Barbara Gourdain at Extraordinary Weddings did a wonderful job in making our wedding a perfect day and weekend. From our very first Skype call she was interested and invested in getting to know us, our style, our taste, and our vision for the wedding.
We love the food, wine, landscape, and rustic feeling of Piemonte. She found various options for venues in the Langhe area, including our final choice, Villa Tibodi - which was the perfect place for us. Villa Tiboldi has the perfect combination of an elegant and rustic atmosphere. We would never have found this venue - or the photographer, stylists, florist, etc. - by ourselves. Barbara?s local expertise made our wedding feel authentic Italian, yet still like ?us?. Barbara had various tips and suggestions during the planning stage - and she has a keen eye for the small details. She always followed up and made us feel very comfortable and assured that the wedding was going to be a great day and weekend. Furthermore, Barbara was incredibly thorough in finding the best solutions and suppliers based on our budget.
We had a busy work schedule prior to the wedding, but with Barbara?s help, the planning went smoothly and stress free. Yet, the guests commented that the wedding felt so tailored to who we are as a couple, that they thought we had done it all ourselves.
We owe our dream wedding to Barbara - and we made a good friend - she?s such a wonderful, funny, and warm person :* We recommend Extraordinary Weddings for everyone that loves Piemonte and the Langhe area.

I cannot recommend Extraordinary Weddings enough to anyone considering getting married in Italy. When we first decided to get married abroad and set our sights on a wedding by one of the Italian lakes, we were nervous about finding someone that we could trust to make our dream a reality. Barbara made it happen! She is a true professional who went above and beyond to make our day, and the run up to it, as special and stress free as possible.
She was always quick in responding to emails and was incredibly thorough in finding the best suppliers based on our budget. She was amazing at negotiating on our behalf and was on top of every detail which was so important to me because you can feel a bit powerless sometimes when you decide to get married abroad!
She was a true ally and friend throughout the process. Everyone at the wedding commented that we couldn't have had a better planner!
If you're getting married in Italy and looking for a planner, call Barbara Gourdain!

Barbara helped make our dream wedding a reality. Living in the UK, but wanting to get married in Italy, we could never have organised our perfect day in the way she helped us to. Her attention to detail was outstanding & her recommendations/connections meant that we had only but the very best at our wedding; from the venue, to the flowers, to the celebrity make-up artist and all the little touches she personally suggested which just made our wedding so unique and special.
Most married couples when they get married will tell you how stressful planning the wedding was....but Matt & I truly had none of this and all thanks to Barbara's experience, sense of humour & fastidious organisation that ensured we truly had the best day of our lives.

We used Extraordinary Weddings Italy to help put together our beautiful wedding in La Morra, Piemonte. It was a special place for us - having visited there previously - we always knew we wanted to be married there. It was a difficult time of year, and because we were Australians, there was a lot of procedures and paperwork to be mindful of. Working with Barbara made this so incredibly painless and simple. It was almost as if most of the wedding was taken care of. Someone was always within Skype, phone or text. She's incredibly pro-active and professional. She can work to any budget and can really help make the most memorable day. To anyone who is looking for some help in organising their wedding in Italy - we do highly encourage you to whip a quick email to Barbara...you'll understand what we mean!

Thank you for helping us arranging a beautiful wedding. It was really a dream wedding and everything we were hoping for. We had a great time and memories that we'll carry for ever.
All the guests were also very happy with their stay and they had a really good impression of piedmont. Several of the guests said that they were definitely coming back:-)
The cake was beautiful and it tasted marvelous.
We are really happy that we chose you as our wedding planner and we will highly recommend you to other people. You've been easy to work with and always been very quick with replying to our emails.
Have a good day!

From the very beginning of our dialogue with Barbara at Extraordinary Weddings, we were 100% confident that our wedding day would be perfect. She followed up quickly and thoroughly through all the planning, and with her local expertise she was recommending local suppliers that we would never manage to find ourselves. The planning went smoothly and stress free, so did the wedding day.
The venue for our ceremony and wedding lunch, Cordero di Montezemolo, was amazing! The breath taking view, the flowers, our celebrant Cynthia, the tour in the wine cellar, the wine, the lunch, the atmosphere.. Everything put together by Barbara. Looking back, it all feels like a fairy tale - we couldn?t wish for anything more.
We give Barbara at Extraordinary Weddings our warmest recommendations to everyone who?s concidering a wedding in Piedmont.
