We had the honor to be married by Florian, our Wedding celebrant. Right from the beginning, it was his dearest commitment to create a unique and fully personalized ceremony. His very thorough preparation allowed him to get to know our love story to the fullest and to make the ceremony genuine, romantic and personal. Florian’s choice of words, involvement of the audience and storytelling made this wedding on the hills of Tuscany a dream come true!

Flo is a pleasure to work with and very good in taking your event a notch higher. Not only is he a wonderfully talented and engaging Master of Ceremony, he also goes the extra mile to assist in any way he can. I would definitely recommend Flo to anyone for event planning/consulting, MCing or any of his other services. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
