Mario, AnnaMaria, Enrico, an absolute dream team! We cannot thank you enough for everything you all did to help make our wedding day exceed our wildest dreams, it really was the perfect day in every way imaginable. Our guests had the most fabulous time, they were re-living their Ravello experience weeks after we all got home!!
Thank you so much for really paying attention to every detail, from the table decorations, flowers, music, wedding cake, the Vespa, the prosecco, the ceremony and of course the photography. Enrico you have an absolute talent for capturing the most beautiful pictures - I know Mario will be thinking when he reads this...he has taught you everything he knows!!
Our guests have been on cloud 9, everyone and I mean absolutely everyone had a fantastic time. They were blown away with the terrific food and fantastic views the night before at the tattore, everyone raved about the location and hospitality at the various places they stayed (thank you for co-ordinating all this!) and ofcourse they all had a fabulous time at the wedding, no one had every experienced a wedding day quite the same, and for this I thank you, for getting to know Alan and I and making our day an experience of events that were exactly that - a true reflection of us!
From our initial emails 15 months ago through to our arrival in Ravello, you were true to your word, Mario and AnnaMaria we absolutely trusted in you and you didn't let us down, as a bit of a control-freak I think what impressed me most was how easy it was to trust you with decisions and not be disappointed with anything!
So thank you for making our day the most fantastic day of our lives, true to your word. Ravello is quite possibly the most beautiful place in the world! As we discussed we would love to come back and visit on our anniversary next year, but be prepared, we have already been told that we will have an additional 46 people with us!!!!
To any bride considering trusting in Mario and his team in organising your wedding...amazing in every way. Before we started planning our wedding we were given some apparent words of wisdom - don't use the word perfect when planning your wedding as everything wont always go perfectly. I beg to differ. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way.
Grazie mille, Mario, Annamaria & Enrico.
See you next year!

My husband and I got married in Ravello 7 years ago this year with the help a d support of Wagner Tours. Since the day we met we've always kept in touch. That says a lot. This year our visit involved bringing our now 4 year old twin boys, our 10 year old and my mum and dad. What a wonderful welcome we had! It was so lovely to see Mario and his son again (http://www.fotodautore.it/) now a budding photographer! Ravello is still the most, amazing magical place we go too and now we can share the experience with our children it makes it even more special.
Mario it won't be long until we see you again! Lots of love x

Best Wedding Planner for best Day Of Our Life with”
When it comes to planning weddings then look no further than Super Mario. My wife Carly and I got married in Ravello on 24th Sept 2012. We met Mario whilst on a visit to Ravello in January to scope out venues. As soon as he took us to his office that day we were so impressed with his answers and explanations to our questions. Mario had literally every single detail covered from the ceremony, photographers, reception, DJ’s, Cakes, hair, make up, transport for guests and accommodation for guests. If you haven’t used all your energy up after all of that he’ll even organise a day out for you to see the local sights. You couldn’t possibly ask for anymore when planning a wedding.
We got married in the Town Hall garden and had the reception for 33 guests at the Villa Eva. AnnaMaria is Mario’s assistant and she worked so hard in helping an already beautiful venue look absolutely stunning. The food was superb and on a par with any of the top restaurants we’ve ate at in the world. All of our guests have commented saying this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and the service from Wagner Tours and the staff at the Villa Eva was the highlight. Mario is clearly so passionate about his job and this is clear. We already knew this by the time September came but our guests who had not had as much dealing with him up to this point also agreed and couldn’t sing his praises enough, it’s clear he cares about the whole experience for everyone and not just the wedding day itself. Very important when planning an overseas wedding! The fact you can have the Villa Eva until 4am was also a massive bonus as it meant the experience wasn’t over too soon.
Mario suggested we arrange a pizza party to get our guests together and give them a chance to mingle before the wedding. We took his advice here and it was another great idea and was a great night. I would highly recommend this as it really got the guests warmed up and created an even better atmosphere on the wedding day.
Between January and the wedding in September Mario was so helpful answering our e-mails and what struck us the most about his professionalism was just how prompt and thorough his responses were. His attention to detail is superb. We cannot thank Mario enough for such a wonderful day and we’ll be forever in debt to him for that. If you’re looking for a wedding with good fun, good food, good sun, good music and good organisation then Mario and AnnaMaria are the wedding planners for you. If not then maybe you shouldn’t be getting married.

My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic wedding in Ravello. Mario at Wagner Tours arranged nearly everything from the ceremony to the wedding meal and helped with suggesting suitable hotels for us and our guests to stay. He has an office in Ravello, is very experienced and a pleasure to work with. He is a great communicator via e mail and we had every confidence in him. The net result was a fantastic wedding day, a lot was down to Mario at Wagner. PS, his son Enrico did a great job of the photos too!

We were married in May in Ravello. It could not have been organised better. Mario was always there for us, guiding us and helping at every turn. We planned a bus tour for our guests after the wedding; the coach was exactly on time and the tour was a perfect way to end a perfect wedding in a perfect site.
Many many thanks to Mario + Annamaria as well as Enrico our photographer.
If you are looking for a special destination wedding, look no further!

We had a great time at a friends weeding this year in Ravello in May 2012. The B&B that was recommended was great value for the money and the views were stunning over the coast. The food at the wedding was very good and the service provided before and after the wedding excellent - I would throughly recommend Wagner Tours

Hi Mario and Annamaria
We got home a few hours ago and have great memories of the fantastic time we had in Ravello and Italy as a whole.
Just watched Enrico’s reportage and it is great. Please pass on our thanks. We had a good few laughs watching it. What a great day and that was partly down to you. We thank you all at Wagner Tours very much.
Take care and best wishes.

We recently got married in Ravello and had the most amazing day; it was completely beyond our expectations and we really cannot thank Mario, Annamaria and Enrico enough.
We were looking into getting married in Campania and arranged a holiday out to Italy last June to look into it. We had arranged to spend our first 2 days in Ravello and the week we flew out to Italy I found Wagner tours on the internet. I had contacted other wedding planners in Campania who had not responded to me so was pleasantly surprised when Mario responded within minutes of my e-mailing him. We arranged to meet with him the day after our arrival in Ravello and when we met him were completely won over by him as he was so friendly and down to earth and had a lot of experience of arranging weddings. On our return to the UK we contacted Mario and through him arranged a civil ceremony for 29th June 2012 and it really was the best decision we could have made.
Over the next 12 months Mario and Annamaria took out all of the stress of organising a wedding. They contacted us with every stage that needed organising, and any questions were answered quickly. I really did very little in terms of organising the wedding as Mario and Annamaria had every aspect covered and couldn’t have been more helpful.
The wedding itself was absolutely amazing, we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. Ravello is such a beautiful place and Mario and Annamaria arranged a stunning day for us. We were married in the gardens opposite the town hall which has gorgeous views overlooking the sea. From there we walked to the town square where we had a toast before moving onto the reception venue, Villa Eva. Mario was with us throughout the day and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We had also chosen to have Enrico as our photographer and are so glad that we did; he is so talented and we have come back with a lot of really amazing photos.
Thank you so much to Mario, Annamaria and Enrico – we can’t wait to come back and see you next year!

We had decided to make our wedding at ravello because it's a very beautiful little village and very romantic place to organize an intimate wedding.
For helping us in the organization of our wedding, we have decided to trust in Mario CAPUANO and his team...and we have done well!!! Mario and all his team are very professional, they answered at all our questions very quickly. They were very available, always at our listening. Special thanks to Annamaria for helping us in transfert and so on... Mario has helped us in the totally organization of our wedding (administrative papers, location, priest, flowers, hotels, photographs.....). We have dreamed of our wedding during one year, we wanted a perfect wedding...and thanks to Mario CAPUANO and his team...our wedding was more than perfect!!! It was the most beautiful day of our lives!!! Everything was perfect!!! Mario spent all his time to check all the details of this day so important to us!! He's an emotional person who really loves his works. Thanks to Mario we had able to enjoy this day totally!!
We have so many amazing remembers of this day...!!! The church with the flowers decoration was beautiful, the welcome drink with prosecco and snacks was very good, and what to say to the Villa Eva.... It was the perfect location to spend a good time!! The dinner of our wedding was delicious, all our guests congratulated the chef of our wedding dinner and the good wine!! And after that, everybody had danced all the night thanks to the D.J who was great!!

A special thank to Enrico Capuano ( http://www.fotodautore.it ) Our wonderful wedding may have only lasted the day however, thanks to the wonderful Enrico we have hundreds of amazing photos to remind us of it. I loved how much fun he made having them taken, you never really felt like you were posing and he captured some wonderful little moments we didn’t even realise happened. My only problem now is finding room for all the photos I want framed, I need a bigger house! We can’t thank you enough Enrico, you are a very talented addition to the marvellous Wagner Tours team. With Love Beth and Paul Carter xx

Enrico is such the professional and his father Mario needs to watch out!!! hahaha.... Enrico will clamber over walls, steps, trees to get the perfect shot, the perfect light, the perfect angle to enhance the passion of your wedding dream coming true. After the perfect wedding day, we now have the perfect wedding photo's forever our memories of our short time in Enrico & Mario's little village called Ravello. We miss you guys everyday since the 23rd July 2010. We shall return one day..Expresso on us! Much Love Sharon & David x

We had our wedding in Ravello in June 2011, the whole experience was amazing. I have to say that the honnymoon and life has caught so up since then but we have not forgotten about wagnertours. We are still so pleased we chose to have our wedding in such a beautiful place and with the wonderful help and assistance of Mario from the first enquiry to recieving our wonderful photos which can I just say were absolutely fantastic, capsuring such special intimate moments and the children having fun alongside everything that was going on, thankyou particularly to enrico. We cannot thank Mario and helpers enough for making our day magical. Ravello holds such a special place in our hearts, we just cannot wait to return. Thank you so much.

Mario, Annamaria and Enrico. I don’t know how to start to thank you for organizing us the wedding of our dreams. From the first email all our questions were answered and all our worries were put at rest. We always knew we wanted to get married in Italy but were unsure of the destination until I found Mario and Ravello, the search stopped there. Mario's reviews were amazing and Ravello, the most beautiful place in Italy. Mario was so helpful from the get go. Not only did he arrange everything for our wedding but he also arranged accommodation, transfers for most of our guest. Most brides I know found organizing a wedding the most stressful time but I had Mario who was an expert. I had so much fun organizing everything with Mario. Every bride needs and should have Mario.
We got married in the amazing Duomo Di Ravello right in the main square of Ravello and had the reception in Villa Eva, which was out of this world. Every one of our guest thought it was fabulous and it exceed all our expectations. The food at our reception at Villa Eva was amazing. All our guests are still talking about our wedding saying it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to.
If you are considering having your wedding on the Almafi coast – Mario is the person you need, you wont regret it.
Thank you again Mario, Enrico and AnnaMaria we cant wait to go back to Ravello on our anniversary. Happy New Year.

