Why choose a wedding location in Tuscany
Exactly why one should rely on the expertise of a wedding planner able to agree with you on the style of the wedding, the flow of the event, the priorities and services you are looking for when considering a destination wedding in Tuscany.
All the venues are beautiful in their own ways, but you need to ask yourself if they are suitable to the style you are looking for, whether you can play music until late or there is a time limit, if the light is adequate, how to organize guest transportation, etc.
That’s why it’s hard to reply the question on the best wedding venues in Tuscany. Wedding villas and resorts surely offer impeccable service and incomparable glamor, but also medieval castles that can be rented for your event, where we can plan a fairytale event.
The main question for a wedding in Tuscany is whether you want the venue for the sole event or you wish to have all your guests stay on site and organize everything there. This second option is selected by the couples who want to emphasize the whole 2-day experience more than on the wedding itself; more on being together than on the wow effect of the wedding day.
Another important detail regards the length of the party: some Tuscany venues, especially in the Chianti and Siena areas, allow outdoor parties until the next morning, as no neighbors would be disturbed by the music. We organized amazing events in these venues in the past, with extraordinary bands that entertained guests who danced until very late at night.
In collective imagination, Tuscany is where you can organize al fresco dinners with long tables placed under a pergola, trays of typical tuscan food in the middle and flasks of red wine. This vision might sound cliché but it surely represents a life style, especially a summer one, typical of the lucky people who live in this wonderful region.
We can obviously have fun organizing dinners that are a true welcome to Tuscany, with wooden tables decorated with lemons, fruit, vegetables and herbs under pergolas, and large buffet corners where chefs prepare pasta and pizza before your guests, and where the tables are adorned with platters of our famous Tuscan hors d’oeuvres with crostini, marinated vegetables, cold cuts and pinzimonio.
We often suggest a themed dress code so the photos will make you look like you are in a 1950s movie. Music plays a fundamental role in these events: a guitar duo playing Italian folk music, or a small dance band reminding your guests of summer festivals in Italian squares. The important thing is that your guests dance to the rhythm of timeless songs.
After a welcome dinner celebrating the Tuscan style, that allows your guests to get to know each other, your wedding day can enjoy more creativity and originality. That’s why we always suggest picking venues that allow more possibilities, with grounds that do not compel you, and us planners, to make compulsory decisions.
Tuscany is unrivalled in this, there are Renaissance wedding villas with large gardens, castles with magnificent courtyards, where you feel like you are before an empty slate that leaves sufficient amount of room to creativity. In these venues, we have organized setting with tables arranged like a flower, rounded dance floors, stages large enough for 15-member bands, and so on.
This is Tuscany, a wide variety of places and sceneries. Whether you decide for an outdoor ceremony, a church wedding, or an event in a tuscan borgo or the vineyards, you will have a bounty of wonderful backdrops, medieval or renaissance churches, hamlets, agriturismo, villas and castles to choose from. We can also organize a romantic Tuscany beach wedding. You have beautiful cities of art like Florence, Lucca, Siena, Montalcino, Pienza, San Gimignano and many other hidden gems.
Tuscany is undoubtedly the only region that offers this amazing assortment.
