Allie & Kris, married on June 11th, 2024Oh my if there was an option to give Fran 10 stars I would!
When you talk to other couples about their wedding day, there is always a zany story of something going wrong. Brides are told to expect something to go wrong on their wedding day. Not with Fran as a wedding planner! Fran made our wedding day perfect, effortless, and magical! Her thoughtfulness and organization of the whole day allowed us to be completely present and feel like the guests of honor. Throughout the day she checked in and provided solutions to everything and anything, while also being a fly on the wall. We are from Arizona in the United States. Even through a 9 hour time difference and planning a wedding in another country with foreign laws and language, Fran was incredibly knowledgeable and kept great communication with us via email, WhatsApp, and Zoom calls. She had excellent vendor recommendations and budget tracking that was perfectly catered to our desires. We were even able to tour venues, taste catering, do a hair and makeup trial, and even an engagement photo shoot thanks to her. We got to know Fran well enough during the planning process that we chose her to officiate our wedding as well. She created the most beautifully poetic and personal ceremony for us. Not a dry eye was insight and is something we will cherish deeply.
Sarah & Patrick, married on Aug. 16th, 2023We loved her !
Fran, we can’t thank her enough for being apart of our special elopmment in Italy. We are from Australia and planned our wedding in less then 2 weeks. Fran was so amazing through email she showed a lot of care about personalising our vowels and on the day of the wedding when she walked into the room it was like a friend arrived.
She was so lovely and went above and beyond on what we thought her role was on the day . She was like having a friend with us , she helped look after our 2 year old son all day. She even played with him on a playground which aloud us to take some photos in peace.
She ran the entire day made sure it went smoothly attended to any needs and stayed with us all day… she is a special lady and if you choose her to marry you youv made a great choice !
We loved her !
Thank you Fran
Carla & James, married on Dec. 14th, 2023Thank you for everything!
We recently wed at the town hall of Florence in a simple civil ceremony. I always wanted it to be a non fussy affair but did have quite a specific idea for some of the details that were to be involved.
Fran really understood the brief from our very first discussion! I sent so many visual boards with what I was after, and she always came back with vendors who could fulfil my wishes and at a reasonable fee as well.
Fran commented that she doesn’t often do civil ceremonies due to the administrative process and extra paperwork – it is a lot! However she expertly guided us through the process of what we needed to do within Australia and also once in Italy. This is something I couldn’t have done without her assistance. In addition to the planning, Fran translated and officiated our ceremony. Her warm demeanour felt like we had been friends for many years.
My guests, while few, keep commenting on how lovely the event was. Memorable and unique to our relationship. Something they will look back on so fondly. As we will.
Grazie mille, Fran.

Gioia & Lorenzo, married on May 25th, 2024It was an unforgettable day!
Francesca was instrumental in planning a perfect and beautiful wedding for us in the center of Florence. From organizing the time schedule so that everything was prepared well before hand, to her great portfolio of suppliers, our wedding was as we dreamed it down to the very last detail.
We especially appreciated her attentiveness and patience with our various requests in order to realize our vision as well as her ability to promptly deal with all of the suppliers in our stead.
Julia & Stefan, married on May 18th, 2024We had an amazing wedding.
Everything went perfect. We are still speechless, thank you!
Ciara & Noel, married on May 7th, 2024Francesca was not just our wedding officiant.
She was my go-to getting ready gal during my elopement, she was our day-of coordinator and she quickly felt like family. Francesca is warm, kind and caring and goes above and beyond to ensure an exceptional experience. Our day would not have been the same without her and we’re forever grateful!
Francesca & Simon, married on Aug. 5th, 2022Fran, die richtige Person!
Am grossen Tag muss bekanntlich alles passen. So hatten wir jenen bis ins kleinste Detail geplant. Da wir in Süditalien heirateten, jedoch in der Schweiz wohnen, war die Planung nicht immer einfach. Als wir nach einer geeigneten Traurednerin suchten, stiessen wir via Google auf die Kontaktdaten von Fran.
Uns war wichtig, dass die Traurednerin die Zeremonie zweisprachig abhalten konnte. Nachdem wir einen kurzen E-Mail-Austausch und einen darauffolgenden FaceTime-Call hatten, war uns schnell klar, dass Fran die richtige Person dafür ist. Vom ersten Moment an überzeugte uns Fran auf der ganzen Linie. Das Gefühl wurde uns am Tag der Hochzeit bestätigt. Wir möchten Fran für die lieben Worte und die wundervolle Rede von Herzen danken!
Sabrina & Ettore, married on Sept. 15th, 2022Danke auch von unseren Gaesten!