Dear Mario, Enrico and Annamaria I know it's been over a month since the wedding, and I apologize for this email coming to you so late. I have to tell you how lovely our wedding was, and how thankful I am for all of your hard work! Thank you so much for everything! The flowers were perfect, the food amazing (Amazing! Everyone continues to call me to rave about the food!) The dj was exactly what I was hoping for- even my grandmother loved all the song selections during dinner. She kept singing along! Everyone has agreed that this was the best wedding they have ever gone to, and I have you to thank! I love that you had Shannon read the selection aloud during the wedding; I would not have thought of it, but she delivered it perfectly and now it's something Rob and I look back on as one of the best parts. You have my sincere thanks and gratitude for giving me such a lovely day- a true fairy tale wedding. I have had a lot of people ask about where I got married, and I always tell them all about Ravello- and all about you, too! Thank you for all of your attention to detail, and pulling off a day I will remember forever.

From our very first email enquiry to collecting our wedding certificate, our trust in Mario Capuano and his team never wavered. We had reservations about getting married in a foreign country where the language, social customs and legal documentation required were unfamiliar to us. In hindsight any hesitancy now seems ridiculous. All the legal requirements were explained thoroughly and we were reminded by Mario via email of when it was necessary to take certain steps. Every time we emailed Wagner Tours with an enquiry, it was replied to promptly and in great detail by Mario himself or his assistant Annamaria. Upon reflection it is fair to surmise that although our wedding was very small and (hopefully) not demanding in the conventional sense, it was challenging for Mario and his team as it took an exhilarating yet unexpected turn in its last stages of planning.
Quite by coincidence shortly before our wedding took place Italian politician Renato Brunetta arranged his wedding to Titti Giovannoni Ottaviani on the same day as ours in Ravello. Due to there being such a high status politician on location there were police blockades, paparazzi, secret service and even a group of Italian people protesting (peacefully) in the main square of Ravello. Obviously this is very different from the peaceful Ravello any previous or future Bridal party have had or will ever experience. You would think that this coincidence would put a dampener on our day? Maybe if we had been using a different Wedding Planner. Through his intimate knowledge of Ravello, the town’s businesses and local people, Mario and his team could easily pre-empt any issues and manoeuvre our day accordingly. If we had not been so well informed about the possible effects of Brunetta’s nuptials, we would have been completely oblivious to them, as they made no impact on our perfect day whatsoever.
Every precise aspect of the day was thoroughly considered by Mario and his team. Our venue was situated in the Belvedere Principessa di Piemonte which is a stunning public garden hidden away down one of the side streets of Ravello and it is fair to say we had the most spectacular backdrop to our ceremony. We had our intimate reception at the Da Salvatore Restaurant in Ravello, which also benefited from a fantastic view of the coastal towns of Maiori and Minori. We lost count of the amount of courses that featured during our wedding reception, each course was completely different from the last, delectable and beautifully presented. Mario and his team were able to arrange Hydrangeas for our flowers even though they were out of season at the time of our wedding, the arrangements being both beautiful and reasonably priced. In particular I personally loved the way that Mario made sure my husband’s opinions were included in the wedding planning, as too often the groom becomes overlooked in the wake of a typically bride-centric wedding. While I was having my hair and makeup trial with Gerardo and Gisella, my husband was taken to our reception venue with Mario for some male bonding time over some very strong Italian coffee with the chef.
Mario’s son, Enrico Capuano, was given the responsibility of looking after my Mother and I, before the ceremony. Although a young man, Enrico was very intuitive to my needs as a bride, making a bottle of water appear as if from nowhere just before the ceremony when my mouth suddenly went dry and I was worried I would not be able to say my vows. Due to the small number of guests at our intimate wedding (just 2 witnesses!) my husband and I booked not only Enrico Capuano’s services for the day but also Professional Photographer Enzo Campitelli’s, to ensure a large quantity of photographs. Enrico’s reluctance to call himself a Professional Photographer is more modesty than accuracy. What he may lack in extensive experience he more than makes up for in enthusiasm and his fresh perspective upon the concept of photography achieved some beautiful experimental, original photographs. Needless to say, the quality of both photographers’ work was excellent and we were delighted with the results. We also hired another member of Mario’s team, Gennaro Abete, to record a wedding video which was beautifully shot and edited with both contemporary and classic love songs.
My husband and I will never forget our perfect day in Ravello and we cannot thank Mario Capuano and his team at Wagner Tours enough for offering their unrivalled talents to make all of our wedding dreams come true!

We had our wedding in Ravello on September 21st through Wagner and everything you've heard is true. Ravello is just lovely. It has breathtakingly beautiful views, friendly locals and amazing food, you really couldn't ask for more. Mario and Anna Maria are two of the most dedicated people we have ever met who obviously enjoy and take great pride in what they do. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and went without a single hitch. As well as organising the wedding they helped us arrange accommodation, day trips, transportation... nothing was too much trouble and all of our guests had an absolutely wonderful time. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for making our day so special. Jemma & Aaron. Xx

Dear Mario , Annamaria and Enrico
Where do I start?!!
We are just back to Ireland after our honeymoon and I had to write to say a huge huge thank you to you both from the bottom of my heart!! The wedding far exceeded any of my hopes and dreams - everything went so perfectly - myself and Neil couldn't have been happier!
Thank you so much for all the patience, hard work and effort that you put into our big day. Our guests are still contacting us and saying how wonderful everything was and that it was the best wedding they have been at!!
I'm so sorry that I didn't get a chance to call into the office to say thank you in person before we left Ravello. It was very hectic with all the guests and trying to say goodbye to everyone - I really wanted to thank you personally! And hopefully I can do that if we come back to Ravello for our anniversary!!
I will definitely post up a BRILLIANT review on tripadvisor.com
You were super Mario and completely delivered on everything - thank you so much!!
Best of luck with the rest of the weddings happening this year!
Best wishes,
Nikki and Neil ;-) - wedding 9 September 2011

I will keep this short as we will be repeating what every other couple has said on here!! Not only was our Wedding day (Sept 1st 2011) the best day of our lives the entire week was AMAZING!. I can honestly say we are still buzzing and I think it will continue for some time to come. We had 45 guests who came to Ravello from Ireland and England. From the moment we arrived until the day we left we laughed, cried(good tears!) had amazing food, drinks together every night in the main square, relaxed by the Pool and had the best time of our lives. Ravello is the most fabulous location for a wedding. The surroundings, the local people, hotels, B&B's, restaurants etc are so welcoming and cannot do enough for you. Mario, AnnaMaria and the team at Wagner tours were an absolute pleasure to deal with, I have about a thousand emails back and forth over a year all answered the same day if not within minutes. I have never known service like it an I am going to miss our weekly (sometimes daily!) banter!
We wanted a small, simple intimate wedding as neither of us like being centre of attention. Having a weeks holiday with family and close friends and getting married in the middle of it was a dream come through. We never imagined it could be so good, it exceeded all of our expectations and more. We would do it again tommorrow no problems. Do not hesitate in booking your wedding with Wagner Tours, they will do everything to make sure you have the day you want to have and you can kick back relax and enjoy the best time of your life with no worries! Thanks Wagner Tours, we will see you all for our annual visit next September!!

We can’t thank Mario and his team from Wagner tours enough for the amazing day they created for us – it really was the best day of our lives, we had 36 guests in total [not a massive wedding] each and every one of them said ours was the best wedding they have ever been to – the day flowed perfectly- we asked to be married at 4pm in the gardens near the town hall and from this point on we felt like we were superstars, every different part of the wedding was perfectly planned whilst being flexible around our individual needs – the ceremony was brilliant really relaxed and fun, we then walked to the main square with our guitar and mandolin play [who were brilliant] our guests really enjoyed the toast in the square requesting songs from the musicians enjoying the drinks and snacks – we then walked up-to Villa Eva which, in all honesty is one of the most beautiful places I ever been – we were treated to some more canopes and champagne and I personally loved this part just relaxing, enjoying the sunset sipping champagne and talking with our guests prior to the most amazing meal ever – the food truly is stunning and not one of our guests could believe this was all true. After the speeches we partied until the small hours – the DJ was brilliant – we were a little worried about the DJ maybe playing dodgy music so we gave him a list of songs – he stuck to them and used his experience to mix our songs to create an amazing atmosphere!! Everyone who was brought to help at our wedding deserves credit – Anna Maria is lovely and very very helpful, Enrico is a fantastic photographer and a really nice guy then Enzo the photographer is very talented with his team of helpers!! The guitarist and mandolin player were brilliant to say the least,the waiters at the Villa were fantastic true gentlemen and very good at their jobs, the chefs were brilliant [although we never met!] the florist is a true artist as are the make-up and hair stylists my wife used and also the staff at the bar in the main square – all really nice guy’s…… and of course Mario – what an amazing man, he is a truly a lovely man with a passion for creating your special day – nothing is too much for him and we really can’t recommend Wagner Tours and Mario enough – if you are thinking of getting married in Ravello/Italy then please just email Mario and his speedy response will highlight how good this guy is – ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I have just returned from Ravello and our amazing Wedding Day organised by Wagner Tours. It is always a bit scary organising your wedding day in another country and having people you have never met organise it for you - but believe me if there are people you can trust to do this and put your mind at ease it is Anna-Maria and Mario! Whether you have 20 guests or 200, they understand that your wedding day is very important to you and they will do all they can to make your dreams come true.

