Iconic San Galgano Abbey Wedding in Tuscany

At the very beginning, this couple was torn between two dreams: the timeless charm of Tuscany or the romantic beauty of Italy’s lakes. Adding to the challenge, their dates were limited — not an easy puzzle to solve.
And then, like a true stroke of luck, we managed to secure an exceptional date at San Galgano Abbey, a venue so iconic it is usually booked out even two years in advance. From that moment, the choice was clear.

We were just as thrilled as the couple. Collaborating with Agriturismo Terre di San Galgano and their wonderful team is always a joy. Professional, reliable, and welcoming, they have become like family to us after so many weddings celebrated together in this magical place.
The preparations began with another layer of complexity: coordinating across time zones with New York City, while also respecting the bride’s demanding work schedule. Our mission was simple — to make the planning process as stress-free as possible, turning it into a creative and enjoyable journey rather than an additional burden.
Did we succeed? The answer lies in their heartfelt review — a beautiful testament to the joy and serenity we were able to bring to their wedding journey.

Words from Liana & TJ

Cristina from Italian Allegria was a dream come true. Working with Cristina was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in Italy.From our first meeting a year out from the wedding she was so organized and welcoming. She made the process of planning so smooth and easy for me. Cristina was incredible. She was always one step ahead, whether it was guiding us through planning from abroad, coordinating vendors, or handling the small behind-the-scenes moments that made the day feel effortless. We couldn’t be more grateful! On our wedding day, we felt so calm and present because we knew Cristina had everything handled. She created a seamless, beautiful, stress-free experience that we’ll never forget. All of our guests raved about how wonderful she was. Our day would not have been as perfect as it was if she was not apart of it.  We are so grateful for her and would recommend her to any couple planning a destination wedding! – Liana & TJ
