Your Special Event
Holly and Claude : A Love Story
In 2025 we will be having our 10 year anniversary. We’ve always wanted a destination wedding, so why not join us in Florence for a few days of exploring, some drinks & we’ll throw in a wedding to celebrate!
This website will have all the info you need for the wedding including info on accommodation and organising travel. Any questions can be relayed through Mandi our wedding planner.
No need for presents, as your presence is all we need.
As much as we would love to share our special day with each and every one of you, we do understand that it may not be possible and will not be offended in any way if you are unable to join us.
Love Holly and Claude xx

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that all passengers travelling are covered by Comprehensive Travel Insurance.