When they advise you on something it is based on experience so please listen to them they know what they are talking about and are talking with your best interests. Our day was so amazing and memorable and Mario and Anna-Maria are not only very hard working and very good at what they do, but they are also lovely people too and will always put you at ease with their passion for what they do! The words Thank you do not seem enough to say to them for all their hard work and friendliness towards us from the second we emailed a year and half ago right up until arriving in Ravello and our Wedding Day. Thank you for making our dream day come true, and it is a day we and our guests will never forget!! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you trust Wagner Tours to oragnise your day - trust me you will be missing out on a truely stunning location, wonderful people and the most memorable day if you don't! x

Mario Capuano, Annamaria Stainai and Enrico Capuano and the team organised our wedding (5 Aug 2011) in Ravello, Villa Evia. Not only did we have the most memorable wedding, but so did our guests. No matter what our needs were for our special day, they were excecuted with "no problems". The day totally exceeded our expectations and my only wish is that I could relive the whole experience again. Like everyone else who has experienced the magic of Wagner Tours, we are eternally grateful for giving us the most special, beautiful, flauless wedding. We had 9 two year olds at our wedding so I had loads of special request about meals, shade,nannies etc and all were met with no fuss. If you are thinking about a wedding abroad, just go to Ravello, see the stunning location and meet the wonderful team and I guarentee you will never look back. How can you not fall in love all over again in a place like Ravello? Thank you Mario,Annamaria and Enrico and everyone else who made our day so spectacular! What a great job you have making so many dreams come true.

We came across Mario with Wagner Tours while trying to plan our destination wedding in Ravello, Italy; and we are sure glad we did! From start to finish, he planned the most beautiful wedding that we could have ever imagined. Mario listened to what we were looking for and had every detail covered. He was extremely quick to respond to any question or concern, and soon as we hired him to plan our wedding, we were able to relax, knowing that he was taking care of everything. His prices were also VERY reasonable and we remained exactly within his proposed budget!
Our wedding and reception dinner took place at Da Tatore Restaurant. The terrace was set up so beautifully and the guitar and mandolin players really added a nice touch. While the terrace was being reset for dinner, we walked out to the town square where we had a champagne toast and a chance to take pictures around the town of Ravello. I was a little hesitant about being a focus of attention in the piazza but it ended up being a lot of fun and a chance to relax before dinner. (Walking as a group out to the piazza kind of felt like a scene out of The Godfather.)
We returned to the restaurant for dinner where we had the most amazing meal ever! We lost count of the number of courses and each one was better than the previous. The presentation of each course looked like something from a five star restaurant. Our wedding cake was the most delicious cake we have ever tasted, we wish we could have taken some home!
Check out pics of Mario's weddings on his website, www.wagnertours.it or Enrico's photos on www.fotodautore.it
Thank you , Mario , Enrico, Annmaria for a night that we will never forget. We can't wait to visit the Amalfi coast again!

Back in January I wrote a review about my experience so far with Wagner tours planning my wedding. On June 11th we finally had our wedding day and it couldn't have been more perfect.
On arrival in Ravello we were taking photo's of our 'sign' on the Wagner tours office door when Anna Marie came straight out to welcome us shortly followed by Mario. They had arranged for me to have my hair trial later that day and Mario gave us all the instructions we needed to finalise things before the wedding. They were both wonderful and helped us settle in with a lovely welcome.
The next couple of days were a breeze, Mario took us to the town hall for our declaration, the florist and even for a cup of tea! On Friday when our family arrived, we were waiting by the road where we expected them to turn up when Mario came flying up next to us on his scooter. He had found them being dropped off down the road and then left to organise the hotel to pick up all the luggage. We hadn't even told him when and where our family where getting there so I don't know how he found them, he knows everything!
The Wedding day itself was a dream. Everything ran like clockwork and the food at the Villa Eva is still being talked about today. Everyone loved Mario and commented on the lovely personal touch he added to the ceremony.
We also went home with a CD of the most amazing photo's. Enrico is worth every penny and is obviously a star wedding planner in the making.
I know it has all been said before and I wish I could add something new to the reviews and I am happy to give any advice to anyone wanting anything specific but all I can say is you won't regret hiring Wagner Tours for a second, every member of the team is wonderful and nothing is to much trouble.
Don't over-think things, just trust Mario and your day will be perfect.

We first met Mario in October 2009 when we visited Ravello for the first time. As soon as we met him we instantly felt at ease and after talking with him for half an hour were convinced he could deliver the wedding of our dreams.
My line of work is event management but could certainly not of organised our wedding with the detail and passion Mario has. From accommodation booking, legalities, table settings and fine details - nothing was a bother for Mario and Anna Marie.
Enrico is also a credit to this business. Polite and excellent at photography! The entire team made our stay and wedding the best it could have been.
We have had noting but praise from our guests who all thoughly enjoyed the wedding and the setting and also are now friends with Mario. He is a genuine man with passion for his job - he goes beyond his duties to ensure every detail is perfect and we are now happy to call him our friend.
We cannot thank you all enough for making our day soo special - it was just beautiful!!!
Lots of Love Gemma and Chris xxxx

Alan and I married 3 weeks ago on the 6th June, in beautiful Ravello, but planning started a year ago when we met Mario and Ann Marie. That was just the beginning of my fairy tale wedding. Everything that we could have hoped for came true. Nothing that we asked Mario to do, was to much trouble, from organising accommodation for our family and friends . to making sure that my bouquet was perfect. Thank you so much to Mario, and everyone involved in making our day so memorable and perfect, we could never thank you enough. To anyone thinking of getting marred in Ravello let Mario and Ann Marie organise it, you wont be sorry they are the best. There attention to detail and quick response to emails made everything so easy we were so relaxed from the moment we arrived with all our family and friends. Thank you thank you thank you Sue and Alan Howitt

Out of this world!!!
My wife and I were married on 30th May and it was without a doubt the best day of our entire lives, it was everything we'd dreamt of and more. We decided to book Mario as our wedding planner back in June last year from reading so many good reviews on trip advisor and Wagner tours website. We had done our research and from the outset we knew we wanted to go with Mario. Every email was received and responded to immediately with the list of wedding packages, hotel, menus and his recommendations for all. We were instantly put at ease and this was the sign of things to come. Everything was made so easy and relaxed throughout, we thought organising a wedding would be stressful but we enjoyed every minute! Of course we were anxious about planning a wedding via email but Mario was absolutely fantastic throughout all of our email correspondence and put our minds at ease.
When we arrived in Naples our transfer was awaiting us and all our guests, we were driven to Ravello on a wonderful route showing the most gorgeous scenery, it was like something from the movies and already everyone was excited and spirits were high. One thing I must advise is take Mario's advice on where things are located as a couple of our guests decided to find their own accommodation in places they thought were near by but what they didnt realise till they arrived was how far away they were because they had to get taxis and buses back to their hotels which was a shame as there are plenty to chose from. The rest of our guests booked up at one hotel together and it was nice for them to be so close to one another and talk to each other from their balconies.
They day before the wedding was a breeze, we met Mario to finalise and pay the balance, made a few decisions about layouts, popped down the road to see the florist and then within the hour Mario said "all done" and it was as simple as that! The wedding was magical... the ceremony was laid out beautifully, it all went perfectly. We wrote our own vowels that were read out, we had a toast in the main square after walking through the village with the guitar and mandolin players, went off to have our pictures taken in the gorgeous villas and cobble streets came back to the reception area and sat down for the most memorable meal ever, and that was just the food! My mouth is watering as I write this. It was just amazing and what a beautiful place. The photos were amazing, as well as a professional photographer we had Mario's son Enrico who took the most amazing photos that were not only stunning but really showed mine and Rachael's true character. There are some real comedy classics that are our favourites, he was also a pleasure to work with and we enjoyed bumping into him during our stay.
We couldn't believe the value of what we got for our money with wagner tours and the quality of everything they provided. From the moment we met Mario and Anna-Maria in the office they soon became part of the family, we all got on like a house on fire and our guests and family often popped in to catch up with them and say hello. Nothing was ever a problem and they both went out of their way to make not only our wedding and honeymoon special but our guest holidays too. They were fun, warm and caring and we hope to keep in touch and visit them in the near future.

We got married in Ravello on the 20th May this year, I really don’t think I will be able to put into words how much of a fairytale it truly was. I begun looking for places to get married back in January 2010, after hours of looking on the internet at different venues and contacting wedding co-ordinators who were secretive and not very helpful, I found reviews for Wagner tours and got in touch with Mario. From the first e mails I knew Mario was going to be every bit as fab as his reviews. Nothing is too much trouble. After a year of Planning and arranging we are in Ravello with our 60 guests, who Wagner tours had booked accommodation and transfers for the whole group without any problems or mistakes. Our whole wedding party was made to feel very special whilst we were in the town, all the restaurants we visited were lovely with service to match. Our wedding day was so perfect and special and that is down to the amazing people at Wagner tours Annamaria works so hard behind the scenes for the wedding but if you need anything during your stay in Ravello is there to help always in such a kind and friendly manner. Enrico’s pictures are beautiful which you can see on the website, such lovely moments captured. Enzo and his son, who took the official pictures of the day. Autoro and Family who looked after us throughout our stay, but also on the day for our drinks in the square. All the staff at Villa Eva could not have been more attentive to our needs. The 6 courses of beautiful food were the most delicious wedding food I have tasted with many of the guests also commenting on this. Now to Mario or super Mario as my now husband calls him. Any wedding planner that has been planning weddings for 18 years and more than 60 a year that still has so much passion and enjoyment time after time deserves a medal. As the wedding couple Mario makes you feel like you are the only wedding he is arranging and even if he has 100 other things to be doing nothing is too much trouble ever. He stays with you throughout the whole day and even at 4am in the morning still looks as fresh as 4pm in the afternoon. We have been home for a week now we have seen lots of our guests who attended all of them have said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Ravello will be seeing many of us again. We are already planning a return trip for next year. Mario and team you are truly fantastic we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day so perfect and special for John and I.

One year ago on June 11th 2010 myself and my husband had the most incredible day of lives in Ravello! This was the day we got married in this fantastic place. Mario, Ann Marie and Enrico could not have done more for us, every detail was so precise and I actually cannot find words to descibe how beautiful it was. We got married in the beautiful Santa Maria Church followed by a reception in the Villa Eva. The views were out of this world, the food incredible and the organisation was without fault.
All of our guests mentioned that it was the best wedding they ever attended and we still wish we could relive that incredible day! It literally was a dream come true.
Thank you once again to Mario for all your help from the first day that we contacted you until the day we left Ravello, to Anne Marie for all her kindness and calmness on the day of the wedding and to Enrico for the fantastic pictures that we treasure!

