Dear Linda,

I hope this email finds you well.

I just wanted to thank you for the amasing job you did organising the wedding, honestly I don't know what I would have done without you! Everything was timed to perfection, the Palazzo was unbelievably beautiful with the flowers and tea lights on the trees and stairways... So many details.
The music, the ceremony, the meal.
All my guests were very happy and, of course, so were we.

I also wanted to ask you if you could please put me in contact with the photographers for the pictures.

All my best,

Susana

Our wedding in the Amalfi Coast was an absolute dream and we will be forever grateful to Linda for making it a reality. We were very pleased with the quality of the suppliers Linda chose, everything was of an extreme good taste, the priest she recommended was lovely and spoke perfect English, making the ceremony very light and friendly. Linda was a planner and a friend all the way through the journey and gave us great guidance in regards to the religious paperwork - which can be quite complicated in Italy. With Linda's support we had nothing to worry about and were able to enjoy our wedding day. We can't praise her enough.

We are back in the Philippines and we are still overwhelmed on how our wedding turned out. We wanted thank you once again for your kind help and support. We have truly made the right decision for having you as our wedding coordinator. You will always be remembered. Our wedding was exactly the same way we dreamed and hoped for. All our guests were very happy and stunned. Everything would not have been possible without your help. We couldn't thank you enough. You made our wedding and vacation hassle and stress free. Thank you for making our special day a truly memorable one. With all our heart, GRAZI!!!

Good luck on your future endeavor and more power!

With love,

Hi Linda

All our love
Roberto and Charlotte

Hello Linda, Words cannot express how thankful Don and I are to have you as our wedding planner. Our wedding was beyond perfect. All the effort you put forth to ensure every detail was exactly what we wanted and perfect. We appreciate you so very much. September 12th will be a day we will never forget and you were a big part of it. We wanted to thank you for your time and efforts on our behalf. We have only been home one day and neither one of us can stop talking about how perfect everything was for our wedding day. Thank you so very much for being there for us. We greatly appreciate all you did for us in making our dreams come true. Please also forward my thanks to both my hair stylist and make up artist. I felt beyond beautiful and truly relaxed with them. They were perfect for me. Hopefully we will see you soon as both Don and I can’t wait to get back to Positano and enjoy the beauty, and relaxation that the Amalfi Coast has to offer. We are already planning our one year anniversary trip. Thank you so much Linda! Don and Christina Pennington

Hi Linda

Hope you are well!

We are now home after a lovely few days in Rome and had a big party last night to celebrate our wedding!

Thank you so much for everything you did on our wedding day! It was perfect and I didn't worry or think about a thing other than my husband 🙂 everyone loved the day! The weather was perfect, the setting was perfect and the food and staff at La Terrazze were fantastic!

Do you know when we will receive our wedding certificate?

Thanks
Mr and Mrs Brown

Our Dearest Linda

Well here we are settled into married life at home. We still laugh at each other when we are called husband and wife. Its funny.

Being married is so lovely, its like we are in a protected bubble that no one can touch.

Linda, I want to write to you to thank you. To thank you from the bottom of our hearts for our wedding day.
The minute I saw you at the town hall when we got out of the taxi, I just knew all would be fine and great.

Linda, working with you was truly wonderful. Not only did I have a wedding planner, I had a friend. Sharing time with you in Italy was so lovely. I connected with you as a caring friend who was taking care of us.
Having Linda Gatto share our day was wonderful. Fr John was fantastic!!! Love that guy, such a funny character.

Our week in Italy was truly the most amazing week of our lives. And already we are excited to come back over next may for our first year Anniversary. Tell me you will meet us for a drink, we would love that.

Once we have received our wedding certificates and photos, I still hope you will keep in touch with us. Should you ever wish to come to the UK, there will be a home for you here to stay.

Lovely lady, I wish you all the love and wishes in the world. May only wonderful things come yours and your daughters way.
I send a little prayer with this email.

With love,
Nolan and Jemma xxx

Dear Linda,
I hope you are well!We are looking back at our wedding in Sorrento with so much joy and happiness! It was just wonderful.
We would like to send to you a small gift from Norway - I need your office address to send it to you - please, could you send that to me?
Thank you :-)!

Kristin and Øyvind Førde

Hi Linda,

We wanted to write you testimonial on your website, but we couldn't figure out how.

Basically, we just wanted to say:

Thank you, thank you, grazie mille, thank you!!!

You helped our dreams come true. You helped us find the most amazing church and the most amazing restaurant.

