and CRITICAL to the entire event is Paola de Juliis, (Your Tuscany Consultant). We met Paola initially via Skype through a friend's recommendation, when searching for help 'to do something in Tuscany' (I shit you not, we were that vague in the first chat). To describe Paola as a Wedding Planner would be the grandest of understatements in mankind's history. The Venue was picked from a choice of three Paola recommended after discussing requirements. The DJ and playlists were discussed in detail prior to agreement. The live music was found by Paola, as was the catering (again, from an initial set of options). NEVER did we even remotely feel like Paola is suggesting one thing. EVER. She arranged the taxis taking you home, the wine you drank, the music you danced to, and the food you ate. She CAN help with a simple trip to Tuscany for a few days, renting a house, a shopping journey, or (surprise surprise!) a wedding. If EVER wanting to go to Tuscany, shout and I will gladly make introductions. I will copy and paste a sentence here from earlier, as I think it says it all: "She arranged the taxis taking you home, the wine you drank, the music you danced to, and the food you ate."re.

"We are going to be in Arezzo for two months, and are renting an amazing apartment in the heart of the medieval center that Paola found for us. We have been here a week, and Paola already seems like an old friend. She knows everyone and everything, and is an invaluable resource for visitors. The famous Joust of the Saracen was yesterday, and Paola was able to get us a place on a private balcony with a group of friendly locals overlooking the Piazza Grande, which was packed with passionate fans, and men and horses in colorful medieval garb. We had the best seats in the piazza, and the joust was an enormously entertaining spectacle. We never would have experienced this without Paola. She is amazing."  Linda Carey

"Paola is very knowledgeable and hard working. Her response times to all of our questions were quick, and her English is excellent. She organized many memorable events for our family, including dinner overlooking a jousting competition in Arezzo, and a wine bus tour through Chianti. I would recommend her to anyone looking to vacation in Tuscany."
