What they say about us
Olivia & Micah
"From the bottom of our hearts and with the utmost gratitude, we want to thank you for the perfect weekend. This would never have happened without you.
Seeing everything come together beyond our wildest expectations, having no issues during the wedding weekend (which is so rare in talking with friends who have had weddings), and hearing our guests say over and over again that this was a "celebrity wedding" and "the best wedding they've ever been to"-that was ALL you!!
I wish WE could have been guests at this wedding!
I forget if we told you this, but we ultimately chose you (aside from being HIGHLY recommended by Tonnara) because you are the only planner who asked us about us.
Other planners jumped right into logistics, but we loved that you intentionally got to know us. Your ability and willingness to understand your brides' and grooms' on a personal level translated into the entire weekend and was definitely recognized by our guests who commented on how "perfectly tailored" the weekend was to Micah and me.
You captured a narrative, mood, and story written for us and by us, and made it a dream reality.
You are incredibly talented at what you do.
There is a reason everyone said you are the best of the best-we couldn't agree more!!"

"Great job!!! Barbara and her staff made real all our expectations. We are incredibly grateful to Barbara for the excellent organization of our wedding. From the very beginning, the communication was smooth and effortless, with no language barriers at all. Her style is both elegant and pleasant, which perfectly matched the atmosphere we envisioned.
Barbara provided us with excellent recommendations for vendors, each one professional and high-quality, making the whole planning process much easier and stress-free. She was consistently formal and friendly, not only with us but also with our families and friends, who all felt warmly welcomed and taken care of.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we absolutely recommend her without hesitation!"

Bailey & Jordan
"Not only were great suggestions provided, Barbara and her team patiently answered our follow up questions, pursued the directions we wanted to take things where it was important to us, and took the time to explain why you made some of the suggestions that you did (i.e. booking transfers upon checkout). All of our guests commented on how incredible the evening was, which came down to your attention to detail. Multiple vendors even commented to me about how much they enjoy working with you, Barbara.
The money Barbara was able to save us with other vendors and the level of personalization of the services she provided paid for itself."

"Barbara designed the most magical weekend for us, incorporating our two cultures with the design and feel of a Sicilian wedding. Her vision was executed perfectly, budget friendly, and we felt very supported along the destination wedding planning journey. She was a joy to work with and took care of every little detail along the way."

"Truly the best of the best in the industry at a very good price and with such quality!
​
Have you seen memes about 'this is what I expected and this is what I got'?
The whole wedding was like that, just the opposite! Even though we knew everything in advance, the execution was just 10 times better!
I am so glad I found Amuri, and she exceeded all expectations. She is always available, easy to talk to, and up for anything! She truly has the best team behind her. The only thing we would have changed about our wedding day is that it wouldn’t have ended! If there were a competition for who had the best wedding, we would have won without a doubt, and all the guests agree."

"Barbara you truly transformed our wedding day into an unforgettable masterpiece. Every intricate detail was meticulously crafted, making it a flawless experience from start to finish. From the seamless flow of events to the mind blowing setup, every aspect exceeded our wildest dreams. Our guests could not stop talking about the whole night and experience and how incredible you were all night. Your dedication (and kindness while doing everything) was evident in every aspect of the ceremony and reception. Barbara, we are forever grateful for your exceptional talent and unwavering support. Our special day was truly magical, all thanks to you."

"Barbara was absolutely indispensable. She made planning a wedding abroad possible! She brought forward so many great options. She listened to our ideas and concerns and addressed them with efficient and practical solutions. She is everything and more that we could have asked for to make our vision a reality. We would recommend her to anyone wishing to plan a wedding to Sicily! We feel so fortunate to have had her on our side."

"Fantastic experience from the first very chat to the few days after the wedding. Organisation and communication beyond our expectations. I would have chosen all these attributes but the quality and attention to detail was second to none. From the very first chat we knew we made the right choice - you allowed us to broaden our vision and the end result was spectacular in every sense. You worked much harder than we would have expected you to.
With all the personal events that happened in the run up to the wedding, we felt at peace knowing that you will make all the right decisions on our behalf. And you did... and more!
​
Thank you for a memorable day - we knew we were getting something special but the end result was beyond imagination! Wonderful. Can never thank you enough!"

Rebecca & Ray
"Barbara and her team went above and beyond to create a perfect day for Ray and I. The customer care was consistent throughout the planning process from the initial consultation to our final goodbye and we couldn't ask for anything more :)
I will forever mention Amuri to anyone who asks who helped you plan your wedding, and how did this all come to fruition because Barbara and her team deserve the world and all its recognition.
They were a dream to work with and as a result created our dream wedding day to which nothing was left out or overseen.
We have nothing but love and appreciation for Barbara and her team.
Thank you for EVERYTHING!!! We love you xxx"