You helped take care of all the details that made the wedding so special. And when we had an issue with our paperwork that could have been disastrous 2 weeks before the wedding, you remained calm and same up with a solution that saved the wedding.

We couldn't have done this without you.

Come visit us in Texas!!
Always,

Lena & Anthony

Linda,

Just one word: AMAZING!

Every detail was wonderfully planned and extraordinarily beautiful.

Your officiant and photographer were so gracious and the boat and car driver couldn't have been more generous.

We are so thankful to have the opportunity to work with you in Capri and we're are happy with it all.

And guess what...all the clouds went away and it was sunny the entire time for us : )

Jeff and Jennifer

Hi Linda,

We just got back to the states on Tuesday (meant to send this as soon as we got home, but jetlag has prevented us from getting anything done). We just wanted to thank you and let you know how grateful we are that we had your help with planning our wedding. You took away so much stress for our big day and we knew we were in good hands. You did a fantastic job and everything came together wonderfully. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you thank you thank you for making our wedding so special.

Ciao for now!

Lauren & Mo

Dear Linda,

Ian and I would like to thank you for helping us organise our beautiful wedding in Ravello. The day was absolutely magical. We loved the ceremony in the gardens, the view, the white chairs, we loved the warming of the rings, we loved the violinist, it was all beautiful, romantic and very, very special.

I think the name of your company is very appropriate, I really felt like I had rubbed Aladdin's lamp and all my dreams had come true.

Very best wishes,

Pippa

Hi Linda,

How are you?

Below you will find a review from Mary and I for your website. Please let me know if you think it is OK.

After contacting a few wedding planners initially, we chose Linda due to how friendly, enthusiastic and excitable she was about planning our wedding; we really got the impression she loved her job.

Also, having never been to the Amalfi Coast before, Linda was happy to meet us and show us a number of possible wedding venues in various towns, which we really appreciated. And it was then we realised just how many people Linda knew along the coast, which we would benefit from time and again when arranging everything for our wedding day.

Throughout the organisation, Linda was always available to help, via email or skype, and helped with everything including legal documentation to accommodation advice for us and our guests. Closer to the wedding, Linda was on hand to reassure us, making sure everything was organised and ensure we hadn't forgotten anything.

The most important role Linda had to play for us was on the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself. The day before our wedding, the Church told us they had double booked, and so times would have to change. Linda was quick to sort this for us, and while we spoke to the priest, Linda immediately changed the times for everything booked for the following day. Without Linda, we don't know what we would have done. It would not have been easy to contact and communicate with the countless people and services we had booked, but Linda had it all sorted in an hour. The wedding day went very smoothly, and we were allowed to relax and enjoy our day, but only thanks to Linda, who had everything under control and dealt with any small issues that came up.

Finally, all of our family commented on how much they enjoyed Linda's company on the wedding day. It didn't feel like Linda was anything other than one of guests on the day. We really cannot recommend Linda and her services enough, and the fee is a small price to pay for the comfort and confidence in knowing that she will organise the wedding of your dreams.

Thank you very much for everything, our day was absolutely perfect in every way and it was all thanks to you.

Best Wishes

Mary & David

Hi Linda,

How are you ? I wanted to see you again before i leave Praiano but i guess my msg did not reach you, I kept a bottle of champagne for you.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us. I know i was difficult at times but it turned out to be a perfect wedding day, could not ask for more 🙂

My favorite part was Vittorio Frattini's music, it was amazing ! Also the beautiful table you made, my bouquet was perfect.

The funniest part was seeing Don Pio serving the mass at the ceremony !!!! He turned out at the cocktail drinking champagne and actually smiling !!!

I hope to see you again in a more relaxed manner and have Enzo make you laugh with his jokes and impersonnations

Hi Linda,

Hope you are well! We are enjoying our first month of marriage! Thank you, again, for your wonderful support throughout the last several months to help us have the perfect wedding for us! It was a dream for us!Thank you, Linda!

Gina and Chris

Hi Linda,

Thank you for everything yesterday! We were thrilled with our wedding and appreciate all your help to make it so flawless.

Thank you, Linda!

Gina and Chris

Dear Linda

Thank you for all your help in arranging our marriage. At one point we did not think it was going to happen because of the required certificate, but you helped us get there in the end. I don’t think we could have done it without you!!!

The flowers were amazing, absolutely beautiful, so please pass our thanks onto the florist. Our reception dinner was excellent, Palazzo Sasso created a wonderful menu for us, and there were two musicians throughout the whole of the dinner, which made the evening so special.

