Overview
- The Tribunal of Grosseto issued the judgment reported on May 31, 2026 that requires a Grosseto-based event company to pay about €19,000 for damages and legal costs.
- The couple had paid more than €25,000 in 2022 for a full-package destination wedding in Monticchiello and had delegated all planning from Australia.
- Court records list multiple service failures on the wedding day, including wrong names in the ceremony booklet, non‑fresh floral arrangements, a hired car that had to be pushed, absent catering staff and missing glasses, and an undersized wedding cake.
- A six‑months‑pregnant guest fell into a pool because of an unmarked gap and was taken to the nearest emergency room, an incident the judge cited when assessing liability.
- The judge rejected some of the couple’s compensation claims but found enough breach of duty to award partial damages, a ruling that underscores risks for vendors handling remote destination events and the need to mark physical hazards.
