Testimonials
Read some of the lovely things our clients have said about us.
| We worked with Love Story Events to plan our dream wedding in Tuscany and I cannot say enough good things about Hannah and her team. From the get-go, the communication was smooth, organized and professional. There’s no way we would have been able to plan such a perfect event in Italy while living in Canada without them. The wedding day itself went completely smooth and every single detail was exactly as we had discussed. I even had some guests the morning of the wedding tell me I was the “most relaxed bride they’ve ever seen.” and I truly did feel so relaxed because I knew the planners had everything taken care of and under control. Our wedding was straight out of a fairytale and we wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without Love Story Events as our wedding planner. If you’re planning a wedding in Italy I can’t recommend them enough! |

| We couldn’t recommend Hannah, Mari and Sara highly enough! We first contacted Hannah in late 2020 as we decided we’d like to plan a wedding in Italy after getting engaged there and having spent many wonderful holidays in Italy! We initially contacted a number of wedding planners but from the start we knew Hannah and the team would be the right fit! Hannah was incredibly professional, detail focussed and understood what we wanted from the wedding. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the region and knew all the relevant suppliers and found us the most stunning venue which we felt was perfect for our day. Our wedding wasn’t until August 2022 so we got to know Hannah and the team well over the planning period and we even met Hannah in person in Australia when we were travelling there to see family ahead of the wedding. Over the 2 years of contact we had so many calls to discuss all the tiny details and run through how the event would be on the day. Hannah and the team also helped us plan a pizza party in Florence the night before the wedding and a pool party/ BBQ the day after. They were there to help over the whole weekend to make sure everything went smoothly and planned the whole three days to perfection. All our guests had the most amazing time and we will look back on the weekend with so much love for the rest of our lives. Hannah and the team are not only amazing wedding planners, but also wonderful, thoughtful and kind people and we feel so lucky to have found them to plan our special day. |

| I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for everything on and in the lead up to our wedding day. It was the best day and we loved every second at Villa Eva. Everything was excellent from start to finish. We have been overwhelmed with positive feedback from our guests. Everyone has said it was one of, if not the best, weddings they’ve ever been to. That also comes from our older family members so that says a lot! The whole weekend was so much fun and everyone has left with lots of lovely memories. They keep messaging us even now to say how great it was. Thank you for helping us create this for ourselves but also for everyone that attended. We are currently on the last day of our honeymoon so I wanted to say it has been a pleasure working with you all |
Lauren & Gary
| We had the wedding of our dreams last night—- actually beyond our wildest dreams!! We were shocked moment after moment. The kindness of the driver you chose, your coordination with NH, the iPad for my parents, how the flowers came out!!!, your expertly selected officiant with a warm vibe, The Strikes keeping the energy high even when it rained, THE TABLESCAPE!!!!!!!!!! — candles, tassels, flowers, ceramics everything… This morning it’s been so fun to watch everyone’s Instagram stories to see how amazing it was from their perspective. We truly trust every suggestion you make because you have incredible judgement and taste!!! Mari, You were a superstar at keeping us calm and organized (even with the rain!), making sure every detail was perfect. Anthony and I were prepared foe anything – the day didn’t need to be perfect but you sure made it went perfectly!!! My guests were so impressed with you and loved interacting with you. Both as a planner and also as a friend. Also tears are coming to my eyes, recalling you allowed me the honor of borrowing your grandma’s antique rosary today. We wanted God at the center of our ceremony and I was missing that last piece… so even down to this last minute detail (the morning of!!) you really went aboveeeee and beyond. We thank God for guiding us toward you when selecting our wedding planners. It’s amazing to look at our old emails and see what we have accomplished together. |

