Having Julian Pio work with us on the wedding – he went way above and beyond what either Kevin and I had expected. Our day trip with him was fabulous, but even more impressive was the wonderful service he provided us with “ …  “….I have never in my life had such wonderful , professional, service nor been treated so well by anyone providing a service than I was by Julian. By the end of the night he was like part of the family, thank you soooo much for having him work for us.”

Catholic Wedding (in German): “ Dear Julian,......We did not want to “buy” a “standardized wedding package” and “consume” it like some entertainment or like a tourist. And due to your personal effort we truly had a unique and wonderful wedding (which had nothing to do with “wedding tourism”). That is why we want to thank you once again !”  Judith and Jochen Hey – Germany –Aug. 2001

Catholic Wedding :  “…We cannot say enough about Julian – From the moment we made contact with Julian, he really made us feel at ease with the whole situation. As I am sure you may be able to appreciate, booking something over the internet does mean you are putting your trust in complete strangers- Julian cleared any nervousness; He was super professional from the outset and couldn’t have been more helpful. When we met him he told us to call him if we needed anything, no matter what time of the day or night it was. He also helped with some of our guests whose bags did not arrive, making numerous calls to Alitalia on our behalf.”…  Dermot & Aileen Daly – Ireland – Sept. 2001
