  We have nothing but good things to say about Carolina and A Taste of Beauty and would recommend her to any couple planning their wedding. Her care, attention to detail, eye for beauty and professionalism all came together to make our wedding unforgettable. She helped us prioritise and always kept us well informed of different options available to us. She is very organised and excellent at keeping up communication even in her busiest periods. On the day itself, Carolina and her team ran things will military precision even when the weather started to cause problems - I will forever be grateful for Carolina for her reassurance and unflappability especially in those most stressful moments. Our wedding in Lake Como was a dream and it wouldn’t have been the same without A Taste of Beauty.

  We booked Carolina in to plan our wedding at the beginning of the pandemic when times ahead were already uncertain. Throughout the entire wedding process from our first video call right though until the day of the wedding Carolina was more than accommodating. She really listened to what we wanted for the day and gave careful advice on many of our requests and often crazy ideas. Carolina would reply to my regular 3 O'Clock in the morning thoughts with ease and reassurance. We had the task of organising multiple family members from England, Ireland and America and once again this was smooth. Many of our suppliers were excellent and were exactly to our standards especially surrounding food and drink. The week before our wedding we were faced with the pending and resulting death of an immediate family member where Carolina made plan A-Z to support us in so many ways. We had the most exceptional day and couldn't have done it without her amazing attention to detail, professionalism and listening ear.

  We cannot thank Carolina enough for going above and beyond to make our wedding the most memorable and beautiful day that we could have only dreamed of without her help. From start to finish no detail was left undone and we truly felt in very safe hands planning our wedding in Italy. Carolina was so knowledgable and gave such good advice in all aspects of our day and ensured that everything ran like clockwork on the day - we could not have done it without her and I will miss her great sense of humour during our phone calls and always making me feel reassured and completely relaxed with everything that goes into planning a wedding abroad. Thank you Carolina you truly are amazing at what you do and we could not recommend Carolina and A Taste of Beauty enough!

  My (newly wed) wife and I asked Carolina to help with our wedding earlier this year in Bologna. Carolina was nothing short of superb - from start to finish - navigating a wedding in Italy without Carolina would have been problematic to say the least; she was able to help us navigate the red tape, legalities and add her very personal touch to every aspect of our special day. We'd initially planned on marrying in 2021 but choose to defer by a year, Carolina quickly communicated this to all suppliers and within a week, we'd secured our venue/suppliers without any headache - this alone was enough to cement the wise decision in working with Carolina. If you're looking to get married in Italy, do not hesitate to contact Carolina. Carolina is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Italian weddings. Carolina managed every aspect of our wedding other than what we wore; that being said, is also incredibly light-touch too - when we asked for time to think things through she understood and stepped back, conversely when we couldn't decide and asked her to make a decision for us, she was resolute in doing so. I say without hesitation that Carolina was key in helping us create memories that will last forever.

  The best choice we made for this wedding preparation was choosing Carolina Piazzi's "A Taste Of Beauty" to plan our wedding. The take home message is that your wedding will be planned to perfection if you choose Carolina to help you. Trust us when we say this choice will pay for itself a hundred-fold. It is the right choice; the only choice. We picked Carolina on the back of excellent online reviews to help us plan a wedding in Italy. She consulted us, understanding our preferences, our dislikes, our culture, and our budget. She took a lot into account, and did so extremely professionally. We narrowed down venues based on taste and on advice from Carolina, then visited Italy to view the shortlist, coming out with a winner. Everything was very easy. The process of planning our initial wedding in Italy was well over half a year and never felt rushed. COVID then changed everything, and we quickly had to plan a wedding in our home country UK within the space of 6 weeks. Carolina was able to do 2 things simultaneously: defend us and get the majority of our money back from vendors abroad when it was appropriate to do so, and then help us organise vendors here in the UK - in 6 WEEKS. I will never on paper fully explain the technical difficulties and obstacles she faced, but suffice it so say that we would have had a very, very mediocre wedding without her. With her, we had a slice of Italy in the UK. Her taste is impeccable and her ability to deal with vendors and keep to time is fantastic. Choose 'A Taste Of Beauty' and work with Carolina. It will be the best decision you make in planning your wedding. Photographer: @jessypapasavvaphoto Florist: @beaconbloom Cake: @designercakesbyelle

