"When in Florence"

I am doing an Events Planning internship abroad in Florence, Italy for 4 months. I am learning Italian and their unique culture. I'm so intrigued on how they speak and live their daily lives. I can't wait to share my experience with you!

 To have your wedding in such historical places would be such a memorable experience for not just you, but your family and friends. 

I have started my internship, in which was the main reason I came to Italy. I am doing a Wedding/Events Planning Internship at Il Cerimoniere. They are a small company that does weddings and events all throughout Italy. They have amazing locations to choose from and my favorite pictures that I have seen so far are the weddings that they have in Rome. To have your wedding in such historical places would be such a memorable experience for not just you, but your family and friends. So far I have learned to do estimates for what the clients want, such as vintage car rentals, locations, number of guest, catering and menus, etc. My Italian classes here are paying off because the other day we got 6 different menus from a catering company. They were all in Italian and needed to be translated into English because 99% of their clients speak english. We sat there for hours trying to find the correct culinary terms. The one thing that was on the menu that intrigued me was Scorpion Fish. I have never even heard of that, but my co-worker said it was very good. Who knows... I may just have to try that while I am here!
