Leonora Forte Destination Weddings

If you’re looking for a wedding planner, look no further! We would give Leonora 10 stars if we could. From our first FaceTime meeting we knew that we’d found the perfect person to make our wedding dreams come true. We went through the rollercoaster of Covid together (so she actually planned our wedding three times at 2 different venues!) and her unwavering positivity, kindness and sense of humour not only kept our spirits up but gave us a wedding that far surpassed anything that we could have dreamed of. All of the suppliers that she used were incredible and she always found a way to deliver what we wanted whilst keeping to our budget. We formed a lovely bond with Leonora over the extended planning period and she treated us like old friends. We couldn’t have done it without her and all of our guests are still raving about one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to. Thank you, we will always feel incredibly lucky that we found you. Much love, The Quinns

Leonora went above and beyond in every possible way and made our wedding day an absolute dream. She and her team exceeded all of our expectations with their organization, communication, and attention to detail. When the weather took an unexpected turn just days before the wedding, she jumped in immediately, handled everything calmly, and helped us find solutions without any stress. We truly could not have done this without her. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, incredibly organized, and genuinely cares, we cannot recommend her enough—she is amazing!

Leonora was truly the heart behind our entire wedding experience. From the first conversation, she completely understood my vision and somehow managed to make it even more beautiful than I ever pictured. She was always available, endlessly patient, and consistently went above and beyond — no detail was ever too small or request too big. Planning a destination wedding in Italy from the U.S. could have been overwhelming, but Leonora made every step feel effortless. She worked seamlessly with the venue and all of our vendors, and every supplier she brought on board was exceptional. She always found creative ways to make things work within our budget without ever compromising on quality or style. Over time, Leonora became so much more than a planner — she felt like a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Thanks to her, everything came together flawlessly, and our guests are still talking about how unforgettable it was. We feel so lucky to have found Leonora and will forever be grateful for the magic she created.

From our first meeting, Leonora made us feel comfortable. I was nervous about some logistics of the day, but she always had ideas and solutions that worked so well. She always listened to our requests and gave us honest, helpful feedback. Everything she recommended - from vendors to the flow of events - was spot on, and honestly, everything exceeded our expectations. She truly helped our wedding embrace and showcase the magic of Tuscany. Our day itself flowed so smoothly - multiple guests commented on how seamless it was and how much attention to detail was put into everything. Leonora and her team really took care of us and we’ll remember this special day forever. We would highly recommend Leonora and couldn’t have chosen a better wedding planner!

Leonora brought to life our hope to have a beautiful, rustic and joyous celebration in Umbria, Italy. Not only did she go above and beyond the asks of the job, but also her attention to detail and calm nature allowed us to truly enjoy the time with our family & friends. The local vendors (especially the caterer, band, DJ and florist) she recommended were unbelievable and mirrored Leonora's commitment to quality. Leonora is also the reason we opted to host our wedding at a location which had a lot of meaning to us but that we assumed would be too logistically complicated. In the end, we had the most wonderful day (and weekend) of our lives and we could not be more grateful to Leonora for all she did to make that happen.

If you're planning your Italian wedding then you need Leonora. After having to postpone numerous times due to covid nothing was too much trouble for Leonora, and everything was sorted with positivity and a smile. We wanted a specific style of band for our wedding day and Leonora found them busking and managed to get them to our wedding! Who does that!? She even managed to get us a totally vegan but still traditionally Italian wedding meal. Leonora's warmth and positivity will really take all the stress from your day and all the planning leading up to it. She really is one in a million. We can't thank you enough X

We are thankful for Leonora’s guidance and expertise in planning our wedding in Umbria. Leveraging her experience, she is able to offer reliable suggestions and solutions for any challenges we encountered. She was professional and kind and we would recommend her for other couples who may be planning a destination wedding in the region!