| We couldn’t recommend Hannah, Mari and Sara highly enough! We first contacted We were looking to plan a wedding in Italy and spoke to few wedding planners but it never felt right. Hannah was different, she was the only one who understood us from the first conversation. It took her one phone call to understand our style, what we were looking for and how busy we were with our jobs to accommodate us. We had 4 months to organise a wedding with very little free time but at every step she made us feel like everything will be fine and possible. Hannah and Mari were just fantastic all the way through, I can not recall the numbers of times we said at home “thank god we hired them as our wedding planners”. They were always available at anytime, any day to answer all our questions and make us feel better. They also knew when to chase us, when to be honest and to the point so they were no surprises! I really felt like they were more than just wedding planners, like our friends and ready to go the extra mile to achieve the best for us. Anytime I will freak out and text Hannah she was there to make me feel so good about everything! I am so happy we chose you, everything was excellent and the wedding could not have been better. We enjoyed so much our wedding and this is because we had you there with Mari to take care of everything but also take care of us. |
Sarah & Marko
| I highly recommend using Hannah and her team, they are just the best! If you are thinking about having a destination wedding in Italy, my first and strongest recommendation – hire Hannah and her team. Without a question, apart from my choice in groom, working with them was the best decision I made. My partner and I are Americans living in Sydney, and when we decided to get married in Tuscany, I reached out to dozens of Italian wedding planners. Most were unresponsive and others were slow to respond or very, very expensive with a limited set of things they were willing to support us with. As we were (obviously) having a destination wedding with people coming from all over the world, we needed support with all aspects of the wedding. Then a friend recommended Hannah and her team to me (thank goodness!) Hannah lives here in Sydney, but works with her team that’s on the ground in Italy. Having lived and worked as a wedding planner in Italy and speaking fluent Italian, it was wonderful to be able to work with her locally, both over the phone and in person, and have her team on the ground working to explore the venues, chat with vendors directly, etc. For the three months before the wedding, I was working in Europe, and that was just as seamless – Hannah was always available and so responsive. She and her team are so incredibly professional, organised, and efficient. Both my partner and I have pretty full-on jobs, so it was such a relief to know wedding details were being sorted on our behalf. Hannah and her team made sure we had exactly the experience we wanted to have – from negotiating with the vendors on our behalf (which, by the way, can save you as much Hannah’s services cost – in our case, even more), tracking down just the right performers, helping us navigate some of the tricky family aspects of a wedding, etc. We ended up doing three days of events, all of which they helped us coordinate, and Mari was on site with us the whole time. She advocated for what I wanted (pushing the ceremony back a half hour to let the rain pass and keep it outside), made sure everything went smoothly, and coordinated all the guests. I didn’t have to do anything but be present. Hannah and her team gave us a wedding that we will never forget and that would never have been possible without their support. 11/10 – highly, highly recommend. |
Emily & Steve
| After a lot of research I accidentally came across Hannah on Instagram. As soon as I reached out we immediately hit it off. You were smart, collaborative and politely put me in my place when I needed to reign it in somewhat. Being a planner myself (different industry) I knew exactly what I wanted and you were able to make my vision come true. You were there for me when I felt overwhelmed, always had great recommendations for vendors and went above and beyond the contracted agreement. I’m confident, the day would not have been as beautiful and smooth as it was without you. If I had a question, you had an answer, and if I had a request, you made it happen. Your help allowed me to sit back and enjoy our special day and not worry about a thing! When people would say “you seem really relaxed for a bride” I was thinking luckily I had you and your amazing planning skills. Everyone should use a wedding planner. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking to get married in Italy or Sydney if you want to have a gorgeous and flawless event! Thanks again for everything, take care” |

| I got in touch with a number of wedding planners and heard straight back from Hannah, she was personable, interested in our story and immediately I felt like I had known her all my life. There was no comparison between Hannah and the others and I knew instantly that LSE were the ones for us. Along with Hannah, Mariangela also made a massive impact on us. From day 1 the responses were quick and thorough and they both went above and beyond and out of their way to help us achieve our dream wedding. Even Mari’s partner became someone we can now call a friend. People find planning their wedding stressful, especially when it’s a destination wedding, but we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. On the wedding day they ran around ensuring everything was perfect. And in the lead up they could not have possibly done more for us. We felt like we were their only clients which says a lot about them and their approach. We honestly can’t recommend them enough and have found friends for life in the LSE crew. |
Abbie & Jimmy
| It has been an absolute pleasure working with LSE on making our dream wedding come true. From the very first conversation with Hannah we felt understood and that we found a trusted partner in her and her team. Over the 1.5 years of planning the wedding, I cannot remember a day when we were not met with absolute professionalism, transparency and thoroughness. With their expertise, Hannah and her team provided us with honest opinions and objective recommendations on which suppliers and venues to choose based on our expectations. From the countless emails that were sent back and forth to the great execution on the day of our wedding – it has been an absolute pleasure working with the team and we could not have been happier with our choice for wedding planners and how our special day turned out in turn. We would like to extend a special thanks to Mari and Sara for being there on the wedding day to make sure everything was going smoothly and everyone was having a grand time. Our guests were in awe and so were we – it has been an absolute fairytale and we cannot thank you enough for making it reality! |
