Perfect ❤️🇮🇹

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Dulcie and Nathan. We eloped in Italy with just the two of us, and from the very beginning Dulcie went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.

She helped us choose the perfect hotel, sorted out advice on flights, and took care of every little detail, from the beautiful flowers to even arranging an ice cream for us on the day. Just because our wedding was small, she never once cut corners. Every part of the day felt just as special, thoughtful, and beautifully planned as a large wedding.

Nathan, our photographer, was absolutely amazing. He made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, which was perfect because neither of us is naturally confident in front of the camera. He captured every moment so naturally, and we genuinely enjoyed every second.

Dulcie and Nathan are such lovely, kind, and caring people. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and are passionate about creating the most incredible weddings for every couple, no matter the size. They are both absolutely made for this job, and we feel so lucky they were part of our special day.

Thank you both for giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.

Everything we dreamed of and more!

We honestly can’t recommend Dulcie enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and just seemed to completely understand what we were looking for. She helped us find our absolute dream venue, and when it came to the wedding day itself… it genuinely felt like she had climbed inside my head and seen exactly what I (I mean, WE 😂) had imagined, then somehow brought it all to life!

Every single detail was perfect. From our amazing make-up artist to the table décor, flower arrangements and all the little touches in between, everything was exactly what we wanted and somehow even better than we could have imagined.

Having Dulcie there throughout the day was an absolute godsend. We didn’t have to think about timings, logistics or whether everything was going to plan, we could completely switch off, relax and just enjoy every second of our wedding day. Knowing she had everything under control took away so much of the stress, and that alone was priceless.

Nathan, our photographer, was absolutely brilliant too. He was so laid-back and made us feel completely comfortable from the start. Within just a few days we had a huge selection of beautifully edited photos, followed not long after by our full album and we LOVE them. The photos are so candid and natural and capture the feeling of the day perfectly. Looking through them genuinely takes us straight back.

Etienne, our content creator, was like a silent ninja! Half the time we were barely aware he was there, which meant everything he captured felt completely natural and unforced. Watching the clips back is almost like being a fly on the wall at our own wedding and getting to experience all those little moments again.

We honestly couldn’t have done any of it without Dulcie. She took what we had imagined for our wedding and turned it into something even more magical than we could have hoped for. We were able to simply be present, enjoy ourselves and soak up every moment, knowing everything else was taken care of.

We will be forever grateful to Dulcie, Nathan and Etienne for making our special day so unbelievably perfect. If you’re considering working with Dulcie, do it! We would recommend her in a heartbeat. ❤️

Perfect Wedding

We are endlessly grateful to Dulcie and her husband, Nathan, for creating the Lake Garda wedding we had always dreamed of. Planning a destination wedding from the UK could have felt overwhelming, but Dulcie made every step feel effortless. She took the time to genuinely get to know us, who we are, what we love, and how we wanted the day to feel, and then brought it all together with such care, creativity, and precision that the result felt completely and authentically “us.”

Every detail was thoughtfully curated, every moment flowed beautifully, and the entire day felt seamless. Nathan’s photography captured the emotion, atmosphere, and joy perfectly; looking back at the photos feels like reliving the day all over again.

Their teamwork is exceptional, their passion is obvious, and their kindness made the whole experience even more special. We truly feel like we’ve gained friends for life. We could not recommend them highly enough to anyone considering a destination wedding, they are outstanding at what they do.

Amazing Lake Garda Wedding!

We honestly can’t recommend Dulcie and Nathan enough. Getting married in Lake Garda could have been stressful, but Dulcie made the whole thing feel so easy from start to finish. She had everything under control, kept us calm, and made sure the day ran perfectly so we could just enjoy it.

Nathan was brilliant as our photographer too. He made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. The photos are incredible and something we’ll treasure forever.

They’re such a great team and genuinely lovely people. We’re so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so special!

Five stars 🌟 🤍

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. From our very first conversation through to our wedding day, Dulcie made the entire journey completely stress-free and enjoyable. Her communication was exceptional throughout – she was always incredibly responsive, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

On the day itself, she was absolutely amazing. Every detail was taken care of seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Her dedication, organisation, and genuine care made such a difference, and we felt completely supported from start to finish.

A special mention also goes to Dulcie’s husband, Nathan, who was our photographer. He was fantastic to work with – professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We are absolutely delighted with the memories he has captured so far and cannot wait to see all the photos!

If you’re planning a wedding in Lake Garda, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They made our dream wedding a reality, and we will be forever grateful 🤍

Would highly recommend!!!!

During our first telephone conversation I knew Dulcie would be the wedding planner for us, her knowledge and bubbly personality set her apart from the others, and we knew we were in safe hands. Throughout the process Dulcie was always available and did loads of research to ensure we found the perfect places for our big day. I cannot thank Dulcie enough for all of her efforts and the day was absolutely perfect, the attention to detail, flowers, table decorations was just as we wished but seeing it all together was even better. Nathan was also our photographer for the day and we couldn’t have asked for better, he captured the raw moments and made us feel so relaxed and at ease. Dulcie & Nathan are an absolute dream team and we cannot recommend them enough, they listened to what we wanted and nothing was too much to ask. I doubt you would get this level of care and personal touch from anywhere else. Thank you again from Mr & Mrs Thrower!

Thank you Dulcie for an amazing wedding!