Dass wir die Trauung unserer Träume verwirklichen konnten, verdanken wir zu einem großen Teil Francesca. Wir suchten nach einer ganz besonderen Traurednerin: Eine, die nicht nur zweisprachig, sondern auch in der Lage ist, eine einzigartige, emotionale und doch humorvolle Atmosphäre zu schaffen.
Das und noch viel mehr ist ihr absolut gelungen. Wir ahnten von Anfang an, dass Francesca diese besondere Traurednerin ist. Selbst über Zoom konnte Francesca mitten in der Pandemie genau verstehen, was wir wollten, uns mit ihrer Erfahrung unterstützen und uns mit ihrer lockeren und freundlichen Persönlichkeit überzeugen. In einem unkomplizierten Prozess haben wir mit ihr die perfekte Zeremonie geplant, voll mit persönlichen Details, viel Wärme und Liebe.
Am Tag unserer Hochzeit eroberte Francesca im Handumdrehen Köpfe und Herzen, und führte uns durch wunderschöne, lustige, unvergessliche Zeremonie. Wir hätten uns keine bessere Traurednerin wünschen können. Unsere Gäste fanden es auch ganz wundervoll, sie haben uns sehr viele Komplimente gemacht, die wir hiermit gerne an dich weiterleiten.
Danke, von ganzem Herzen!
Tamara & John, married on October 6th, 2022Not just a wedding with Fran!
We recently had our dream wedding/elopement in Italy and it was the most magical experience thanks to the beautiful help we had from our wedding planner Fran. Trying to plan an Italian wedding from Southern California is no easy task, but thanks to Fran we did not have to worry about a single detail other than showing up and enjoying the beautiful experience.
Her organization skills, attention to detail and passion for her work is beyond anything I have ever seen. In addition, she served as our officiant for the ceremony and the level of attention, customization, and love she put into every little word and detail made it beyond special.
If you want to truly create an experience (not just a wedding), then Fran is the person to use. She is truly one of a kind and we are so very thankful to have found her!
Karen & Raymund, married on Oct. 15th, 2022Our memories coordinated by the perfect wedding planner!
We are from California and planned the whole wedding without being able to physically see anything. Fran made us feel comfortable and confident that she would help us make our special day as we dreamed it would be. We could not have been happier. Our day was more perfect than we could have imagined. All details were perfect.
The recommended caterer was amazing. The DJ was also spot on. We had the wedding of our dreams and have the best memories. Fran was attentive and personal, I felt like I was giggling with a friend I’ve known forever. Our memories will always be of this fairytale wedding filled with love and emotion; coordinated by the perfect wedding planner.
Thank you Fran
Emanuel & Giulia, married on Sept. 17th 2022Multilingual ceremony
We asked Fran to speak at our wedding which had to be held in three languages Italian, German and English due to our multinational guests. Fran was very helpful from the start and did an amazing job, as she managed to bridge the three languages perfectly and kept all of our guests entertained throughout the wedding ceremony.
She’s a very helpful and sweet person and so very kind, and assisted us every step of the way! We would highly recommend her for weddings especially those which include more than one language.
Rory & Eleanor, married on Sept. 24th 2022Blessed is the rain!
Our wedding plans changed last minute due to torrential rain but Fran helped us get as close to our vision as possible and was amazing on the big day itself. We couldn’t have done it without her!
Despite the storms we had the best day of our lives.
Thank you so much Fran!
Johanna & Georg, married on July 6th 2022Unsere Zeremonie am Iseosee
Fran is a wonderful, energetic speaker and created an awesome storyline and speech for our symbolic ceremony. The perfect ratio between fun parts, romantic items and our personal contributions left us with a wonderful memory of the ceremony! Her perfect German with a lovely Italian accent was easy to follow for all guests.
Highly recommended!!
Eliana & Trey, married on Sept. 14th 2022Bella Fran!
Thank you for the beautiful ceremony you created for us. It was a day of love. Your grace and poise equaled the loving thoughtful ceremony you created. We are so thankful and grateful. The tone you set flowed through the day. Our renewal of vows was so perfect thanks to you!
From the bottom of our hearts thank you,
Trey and Eliana
Felix & Ann-Kathrin, married on Aug. 3d 2022Hochzeit am Lago Maggiore
Wir sind mittlerweile wieder in Deutschland und hatten viel Zeit, um uns an die Hochzeit zu erinnern. Wir sind wirklich glücklich, wie der Tag gelaufen ist.
Wir möchten uns bei dir nochmal von Herzen für die wirklich tolle Trauung bedanken. Wir fanden dich wundervoll authentisch und auch die Gäste haben uns zurückgemeldet, wie toll sie dich und die Rede fanden.
We booked Fran at short notice as a wedding speaker for our free wedding in Italy. The first contact via video conference was very heartfelt and it quickly became clear to us that Fran was the right person. Fran moderated the wedding very nicely and spoke great. Her speech was authentic and heartfelt – the guests and we were thrilled.
