Stunning service
Vanessa and her staff planned and organized the wedding we have always dreamed of. Everything was perfect from start to finish.
Our guests had a very good time and we made a great impression. We chose Positano in Italy as a venue for tight the knot, perfect location and excellent food. All under Vanessa's supervision. A true professional. Super happy with the service. Highly recommended

Riva Events: The Perfect Partner for Your Big Day!
I had the pleasure of working alongside Riva Events recently as a videographer for one of their weddings, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and dedication.
Here's what truly stood out:
Seamless Collaboration:
The Riva Events team was incredibly organized and communicative throughout the entire planning process. They kept me in the loop on all the details and ensured everything ran smoothly on the wedding day itself. This made my job as a videographer much easier, allowing me to capture all the special moments without any hiccups.
Exceptional Client Care:
Their focus on exceeding client expectations was evident. They truly listened to the couple's vision and ensured every aspect of the wedding reflected their unique love story. This dedication translates into a stress-free experience for the couple and allows them to truly enjoy their special day.
High-Quality Network:
Riva Events clearly works with only the best vendors in the industry. The entire team, from the planners to the florists and caterers, were all incredibly talented and professional. This collaborative spirit creates a truly magical wedding experience for everyone involved.
Overall, working with Riva Events was a fantastic experience. Their attention to detail, exceptional client care, and top-notch network of vendors make them a dream team for any couple planning their wedding. If you're looking for wedding planners who will go above and beyond to create a wedding that is both unforgettable and stress-free, then Riva Events is the perfect choice!

Vanessa played a vital role in ensuring the success of our entire event planning process. Her exceptional expertise in event organization became evident as she meticulously organized our small wedding, leaving no detail unnoticed. Vanessa went above and beyond by not only providing us with valuable recommendations but also connecting us with reliable external vendors, ultimately ensuring that we obtained the best prices for everything. Despite the tight timeframe of only 8 weeks, her strong communication and unwavering professionalism shone through, making the entire planning process seamless. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Vanessa's support, and we are eternally grateful for her pivotal role in creating a truly wonderful and memorable experience for our special night.

Diana
As a future bride I was so stressed about our wedding. Luckily, Riva Events exceeded my expectations. The team really helped me to organise the event. We had around 180 invited and there was a lot of planning ahead. Vanessa helped me choose from music to floral decorations. It really took some of our stress away, not to mention our wedding was not in the UK and she decided to come with us and help me with the planning and the whole wedding experience. More...
