What they’re saying

“My goal was to feel like we were transported to the Amalfi Coast for an afternoon. From the hanging bougainvillea, the limoncello spritzes and the Italian market with draped garlic and chilies, this was all about authentic nods to the perfect Italian summer.”

— Sarah Trott, Former Bachelor Contestant

“I was inspired to create this iconic lemon meringue dessert tower after seeing some Italian weddings offer a tiramisu tower instead of cake. I love the non-traditional nods and made my own twist on this trend.”

— Sarah Trott, Former Bachelor Contestant

“[Hope Loves Company is] the only nonprofit in the US dedicated to supporting children who have a loved one battling ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). This was a special way to honor my dad, Tom Trott, during our celebration.”