Thank you, Fran
Elena & Andy, married on June 5th 2022German-Italian Ceremony
Fran é stata fin dall’inizio molto gentile e flessibile nonostante alcuni cambiamenti fatti! La cerimonia é stata bella e ci ricorderemo per sempre questo bel momento!
David & Keaton, married on Sept. 7th 2022We love you, Fran!
We are the luckiest couple in the world to have been able to work with Fran while planning the most perfect wedding week in Tuscany. Living in New York, Fran assisted us with everything from our venue selection to every vendor we used throughout the week.
Not only did she make our wedding day the most memorable for us and our guests, but she assisted with an entire week of activities – going above and beyond what we had originally planned. Whenever a conflict or stressful situation arose, Fran was able to find an even better solution and was so calm and reassuring.
On our wedding day, we were battling some rain showers, and she was able to work with all of the vendors so that we could still have our events outside, just as we had dreamt. Looking back, there is not one thing I would have changed and that is because of the effort, passion and dedication Fran had when planning every detail.
Mhairi & Andrew, married on July 10th 2022A special, moving ceremony
Hi Framille, thank you for our beautiful blessing at Villa La Massa. It was such a special, moving ceremony and we will treasure that moment and day for the rest of our lives. I’m so glad you were a part of it. It was wonderful to meet you and thank you so much again for a lifetime memory.
Amanda & Haris, married on June 1st 2022Francesca is one of a kind!
Where to begin! After speaking and emailing with many wedding planners, I was fortunate enough to find Framile. My fiancé and I had a dream to elope in Tuscany, but we only had one month to plan. Every planner we spoke to was overwhelmed with the task of putting a wedding together on such short notice. Fran was the complete opposite!
From our first correspondence, she was eager, excited, and passionate right from the start. Fran started to put amazing ideas together, ones I never thought possible. Any suggestion or desire I had, she perfectly matched or superseded what I hoped for! On the day of the wedding, it felt like a dream that Fran made into reality.
Everything flowed together perfectly. Fran was by my side the entire day and coordinated every single moment. We had the most unforgettable experience that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Beyond planning our perfect wedding, Fran is also an amazing person who is genuine, full of life, creative, thoughtful, and humble, even though she has so many talents!
Not only will she be planning our vow renewals, but she is also someone I now consider a dear friend. If you are trying to find a wedding planner, look no further! Fran is everything you could hope for and more. You will have a perfect experience with the most amazing person by your side.
Allora!
Natalie & Will, married on May 28th 2022Afternoon Fran!
I’ve finally found a free moment where I can reflect on the weekend and all of the hard work you and the team put in to make our special day so special!
Thank you so very much for being so understanding, so on-the-ball and so forgiving after all this time! It took a lot for us to get our Tuscan dream wedding over the line over the past three years and you have been an absolute rock and a huge help to us, especially when things were tough at the beginning of this year.
Thank you for all of your help and to the team at Fonte, your assistant and all of our wonderful suppliers. Whilst we couldn’t control the weather(!), you managed to control everything else perfectly and I’ve had so many wonderful comments about our dinner inside of the dance hall. I think it was a perfect ‘Plan B’
In a weird way, I will miss our late night panicky emails but I am delighted that we finally managed to see out our dream and that I can now move forward and concentrate on my young family. Wishing you a wonderful wedding season and an enjoyable summer with your own family.
Thank you again, for everything
❤️
I will look out for you on Instagram and wish you all the very best.Love, Natalie xxx
Patricia & Juan, married on Oct. 18th 2018Fran delivered!
Fran is an absolute angel! So our scenario was this is a destination wedding in Siena, Italy and the bride has never been to Europe (groom, yes). We had over a year to plan the event, but we were working hard to have sufficient funds for the trip and the event and so never had time to see/taste/listen to any of the choices she gave us for pretty much anything we needed to decide on.
We placed our faith in her giving us options to decide from that were reputable and worthwhile. She sensed our needs and also our hesitations, so she made suggestions and presented them in a manner where she exhausted all other means and explained why we would do it this way instead of the other without being pushy either.
In the end, we received rave reviews about catering, the women loved the floral arrangements, all the guests really loved the folk trio that serenaded us all day, our cake, AND WE REALLY HAD OUR FAIRYTALE WEDDING! within reasonable allocated funds!
Simone & Ian, married on June 1st 2019Francesca ist das Beste was uns passieren konnte.
Unsere Hochzeit ist nun einen Monat her und wir hatten unsere perfekte Traumhochzeit in Florenz und Francesca hat sogar unsere Vorstellungen übertroffen. Von Anfang an war Francesca sehr zuverlässig, sie antwortet sehr schnell und hat unsere Wünsche aufgenommen und uns wunderschöne Vorschläge für Locations unterbreitet.
