“Choosing MAISON FNC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
From the very beginning, MAISON FNC impressed us with their professionalism, transparency, and can-do attitude. They took the time to truly understand our vision, and it often felt like they shared our taste and style.
They had an exceptional ability to identify ideas, details, and sources of inspiration, immediately understanding what would resonate with us. Their eye for aesthetics was invaluable, and it often felt like they instinctively understood our vision. At the same time, their creativity was balanced by a strong business mindset, helping us make thoughtful decisions while keeping the bigger picture in mind. That combination made us trust their judgment completely.
Throughout the process, MAISON FNC was always there whenever we needed help and consistently stepped in to solve problems before they became concerns. They were incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, especially whenever we struggled to make decisions. No matter how many moving pieces there were, they always seemed one step ahead, which gave us complete confidence that nothing would fall through the cracks.
What we appreciated most was the trust they earned throughout the planning process. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with MAISON FNC, we felt completely comfortable letting go of the logistics and coordination, knowing everything was in capable hands.

“Florence is our second home, and Christiana, Sam, and Francesco have made it all the more so.
We were drawn to Maison FNC for the team’s intuitive eye and global sensibility. We had a very particular brief for each day of our wedding week, with key design pillars, equally atmospheric and programmatic: the feeling of hosting at home, timelessness over trend, integration vs. intervention. Christiana and Sam met our vision with patience, empathy, and extraordinary personability, bringing the utmost care to its realization.
For quite some time, we’d been dreaming of a wedding centered on and crafted by our Florentine community. Each time we’d dine at our family friend’s wine bar, our favorite in the city, we’d picture the charming piazza it occupies spilling over with loved ones. Christiana understood the specificity of our vision: honoring Punjabi, Keralite, and Florentine traditions without collapsing their distinctions, celebrating in settings already meaningful to us despite their being unaccustomed to events of this scale and intricacy, and regarding our vendor partners as fellow hosts. Throughout our planning, Christiana opened up her Florence to us, expanding our community in turn.
We’re eternally grateful to have collaborated with a team of specialists, each an artist - hailing from NYC, Lisbon, Madrid, Amsterdam, Paris, Turin, Florence, and beyond. As we collectively built the wedding week, scene by scene, Christiana led our team with integrity and grace.
It was an emotionally resonant week, echoed in the words of our loved ones: “a beautiful introduction to part of the world we fell hard for, and a stupefyingly beautiful wedding”; “all of your careful planning showed - we were elated as we watched everything unfold”; “thank you for sharing your love of Florence with us and giving us such an intimate glimpse at the city your family have a special bond with”; “it really felt like it was our city and we all lived down a small cobblestone street from each other”; “a warm environment I can only compare to a big group hug!! Every event was perfect, every event felt like you”; “the wedding ceremony in the garden was unlike any we have attended - beautiful, poetic, meaningful”; “we still find ourselves floating in the serene Vedic Nikitaland… just felt like a dream”; “your ceremony, your ceremony, your ceremony - I still think about it”; “I’m truly not sure I can do another wedding because this was just too perfect for me if I’m being honest lol”; “it was the best day of MY life.”
Christiana, Sam, and Francesco are at core exquisite hosts, radiating devotion and joy through their work and relationships. We’re lucky to call them dear friends, and to have shared this most memorable milestone, our wedding, with them, in its creation and experience.”

“We hired MAISON FNC to help us plan our destination wedding in Florence, Italy (we live in the U.S.). We embarked on the wedding planning journey with MAISON FNC two years prior to the date, and since our first introductory call, we felt an amazing connection and knew we were in good hands. Their attention to detail and superb taste blew our expectations out of the water. They didn’t just help us execute our vision, they brought a creative point of view to elevate the events.
We wanted the wedding to feel opulent yet intimate and special for all of our guests — they helped us find venues that embodied the beauty of Florence: incredible views, art history, and gorgeous sunsets. MAISON FNC understood our vision and worked tirelessly to help us find the perfect venues and vendors. From our intimate and casual welcome dinner restaurant to the ceremony garden overlooking the city center and Duomo, to the most phenomenal photographers and Cuban band — a must-have for us — they curated every detail perfectly.
MAISON FNC negotiated and managed all relationships while upholding the highest standards and delivering a luxurious event. This was invaluable to us, as doing business in Italy is completely different from what we are used to in the States. They were very conscious of our budget parameters and helped us find exceptional vendors within our price range while making thoughtful decisions without compromising the experience of the wedding.
Beyond the wedding festivities, MAISON FNC thought of everything to make our guests feel welcomed. They helped us manage destination itineraries, transportation logistics, accommodation assistance, and restaurant and activity recommendations.
Every one of our guests has not stopped commenting on the entire experience and how amazing the planning team was.
The whole weekend went beyond just a wedding celebration — it became a picture-perfect experience that we will cherish forever.”
To MAISON FNC —
Your amazing taste and attention to detail are flawless. Your kindness and get-it-done attitude made it a pleasure to work with you.
From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for bringing our dreams to life. We wish we could live it all again because it was so perfect.”