I visited Ravello in 2009 and completely fell in love with it. When my boyfriend proposed last year I had my heart set on marrying there but assumed it would be quite complicated.
I emailed several wedding planners in the region, most of who got back to me with a generic wedding guide or overview of Italy after about a week. Except Mario. Within 2 hours I had all the information on what documents I would need when and where I need to file them, shortly followed by venue options, reception sites, basically everything I needed to get going.
Needless to say I have chosen Mario to organise my wedding and I have not been disappointed. In October 2010 we decided to visit Ravello at short notice and turned up at Wagner Tours offices unannounced. Mario was wonderful; he introduced us to his team and then took us for a tour of Ravello, including a meeting with the photographer.
I'm obsessively organised and none of my friends can believe how relaxed I am about such a big event, but I really feel like we're in safe hands.
I will update this after the big day!

We got married in Ravello on 29th July 2010 and chose Wagner Tours as our 'wedding planners' From the first e-mail & speedy response from Mario I knew I was in safe hands. Our wedding was fantastic, relatives still talk about it now & I hope for years to come. Every last request & detail was catered for by Mario & Anna maria in the office, nothing was too much trouble, they were polite, fast, honest, trustworthy & fun.
I now look back on our wedding with fondness, pride & a little sadness that it came & went so quickly. I can't wait to return to Ravello again & again.
If you're thinking of getting married in or around Ravello just e-mail Wagner Tours they will deliver I promise.

We got married in Ravello with the help of the lovely Mario and Annamaria from Wagner tours on 25th August 2010,It was the best day of our lives,completely 'fairytale' was one comment we recieved from our guests.
We found Wagner tours on the internet and were quite dubious at first but from the very first email we sent (which was replied to immediately!) we were reassured that we were making the right choice.We went out to visit Mario and look at the venues on offer, we fell in love with Ravello and liked the personal service we received with Wagner tours.Throughout the 18 months of planning,everything was made so easy,every email responded to quickly,any request we had was no problem,our budget was quite small but in no way did we feel pressured to spend more money and on the day it certainly didnt feel like a budget wedding!
The flowers were beautiful , the town hall was stunning,the ceremony was personal and relaxed,guitar and mandolin players really helped to set the tone and the meal at ristorante Salvatore is the best food we had all our holiday (we even ate at Caruso!)All our guests commented it was one of the best meals they had eaten.The service at the Salvatore was first class too,Thank you Pino for your kind hospitality!
We had photos by Marios son -Enrico, what a talented young man,nobody can believe a 16 year old took our photos, they are so stunning and for such a reasonable price compared to the UK.
What else can i say? we wouldnt change a thing about our perfect wedding and we are so glad we chose Wagner tours to plan it.We cant wait to go back, Ravello is a special place we hope to return many times.
Thank you so so much Mario,Annamaria, Enrico,Enzo,Pino and everyone involved in planning our special day!

We got married in Ravello on 1st September 2010 and it was the stuff of fairytales even if I do say so myself. Ravello itself is of course stunning and the setting hopelessly romantic but the fact that the day went so smoothly has to be down to the efficiency of Mario, Anna-Maria and the staff at Villa Maria and Villa Eva. We first visited Ravello a year before and met with a few different wedding planners, the standard of all we met was very good but it was Mario's passion, sense of humour and that he is based in Ravello and knows everyone there that lead us to pick Wagner Tours and it proved to be the right choice. The town hall was beautifully decorated and the toast in the square was a brilliant idea. We felt like celebrities with all the locals gathered round applauding and cheering. The procession through the town was great fun and the guitar and mandolin player had us all dancing in the streets. Villa Eva was as beautiful as ever and the food was absolutely superb, many of our guests commenting that it was the best wedding food they have ever eaten. After dinner the party carried on till the small hours of the morning and Mario stayed with us throughout (something you won’t get from other wedding planners) and whilst I know he was desperate to go home by 4 am knowing he was there in case we needed anything was very reassuring.
I can wholly recommend Ravello as a wedding destination and if you want a complete service from the very start to the very end you can’t go wrong with Mario and the Wagner Tours team.

Stunning, elegant, Fairytale, Just a few words to describe our recent wedding organised by the knowledgable and comical Mario of Wagner Tours in Ravello.
Mario is certainly the man in the know. He knows everyone and everything regarding weddings in Ravello. From the basics, such as artistic florists and profesional musicians, to the consulate staff in Naples... always handy.He is completely passionate about his role and is absolutely dedicated to ensure you have the most perfect day, as we did.
Mario also became our translator during the ceremony which he made warm, lighthearted and funny, which our guests loved.
I have to admit to being extemely particular, but was not disappointed, as every detail had been considered. We did our own research and found Mario to have chosen the best Florists and musicians, we couldn't have chosen better ourselves.
Of course we thought this was the most incredible day... it was our wedding day, but all 24 of our guests could not stop talking about what a stunning and enjoyable wedding it was.......I can not recommend this location and of course Mario and his team enough.

We loved our wedding and time in beautiful Ravello so much that we are going back this week to celebrate our first wedding anniversary - and to call in and say hi to the wonderful Mario and Anna Marie. We got married on September 11 last year and our friends and family are still talking about how amazing a time they had and it is all thanks to Mario and Anna Marie - and the beautiful location of course. After weeks of searching for wedding planners that could help us with our wedding in Italy we came across Wagner Tours and immediately knew that Mario was the perfect person! He answered all our email queries within minutes and forwarded us loads of information about Ravello and all the different venues before we even committed to booking with him. We decided to visit Ravello to see if it was as beautiful as the pictures and immediately fell in love with it. We called into Wagner Tours unannounced and Mario dropped everything to show us around the different locations.
We stayed in Ravello for a week for our wedding and from the moment we arrived Mario and his team made us and all our guests feel very welcome. Mario and Anna Marie were not just there on our wedding day they were there to help throughout our whole holiday. Anna Marie even packaged and posted my wedding dress back home for me!
We really can't praise Wagner Tours enough - and I'm not easily pleased! Mario and Anna Marie are professional, hard-working, friendly and go above and beyond the call of duty. They really throw themselves into making every wedding special and different for the couples. We chose Salvatore restaurant to have our wedding party for 50 guests. The food was delicious and the service was really first class. Nothing was too much hassle. We are hoping to have our anniversary dinner there this weekend!!! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ravello and Wagner Tours for anyone who wants a perfect wedding. Mario and Anna Marie - See you at the weekend :) Deborah and Jonathan x

We got married in June 2010 at Villa Eva and cannot speak highly enough about Mario, his team, Ravello and Villa Eva (the venue we selected with Mario). Mario was a pleasure to deal with over the year we prepared our wedding plans with him (done completely via email) and even more so when we met him in person in Ravello. Ravello and Villa Eva are magical places which really need to be seen to be believed, perfect for the perfect wedding, there are probably few views in the world that can compare to looking down on the Amalfi coastline from up there.
The running of our Wedding was absolutely first rate, every little detail was just 'the best' from the table decorations to the dressing of the town hall. The bride works for a premier hotel chain in the UK and has never seen service delivery of the quality of Mario and his team at Villa Eva, every one of our guests commented on it also as the best wedding they have ever been to.
If you are even slightly worried about doing a wedding in Italy, don't be, Mario has a genuine love for what he does, it is more that just his work, you can see it in all that he does and you'll be blown away by the final results.
Our photos on Mario's book of dreams are below, where you can see examples of other weddings also;

Thank you Mario, Enrico and Anne Marie you guys have given us a memory that will last a lifetime, we look forward to seeing you again when we next visit Ravello.

We were recently married on the 23rd July 2010 with Mario from Wagner Tours. Being completely honest. Besides marrying my hubby, using Wagner Tours to arrange our wedding was the best descision we have ever made. Eveything went without a hitch, everything Mario touches seems to turn into gold and he makes the day and days running up to your wedding just easy, relaxed and smooth...of course he has great help from an amazing Signora called AnnaMaria who he works with at Wagner Tours. Between Mario & AnnaMaria they have fantastic english, so don't worry about being misunderstood.
From day one of contact Mario was 100 percent there for us. All of our guests even commented on how fast he replied to their emails when enquiring about hotels etc.
Mario has been planning weddings on the Amalfi Coast for 18yrs now and his experience shines right through no stone left un turned when it comes to sorting things out.
Both AnnaMaria & Mario are loved by everyone of the locals in Ravello and therefore their professional touch is carried through all the things a girl needs on her wedding day.
Carmella met us to talk about our flowers and with her husband Armando they took our wishes n ideas and came back with floral arrangements that were so stunning my groom cried when he popped up to the Villa Eva a few hours before we were to say I do.
Gerrado was the man to put together an absolute masterpiece with my hair... he asked what i would like n i replied Vogue.... whatever that meant, but i got it and guests are still talking about how fantastic my hair was almost 3 weeks later.
We were given 1027 photos the day after our wedding (how quick ) that were taken by both Mario & his Son Enrico... i believe i can upload some to this review so hopefully i will work it out so you can see for yaself the talents these guys have.
Enrico is so lovely and such a nice guy who has a great future ahead of him and i will just take this opportunity to wish him all the success in the world and hopefully he will continue to make many bride n Grooms happy with his talents.
Now i really could go on and on and i probably will, even our guests have been amazed by Mario's genius work. 3 of our male guests who have no interest in getting married even turned to their girlfriends during their stay in Ravello and said that they were inspired by our wedding and could see a hope for themselves taking the same steps we did.
I will finish up on just saying that every last little tiny tiny detail we asked for, was done... no problemo. Done with professionalism, kindness, loyalty, honesty and a touch of mario magic. We were made to feel like real vip's for the entire week we were there by all of the lovely people we met and worked for us. The staff in the Villa Eva are brilliant and the food was gorgeous. We had so much food, plate after plate i didn't want to get full because then i was going to have to stop eating it I really would recommend the sea Bass our guests devoured it. A huge thank you to all the staff up in the Villa Eva and for letting us party til 4am, Dj still rocking out the tunes. Now i must add that the Dj seems a bit expensive in the beginning but..... he plays for twice as long as a dj back home here in Ireland and you provide him with a list as long as you like full of all the songs you want him to play and he does exactly that. We danced we danced and we danced, when our guests ran up to as for a song it was no problem he played it for them and kept our dance floor full all night long as Lionel Richie once said.
Both of us feel we have left Ravello but taken away some lovely friend and perfect memories. I wouldn't have wanted our wedding day any other way it was just Magical.
Mario, AnnaMaria, Enrico, Enzo, Gerrado, Autoro, Luigi, Carmella & Armando we are forever in your debt and thank you just doesn't seem to be enough to express how grateful we really are for helping us have such a stunning & perfect wedding day in Ravello.
We really look forward to seeing everyone again soon as we love the people of Ravello.
I permit everything travellers to contact me etc.
Many thanks and i hope you have more luck than i did... talking of luck.. how is Lucky?
We miss you all already see ya soon
Much love

We got married on the 14th July 2010 and the day was perfect all due to the legendary Mario and Annamaria. Spectacular surroundings, great weather, amazing food and our close friends and family, what more could you ask for? Everything about the day was unbelievable and it really was something out of a fairytale. Thanks to everyone who contributed to our special day!

