Sarah and Mark, Malcesine June 2014

Dear Pam & Francesco, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work time and effort that went into making our wedding so perfect! When we go engaged in October 2012 we decided straight away to go abroad and after a few days thinking we had a little google and found a gorgeous picture of a bride and groom on a balcony over the lake, we instantly fell in love and said to each other this is where we're going! So we got in touch with Pam and within hours she was on the phone discussing our options. By Christmas everything was booked and we were excited to visit this beautiful place to do final decisions and organising. So we headed out in the April to meet Pam and Francesco and loved every second of the planning process. Pam is fantastic every question gets answered and everything you would like can be done. we had 68 people at our wedding in June this year, it was one of the hottest days of our holiday and everything went so smooth and exactly how we had planned. Even though there were so many people to organise Pam did it all with ease and no stress. we are so pleased with all our photos and had great fun creating them. We highly recommend Malcesine Castle, Pam and Francesco, no one else could do it quite like you guys! Looking forward to coming back next year for our anniversary 🙂 THANK YOU XX Sarah & Mark xx

Cheryl and Steve Day (Mother and Father of the bride), Malcesine, June 2014

Hi Pam.

I wanted to write and thank you for making Ruth and Dean's wedding day so special and memorable on 5th June. You worked incredibly hard on the day and I know a lot of time was also spent beforehand on planning and making sure everything went the way they wanted and we really appreciated it. It was a magical day from beginning to end and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, in fact I think it was all a dream!
Please also thank the photographer for spending a long day (and evening) taking photographs, he seemed to have an endless amount of energy. We are so looking forward to seeing his amazing photos of the incredible day.
We loved visiting Malcesine and hope to return one day for a more leisurely stay, it's a fantastic place and everyone was so friendly. We now understand why they chose this stunning venue.
Once again a huge thank you for everything.
Best wishes
Cheryl and Steve Day


Ruth and Dean Harrison, Malcesine, June 2014

Hey Pam
Thank you so much for ensuring our wedding day was 'perfecto'! From start to finish, the whole day was absolutely fantastic. To anyone who is considering getting married in Italy / Lake Garda, you need to look no further than Pamela Barrack. From speaking to her on Skype to discuss our wishes for the big day to always offering the personal touch when it came to planning the big day. Pam works tirelessly and offers an unrivalled service. She has a way to make you feel as though YOUR day is the only day she is helping to plan. We cannot speak highly enough of Pam. Other companies seem to be more interested in sending you generic emails and payment plans whereas Pam is total opposite - far more interested in making the day truly special. Thank you, Pam! The photographer is equally as brilliant. We met him about a year before our wedding for our engagement photo shoot in order to get used to the camera. He is highly skilled, professional, imaginative, and hugely funny. This guy also never stops during the day - at times you can almost see the cogs in his mind going crazy as he thinks of ways to take a fantastic shot! He captures moments on his camera like you would not believe. In short, you will not find better than this team to assist with your wedding plans and the smooth running of your big day. If we were to do it all again, without question, we would be immediately in touch with Pam.
Ruth and Dean


Jade and Ben, Drena Castle and Riva, 2014

How we could possibly put into words the truly outstanding treatment we received from Romantic Weddings (run by Pamela Barrack) is beyond me…. But we will try.

We decided we wanted to marry in Italy 2 years ago and after searching for a very long time we finally found Pam. Her personal and prompt attention to our special day was incredible from the very start. Many other companies that we contacted firstly send over price lists and payments schedules…. However Pam was different right from the word go, she wanted to get to know myself and my now husband and was only ever concerned for what we wanted and what she could do for us.

Being a women, planning her wedding day.. I envisaged a magical day, something out of a fairy tale.. my husband would say I watch too many romantic comedy’s.. Pam however worked tirelessly to ensure our day was everything I could ever of imagined and it was so so much more. I was a very demanding bride who stressed and worried about all of the insignificant things that wouldn’t matter to anybody else. Many exceeded my expectations with her care and attention and was only ever a text or email away during my times of stress.

I send over pictures of what I imagined…flowers, table plans… you name it….. our day was more beautiful than any of the images I had viewed. Pam’s warm yet professional work ethic delivered a truly outstanding wedding day that will never ever be forgotten my ourselves or any of our guests. The day ran like clockwork from start to end and there was absolutely nothing that we could fault.. the venue, the reception, the food… the flowers… Pam made sure everything was perfect.

