We had a dream wedding day at Villa Toscana. Everything was perfect and a wonderful experience and I was the princess for a day and all our guests. Adrian made everything so easy for us and was there with us every step of the way. From beginning to end he systematically removed any worries or concerns we may have had, most of them without us having to mention anything. The location, table arrangements and lighting were all beautiful and the house set up is perfect for getting ready and relaxing. We will never forget our dream day. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

The experience was truly unbelievable. We were married in the water with Dolphins. Two dolphins brough two of our daughters to the beach area. The remaining wedding party was in the water at the beach. We have seven children and two grand kids. The folks at Theater of Sea warned us the dolphins maybe shy and not perform. They loved all the attention. We had nearly 120 folks and it was great, everyone still talks about it. Beautiful walkways and a wedding boat arrival after the ceremony.
