During the entire planning process, our clients enjoy the assistance of an American-based firm that is available at any moment and speaks their own language. At the same time, our operational staff is based in Italy with both Italian and international members who know the Italian territory, culture, language, and traditions down to the most intrinsic details, and are used to dealing with Italian industry professionals on a daily basis.

Our unique organization allows us to know and connect extremely well with both the American market and the Italy special-event industry, bridging between the two and overcoming any possible language and cultural barriers. Our entire staff is extremely proficient and experienced with the dynamic challenges that may arise from working between two different cultures and continents.

Our team is comprised of Event Planners and Event Managers with years of experience in the USA, in Italy, and across the globe. This is why an event in Italy, organized by an American client, with guests from several different countries, is one of our specialties.
In the early stages of planning, we will help clarify the overall vision of the event, realistic timelines, and help anticipate the needs, wants, and desires of the event’s guests. We provide customized solutions and options for all requests, spanning from elegant fashion shows, business conferences, excursions to legendary auto maker brands, to casual and intimate gatherings such as cooking classes, bike tours, vineyard visits, countryside excursions, sails around the Meditteranean, and romantic weddings in historic residences. All this, while keeping in mind that an event abroad is extremely different than an event in your hometown. For starters, transportation and time zones make a big difference in the overall budget of time and money. Our assistance in providing a realistic and reliable event budget is paramount in avoiding unwelcome surprises, and instead leaves our clients with a great taste in their mouths once the event is done.

Pre and Post Event Excursions
Organizing an event in Italy, for any American individual, couple, or organization, should also be an opportunity for them and their guests to visit such a unique country. Italy is renowned around the world for its history, contemporary design, fashion, architecture, elegance, beauty, hospitality, and cuisine. When hosting an event overseas you may find it appropriate to offer additional excursions or experiences to your guests. At Three Tomatoes Italy, we provide full planning for any customized visit in every part of the Italian territory, from the Alps to Sicily, including renowned cities such as Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, as well as the most unique secret gems. After travelling across the globe it is unlikely you will just turn around and go straight home upon the conclusion of your event. Whether you are seeking adventure through horseback riding, boat cruises, and bike tours or a more cultural experience with museums, historical tours and castle visits, Three Tomatoes Italy will make all the arrangements. We can cater these excursions to your event type as well as the people attending. From wine tastings and shopping trips in Milan, to gondola rides in Venice and fishing expeditions off the coast; we will make your experience one to remember.
Cuisine
It’s not an overstatement to say that all around the world, italian cuisine and its unique traditions do not require an introduction. Its appreciation for authentic and simple ingredients, combined with the aesthetics of a beautiful food presentation, is what makes it a top choice of food and wine connoisseurs in any country. One of the most important factors in hosting a successful event is providing a delicious meal to your guests. There is no better place to do this than Italy. Italian food has a way of warming the soul and bringing people together. Over the years, we have come to select some of the most refined Italian restaurants operated by renowned chefs and restaurateurs that value a contemporary twist on the Italian culinary traditions, as well as lesser known but equally delicious smalltown trattorias.
Enjoying the Italian cuisine is more than a delectable piece of art created by professional chefs; it may also be the pleasure of cooking and learning new recipes. It’s our pleasure to provide cooking classes in Italy for you and your guests. In addition, for gastronomy lovers and passionate wine-lovers, visits to vineyards and “cantine” are an important ingredient of our culinary experience in Italy.
At Three Tomatoes, a delicious and exquisitely executed meal is at the heart of everything we do. Through 40 years of service at our American-based catering company, we have learned the pivotal role a meal plays in making an event feel like home. We will work with you to create a menu that fits both your event style and guests preferences. Whether you seek an international menu that caters to the various taste buds of your guest list or you want to bring your favorite American classics abroad, let our team help you work out the details.
Logistics and Accommodations
All of the preparation and “behind-the-scenes” activities are the foundation for allowing a great occasion to develop on the stage of the event. This is why understanding how to plan and solve any logistical event planning issue is critical. This is an area where we at Three Tomatoes Italy really excel.

Safety, Security, and Privacy
Safety and discretion are paramount for our clients and their guests no matter the theme of the event. Some of these issues are perceived differently from country to country. This is why, when you are planning your event in Italy, it is important to rely on professionals like us to handle safety, security, and privacy in the context of your unforgettable event in Italy. We understand the laws and regulations of this beautiful country, its customs, culture and mentality. It’s in between these factors, that a gap between visitors and locals may lie, and we are here to prevent any such issues from happening. Our expertise will prevent any issue with these type of matters, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the best that Italy has to offer.

Whether you are concerned with the physical security of a location or the privacy of a high profile guest, we will ensure that the proper precautions are taken. We will take into consideration things like building location and internal layout, security personnel requirements, credentialing, and availability of emergency medical services.
