“When Whitney and I decided to embark on this “journey” of a wedding in Italy, we would have never imagined a more effective, professional, and warm team. Every person involved delivered and went above and beyond to help make this wedding one that we and anyone present will never forget. To say “thank you” doesn’t do true justice to the gratitude we feel toward this team.”

Not to mention the food and the hospitality, which is better than anywhere else in Italy. Sicily is the perfect place for an Italian Destination Wedding!
