Brilliant Guest Management and a Fantastic Atmosphere

We first met them last year as guests at our friend Corinne’s wedding. She’s Italian like me, while her partner is from London.
What can we say… thank you twice over! We had such a wonderful time.
The guest management was impeccable, thanks to Carlotta’s constant presence, always kind, patient and incredibly helpful, even with countless last-minute changes.
Truly outstanding. Highly recommended.

Grateful We Found Elite Events for Our Big Day

Choosing the right partner for your wedding is never easy, especially when you’re celebrating far from home, as we did in beautiful Tuscany.
We were married on 11 July 2025, and choosing Elite Events was truly one of the best decisions we made.

We actually discovered them through their Italian website, as they weren’t on Hitched yet, and from the very beginning they proved to be incredibly professional, reliable, and completely up to the task.

Carlotta took care of the planning with flawless organisation, coordinating everything months in advance and supporting us throughout the entire reception with calm, grace, and precision.

The music and entertainment were exceptional. We chose a full-day format with a DJ, percussionist, singer, and saxophonist, and it created the most amazing atmosphere from start to finish.

We are deeply grateful to Elite Events for bringing our destination wedding to life in such an outstanding way, and for being such empathetic, sincere, and genuinely caring people throughout the entire journey.

A Truly Special Italian Wedding with Elite Events

We are genuinely happy to write this review for Giuliano and the Elite Events team, they truly deserve it. Even more than a year later, the memory of our wedding is still incredibly vivid, especially the Ceremony, made even more meaningful thanks to the beautiful live performance by Jasmine and Enzo.

The organisation was impeccable from start to finish. The team was always present, kind, and ready with thoughtful advice and practical solutions. We had guests from many different parts of the world, and every request, even the most particular, was handled with great care.

During the reception, DJ Marco created the perfect atmosphere, keeping the celebration lively and fun for everyone.

If your dream is to get married in Italy, we highly recommend contacting them. You will receive the same level of care and collaboration that we did. For us, everything felt natural, sincere, and effortless from the very beginning.

Thank you again for your precious support.

A Perfect Italian Wedding Planned by Elite Events

We discovered Elite Events through a dear Italian friend who lives in Bellagio and highly recommended them for our wedding in Italy, as they are very well known in the Lake Como area. From our very first contact with Angela, we immediately felt that everything would run smoothly. Later, we met Fabrizio and worked closely with him on every detail of the day.

In the end, all our guests had an amazing time and absolutely loved the music played by DJ Andrea. The saxophonist was fantastic as well!

Thank you to everyone for your wonderful support and for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.