As the father of the bride I could not have wished for anything better than what was provided. Everything was first class from start to finish. A 5 star service does not do it justice. It was better than that!

Mario and Annamaria. We want to take this opportunity to say thank you for making our day so special. Looking back it truly was amazing and cant think of a more beautiful place to get married. Mario, having you there all day made me feel very special and your relxed attitude truly shows that this is a passion you love. Annamaria thank you so much for helping us with last minute preparations, everything is no problem with you. Anyone getting married in this part of the world should definitely use your services. With the family connection we look forward to see you every year. Molte grazie e ci vediamo presto un bacio Gemma xxxxxx

I will find it very difficult to convey just how fantastic Mario is at planning weddings in Ravello. His experience and local knowledge meant that our day couldn't have been more perfect. Every detail had been discussed via email prior allowing us to relax and enjoy the beautiful village from the moment we arrived. I am a natural control freak and worrier, but Mario commented that we were very laid back and easy to work with. I'm sure that this is because he had put in nearly a year of hard work and knew exactly what we wanted, and executed it with such ease that we were just allowed to enjoy ourselves. He even told us he had stopped the Icelandic volcano just for us (I think I might believe him!) We felt like superstars with all the attention and Mario made sure we got excellent pictures with an old Fiat parked adjacent to the church (by chance?), a trip to the Villa Rufalo, the Villa Eva roof terrace and the beautiful terrace of the Villa Maria. Our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and also the best meal they had eaten (thanks to the Villa Maria staff). The florist was marvelous as was Enzo the photographer and Enrico the junior planner (his photos are amazing), not forgetting lovely Anna Maria and Father John the Priest. I feel like I left new friends behind and can't wait to go back. Thanks on behalf of both of us (and our guests) Katie and Steve

What can I say, where can I start?. From the first email to Mario I felt that I had found a friend, and a fantastic wedding planner! He is organised, funny and quick to reply to emails - which is very reassuring to a bride planning her wedding abroad. Ravello was the most romantic setting. Everything was more than I could have expected, "the pictures say it all". To be here with family & friends was the best day and one I will never forget. If you want to get married in Ravello then email Mario - he will take all the stress away and give you a day to remember and cherish too!!

Hi Mario,Anna Maria and Enzo,
I cannot thank you enough for everything you did in organising our wedding. It was the most fantastic day ever and everything was more perfect and beautiful than we ever could have imagined. Thank you also for the beautiful pictures. Enzo - they are absolutely stunning. We all LOVE the album and you have captured the day brilliantly. We will treasure it forever. The video is also fantastic and we have enjoyed watching it many times already (only had it 1 day!). The music and the editing is just fantastic. Everything was done so discreetly on the day that I worried you hadn't captured the magic of the day. The reality is it has been captured so naturally and even better than we ever could have dreamed of. Thank you also to the florist, the flowers were stunning. Although Gary Lineker got married on the same day we felt very much the celebrities of that day in Ravello!
I actually can't put into words how delighted we are. THANK YOU THANK YOU! Nothing will come close to how we felt that day.
You are all geniuses!
Lots & lots of love

Mario has been a superb help. Mario is very organised, professional and full of good advice, he's made my wedding so easy and enjoyable to organise. I can't wait to get married in Ravello.

Mario and Annamaria - Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special and so much better than we expected (and we had high expectations). Everything was amazing. You saw to every detail, but were willing to incorporate all of the personal details that we wanted to make the day ours. Not only did you see to the wedding, but took care of all of our guests, including running around for all of the props for the groom's father's speech. You clearly went above and beyond. We couldn't be happier, and are so pleased we decided to go with your service. We would recommend you to everyone looking for a perfect Italian wedding.

Dear Mario,
On behalf of my wife, Fiona, and I, we would like to thank you most sincerely for all the organisation you put into Deborah and Paul’s recent wedding in Ravello. Your attention to detail was second to none, and we fully appreciate how you took the burden off Deborah’s shoulders, and onto your own.
Everything about the day was special; thanks in no small way to your hard work. Not only that, but everybody in the party thoroughly enjoyed the days leading up to the important day, and also the few days afterwards.
As the father of the bride, it gives me great pleasure to endorse you as a fantastic Wedding Planner, and you are more than welcome to quote me on your website.
We are also very grateful for the photos you took – a truly wonderful gift to Deborah and Paul, which will help to cherish the memories of such a special time in Italy.
Warmest regards,
Patrick O’Sullivan

We came home to Thank you cards from our guests!!!!! that's how utterly fantastic everything was. We feel as though we have made friends with so many locals and all because of one man and his team. I am not one to recommend lightly, in fact, it takes a lot to impress me, but Mario blew me away. His dedication and attention to detail is second to none, he makes everything possible and has created the most magical time imaginable. We had welcome cocktails at Vino Notte, spectacular reception at Villa Eva, Pizza and Pasta night at Salvatore, Sky lanterns, Champagne reception in the square with music and chatting in the square in the late evenings with our guests and new friends!!!! Mario, Annamarie & Enrico, thank you so much for making our time in Ravello so special, we look forward to seeing you all again next year for our anniversary. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Many thanks,

Well what can we say?? Words can not describe how perfect our wedding was! The venue Villa Eva was stunning, the flowers were perfect, the photograpy crew made everyone feel at ease and captured all the special moments from our incredible day, the strolling minstrels added that extra special touch of magic and the disco was excellent!!! However, none of this would have been possible without Mario (undoubtedly the best wedding planner on the Amalfi coast!!) and his team, especially Annamarie. From the very first contact with Mario he was always quick at answering any query (and pre-bridal worries- which there were many!!) and used his experience to help us plan the perfect day, which will be remembered by us and our guests for years to come. Thanks again Mario for giving us a perfect fairy-tale wedding. love Melissa and Jay x

Thank you so much Mario and all your team/family for the most amazing day of our lives,we could not have asked for a more special day and if we could get married again we would do it in Ravello with you, Mario every time!!!from the very first correspondence you were friendly, efficient, reassuring and calming which was much needed for me!!!!(I am a worrier)!!You turned our requests into reality with ease and gave us ideas we would have never dreamt of. As Carmel (below) comments who we met after their wedding and before ours, our day too was so easy and hassle free, you just made us feel like we could enjoy our holiday and the day. We will cherish the memories of the 5th of August forever, the ceremony, the drinks in the square, Villa Eva which is stunning, the delicious food and fantastic disco. The wedding day went way beyond our expectations in every way for example:the details to the table decorations, the mandolin players, the gentle coaxing of our family and the photography by you and your son is super and we continue to look at photos all the time!!!We will come back to see you, I will be recommending you to everyone!!!!!!!!Lots of love Jennie, thank you so much!!!
P.S I am certain that no other wedding planner would go to that extra personal mile for you.
Lots of love Jennie and Micheal

Thank you Mario for helping our wedding to be beautiful and stress free! We both had the best day of our lives! Thank you! Janet and Rob xx
26 August 2009
Mario and Annamaria we would like to thank you both for helping us create a
wedding that was out
of this world - where do we begin? Well from the start we knew that we
picked the right wedding
planner as every attention to detail was given. From the very first email
reply to the last you
were always there - very prompt and detailed emails would fly to and fro!
You helped us organise
all the paperwork to run smoothly which was a great help. Anything extra
that we needed you were
there with ideas and a helping hand. Even the night before the wedding Hotel
Giordano was just an
amazing place to share a few drinks with friends and family at the pool by
candlelight.We just
could not have asked for more!
On the day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly and you took so much
extra pressure off
ourselves! From Church organising all the guests in the church, taking extra
photos yourself, being
there every step of the ceremony to the wonderful mandolin players which was
a really special touch
- they were amazing, to the extra detail of the toast in the main square
which was brilliant for
people to take a breather while we got photos taken. From there the walk up
to Villa Eva with the
mandolin players leading the way with yourself and all the guests following
and wow what a view
when we got to the Villa Eva - we were so glad we did not see the reception
before the big day as
it was worth the surprise. The detail of all the tables - menus, table
plans, flowers, reception
drinks, music it felt all like a dream. We felt like film stars! Mario and
Annamaria you were just
fantastic to work with and we did have great laughs with you both along the
way. If we were to go
back in time we would have the same wedding all over again there is nothing
we would have changed.
Thanks again for everything. You both helped created an extra special day
that we will always
remember.
Love Alma & David xx

Mario is prompt in responding to requests for information on marriage in Italy. He provided all the necessary instructions for us to have our paperwork prepared and sent overseas. He made planning easy, as he did it all! The arrangements were made with the Town Hall, photographer, florist, meals, all we had to do was get dressed and attend our wedding. Everything was beautiful, Ravello is breathtaking with so many opportunities for wonderful photographs. The meal was delicious, each course more delightful and finishing with a spectacular cake. We felt like celebrities walking through the square having so much attention lavished on us. We were sincerely relaxed and enjoyed our day tremendously. Thanks Mario!