Francesca ist super sympathisch, bestens organisiert und geht auf alle Anforderungen perfekt ein. Sie ist bestens vernetzt mit verlässlichen und professionellen Zulieferern, die alles möglich machen. Sie hat wirklich an alles gedacht und hat sich für jeden Wunsch eingesetzt und für sich einen Mehraufwand in Kauf genommen.
Sie hat das Budget kontrolliert und mit dem Action Plan uns durch das gesamte Hochzeitsjahr geführt. Unsere Gäste waren mega begeistert und es war für alle ein Erlebnis. Francesca ist wirklich ein Engel und mit dem Herzen dabei und wir würden alles genauso wieder machen.
Anna Brigid & Harrison, married on Sept. 30th 2021Our dreams came true!
Fran was always responsive, knew instantly what type of venue and vision we had for our wedding and found us the perfect place that was organic in nature, historic and beautiful. She answered any and all questions (and I had a LOT!) professionally and promptly. I can’t tell you how much joy it brought to see Fran in person when she arrived. She radiates confidence and happiness and I knew we were in good hands for the day.
She orchestrated everything that day and we had the most beautiful Italian wedding. Our vision was accomplished.
Everything was perfect. This whole time Fran was invisibly moving around making everything happen when it was supposed to so that we were working with the setting sun for dinner and photos. It all worked out perfectly.
Jessica & Sebastian, married on Sept. 4th 2021German speaking celebrant with italian charme
Fran was very open and uncomplicated to our proposals. At the wedding she performed as expected and the wedding couple and the audience enjoyed listening to her. We would really recommend her to other couples.
Ilaria & Tommaso, married on July 24th 2022Consigliatissima!
Francesca è una professionista esemplare, precisa, attenta, sempre disponibile ed estremamente preparata. Francesca è molto attenta ai dettagli. Grazie a lei il nostro evento è stato perfetto.
Iliana & Elvis, married on July 22nd 2021Warm-hearted person!
A warm-hearted person… I love her sensitivity and her approach with all my couple! Great English and really professional! Highly recommended.
(her wedding planner)Made our wedding so special! She is kind, warm and really can tell she cares. Wouldn’t have had anyone else – we adore Fran and were really lucky to have her officiate our wedding.
(the Bride)
Laetitia & Hanno, married on July 10th 2021Unforgettable ceremony
We are from Belgium and married in Piemonte so due to Covid we had to do all communications by video chat with Francesca. All expectations were met without any hiccup.
Francesca is a warm, kind, bubbly personality and combined with her professional approach she made our ceremony something really special and unforgettable for us and the guests. We would recommend her to everybody without a doubt, she is just great!
Silvia & Gabriele, married on June 26th 2021La wedding planner
Francesca è “la” wedding planner. Ha organizzato il nostro matrimonio perfettamente. Precisa, puntuale, paziente nell’ascoltare le nostre richieste. I fornitori da lei proposti erano perfetti per le nostre esigenze. Non ha tralasciato nulla.
Tutto è filato liscio e lo dobbiamo a lei e alla sua organizzazione perfetta.
Super consigliata!
Alexandra & Milan, married on Oct. 5th 2020Fighting the tears in my eyes
In a first e-mail we were asked some relatively generic questions, this obviously served to classify us. In the second step, we’ve had a video call with Fran, where we got a first impression of a great woman. We were immediately captivated by her Italian charm and it was immediately clear that someone here does not do a job, someone was called to do it.
Few days later we got a draft for our speech and the found were as fitting as if they had been written by a long-time friend. This kind of empathy is not often encountered. On the day of the days when I was allowed to lead my bride to our beach, our guests and Fran were waiting for us. She held our speech with an angelic voice, involved our companion (a Spanish herding dog) not only with words, but also with gestures, so that he sat down directly with her during the speech.
A woman in love, said Fran and there is no better way to describe her. Our wishes were not fulfilled, they were exceeded. The speech was held in fluent German.
Tailandia & Andrea, married on Aug. 29th 2020Certi lavori si fanno con il cuore
Davvero gentile e disponibile e se pur di breve durata è una di quelle attività che vanno fatte col
cuore. Grazie.
Vanessa & Eric, married on July 11th 2020Eine märchenhafte Hochzeit wurde Realität
Francesca hat uns unsere Traumhochzeit organisiert. Wir haben selten so eine liebevolle und großartige Person kennengelernt. Sie war einfühlsam, verständnisvoll und gab immer 100%. Sie organisierte alles perfekt und mit viel Liebe. Danke!!
Die Location mit dem Ausblick auf Florenz war ein absolutes Highlight. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich. Im Großen und Ganzen waren die 4 Tagein Florenz einfach perfekt. Die Gäste und wir sind immer noch verzaubert.
