The request: around a wedding in the Langhe region
September 2018. Monforte d’Alba. Do you know this beautiful place? I’ll be happy to tell you about it, but when I think about it my mind flies immediately to the request of Sean and Bethany, who celebrated their wedding at that time.
Sean and Bethany are two U.S. citizens who decided to celebrate their wedding in Monforte. Their request, however, was quite particular.
The wedding was organized, but they wanted to make Piedmont known freely to all their guests, in the days before the event. What did it mean in concrete terms?
Not one SlowDay for all, but all the Slowdays for them. It’s not a new – questionable – proverb, but the explanation of what was asked of me…
Wedding Slowdays
I always take notes during the first email or phone call, before defining the whole package for my customers. But this time the notes were pretty chaotic.
I had about 60 people who had different needs and expressly wanted different experiences. So we had to organize a series of Slowdays for them, but how?
The choice of stay for those days was the easiest part. Then I thought about it and thought again until I got a smile that meant a solution.
Slowdays builds tailor-made experiences, even if they are many different experiences. You act in the following way.
I created a special page, on my website, dedicated to all the possible Slowdays we offer, allowing them to freely subscribe to the experience they preferred. Once the subscriptions were collected, therefore, I was able to divide all the people on the basis of what they wanted to know about our Piedmont.
The most popular request was the “Truffle Search“, but there were as many memberships for the “Wine Tour“, “E-bike Tour” and “Walks with Tasting“. In short, 100 Slowdays for the 60 Guests!
So, in the two days before the wedding, the guests of Sean and Bethany were able to get to know Piedmont, traveling through landscapes and local food and wine specialties.
… the joy of marriage
Participating in these moments, one or another way leaves you something. So it was for me, I will always remember this strange but wonderful request of Sean and Bethany.
And for these events, we need organization, a feature on which we as Slowdays rely so much.
We organize not only Slowdays for weddings but also the weddings themselves, here in Piedmont, with the help of expert wedding planners to make those moments perfect and unforgettable.