27 July 2009
I attended the wedding of some friends, Jen and Dave, getting married in Ravello and it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to. Just a brilliant location, with beautiful scenery: the whole day, from the wedding ceremony to drinks after, to the evening reception was brilliant. We stayed at a hotel out of town called 'Aquabonna' (the good spring) as we hired a car and wanted a place with parking. Aquabonna was beautiful place, away from hustle and bustle of Ravello intself with a very charming and genuine owner (who makes the best marmalade I have ever had!)
26 July 2009
Hi Mario and Anna Maria. Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so special. Any of our worries and concerns were dealt with quickly and calmly. The restaurant at the Salvatore was magical and the food superb. The photos Mario and Enrico took were great - really capturing the moment. It was everything we hoped for and more.
26 July 2009
Thank you Super Mario for such a fairytale wedding we could not have done it without you. All our guests from Ireland agreed it was the best wedding that they have gone to. Thank you for all you have done for us. You where from start to finish. We really appreciate it and you made us feel like superstars. Alma and David

We are in the flow of planning our wedding for July 2010 and Cannot express how brillant Mario and his team are. After meeting with Mario in Ravello back in March this year, everything just fell into place. He shows you everything and introduces you to all the people you need to meet. Everyone is so friendly and an expert in their own right. Mario and his team don't leave you waiting days for answers they provide them immediately.
We are so Happy that Wagner Tours are planning our wedding. Huge thanks to Super Mario and Team.. xxx Sharon & David

Just want to say a huge thank you to Mario,Anna Maria and everybody involved in our wedding.(even the amazing mojita maker!!) Everybody was lovely and so helpful. Every part of our wedding day ran so smoothly i have never felt so relaxed!Ravello is such a beautiful place and i think wagner tours is the perfect place to book your wedding through, they are based right in the main square and are friendly with alot of the local businesses which just made us feel very welcome and comfortable marrying in Ravello.Hotel Giordano and villa Eva were both amazing and again these being owned by wagner tours just seemed to make everything easy to arrange. Our wedding meal at Villa Eva was amazing all our guests were completly blown away with the food and the views at villa Eva and they have not stoped talking about it! There is so much more i could say! I am a very fussy person and like things to be perfect and i could not have asked for anymore! please feel free to email me if anybody has any questions lucy_ellis13@hotmail.com

Dear Mario and Anna Maria, thank you so much for everything that you did for us for our wedding day on the 26th September 2008. We had the most unbelievably fantastic time. Every single detail was just perfect, and we are truely grateful for all of the hard work you put into the planning to ensure that everything went without a hitch. Nothing was too much to ask, and you made planning the day and catering for 87 guests seem like a breeze, although I'm sure it wasn't! Every single one of our guests has commented on how great it was (with one even considering booking her wedding in Ravello without a groom!!! - not naming any names!!) Words cannot describe how grateful we are for all the hard work. Thank you so much. We will definately see you next year in Ravello for our anniversary! If anyone is thinking of getting married in Ravello and using Mario as the wedding planner, please don't hesitate to drop me an email for any more information (I could go on for hours with all the details!), we cannot recommend him and his team enough.
25 September 2008
Great location, great wedding. You did Dawn and James proud!
24 September 2008
A most wonderful wedding that we both will never forget, the day just got better and better. The detail that Mario and Anna Marie went into made this a memorable week in Ravello, one that all Gemma and James family and friends will be talking about for many years to come.
Thanks Mario and Anna Marie.

Dear Mario, you recently organised a wedding for my brother Daniel (& the lovely Jenni)I just wanted to let you know what a fabulous job you did & all the photo's on your site can't convey the effort you put in, nor the magnificent scenery of Ravello, nor the feeling of intimacy you created for their Special day. It was by far the best wedding I have been to. I would recommend everyone and anyone get married in Ravello!! (Using Wagner tours of course!)

Daniel and Jenni were very lucky to have you as their wedding planner you stayed with us all from the start of the wedding untill the very end ensuring that everything went smoothly, and everything was perfect. I will never experience such a beautiful time again. A million thankyou's. Colin and I will definately come back to Ravello and we will be sure to come and see you. I would advise anyone thinking of getting married in Ravello not to think just do it and to be sure they choose you as their wedding planner. Thankyou again Mario for such a wonderful day.

WOW!!!!! Words cannot describe what a wonderful wedding day we both had. It was truely magical and without a doubt the best day of our lives. Mario you did us proud. Every single request, you fulfilled, even down to the finest detail. You definitely made the brides day by surprising her with the Fiat 500 - I think her smile said it all....!! Ravello was amazing, the food was magnificent and the Villa Eva a beautiful venue, we wouldn't change a thing. Enzo and his assistant were fantastic photographers and Claude and Tony, fantastic musicians. We would highly recommend them all!! All of our guests have been saying what a wonderful day they had which makes a perfect end to a perfect wedding. Thank you so much Mario and Annamaria from the bottom of our hearts. We will be coming back to visit next year...!! Love Emma and Lee. xx

Our daughter Emma married Lee in Ravello last Thursday the 4th September. From start to finish the day was magical, the bride herself was beautiful and the groom handsome to say the least !! From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Mario for making their day wonderful. You took the stress away from them and your attention to detail was first class. The setting at the Villa Eva needs to be seen to be believed, words alone cannot do it justice. Take a look yourselves and you will see what I mean. Emma has already thanked everbody for their time and effort, two more thank you's need to be done though, they are Gerrado ( wonderful hair syles ) and Gisella ( beautiful make-up )
Grazie di tutto speriamo di re-vederti al pui presto ciao ciao Jude and Giuseppe xxx

Hi Mario, I had to come back to say how much we loved our wedding day (May 23rd). Everything was perfect. We were looking back through our photos today and it feels like yesterday. We loved it so much we want to come back and relive it all over again. Thanks for a perfect day! Everyone involved was wonderful and made our day everything we wanted it to be. Enzo is an excellent photographer and we have beautiful photos that captured the whole event perfectly. Armando is an amazing florist (I wanted to sneak him away to Texas in my luggage). Even though our wedding was small, he made us feel like a million dollars. Fausto was a kind host for our toast on the square and the set up was lovely (the Prosecco was great too!). Pino's/da Salvatore's food and service was amazing and Benito the bird provided some lovely entertainment of his own : ), and Tony and Claud were such wonderful musicians, I know the whole square was entertained. The guitar and mandolin were perfect for our small party. It was definitely the beautiful sound of Italy we were looking for. Everything was such a joy to remember. Thanks for creating our dream wedding. We hope to see you again in the not too distant future. It was paradise to us. Brenda

Dear Mario
Thank you for all your help and patience in organising our perfect day. Ravello was the most beautiful location for a wedding and thanks to your help we had the most wonderful day and will cherish the memories forever. Also thanks for the good advice about not getting married before 6pm in August ;-)
I would happily recommend your services to any prospective clients as I have no doubt they too will enjoy their day as much as we did. All your partners were exceptional including florists, gerardo and Villa Eva. The only problem was the day ended too quickly! Thank you so much for everything.Love Georgie and Vaughan
5 August 2008
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work on our wedding. It really was the most beautiful day, and we had an amazing time, as did all our guests. I really don't think we could have chosen a more beautiful place to get married, and it was all just perfect.
Thank you for your excellent organisation, and for all your help and patience in the months leading up to the wedding. If you ever need it, I would be happy to speak with prospective clients to let them know what a great experience we had with you.
We will hopefully be back in Ravello before too long, and we will certainly pop in to say hello.
Take care, and please send our warmest regards to everyone we met - Annamaria, Enzo, Franco, Rosario, Eva, everyone...
Thanks again xxx

I have to say that Ravello has exceeded all my expectations. The atmosphere here couldnt be better. Mario has been a dream for all of us and he effortlessly made us feel at home and at ease. I couldnt recommend highly enough to come and stay in this magnificent place that can only be described as a "piece of heaven".... future brides to be - panic not. Rest assured that your special day will be just magical. Olive (bridesmaid for Paula and Aidan).

my sister Sharon got married in Ravello in April and i wanted to thank Mario and his team for making Sharon & Seans day so Magical, special and certainly one to remember...the views, the hotel and the people made our week in Italy very memorable
10 May 2008
We had the most amazing wedding just yesterday and can't recommend getting married here enough. Mario ensured everything ran incredibly smoothly and his local contacts were invaluable. He's not a bad photographer either! We would also recommend anyone Scala as a place to get married as you feel like you have the entire village to yourself and everyone in the village was incredibly friendly. Thank you very much Mario, it was fantastic!

Mario and Anna-Maria helped us to arrange our wedding in Ravello. I cannot thank them enough, and recommend them highly. Mario was extremely enthusiastic and responsive from the start (which is great when you are trying to arrange the wedding from overseas!). In the days leading up to the wedding we were totally relaxed as we knew Mario had everything under control! I must say every person involved in the wedding, that Mario and Anna-Maria introduced us to in Ravello, (from the florist, the photographer, to the translater) was lovely. The people of Ravello are extremely warm and friendly. Our guests were very happy with the accomodation and the transfers booked by Mario. We look forward to visiting our friends again in a few years when we go back to Ravello celebrate an anniversary! Thank you once again Mario and Anna-Maria for helping us arrange such a magical day!

Dear Mario Antonietta and Teresa Just a short note to thank you all for our super holiday in Ravello - we all had a wonderful time.

Thanks again.

Hi Mario,
I am emailing to thank you personally for all the effort that you put in to help Glenn and Laura solve the problem of my dietary needs, I never expected to eat what I did. Brilliant. Helped to make the whole occasion fantastic. We both enjoyed the whole week there, but the wedding will last forever a truly magical occasion.
Thanks once again.
We have looked at the photos on the weblink that Laura gave us and didn't you get some great pics!!!
Once again thank you for all your effort.
Take care, and who knows we may bump into you on our next visit to Ravello!!!

We married in Ravello on September 12th 2007. The day would not have been possible without Mario's help. From the second we arrived he took care of everything. The day itself went without a hitch and Mario stayed with us throughout the whole day right into the small hours and it couldnt have gone better.
We want to thank Mario for all his help and all of my guests have commented on how great a place Ravello is and we will be returning very soon.

Dear Mario
I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful wedding you arranged for my daughter Nicole and son in law Dan. It was truly the most memorable ocassion. Everything was truly outstanding from the actual ceremony which we found beautiful, the flowers which were outstanding, the toast in the square which was a unique way to celebrate before moving onto the reception at the Villa Eva. The reception was perfect, from the location, the table arrangements, the food and the jazz band. This was truly a magical ocassion and it couldn't have been achieved without your professionalism, enthusiam and patience (lots of patience!). I cannot thank you or your staff enough.
Regards

Hi Mario and Anna-Maria,
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you very much indeed for the wondeful wedding day that you arranged for us and our guests on August 17th.
With 45 guests the Church of Santa Maria Gradillo was absolutely perfect and the flowers arranged within it topped it off beautifully. On such a memorable day, one of the highlights would have to be the experience of being escorted to our champagne toast in the square by the guitar and mandolin players, being greeted and congratulated by total strangers the whole way.
The views from Villa Eva were matched only by the exquisite food and the wonderful music from the band.
It really was a perfect day with many guests saying that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. One of Nicole's friends even said that she now feels that she can get married herself as she would not be able to have anything as special as us.
Thanks very much again, hopefully we will manage to visit again at some point.
31 July 2007
Mario - Very many thanks for making our wedding so special and memorable. Scala was fantastic. I asked you if you could organise a small wedding, just ourselves and three guests, and you said ''Why not ...for 5 people or 100 people it is the same attention'' and it was. Again, very many thanks, Roger & Dolly

Me and Joanna have just returned from a fantastic honeymoon, and we would both like to say a big thank you for all your help in organising the wedding in Ravello. Without your help both before the wedding day and on the day itself it would not have been possible to create such a wonderful day.
All of our guest were very impressed with the venue, music and flowers and they all, aswell as us will have wonderful memories of the day. I was a lovely relaxing day they we both fully enjoyed.
Once again Mario, thank you for all your freindly & professional help. We now know we will come back to Ravello on our first wedding aniversary.

