Fantastica location per matrimonio! Wonderful wedding location

We had an absolutely amazing experience having our wedding at Villa Livia! Marina, our wedding planner, and the rest of the Le Bonheur event planners were fantastic to work with and truly cared about creating a beautiful wedding for us. Planning an international wedding (we live in New York) is not easy but Marina helped with every step of the way, gave thoughtful advice and really made us feel like our wedding was in good hands. She worked with us when the forecast was unfavorable for our wedding day and she made every effort to keep our wedding outside as we wanted it. Our wedding was so incredibly beautiful thanks to their hard work and attention to detail- the decorations, flowers and villa itself were picturesque. Having a wedding in such a beautiful location on a historic road in Rome is a dream. Marina and the planners coordinated everything on the wedding day so we could just focus on having fun. We highly recommend Villa Livia and Le Bonheur event planning if you are having a wedding in Roma!
