From the very beginning of our dialogue with Barbara at Extraordinary Weddings, we were 100% confident that our wedding day would be perfect. She followed up quickly and thoroughly through all the planning, and with her local expertise she was recommending local suppliers that we would never manage to find ourselves. The planning went smoothly and stress free, so did the wedding day. The venue for our ceremony and wedding lunch was amazing! The breath taking view, the flowers, our celebrant, the tour in the wine cellar, the wine, the lunch, the atmosphere.. Everything put together by Barbara. Looking back, it all feels like a fairy tale - we couldn’t wish for anything more. We give Barbara at Extraordinary Weddings our warmest recommendations to everyone who’s concidering a wedding in Piedmont. - Submitted by Jarle & Hedvig - Norway
We are still enjoying every thought of our awesome wedding in La Morra and we are enjoying our new life as husband and wife very much :-). We really enjoyed having selected you as our wedding planner and would recommend your services to any of our friends! - submitted by Claudio & Nadia - Switzerland

"Barbara Gourdain at Extraordinary Weddings did a wonderful job in making our wedding a perfect day and weekend. From our very first Skype call she was interested and invested in getting to know us, our style, our taste, and our vision for the wedding. We love the food, wine, landscape, and rustic feeling of Piemonte. She found various options for venues in the Langhe area, including our final choice, Villa Tibodi - which was the perfect place for us. Villa Tiboldi has the perfect combination of an elegant and rustic atmosphere. We would never have found this venue - or the photographer, stylists, florist, etc. - by ourselves. Barbara’s local expertise made our wedding feel authentic Italian, yet still like “us”. Barbara had various tips and suggestions during the planning stage - and she has a keen eye for the small details.
She always followed up and made us feel very comfortable and assured that the wedding was going to be a great day and weekend. Furthermore, Barbara was incredibly thorough in finding the best solutions and suppliers based on our budget. We had a busy work schedule prior to the wedding, but with Barbara’s help, the planning went smoothly and stress free. Yet, the guests commented that the wedding felt so tailored to who we are as a couple, that they thought we had done it all ourselves. We owe our dream wedding to Barbara - and we made a good friend - she’s such a wonderful, funny, and warm person :* We recommend Extraordinary Weddings for everyone that loves Piemonte and the Langhe area." - Submitted by Linn & Matias - Norway

"I cannot recommend Extraordinary Weddings enough to anyone considering getting married in Italy. When we first decided to get married abroad and set our sights on a wedding by one of the Italian lakes, we were nervous about finding someone that we could trust to make our dream a reality. Barbara made it happen! She is a true professional who went above and beyond to make our day, and the run up to it, as special and stress free as possible. She was always quick in responding to emails and was incredibly thorough in finding the best suppliers based on our budget. She was amazing at negotiating on our behalf and was on top of every detail which was so important to me because you can feel a bit powerless sometimes when you decide to get married abroad! She was a true ally and friend throughout the process. Everyone at the wedding commented that we couldn't have had a better planner! If you're getting married in Italy and looking for a planner, call Barbara Gourdain!" - Submitted by Pia & David, Ireland
"We used Extraordinary Weddings Italy to help put together our beautiful wedding in La Morra, Piemonte. It was a special place for us - having visited there previously - we always knew we wanted to be married there. It was a difficult time of year, and because we were Australians, there was a lot of procedures and paperwork to be mindful of. Working with Barbara made this so incredibly painless and simple. It was almost as if most of the wedding was taken care of. Someone was always within Skype, phone or text. She's incredibly pro-active and professional. She can work to any budget and can really help make the most memorable day. To anyone who is looking for some help in organising their wedding in Italy - we do highly encourage you to whip a quick email to Barbara...you'll understand what we mean!"

"I really don’t know what I would have done without Extraordinary Weddings. I was so busy with travel and activity planning for our international guests that I relied heavily on Barbara for the wedding day details. She took care of everything I needed immediately and always offered ideas and suggestions that I did not know were possible since I’m not from here. Extraordinary Weddings brought my wedding day vision to life. The execution and décor were flawless. Everything was even more amazing than we imagined!”

"Nothing will ever compare to the wedding weekend. It exceeded every single one of our expectations and we have you in large part to thank for that. Honestly, it was a lot of hard work by all of us, but I feel like the vision Mike and I had for our wedding weekend and day was completely and fully realized. I would change nothing! It was so much fun working with you and I appreciated all of your guidance, help and support and recommendations along the way. All the extra little things and special extra services you provided did not go unnoticed. You truly were the icing on the cake for us and we cannot thank you enough."
