Buon anno!

According to the tradition most Tuscans will have dinner at home or somewhere else, the 'cena di San Silvestro'. Dining all night long and to conclude a nice 'dolce' pannetone or pandoro. Of course the new year starts with a good glass of Italian spumante!

tuscanemotions wishes you a nice New Year's Eve and all the best for a happy, healthy and fantastic 2010!

Marc and Mariska

Last August Marc and Mariska got married in Lucca, in the wonderful "Sala Verde" in Palazzo Orsetti. These are their own words:
On 7 August 2009 we got married in beautiful Lucca in the presence of our darling daughter Jasmijn, dear family and friends. It was a fantastic experience which we can warmly recommend to everybody.

To us it was really a dream which has come true. We wanted to get married abroad, but where exactly……..we didn’t know yet. Until we found Renske’s website; we immediately knew it would be Tuscany. We had a lot of contact with Renske by mail, skype and telephone about the day’s programme. Renske came up with very good ideas, possibilities, alternatives, if needed. And in reality everything was possible. Nothing was taking it too far. Renske’s support in organizing our wonderful day was really super.

On 2 August we arrived in Agriturismo Massarella, a wonderful accommodation with very friendly and welcoming people. That night we arranged our wedding dinner together with Renske. Two days before our wedding we gave notice of the intended wedding in Lucca and this was also perfectly organized by Renske.
Because of this the wedding day itself has run smoothly. After the wedding ceremony in Lucca we went to a restaurant with our guests and we enjoyed an excellent lunch. The dinner in our accommodation in Masserella was also superb. Carla, the owner is a real top chef !

All our guests (over thirty people) stayed in the accommodation which we had booked. Fantastic ! After our guests had left, we newly-weds enjoyed all beautiful Tuscany has to offer: lovely people, delicious food, beautiful towns and villages and of course glorious weather !

When we arrived home after two weeks our documents were already available, so that we could register our marriage in The Netherlands right away. All was taken care of perfectly. Every day we still enjoy the wonderful experience which also thanks to Renske is unforgettable to us all. Thanks a million !

Kind regards,

Marc and Mariska Zeeman-Doffer

Marius and Lotte marry in Siena

On the 15th of July 2009 Marius and Lotte married in Palazzo Pubblico, on the famous square plein Piazza del Campo, in Siena.
After the ceremony, they toasted with some wonderful Prosecco and small lunch bites and they cut theit wedding cake on Piazza del Campo.
On the way back to their accommodation they enjoyed a nice glass of cool white wine at a wine estate near San Miniato. After a short tour in the wine cellar, they had a delicouis dinner outside with a beautiful view on San Miniato.

Hi Renske, By way of this postcard we would like to thank you very much for organizing our wonderful wedding day. We can look back on a fantastic day, which also thanks to your support has become unforgettable. We have put some small gifts in this envelope, so that you can taste “The Netherlands” once more. Also a present for the baby (hope that all will go well) and some pictures in which you are and pictures of Siena. Thanks once more and may be we’ll meet again ! Kind regards, Marius & Lotte Bruijns