Dear Mario and Annamaria,
Grazie mille for the most fantastic wedding ever!! Every details was sheer perfection, the day went without a hitch or even a worry. Every single guest was impressed beyond belief and most confessed it was the best wedding they had been to.
The stunning location, the sumptuous food, the relaxed atmosphere, the attentive service and the enthusiastic local musicians (who should have been comedians!) all contributed to a fabulous day.
And to top it all off, Enzo is simply an artist and has helped to make our day memorable in the most beautiful style.
I cannot sing all of your praises enough. Thankyou again.
Hope to see you in the future, possibly for a wedding anniversary, I hope.

Our wedding on 6 May 2007 was a dream. Every aspect of preparation, particularly those aspects and unforseens associated with getting married abroad, was attended to with the greatest of care and attention to detail.
Without hesitation I would recommend Mario and his team to any couple considering their wedding in Ravello.
9 May 2007
I cannot recommend Mario and his team enough! Everything was perfect and Mario and Annamaria are fantastic. Nothing was a problem and the venue, photographer, musicians and florist (all recommended by Mario) were fabulous. Every detail was taken care of - Mario even came to the wedding at 12pm to check that guests had transport home. The whole experience of getting married in Ravello was tremendous and I would recommend Mario and his team to anyone who wants a genuine and personal wedding planner!

Dear Mario
I hope both you and Annamaria are well.
I would like to thank you for Gillian and Georges wedding on 29th August and have been trying to think what I could say that could express how delighted we are and how wonderful the day was, but it is impossible.
The care you took of Gillian and George from the moment they arrived in Ravello (lost and in the dark) until they left was amazing. Your kindness, thoroughness and hard work ensured that they had a super holiday as well as a wonderful wedding.
Every thing surpassed our expectations, Ravello was more beautiful, Villa Eva, the meal and the service were superb. Please pass on my thanks to the chef and the waiters. The Hotel Villa Maria was just perfect and the staff were so kind. The hairdresser was excellent. Gillians hair was beautiful, he also kindly did my hair and one of the bridesmaids.
The marriage ceremony itself was better than I could ever have hoped, the mayor and translator were so kind, the vows Gillian and George made were so meaningful, it was wonderful.
You and Annamaria were so good with all of our small worries and ''panics'' working so hard to see that everything ran smoothly. I would recommend the musicians to anyone, they were fabulous. The champagne reception in the square was just magical.
I was so anxious before the wedding, everything was such an unknown quantity but I need not have worried at all we were in such good hands.
Thank you for such a perfect day that everyone there will remember for ever. I have seen the photographs you sent to Gillian and George, they are fantastic.
Part of our hearts will always be in Ravello, thank you.
Love and best wishes to you all.

Thank you Mario for helping make our wedding so wonderful. Everything went so smoothly .. and the Villa Eva was even more beautiful and stunning than the photos. You helped us relax during the week leading up to the event - taking care of all the questions from our 85 guests :) It was very helpful having your office right in the center of Ravello.
You stayed with us until 5am when the party at the Villa finally ended ... now that is some wedding planner! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me. Getting married in Ravello is magical .. and it would not have been the same w/out Wagner Tours.

Having lived 16 years in Italy, we thought we knew it all. But Mario from Wagner Tours completely surprised us. Our wedding in the little town of Scala (near Ravello) was a smash.
Mario, we don´t know how to thank you. For those of you who are outsiders, Mario is not only a local, he is also THE local. He went far and beyond to make our wedding not only unique but also a very personal and emotional
experience.
We are not going to repeat what you probably already know about the Amalfi Coast (the lemons, the colorful flowers, the cliffs etc.).
What we want to mention is what we are carrying in our hearts from this wedding: the most dedicated people, who worked passionately and unbelievably creatively with that rare combination of utmost reliability and natural, extraordinary, true warmth.
Mario, Annamaria (all three of you!), Lorenzo, Gabriele, Raffaele, Marco, Gerardo and Giancarlo: YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE AND EXCEPTIONAL - THANK YOU!!!
20 June 2006
My daughter Louisa & David were married on the 13th of June 2006 .Thanks to Mario the wedding arrangements were 2nd to none. You could not fault the arrangements everthing was perfect. Thankyou Mario
20 June 2006
Dear Mario
A short note to thank you for making our recent wedding in Ravelo so memorable. Antoinette and I would like to thank you most sincerely for all of your assistance, help and advice during those special days on the Amalfi Coast.
From our first meeting at the end of March to the actual wedding day, just over two months later, you dealt with the many arrangements on our behalf in that short time span very efficiently and effectively. Your liaison with Tina and Marcia in Villa Maria, the craic when working with Enzo taking the photographs, your first class relationship with the Mayor and the Town Hall, your many other contacts who helped us on things like transfer, hair and manicure, pampering of the ladies, flower arrangements, all ensured that we had a most enjoyable and memorable wedding.
Once again many, many thanks from Antoinette and I. We will say hello when we revisit Ravelo at some time in the future.
Kind regards.

Dear Mario
It is hard to find the words to thank you for all your hard work
in planning our wedding in Ravello. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a day that we could only dream of. Thank you so much it was bellisimo!
May I add that anyone looking to have their wedding in Ravello should look no further than Mario and his team Anna Maria and Lucky at Wagner Tours. From the moment our guests and ourselves arrived in Naples we felt relaxed and confident everything would be wonderful, so much so that on the day of the wedding we all went to Pompeii!
Mario has the gift of marrying the beauty of Ravello the friendliness of the Italian people and his own quiet reassurance to bring everything together to create a perfect ambience and atmosphere. Quite simply it was fun from start to finish. All our family and friends had a wonderful time.
In essense, Mario was more like a friend that a wedding planner and it is impossible not to sing his praises. He is quite simply the best !
19 June 2006
Hi Mario, Anna Maria & Lucky,
Hope you are all keeping well.
Life has returned to normal now after our wonderful celebrations in Ravello..
We just wanted to say Thank You both once again for all your hard work in making our dreams come true, we really couldn't have asked for anything better..
All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and couldn't get over how gorgoeus everything was from the location to the church to the reception..
So many many thanks and we hope to see all three of you when we return in the future..
Best Regards,

I attended the wedding of a friend from Japan in Ravello at the weekend and had a fantastic time. The reception at Villa Eva was particularly enjoyable, with a breathtaking view of the coastline. The bride and groom looked relaxed throughout, largely due to Mario's quietly efficient work at keeping things ticking over smoothly.
Maybe I'll be back for my own wedding here someday!

Our friends wedding was simply stunning. From start to finish, the organisation of the event was superb from a guest's perspective, it couldn't have been any smoother. Mario was extremely efficient and every step of the journey was catered for perfectly. The wedding went off beautifully and Rosie and Mike looked so happy, it was a wonderful occasion. The Giordano hotel was lovely and we would both stay there in Ravello again. All in all, highly recommended!!

Ravello was a amazing place in such a beautiful location. The Da Salvatore B&B was centrally located with breathtaking views. Our room was lovely, quite small but very clean and newly decorated with a little balcony. Much better value than the Hotel Graal next door which was twice the price with very average bedrooms. I would definetly recommend a trip to Ravello and to the Da Salvatore B&B which also had a fantastic restaurant & pizzeria.

We had a superb week in Ravello. When we got to our apartment we could not believe the view! The apartment itself was spacious and spotlessly clean and Maria and Virgilio, the owners, were lovely. We could have spent the whole week very happily just sitting on the terrace but did tear ourselves away from Ravellow for a couple of days out. Mario and Anna Maria from Wagner Tours are so pleasant and helpful, and so is Teresa at Studio Dama. We will definitely want to return at some time in the future.
Grazie and Ciao! Sue and Rupert

Mario is a delight to work with! We visited Ravello at Easter for the second time to finalise our wedding in July and enjoyed every moment of it! Mario had organised our accomodation and transfers and was faultless. Our driver was really friendly too! He works with some really great people. We feel we have made friends for life in this beautiful place! Thanks Mario, we'll see in July with the family x

I am very pleased to inform you that Ravello is an amazing place, it is exactly what I imagined it would be.
I have looked at all the hotels in Ravello and Marios hotels are the best and the prcies are very realistic for this area.
I have looked at around at the venues for the evening reception and there is no comparison to Villa Eva, which you would have to yourself. The views are spectacular.
In my opinion you would be extremely happy with Mario and would not find anyone else better to help you organise your wedding.
If you would like you to contact me. Please do not hesitate to e-mail ravello_bride@yahoo.co.uk

Our whole wedding day was perfect - fantastic! It couldn't have been accomplished without the hard work and planning you put into it. Your dedication to making the day so special for us and our guests meant that we all had a day to truly remember. Thank you.

Thank you for your wonderful help in making our day run without a single hitch. Mario's personality is absolutely delightful and if anyone is ever thinking about getting married on the Amalfi coast then Mario is a must. He will take all stress away from you so you can have a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing stay in Ravello. We were 110% delighted with Mario.

Your professionalism and attention to detail created an absolutely perfect wedding. I'm convinced that somehow you even orchestrated the (lack of) rain. We remain awed and forever grateful.