  My partner and I decided to get married in Tuscany as we had dreams of a fairytale wedding in the Tuscan countryside. Carolina made this dream a reality for us and worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding went ahead without any issues. From day one, Carolina won us over as our wedding planner of choice as she listened to our desires with meticulous levels of detail and really understood our vision for our special day. The entire process of planning a destination wedding during Covid was a breeze, with Carolina's exceptional organisational skills keeping us on track with key milestones. We were provided with multiple options for every aspect and she provided us with great levels of support and detail to make our final choice on venue, caterers and entertainment remotely. Getting married during a global pandemic was never going to be straightforward but Carolina navigated us through the highs and lows (including rearranging the date of our wedding at the last minute to cater for quarantine requirements) and the day went ahead without any hiccups. Our wedding day was more beautiful than I could imagine. Carolina really focuses on the finer details (which you can see in the pictures) and everything from table settings, flowers through to the choice of caterers and organising everyone was perfect. We couldn't be more grateful to have found Carolina and more ecstatic about how perfect our wedding day was. Thank you so much Carolina for making our dreams a reality!

  We got marrried in Puglia at the end of September 2019 and Carolina helped us create the most amazing day. Carolina mapped out everything that we would need to make decisions on, from the venue, to flowers and seating arrangements. Carolina worked tirelessly to find the right suppliers for us, who would provide the best quality service. She worked extremely closely with our venue to ensure every element of our wedding would run smoothly. Her effortless style and attention to detail is brilliant and that shone through on the day. We could not have asked for more!

  When my partner and I decided to have our dream wedding in Bologna, Italy we begun by trying to find out the type of ceremony we could have as Church of England Christians (Christened but not religious) As Italy is run by the Catholic Church this was harder than we thought. We then tried to find a venue we could be married at, again not so easy, we could only legally marry in Bologna’s beautiful Town-hall or a venue in another town by the Major. After much research we felt we needed some help and guidance. We spoke with five wedding planners in total, Carolina was the last and only choice for us. She explained all the legalities so clearly and had a wonderful range of venues to choose (legal and symbolic) Her percentage fee worked for us and her services were worth every penny. Most importantly, we simply wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without her. Carolina had advised us to visit Bologna before we picked a venue. Stupidly we didn’t and paid a deposit for a beautiful venue we had seen in photos. When on a rainy day in November we finally visited the venue we didn’t feel it was where we had imagined the wedding. On a Saturday morning I messaged Carolina with my concerns and within two hours she had organised for us to visit another venue the following day!! This was incredibly stressful day but Carolina sorted it out efficiently and calmly which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding! Venue of dreams sorted, she then gave us three quotation for catering, this was an easy choice because all the menus sounded delicious. We went with the mid range costing menu, since the wedding the food and venue are the highlights with our guests constantly going on about how the food was so delicious! Carolina works with a spectacular florist, again good value and most importantly we were delighted with the flower arrangements especially my bouquet. Like the catering we were given three quotations for the photographer. All similar prices so it was a case of picking our favourite style. Really happy with the outcome, they captured the day beautifully. A couple of months before the wedding we decided to get a videographer and again Carolina sorted this our immaculately. We had some special requests: Parmesan wheel, craft beers, extra material to decorate marquee, lighting, dance floor and an opera singer that Carolina arranged wonderfully. On the day Carolina was there to orchestrate all the moving parts which meant my husband and I could enjoy the day without any worries. The only glitch we had was the very lengthy speeches (not in Carolina's control) which could of ruined the food but somehow this was completely unaffected by her amazing organisational skills. Only negative which is also a positive we wished the wedding could have been longer as everyone was having such a fabulous time. Best wedding EVER and we couldn’t have done it with Carolina, she is a super star wedding planner!!!
