Congratulations on choosing Italy as your wedding destination! Choosing an amazing wedding venue is the most time consuming part of your wedding planning, in particular if you’re looking abroad. This section is here to save you time. Not only do we help you to find the perfect wedding venue, we make sure to allow your bridal party to stay overnight. No matter what type of Italian wedding you have in mind, we got you covered! From a villa in Rome, a rustic vineyard wedding location, a castle in the forever green hills of Umbria or overlooking Lake Como, or an unforgettable seaside masseria in Puglia.

Why our villa’s are the perfect wedding venue?

With travel bans and restrictions imposed by governments around the world, in a drastic attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19, it is no surprise that private holiday homes saw a surge in requests by brides and grooms looking for an intimate wedding venue, which could ensure safety, sanitation and compliance with the number of people allowed to gather. Love is always in the air, luckily, and the pandemic has perhaps postponed, but not discouraged couples to tie the knot.

Plus, it’s always so fun to see wedding celebrations that extend beyond a single day through group activities like cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, beach days and horseback riding, olive picking or a group visit to one of the country’s many cultural cities. Are you ready to get your wanderlust on? Because these destination wedding venues are sure to get you packing your bags!
