Chandi, your services and personal attention made all the difference between a cookie cutter event and something truly special! From the perfect weather to the stunning setting, the warmth of Don Carlo, the friendliness of all the waiters, the amazing tenor and the great jazz band, the beautiful wedding cake, the food, the flowers, the great wine from the local vineyard, the help of you and Anne --everything was amazing. It seems rather strange to refer to one's own wedding as a fairy tale but that's what we had. We went into it expecting a simple, charming Italian wedding and ended up with a once in a life time dream event--unbelievable and fabulous. It exceeded both of our expectations and the guests are still raving about it as the best wedding they ever attended.

Words cannot express the gratitude that Shawn and I feel for all of your help with our wedding. So, let me try my best to put into words how grateful we are for you and your friendship.

Many people would ask us, Why Italy? Why are you going there to get married? This is why...One night when we were having dinner at one of our favorite Italian restaurants, we were discussing marriage and before you knew it we both looked at each other as the mandolin played in the background and we knew that Italy was the place that we wanted to celebrate our wedding. This was a way that we could combine a beautiful wedding and also a magnificent trip for us and for some of our family and friends.

Now that we had this brilliant idea, we now had to ask ourselves how are we going to do this. One night I stopped at a bookstore and looked for some information on Weddings in Italy. I found a book and read it. At the back of the book there was a note about "Sogni Italiani" and a phone number. I contacted Chandi Wyant and from that day forward Shawn and I were so blessed and taken care of. It went from an idea to reality. Chandi, you helped make our dreams come true. You were there to answer every question and concern we had. You worked in such a timely manner and it seemed as if we were your only clients, but we knew we were not. Your dedication to us and to all of our wishes revealed the love you have for Italy and how much you want to enrich the lives of others with such a beautiful culture. Our wedding was like a fairy tale and it is a moment that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We have never been happier in our lives and thanks to you; Shawn and I are not only married, but we celebrated our love in the most beautiful country and had a wedding like no other; you made it special and very unique. You are a wonderful person and have an extraordinary wedding planning organization and we will never forget all that you did for us and we will hold you and Italy in our hearts forever. Thank you again Chandi for making our dreams come true!

We would like to express our appreciation for Italian Dreams for the wonderful service they provided for us. With only about 3 months notice they pulled out all the stops and planned a fairy tale wedding in September 2002 that we could only have dreamed of.

We contacted many internet based wedding agents and from the very start Italian Dreams stood above the rest for confidence, competence and genuine interest in us. From the outset they catered to our wishes, going out of their way to find just what we wanted. They worked with us tirelessly to choose a harbour castle by Lake Garda in the small town of Torri del Benaco. It was perfect, and to add to the excitement we were the first English couple to be married there!

The perfect day started with Nicola arriving at the castle by boat to applauding on-lookers. The romantic Italian civil service was held within the castle itself. Afterwards we felt like film stars as the photographer & videographer took us into the castle ramparts & grounds. To add to the magic we and our small wedding party were taken for a boat tour of the Lake. We returned for our exquisite 'lake menu' reception meal across the harbour from the castle, on a balcony overlooking the lake. It was an amazing occasion and the videographer created the most wonderful video that we cherish. We cannot recommend Italian Dreams enough. We got the film star treatment at an extremely reasonable fee.

The whole week went off without a hitch. Without you there is no way we could have pulled this together. Over the holidays, the entire family was together for Christmas and we were finally able to reflect back on the entire event. The consensus was, it was one of the most memorable experiences for all of them - not just the wedding, but the getaway that you created for them in Rome.

Of course Jan and I could never have imagined it would all come together so wonderfully. It was a wedding, Jan told me later, she didn't know she always wanted. It was perfect and we will never forget you for putting it all together. We have told people of our experience and they can't believe it - hopefully they will call you. But, if I can ever act as a reference, please don't hesitate to call. You are amazing Chandi. Best wishes to you in all your future ventures, and as soon is the baby is born and we are back to European travel again, you will be the first we call. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. Your fans forever.