Alfonso and team were lovely, I’m sure they will have some superb photographs, we can’t wait to se them, and Alfonso has said he will send them to us in approx 3 weeks, which is excellent news.

Once again, many thanks Linda,

Anita & Iain Smith

Linda

Thank you so much for everything and big thanks to Rosa our wedding day was perfect!!! It was such an enjoyable day and everything went so smooth and we had fun!!! Mr Antonio provided a wonderful reception venue and the food was fantastic!!

Italy was incredible you are so lucky to live in such an amazing place! We fell in love with Positano!! Our honeymoon was spent in Ravello which was perfect as very quiet there and we could relax!

I wondered when we will be expecting the wedding photo disc and dvd - the photographer and videographer were fantastic and really kept us going as just after the wedding we were so tired and a bit overwhelmed!!

All our friends have put photos on Facebook which you are more than welcome to see!!

Hope you are okay and everything is okay with your husband!!

Love Leanne and Sam xxx

Dearest Linda,

All is good, hope this email finds you well.

We wrote a testimonial that we hope you can use and here it is:

We are from Iceland and we had a dream about getting married in Positano in Italy. We didn’t have any idea though how to go about it and what places would suit for our wedding ceremony and reception with our immediate family. Initially, we contacted few wedding planners who gave us their recommendations, as to where and how we could have it, and straight away we felt that Linda Gatto, a wedding planner at the La Lampada de Aladino, could help us make our dreams come true. She helped us organise the legally binding ceremony at the Town Hall and find the perfect location for our wedding ceremony and reception. She went out of her way to make sure that all aspects of the wedding planning were discussed and taken care of and always seemed to be few steps ahead of us. We couldn’t have done it without her help. She made sure that we had the absolute perfect wedding experience. We had high expectations beforehand but our experience exceeded them in every way. So if you want to have a perfect wedding experience without the stress that comes with planning a wedding we are more than happy to recommend you to contact the wedding planners at the La Lampada de Aladino. You won’t regret it!

Best wishes for your perfect wedding experience,
Anna Dora & Tryggvi

HELLO LINDA!!

How are you...well I hope.

We have just got back from our honeymoon and are now preparing for our big wedding reception over here on Sunday.

I just wanted to say how fantastic a job you did in arranging our beautiful wedding. We could not have asked for more!

The whole day was amazing from the flowers to the lovely Pino!

It was so great to meet you at last.......thank you for reminding me to relax! ; )

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards.

Nimi

Hi Linda-

"My wedding experience was sincerely a delight. It was pleasure to work with Linda and she very thourough and diligent throughout the entire planning process. I couldn't have asked for a more phenomenal experience. And to top it off, I had a fabulous wedding! I was very pleased with the procession of the day, and my guests had a wonderful time!"

Thank you for all you have done!

My Positano Wedding.  April 25^th, 2007 -

Where do I start… where do I start …hum! Let’s start with these lines… A woman’s dream wedding! Unbelievably spectacular! Romantic beyond expectations!  And did I mention the church?  Wow – soooo amazing!

If you are thinking about getting married in Italy I would say, do it!!  Because, with me the before, the during and the after wedding experience in Positano was the best thing I ever did in my life.  I currently live in Laguna Niguel, California, and before getting married in Positano my wife and I were thinking about getting married in Laguna Beach California - not a shabby place either.  Since it’s my second go-around at this marriage thing I felt that if we had a ceremony in Laguna Beach nothing would be much different then my last ceremony in Newport Beach Ca.  After all things considered my wife and I decided to make things a bit more exciting instead of the area we live in.  So I began to research a few places out of the country and ran upon a website called “amalfi-wedding-planner.com”. It was here that I thought I would check things out and see what steps it would take to get married in Italy.  At amalphi wedding planners.com I met a gal by the name of Linda Gatto.  She was much a professional as she is a friend.  I had called a few wedding planners in Italy prior to Linda, however for me, she and I clicked from the start. In fact she was recommended to me from this same exact forum. After about a dozen conversations or so with her I gain some confidence and felt that Positano would be the place Renee and I would marry.

What a journey!  Not just the legal stuff, but the journey one goes through to make all things come together.  The paper work in the States. The anticipation.  The flight into Rome.  The Euro star into Naples.  Going to the American Consulate in Naples.  The drive to Salerno, the drive along the Amalphi coast and meeting everyone that has a part of making your Big Day happen.  It was all awesome!  We also had some friends and family meet us in Positano and for all of them there journey was equally as exciting. When the Big Day finally arrived everything came together perfectly, beginning to end! The church, the flowers, the reception, the photographer, the music, and even the car.  All perfect!  If any of you are interested in seeing photos or just want a little Q & A, feel free to email me at ggarcia100@msn.com.  By the way… none of this would have happen without Linda Gatto.  Thanks, Linda!