“We started planning our winter wedding in Florence a year in advance, and the moment we connected with MAISON FNC through a video call, we instantly felt a very positive connection.
Our dream was to have a beautifully detailed and intimate wedding, and MAISON FNC truly went above and beyond.
It was so easy to work with them because they understood our taste and were able to guide us toward the right vendors. There was not a moment when we felt that our requests were impossible, because they always made sure to find solutions and bring our vision to life.
Throughout this wedding planning journey, we had the opportunity to meet incredibly creative florists, photographers, videographers, chefs, and musicians who made our wedding day truly special. Even many months after the wedding, our guests are still amazed by how perfect that night was.
We are forever grateful that our day was taken care of by such talented and dedicated professionals at MAISON FNC.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We wish MAISON FNC every success for the future.”

“Our Perfect Destination Reception!
If MAISON FNC is available — book them ASAP!
From start to finish, working with MAISON FNC was an absolute dream. We knew we wanted a destination wedding, but we had no idea where to start or how to bring our vision to life from a distance. A friend of ours had worked with them for travel plans and events and made the introduction for us. We couldn’t be more grateful for that connection and for our experience.
First and foremost, their attention to detail is unmatched. We met regularly, and they listened to our ideas, understood our vision, and offered creative suggestions that made our destination reception not only beautiful but uniquely ours.
They took care of everything — vendor selection, location scouting, and all the logistics — so we could relax and focus on enjoying the experience. Every aspect of the planning was seamless, from the initial consultation to the final details of our reception.
The reception day itself was flawless and stress-free, even with the morning showers that threatened our outdoor location. MAISON FNC had a backup plan ready, although thankfully it wasn’t needed. They coordinated every moment with grace and precision, ensuring everything went off without a hitch.
Our guests were in awe of how flawlessly the entire day unfolded. The venue, the flowers, the food, the band — everything was perfection.
What truly sets MAISON FNC apart is their dedication to creating an unforgettable experience for both the couple and the guests. They went above and beyond, making sure everyone felt comfortable and cared for. The personalized touches they added made the event feel incredibly special and intimate.
They even assisted our guests with reservations, transportation, dinner recommendations, and anything else they needed. MAISON FNC was always there. You can’t imagine what a stress-reliever this is for the Bride and Groom! We were able to truly enjoy our experience instead of managing guests who had questions or forgot the time or address for an event.
We couldn’t be happier with the entire process and would recommend MAISON FNC to anyone looking to plan the wedding of a lifetime.”

“MAISON FNC was instrumental to the success of our wedding weekend! Not only were they extremely professional and trustworthy, but they were also kind, patient, and flexible people who truly understood the nuances and limitations of an intimate wedding, especially a destination one.
From the first time we met with MAISON FNC on video, we knew instantly they had a strong understanding of the aspirational aesthetics we were going for, as well as how to execute them with taste and intention. Being perfectly bilingual in both English and Italian, they found us the most incredible local team within a short amount of time and specific budget.
From our photographers, videographer, florist, makeup artist, and violinist, they exceeded our expectations with their highly curated suggestions. It is also noteworthy that while MAISON FNC is in the wedding and event business, they always put their clients first. We never once felt pressured into spending more than we wanted to or hiring anyone we didn’t feel comfortable with.
They also helped us with restaurant and car bookings, as well as itinerary recommendations for our family trip in Florence, Cortona, and Rome. Needless to say, both our families were impressed by their can-do spirit and incredible attitude throughout the process.
If you are looking for a partner with impeccable taste and the capability to execute a one-of-a-kind vision, especially locally in Italy, look no further than MAISON FNC.
