We booked our wedding with Ionian way back in November 2021 for the wedding date of 30th June 2023. We have just had our amazing day in Sorrento and it was absolutely incredible! This was largely down to the professionalism and organisation of the team at Ionian.
Our first discussions around the wedding happened with Patricia. She was super helpful and prompt with her email responses. She discussed our options in depth with us and helped us choose our perfect venues of the Cloisters and Hidden Hillside Gem. She answered all our questions and once we had booked the date, we were kindly given the help of Lindsay.
Lindsay was an absolute star the whole way through the planning process, any question I had was answered promptly and professionally. Even when we hit a couple of issues with documentation in the UK, Lindsay was there to quickly put our mind at ease and do everything in her power to make sure our wedding went smoothly and as planned. I was kept updated and informed throughout the whole process.
Once we landed in Sorrento, we then had the wonderful Viola and Anna helping us to organise the day. Viola messaged me the day after we arrived in Sorrento and arranged a face-to-face meeting 4 days before the wedding. Viola talked us through what would happen on the day and took us to the cloisters, Hidden Hillside Gem, the Florist and to meet the photographer. Everything was so well organised, and nothing was too much trouble to arrange. Both venues are also completely out of this world, utterly beautiful! We were blown away!
On the wedding day Viola and Anna were with us during the ceremony at the cloisters and they both organised the entire bridal party excellently. I was so nervous arriving at the cloisters but both Viola and Anna kept me calm! Viola translated the ceremony into English too, a woman of many talents!
Once at the Hidden Hillside Gem we had the help of the incredible Silvana. Silvana had previously discussed with us how the reception would run and what to expect. She also tailored our drinks package completely to our wishes. On arrival, the decoration of the venue was so gorgeous. I had previously brought a few things (guest book, seating plan, photo frames) and Silvana and her team had arranged them beautifully and added their own decorations and flowers to compliment which was completely amazing! Throughout the evening Silvana organised us and ensured we were kept updated. She and her team kept the afternoon and evening running so smoothly.
I honestly don’t feel like I have enough words to thank the team I had at Ionian (hence why this review is so long!) The whole wedding planning process was a dream and it’s all down to them! It was the most incredible day of our lives and I would 100% recommend Ionian if you’re looking for an unforgettable, stress free, destination wedding.