Dear Mario,
I just wanted to take this time to thank you and your staff for the assistance with the prepartation of our wedding on September 1, 2005.
With just over one week to prepare documents and coordinate our wedding, (as I arrived to Ravello unprepared) you and your staff were very understanding and supportive with our needs and constant changes. I thank you alone for just your patience.
With constant communication prior, during and after the wedding shows your professionalism and dedication to assist in any which way possible. You are one of a kind in Ravello and we all thank you for your determinaton.
And then to see our pictures posted on your website in such a short time, WOW! that really impressed both Richard and I.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all your assistance to conclude our fairy tale wedding in Ravello!
With Love,
Enza & Richard Hue

Hi Mario!
How is life in Ravello?! And how is the new “assistant” dealing with the paperwork?!
We received the photos and video from Enzo yesterday – they are just so wonderful!
We love all the photos and will be putting them into the album at the weekend – and the video is just excellent! We could not believe it when we put the dvd in the TV and on came this professional, brilliantly edited film of the whole day! (I am afraid there were a few “drops of Claire” when we first watched it – it was quite emotional to watch, it was like being there all over again!)
It is so fantastic and we will treasure it forever – please send on our thanks to Enzo and the American photographer and the person who did the filming of the day.
Thank you again and we hope to see you again soon!
Ciao

Hi Mario,
Many thanks for all your help and consideration when organising our stay in Hotel Giordano, also for organising transport from Naples to Ravello - it just made the trip so simple and perfect. We had a fantastic day at Colm & Claire's wedding on the 17/6/05. We had a wonderful week in a beautiful place. Thanks for advice regarding boat trips etc. - they were most enjoyable.
Thanks to Colm & Claire for choosing Ravello for their wedding - the perfect choice was made!
Regards
Kathleen & Teresa.
4 July 2005
Where do we begin to thank you for the most perfect week and special day of our lives??
It seems a long time ago since I sent my first email to a wedding organiser in Ravello called ‘Mario’! Since then, a stranger has become a friend, not only to us but also to all our guests.
You made everyone’s stay in Ravello so memorable – from your incredible organisational skills and knowledge to your sense of humour and efficiency and, of course, thanks to your invaluable “assistant” Lucky!
Our wedding day was the most utterly beautiful and proudest day of our lives. To have shared that day with our friends and family in such a beautiful place and arranged so perfectly by you down to the smallest detail, has given us such joy. We did not go to sleep until 6am the next morning as we did not want to lose any second of it – or for it to end!
When Colm and I think of Ravello it will always echo with the laughter, singing and love of all our friends and family and the most magical day of our lives.
Words will never be enough to express what you have done for us Mario. You have given us (and all our guests) memories to cherish forever.
The beginning of the rest of our lives couldn’t have been any more incredible – we feel truly blessed. Ravello and you will always be in our hearts.
Thank you x
- oh, and we’re already planning our first anniversary return to Ravello….as are a few of our guests!!! We just can’t stay away! ;-)

Dear Mario,
Just a quick note to say 'grazie mille' to you and all your staff for making our stay (27 June to 2 July) at Hotel Giardano so perfect.
Booking through you was made so easy and our private transfers to and from Naples airport also made our trip seemless.
The room was extremely comfortable and clean and the service provided by all members of your staff was excellent. We all had such a lovely time and Stephen & Maria's wedding was the best we have ever attended!!
Ravello is so beautiful and it was so easy to relax both before and after the wedding.
Thank you once again, Mario, and we shall be sure to be returning to Ravello at some time in the future.......
Kind regards,
Gideon, Julie and Gideon Scott

Dear Mario
Thank you for your outstanding work in making my sister's wedding in Ravello utterly perfect. Your attention to detail and tireless work made not only the wedding day- but the whole week we spent in Ravello - truly magical. The fact that we numbered 90 guests from the UK/Ireland/USA only highlights your superlative organising skills. And the fact that you made everyone - especially the bride and groom - so relaxed says everything about your pesonality! thank you for an unforgettable week.
27 June 2005
I have just returned from a week in Ravello, attending the wedding of my sister and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ravello and Mario’s services to anyone.
We spent the week before the wedding in Ravello (at the beautiful hotel Giordano) and from the moment we arrived to the wedding day itself Mario was always on hand for advice and practical help. As my sister had 90 guests flying in at various stages over the week -all staying in different
accommodation, needing transfers from Naples at different times and dates - this was no mean feat!
The wedding day itself was magical - the Duomo is the most stunning place to hold a ceremony - and the reception at the Villa Eva was utterly perfect. But it is Mario’s attention to detail and professionalism that would leave any bride totally relaxed about her wedding day, for Mario
really DOES do all the work for you. Just pick your dress and the rest is like falling off a log! From the hotel catering, disco, flowers, hairdressers, photographers to the booking of accomodation for your guests, and organising day trips, Mario is the events organiser to put all others to shame.
As my sister was marrying an Irishman, she also had the added hassle of dealing with three embassies over paperwork in the run-up to the wedding - a tiresome and at times stressful business. But even when one document went missing from Rome (it was delivered to a church in Positano!) Mario drove there himself to collect it. For Mario was in CONSTANT contact with my
sister via email all the way up to her arrival in Italy. Infact, he amazed everyone with his speed of replying to the most trifling of questions. We felt from the outset that we were in the safest of hands. My sister is still on honeymoon but I know would have nothing but the highest of praise for Mario. He really can’t do enough for you and his love of his work is so evident that you really will feel he is part of the family doing everything he can to make your wedding day perfect! Before we
had even risen on the following day Mario had already prepared a hugeselection of wedding photographs on display in his office for everyone to see! The fact that he works so tirelessly for free also makes him truly outstanding.
I hope you do choose Ravello. It really would be impossible to regret it!
Yours

Again what a wonderful experience you provided for us last month during our stay at Ravello. Your driver was exceptional, and we loved the experience. Especially are we grateful for taking the wallet to the lady who had left it on the car.
We plan to come to Ravello again next year

We had the pleasure to attend our friend's wedding in Ravello (June 03). It was like a fairy tale. Mario (Wagner tours) was the wedding planner and every detail was perfect. Wagner tours also took care of our hotel, transportation and touring excursions which made our visit simple and stress free. The people in this village are wonderful and friendly. Visit there if you can!

Hi to everybody at Wagner Tours,
We hope you all are keeping well. We are in Ireland and we wanted to send out best wishes for the holiday season and hope you all have a great 2004. You helped us have a great 2003!!
Our family and friends are still talking about Ravello and the great days we had there.
Also, a friend of a friend will be contacting you shortly. She is starting to plan her wedding, and she is thinking about having it in Ravello.....so we were happy to give your name...
Take care,
Martin & Yumiko
PS we'll see you some day soon in Ravello

As my wife and I celebrate our one year anniversary, we look back at our unique wedding in Ravello. Our memories of Ravello and Amalfi are still fresh in our mind. We hope to return to Italy and visit our friends especially Mario. Thanks for wonderful memories!!!

Well, we have finally returned home from our travels and we had a remarkable time. Married life is wonderful and I would just like to give my comments and high recommendations about our wedding planner, Mario and his team at Wagner Tours in Ravello, Amalfi Coast.
The team organised a wedding day for us that was truly amazing, every detail will be unforgettable to us and all our guests. We never imagined that it could be as fantastic as it was.
The church and ceremony were just perfect and the flower arrangements were amazing. The photographer and his team were wonderful and had the wedding album ready for us before we left Ravello.
We had a flawless wedding day, which we will remember for the rest of our lives.
If you are planning a wedding in Italy, we would without hesitation recommend Mario and his team at Wagner tours in Ravello.
Best regards,
Martin & Claudine

We had a fabulous time on the Amalfi Coast, thanks to Mario at Wagner Tours. He booked us into the wonderful Villa Maria in breath taking Ravello, arranged special tours for us to Paestum etc., suggested great restaurants, and filled the chinks in with laughter and care. You cannot put yourself in better hands. Here is the website: http://www.wagnertours.it/index.html

My new husband and I were married in Ravello, Italy in June. Mario at Wagner Tours was a great help. We spent over three weeks touring Italy. Ravello was the most beautiful and romantic place of all. For a wedding, I am glad we picked the Amalfi Coast over Tuscany or the Italian Riveria (both fabulous to visit) The staff at Wagner Tours was great and very helpful. I highly recommend that anyone considering marriage in Italy consult with Mario! Ciao - PL

Desidero che ero stato nato un Ravellisi!
I had cooking school with Vincenzo Wed. 1 Oct. 2003 andnow that I am back in New York CIty, I wanted to thank you for one of the most special days of my life especially being that it happened on my honeymoon in the gem of a town Ravello-possibly one of the most gorgeous and precious town on the globe. Your elegance and welcoming natures are fantastic and you made my trip so fantastic especially in the first few days.
I have wonderful photos that I took as well that I will send to you to scan to include on your website. I am hoping to write about the experience for a magazine as that is my trade. If a magazine is interested I will contact you right away.
More than that I wish I could have the anchovy, lemons and calamri shipped to New York City. Never have I expereinced a chef like Vincenzo, a manager like Mario, and such delicacies as we ate anywhere in the world. Your love of Ravello is also contagious and I cannot wait to visit again. You made out day trip to Ravello something out of a movie as we like to say in New York. Shall we do it again soon? I can't wait.
And Vincenzo please email me the type of olive oil we used and where I can get it. I would like to have that in my own kitchen. I am trying our anchovy recipe on scallops soon!
To my speical friends in Ravello please visit New York City anytime and I will be your guide.
LOVE the INAMMORATI, Kristen and Terry Dollard

Cooking with Vincenzino

If you enjoy cooking (or even just a fabulous meal in a breathtaking environment), I would highly recommend the cooking day with Chef Vincenzino organized by Wagner Tours (www.wagnertours.it). Vincenzino took us shopping for fresh ingredients, then to his home to prepare a feast. We spent the afternoon looking out over the Meditteranean, while drinking wine and making a variety of pasta with fresh seafood and vegetable dishes. Mario arranged this wonderful day - it was one of the most fun of our honeymoon.
25 April 2004
We arranged our wedding in Ravello through a small local company called Wagner Tours. We only decided to get married in Italy in January, so there was a lot to organise in time for the big day on 5th April, but thanks to Mario & Anna Maria our great wedding coordinators, we could just leave all the arrangements to them!
On the wedding day everything turned out perfectly. Both the ceremony in the town hall with the mayor and the church service with Father Murray, a lovely English priest, were very special. Also the flowers arranged by Armando the florist were fantastic!
The guests were all very impressed by the romantic location and still claim it's the nicest wedding they've ever been to!
We would definitely recommend a Wagner Wedding to anyone who is thinking of getting married 'Italian Style!' (www.wagnertours.it)
All the best for your special day,
Emily & Salim

We found outstanding assistance in finding hotels from Wagner Tours (www.wagnertours.it) in Ravello. The owner, Mario Capuano could not have been more helpful or responsive.
