“Words cannot describe how thankful we are to have had Kay and the KNE team planning our wedding and there with us on our wedding day.  We were nervous about not having a planner IN Italy or the cost of having a wedding planner at all, but it was truly the best money we spent on the wedding AND having someone in the US that we could trust and understood the mixing of cultures was so so beneficial for us… The villa they found was truly from a dream and all our vendors were amazing. The bittersweet of it all is having such a magical week of wedding events with KNE by our side and then having to say goodbye to them after almost 2 years of continuous planning… Overall, 10 out of 10 would 1000000% recommend.”