Francesco (the photographer) was out of this world and did not stop all day.. we never imagined the beauty of the day could be caught in photographs but Francesco ensured that each and every picture resembled us as a couple and our personalities were evident in every  single picture.

I am very hard to please as my husband would agree, but I literally have no words to describe how amazing both Pam and Francesco are.. we would do it all again tomorrow if we could.. from start to end our day was perfection and completely breath taking and that was all down to the fabulous work that Pam had put in…

Our wedding day was like something out of a fairy tale… and the pictures do it every little bit of justice… our guests have all been to numerous weddings over their years and they all agreed they had never experienced anything like our wedding day. They could not believe how attentive both Pam and Francesco were and how they did not stop for one second.

If anybody is considering getting married in Italy I would seriously say look no further Pam is your lady.. if you weren’t completely overwhelmed by everything she does to create your dream day I would foot your bill personally… that’s how confident I am!!!

I cannot give higher recommendation to Pam and Francesco at Romantic Weddings and we cannot thank them enough. They have created memories that will last forever and a day that will never be forgotten by myself, my husband and each and every one of our guests.

Thank you Pam and Francesco you really are incredible people and thank goodness we found you!!!

Amy and Wayne, Malcesine, May 2014

We initially spoke to Pam when we were discussing getting married in Lake Garda. We flew out to Malcesine for a week in May 2014 and arranged to meet with Pam the day after we arrived. We met in the centre of town and Pam showed us around Malcesine and took us to all possible reception venues for our wedding. We spent a good 3 and a half hours in her company and nothing was too much trouble even though she is extremely busy and we aren’t planning our wedding until June 2016. We were shown around the castle, met the hairdresser and were given a lot of information about good places for people to stay for the wedding. We then met Francesco the Photographer a few days into our stay and had our Engagement Photo shoot. We received the photos today and WOW! is all I can say! He is fantastic, makes you feel so relaxed and even though we started out feeling nervous we soon relaxed and enjoyed the experienced which ended with an ice cream! If you are thinking of booking your wedding with Romantic Weddings on Lake Garda then look no further I cannot praise Pam and Francesco highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so efficient and friendly. We have come back from a week’s stay in Malcesine and have decided on the majority of our wedding plans thanks to Pam's amazing advice and points in the right direction to places we wouldn’t have known existed had we not met her! Roll on 2016!!


Paul and Anna, Malcesine Church, May 2014

We wish to give a huge thank you to Pam for organising our dream wedding in Malcesine this summer. We first visited in 2013 to meet Pam whos personal approach and friendliness & huge enthusiasm immediately put us at ease & we left from that trip feeling very content & excited, especially given that we wanted a catholic wedding in the church & one of us not catholic - no mean feat & without Pam it simply would not have been possible. This allowed us to return to the UK knowing everything was in the best of hands. Whilst on this visit, Pam’s photographer did a photo shoot near the castle & town as an engagement album - a nice touch. We were also shown around many wonderful restaurants, bars and hotels not just for the wedding but for ideas for the rest of the wedding trip to take our family & guests to. We opted for the Hotel Excelsior Bay for the whole party to both stay & have our reception & meal – a perfect spot on the lake & near all amenities. Once back in the UK, Pam was very easy to contact and liaise with and the attention to detail on everything from seating plans, menus, canapés to flowers, wedding cake & hairdressers was excellent. We arrived back in Italy in 2014 a few days before the wedding and met Pam who took us through all the legal stuff including meeting our English speaking priest who was wonderful. We then went to each venue to finalise all the small details including a boat ride after the lakeside canapés which would be dropping us off right by our hotel ready for the reception & meal. The hotel itself was perfect, friendly & professional. This allowed us to relax with our family & guests as much as possible in the intervening days with the big day itself going as smooth as possible giving us both the best day of our lives in beautiful surroundings from the church to the castle (where we had further wonderful pictures taken ) to the lakeside canapés setting, the amazing boat ride & back to our perfect intimate reception & dinner at the hotel. All our guests enjoyed the experience thoroughly from the wedding day itself to how organized & efficient all the other nights were planned with great venues to eat at – including fine dining at Re Lear! Malcesine really is the dream setting for a wedding & Pam the perfect planner! A huge thank you from Paul & Anna xxxx