Erin S. & Travis E. — McMinnville, Oregon
Thank you for all your hard work. You helped us to create the perfect wedding! Everyone said it was the best they had ever been too, and I personally could not have been more pleased! The cake was terrific—-the most delicious anyone had ever tasted with fruit and custard. The boat ride was awesome, People loved that aspect and thought it was the perfect end to a perfect day! We will gladly write volumes to praise your work, and please feel free to give my phone number to anyone for a reference. Thank you again for putting together such a wonderful day for us! Eternally grateful.

Jessica & Chad A. — Columbia, South Carolina
Wow! I do not think I could have envisioned a more perfect wedding! Thank you for your hard work and ability to make our day so special. Positano was a dreamlike town with stunning views, wonderful people, and excellent food. Your assistance was superior and your love of Italy showed through in all aspects of your work. All of your suggestions and recommendations were on the mark. You know intimately the areas in which you work and therefore make a very knowledgeable planner. Thank you again for helping us make the most of our wedding.

Maureen H-G. & Fabian G. — Freemont, California
I chose Sogni Italiani to arrange my wedding in Florence due to Chandi Wyant's experience planning her own wedding in Florence. I felt she was in a unique position to understand my desire to plan a really special and unique wedding on a budget. She spent literally hours going over possibilities and options with us. She was patient and even enthusiastic answering countless questions. She seemed genuinely excited about my wedding and not like she was just doing a "job".

When I first planned to have my wedding in Italy, I didn't think it would be possible to do anything this special. Then I read about Chandi's wedding in the newspaper and I wanted her wedding. I had read about other lavish weddings that seemed nice but were way out of our budget. Her wedding seemed simple but perfect.

Our guests are still raving about it. We had many people who had never traveled in Europe before and everyone loved Italy and wants to go back. And those who have been many times before count it as one of their favorite experiences.

James & Pamela M. — Burbank, California
We just wanted to thank you for helping us enjoy the greatest wedding! We returned last night and have been talking constantly about how wonderful everything was. Our wedding day was beautiful, Venice magnificent, and the entire event went smoothly. Our dinner at the Grand Monaco was incredible, in a great location and with scrumptious food. Our hotel was great. We're already planning to return for our first year anniversary! Thanks for all of your help!

Kelly B. & Philip L. — Atlanta, Georgia
We are back in Atlanta and trying to return to our schedules. Our wedding and trip were amazing, and we owe you a great deal of credit for that. I can't tell you enough how flawless that day was for us. We have been singing your praises to friends, family, and coworkers. I look forward to keeping in touch with you and wish you and Dave all the best. We loved meeting you and can't wait to see you again when we return to Italy.

I looked at a dozen Italian Wedding planners on the web once I figured out that it would have been impossible for me to handle the paperwork alone, and I'm so glad that I chose Sogni Italiani! I would do it again in a second! You made an overwhelming pile of red tape very simple and easy. Believe me, you earn your fee in this task alone. I kept thinking, "This would have been impossible to do on my own!" Then you arranged the hotel, flowers, photographer, carriage ride, wedding lunch, and set up that really special tour of Villa Maiano for us. I'm picky and frugal, and you arranged everything to perfection and for an incredibly reasonable price!

I'm a very tough critic, and you are one of the few people I've worked with who didn't fall short of expectation in any area. I appreciated your prompt and comprehensive replies to every question, your honesty and candor, and going beyond the call of duty in every aspect of the planning. The hotel staff was superb, and the wedding lunch that you arranged with them for us on the terrazzo was sublime down to the dessert, which was made by the hotel manager's 90-year-old mother in law. It was HEAVEN. The hotel was the best part of the trip! Angelo is an Angel. I could write 3 pages about how much I love him, the room we had, the entire hotel and the staff. We will never stay anywhere else in Florence. I love Florence! All Parisians should be sent there to learn hospitality! I still love France, but the people of Florence are the best.

How can I thank you enough Chandi? You made everything perfect!

