were very demanding couple, but Luisa was very patient to assist us to arrange the wedding. What really touched me was that Luisa was very personal. She made me feel my wedding was also important to her as her own one.
She lent us many vintage stuff and if you really want to have a wedding in Pisa, where is exactly Luisa’s hometown, she would be one of the best choices for you guys. I have to highlight the hairdresser and the make-up artist Luisa introduced because they are just unbelievably good.
About the photographer and the musician I would love to suggest you to look for them yourselves as well and then compare with what Luisa recommended in order to get the best result. The florist was also very nice. As to the rest, the invitation and so on, I would say it was descent but in the end I make it myself.
About the cake and the wedding menu, there was a bit communication mistakes but it was alright, and people seemed satisfied. The wedding car as well, we found by ourselves. What we want to say is it’s your wedding, so there are many things you have to pay attention and take care of, and what Luisa could do is to ‘help’, not manipulate or direct. And in fact she is more than helpful and always wants to help personally. With understanding and trust, both sides would be very happy to complete the same goal. Happy Wedding!
Camille & Giacomo (USA / Italy)
“After meeting Luisa after months of emailing back and forth I couldn’t of been more happy to meet such a sweet, energetic lovely lady!
Luisa is a wonderful wedding planner. She was always there at the end of an email for any of my concerns and put my mind at ease with her helpful advice.
Planning a wedding abroad is very daunting, I felt I could completely trust Luisa as she was so friendly and organised over emails and understood my ideas and translated my decoration ideas perfectly on the wedding day. She even borrowed a beautiful vase from her own grandmother that matched one from a picture reference I sent her!
Luisa did all the ceremony and table floral decoration herself, everything was beautiful and exactly what I envisioned! On my wedding day Luisa was there all day and kept everything running smoothly. I felt completely relaxed all day and didn’t have to worry about anything except enjoying my big day! Luisa has great industry contacts and was so helpful when I asked her to recommend anyone, including my hair stylist Pamela, who was also fantastic!“