Hi Linda,

First I must apologise for not replying sooner but things are just getting back to normal for us now.

We totally loved our Italian wedding and would not change one thing.
The church looked beautiful and the Villa Rosa was excellent, I would recommend them to anyone.
The photographer was excellent, we got the album and everyone who has seen it thinks it stunning.
I think the florist was fantastic, the flowers were the nicest I've ever seen.

Linda, you done an exceptional job and are a true expert at your work. We were both so happy and the rest of our families felt the same too. We were truly blessed to have found you. I can't thank you enough for all your hard work to make our day perfect.

If you have any other Irish brides who are thinking of using your services please feel free to use me as a reference.

I hope you are always busy with your work and we wish you continued success in the future.

Love Alison.

Hi Linda,

I am sorry for taking so long to reply to you. Since we have been back, I went to see my family in Bulgaria as some people could not come to the wedding and then because we have been so lucky and have received so many presents, we have spent most of our time re-arranging our house and trying to fit all the lovely things. Plus we both started new jobs so you can imagine how hectic it has been!

As for our Positano-Sorrento wedding experience, well, where do we start! We absolutely loved it and so did our guests! It was such a beautiful location, both Sorrento and Positano, and that is why I cried through most of the ceremony, it was so moving and such wonderful view to take in as well as seeing all our families and friends.

We felt that by the time it came to our special day everything was just perfect. So many people when they asked us why we chose Positano for the ceremony and Sorrento and La Tonnarella for the reception, thought that we had been there before and they were surprised that we had not been to see the places before the big day. Well, all I could say to them was that we were not in the slightest bit nervous to try something completely new, even for us. And that's because we had you, Linda! You helped us so much with organising ever last detail of the ceremony and reception that it is as if were there ourselves. It meant that we could be surprised and overwhelmed by the venues on or just before the special day and have a very memorable experience.

It mattered to us that for our day we did something that was just so unlike any other experience that we had, and you made this possible. From the first few emails to you we came to realise that you understood exactly what we wanted and why we wanted it and the constraints of our budget and offered invaluable advice and assistance. You never made us feel as if we had no choice or options. Everything was possible even when we were changing our minds about details like the flowers and the cake and the menu every five minutes. Throughout the year we were working together you tirelessly answered hundreds of emails from us and all the questions we posed you. At times, when we still had a million things to plan and decide on, you felt like our guardian angel!

Linda, you were just fantastic and made our special day so wonderful and perfect! I can't believe how lucky we were to find you and to have you help us realise our dreams. Struan and I look at each other or through our photos every once in a while and can't believe how amazing the day was: the location, the weather, the food, the cake and everyone having such a lovely time. Thank you again for making this possible!

With lots of love and best wishes for your future,

Joanna and Struan Mackenzie

Looking forward to receiving and seeing the photographs.

I will be in touch soon.

Thanks again

Joanna

TESTIMONIAL WRITTEN ON TRIPADVISOR

We are just back from our beautiful wedding in Positano

and I would like to recommend our wedding planner - Linda from Amalfi Wedding Planners

Email :info@amalfi-wedding-planner.com

Address: La lampada di Aladino S.r.l.

Viale degli Eucalipti, 18

84134 Salerno

ITALY

I must have asked Linda 1 million questions throughout the 8 months of planning and always received quick and well advised replies. Linda's local knowledge meant that we had the right advice and so the best of everything.

Linda was so helpful and took the pressure off - meeting us a few days prior at the church and taking over all the little jobs - mass booklets,candles, flowers etc so we never had to even think about the little things.

Really helped make our day

Joanna

Hello Linda,

Apologies for not emailing you before now.

We just wanted to say thanks a million for making everything so perfect on our wedding day. It was amazing and we really appreciate all the hard work you put into making it such a special day.

Kind regards

Glen & Fiona

Linda,

Thanks very much for all your hard work.

You must have answered hundreds of e-mails before the wedding - and amazingly you managed to find everything we wanted from a sailing boat, to a private airport and even yellow tealights!

It meant we arrived in Positano confident that everything was organised and ready for our dream wedding. And it was just that.

You deserved our special 'Wedding Oscar' trophy!

Jules & Chris