From the minute we met Dulcie & Nathan we knew we came across 2 amazing people! Super professional, easy to chat to, and clearly really passionate about what they do. And the best part- they’ve become two special friends to us.

We were blown away by Dulcie dedication to making our day the best day of our lives.

From the very first conversation, she put us at ease with her calm, friendly approach and incredible attention to detail. She couldn’t do enough for us and always went above and beyond.

She thought of things we never would have and made planning feel effortless. Her communication was great – always quick to reply, super organised, and so reassuring throughout.

On the day itself, she was a superstar…everything ran smoothly, and we were able to just relax and enjoy every moment, knowing she had it all in hand. She brings so much good and happy energy wherever she goes, and having her at our wedding was just like having our best friend committed to making sure we had the best day. Everyone loved her!

Nathan was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but he made us feel completely at ease.

He captured everything so naturally, and we love how the photos feel real and full of emotion, not posed or staged. He just has a way of spotting those little moments you want to remember forever.

And the video… wow. It’s just beautiful. It captured the emotion and energy of the day so perfectly! Bring tears to my eyes every time we watch it!

We can’t thank them enough for making our big day the most amazing day of our lives… we will remember it forever.

Thank you Dulcie & Nathan!

Dream wedding

We met with Dulcie and Nathan and knew straight away they understood our needs. They have become friends and they really delivered on an excellent wedding. The locations and suggestions that Dulcie made throughout made it so easy and stress free that we kept thinking we had more to do then we actually did. She took care of everything and when we asked questions, she knew the answers. Nathan was great on the day and the photos are amazing! They even helped with hotels and booking restaurants before the wedding to make the whole week run smoothly. Great business and great people

Highly recommend

We had the most amazing wedding in Malcesine, Lake Garda in May 2025.
We’d asked for a relaxed, rustic wedding and Dulcie really hit the mark, incorporating everything we had asked for. Dulcie had planned every little detail perfectly! The decor of the castle, and our venue was beautiful and even better than anticipated! Dulcie and Nathan even surprised us with a beautiful sign and place mats which fit perfectly with our theme. The bouquets and buttonholes / flowers were fantastic- everything we’d asked for and they smelt amazing.
Dulcie and Nathan were with us all day from 9am to gone 10pm! Dulcie was very attentive throughout the day, knowing when to bring over some water for me or our dog!!
Nathan made us feel very at ease with having our photos taken (something we were a little anxious about), and he captured the day perfectly!
We really liked the fact that Dulcie and Nathan involved a lot of friends from Malcesine in the planning, which made it feel much more personal, and made our dream wedding car a possibility!
Having Dulcie based both in the UK and Malcesine, and having regular meetings/ updates, and Dulcie always being available to answer questions took a lot of the stress away- we couldn’t have planned such an amazing day without her! 100% recommend.

The most thoughtful and kind wedding planner you could ask for

We couldn’t have asked for anything more from Dulcie and her husband Nathan for our wedding. Our day was perfect.
Planning a wedding isn’t easy and planning a wedding abroad where you don’t know the language is even harder.
Dulcie guided us through every step and listened to what we wanted and made sure our day matched our vision.
We are so grateful to have had Dulcie to plan our wedding and Nathan to capture the whole day. They truly made getting married abroad a breeze and we couldn’t be happier with how it all went.
Thank you so much for helping us with one of the most important days of our lives!

The most beautiful wedding flowers!

Dulcie’s flowers brought our entire wedding vision together - they were perfect, colourful, and beautiful. We’ve had so many compliments on them and we’re just so happy with Dulcie and everything she did for our special day.

Right from the very first meeting, Dulcie was so enthusiastic, friendly and generally just lovely. She listened to everything we wanted and brought it to life for us. Her communication was great and she’s so creative, and really just understands all the stresses that come with weddings and helps eliminate as much of that as possible.

She went above and beyond her role as florist for the day too, by stepping in to help us to get our wedding outdoors (our original plan) which was our dream for the day. That wouldn’t have happened without Dulcie and we’re so grateful for everything she did. Thank you, Dulcie!

If you’re looking for a florist or wedding planner for your big day, Dulcie is your gal!

Highly recommend Weddings by Dulcie Butterfly ⭐️

We recently celebrated our wedding in Malcesine, Lake Garda, in May 2024, and we couldn't have done it without our amazing wedding planner, Dulcie.
Living in Newcastle, England, we knew we needed help to handle all the details and to make our day perfect. Dulcie went above and beyond, making everything smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
From our first contact with Dulcie, we knew we were in good hands. Her knowledge of local vendors and venues was a game-changer, helping us choose the perfect location and services we wanted. She also took care of all the communications with Italian suppliers.
Dulcies husband, Nathan, captured the day flawlessly as our photographer. Nathan's understanding of our preferences resulted in photos that perfectly captured the essence of the celebration, exceeding our expectations in every way.
Dulcie organised every detail of our wedding, from the stunning ceremony at the Castle of Malcesine to the reception dinner at Lido Sopri. Our 44 guests were impressed with how well everything was executed and the special touches that made the day so special.
Throughout the planning, Dulcie was always available to answer questions and provide updates, putting us at ease despite the distance. Her warm and professional approach made her a joy to work with, and we felt completely supported the whole way through.
Dulcie made our dream of an Italian wedding come true. We highly recommend her to any couple planning a destination wedding. She turned what could have been a stressful task into a magical and memorable celebration for us and our guests.