"It was in August 2022, that we decided to surpass our traditional California wedding idea, and instead, get married in Sicily. We hoped to make it happen as soon as possible (3 months exactly). Having never been to Sicily, and with a short planning period, we needed someone who can plan our dream destination wedding like Barbara Gravagna, the owner of Amuri Events. She has an amazing personality, and is a professional when it comes to details and organization. She knew exactly what we envisioned, and had ideas for aspects we hadn’t even thought of. With the hastened timeline, Barbara went to work right away within a week of our first meeting. She had presentations regarding locations, venues, color schemes- you name it. She truly went above and beyond any expectations we had and we can’t recommend her and her team enough!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

"Barbara and Amuri did a wonderful job planning our wedding and making the day as easy as possible. Over email, Barbara collaborated with us effectively to realize our vision and she exceeded our expectations! Barbara paid close attention to all of the details we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony and executed our vision better than we ever could have. We had a beautiful day and appreciated the thoughtfulness she put into everything from the small items such as the bouquet to large like the setting of the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful; Barbara and her team put a lot of care into incorporating the items that were important to us into the ceremony. We are very grateful that we were able to have such a special day thanks to Amuri! Would highly recommend them if are going to get married in Sicily."

"Barbara stepped in last minute in our wedding planning process due to issues with our other planner and we are so glad we went ahead with her. Barbara made our vision come to life and we couldn't have done it without her! She was so on top of things, took initiative and was very reactive; our communication with her was a breeze from the start and she’s an incredibly sweet person who cares so much about her clients and who always ensures they’re happy.
We highly recommend her.
Thank you Barbara!"

"We recently had the joy of working with Amuri for our dream wedding, and we cannot express our gratitude enough. From the initial consultation to the big day, the entire experience was nothing short of magical.
Barbara and their team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Their creativity, professionalism, and dedication transformed our vision into a breathtaking reality. The level of organization and attention to detail demonstrated by Amuri was truly impressive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The day of the wedding was simply flawless. Every aspect, from the decor to the timeline, was executed with precision. Amuri managed everything seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day without worrying about a thing.
What sets Amuri apart is not just their expertise but also the genuine care they put into their work. It felt like we were working with friends who were as invested in our wedding as we were.
Thank you, Barbara, for making our wedding day the most incredible and unforgettable experience. We are forever grateful for your talent, professionalism, and the warmth you brought to our celebration."

"Our wedding was the most incredible experience of our lives. It surpassed all expectations, totally blew both us and our guests away, and is a memory we will treasure forever. We're so thankful to have had the wedding of our dreams, and we have Barbara and her team to thank for this.
From the very first moment we met Barbara, we knew she was the person for us. Her kind and generous nature shone through, and she instantly understood both us and our vision. She appreciated that we were looking to have more input in the design of our wedding than other people might normally want, and we worked beautifully as a team, curating this together. Barbara clearly knew us better than ourselves, as she found us a wedding venue we didn't know we would love so much! She also introduced us to so many beautiful places in Sicily on our trip out there.
Throughout our planning, Barbara was attentive, caring and answered our every question, guiding us through the process of a destination wedding – both for the day and also the welcome party/day after. She helped us to secure every vendor, organised every detail and even helped us with accommodation, transport and legal details (which were quite complex and challenging).
On the day of the wedding Barbara and her team, along with the venue owner and suppliers, created the most spectacular mise en place that really brought our collective vision to life. Throughout the day they were on hand not only for us, but for every supplier and every guest. We had many compliments from guests expressing how attentive the team were.
We are beyond grateful to Barbara and the Amuri team for their care and attention to turn our dreams into reality. Not only did we have the most incredible day, Barbara helped us to create a vision that surpassed expectations and made the whole process so much more manageable, putting her heart and soul into making our big day perfect from the moment we met her.
We feel so humbled to have met such an incredible woman, and feel very lucky to have made a friend for life."

"Davvero un'incredibile professionalità di tutto lo staff di Amuri che ha gestito ottimamente l'intero evento ma soprattutto una difficile situazione senza che nessuno percepisse nulla.Barbara è una persona estremamente gentile oltre che molto brava nel suo lavoro ed è sempre stata disponibile e attenta alle nostre richieste."
Alessandra & Oliver
"Abbiamo aspettato un po’ a mandarti questo messaggio perché non sapevamo come esprimerti la nostra gratitudine. Nonostante averti reso la vita difficile con mille emails e dubbi e insicurezze, hai risposto con infinita gentilezza e pazienza, organizzando un matrimonio perfetto in tutti i suoi aspetti. Dai fiori alla musica al catering, ci siamo innamorati di ogni dettaglio, e anche i nostri ospiti non hanno fatto altro che dire che è stato il matrimonio migliore a cui siano stati invitati! A parte la loro opinione, io e Olly ti vogliamo dire grazie per aver dato vita al nostro matrimonio dei sogni. Grazie, grazie, grazie <3
In the end, we had our dream wedding. There were many things that came together on the day we had trusted Amuri to resolved. The music, the flowers, and the food had been chosen earlier, and we briefed Amuri with the high-level decisions but all of the smaller details were resolved beautifully on the day. As a detail-oriented couple, this was a big leap of faith that paid off wonderfully as we were shielded from many many more decisions, making for a much more enjoyable and stress-free process. Barbara did everything with a smile and made us feel very relaxed on the day."
