Organized Event Management Fees (weddings, honeymoons, & managed vacations)

The service fee for setting up & managing events is an additional 15% of the total price of all 3rd party vendor reservations made for the bride & groom (e.g. hotels, transport, photographer, things to do, trips).

The 15% fee covers:

On-going planning and itinerary development & budgeting
A record of all reservations (e.g., hotel, place of ceremony/reception, transport, flowers, photographs, trips, activities).
Pre-event status reviews
Pre-event review meeting after you arrive in Italy (weddings only)
Event set-up and tracking
The free loan of an Italian cell-phone with free calls to our help desk.

Hotel Costs

It is our policy not to mark up hotel room costs for couples or their guests. We always use the hotel price list from the hotel's web site with no alteration, except translation from Italian to English where needed. Hotels reservations are made as a courtesy to wedding guests at no extra cost. Note: this does not apply to our self catering venues - e.g, villas, castle, etc.

Cancellation Policy

All payments are subject to loss in the event of cancellation. We recommend you investigate wedding and/or travel insurance.

Note: weddings are especially difficult for hotels - if a wedding gets cancelled, hotels can find themselves with an empty or near empty hotel with no or little time to fill it. As such wedding cancellation policies are usually quite tough.