Deirdre C. & Christian S. — New York, New York
Chandi, absolutely everything you coordinated for us was great! I have nothing but positive things to say about everything you planned. I don't know if my words can express how thankful Christian and I are to have you plan our wedding. You are wonderful at what you do and it shows in everything you did for us. We could not have asked for our wedding to be more beautiful or memorable. My wedding day was exactly what I pictured it to be. Everything from the photographer to the flowers was wonderful. My entire family has been raving about you! Thank you doesn't seem to say enough!

John & Karla K. — Atlanta, Georgia
My husband and I would like to take a moment to commend Sogni Italiani's superb services. We were lucky enough to have Chandi's expert knowledge of Italy to assist two months before we married on February 24, 2001 in Florence, Italy. We were very disappointed with the slow and unattentive service we got from the Italian wedding company that we started with. After hearing our dilemma with our current wedding coordinators, Chandi stepped right in and was our "angel". We cannot express how pleased we were with her responsiveness and expert knowledge of Italy and her understanding of planning a wedding in foreign land. We encourage any couple thinking of planning a wedding or vacation in Italy to use Sogni Italiani. We can honestly say without Chandi's help we do not know if we would have made it. She was always reassuring and helpful. I welcome any questions or comments that anyone might have regarding our wedding or Chandi's services.

Cindy L. & Mark S. — Burmingham, Alabama
Let me begin by letting you know how very impressed Mark, myself, and my family are with how beautifully our entire trip was, and particularly our blessing ceremony and all that surrounded it. Everything was exactly as we had hoped for, and all of the people were so very helpful and gracious. The Albergotto — the room and view were lovely, and the staff so helpful. They made everything very smooth. Peter Casparian — So charming and gracious. We all felt like we had known him for years about 10 minutes after we met him. The church is beautiful, and our ceremony was perfect. The place you booked for our wedding dinner was best meal we had in Florence. They were also extremely nice. They sat us in the middle of a room, and had the table set with lovely flowers and champagne. Everyone clapped for us, and it was definitely a celebratory atmosphere. Just what we hoped for. Again, it was all perfect. Thank you so much for your help. It was so smooth and effortless on our part, and we enjoyed every moment.

I am writing to thank you and Sogni Italiani for arranging for us a wonderful wedding in Fiesole. It was everything Ursula and I wanted and more, we had a very special day, full of fun, beauty, excitement, blue skies and magic. We had the holiday of a lifetime and it's all down to you Chandi, for making our dreams come true. The wedding was sheer magic, we felt like a King and Queen, a day we shall treasure for the rest of our lives. We came to you with a crack pot idea in January and by June everything was in place and more. The setting, the ceremony, the hotels, the people were all wonderful and we both thank you very very much for making our special day, truly magical.

Marie Claire & Michael H. — Cambridge, Massachusetts
Thank you again for all of your help...it was wonderful. We had a fantastic time. Neither one of us wanted to come back....three weeks just wasn't enough, but I have a feeling three months wouldn't be either. The musicians were wonderful, and the bouquet was gorgeous — really gorgeous...I couldn't have been happier. I can't thank you enough for setting everything up. It was indeed the best day of our lives.

Cari C. — Aptos, California
Dear Chandi, Thank you for truly making all of our Italian Dreams come true! Thanks to you, we had an amazing and memorable wedding day, and week. A double fandango! You are a gem.

Melanie S. — Ashland, Oregon
Hi Chandi, Thank you for all your help and patience during all the changes during the planning and thank you for your expertise in the planning of this trip. I know if I had not discovered you and called on your help to put this trip together I would have felt tremendously overwhelmed by the many options. The hotel in Florence was definitely a highlight. The staff and owner were very accommodating and helpful to us all. Our bus to La Verna was perfect. The driver stopped for us at a little market in a small town before La Verna where we found the best bread and goat cheese as well as some amazing pesto made by the butcher which we feasted on once we arrived at St Francis' monastery. Somehow because you are American and so familiar with Florence I found it a great relief to know that we were in your hands.
