Tuscan villa weddings.

What a Tuscan Villa Wedding Involves

The shape of the day is the reason to marry at a private estate: an afternoon ceremony in the garden or a deconsecrated chapel, a drinks hour as the light drops, a long dinner outdoors, and dancing that does not have to stop for anyone else's bedtime. Because the estate is yours alone for the stay, the wedding is not squeezed between a hotel's other bookings.

On the legal side: some estates can host a binding civil ceremony, but many couples complete the legal formalities at home or at the local comune and hold a symbolic ceremony at the villa, which removes the paperwork from the day itself. We tell you which is possible at each villa before you fall for it.

Which Villas Are Licensed for Weddings

Weddings sit mostly with our Historic Estate and Restored Borgo villas, the properties with the scale, the grounds and, crucially, the licence. Capacity varies by estate, from intimate dinners up to the larger celebrations of a hundred or more. "Licensed" matters: a beautiful villa without an events licence cannot host the party, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Where the guest list outgrows the bedrooms, we pair the wedding estate with neighbouring villas so the wider party stays within walking or short-driving distance and the celebration stays in one place.

Planners, Catering and Suppliers

We are not the planner, and we would not pretend to be. What we do is introduce the professional wedding planners we trust in each part of Tuscany, and the catering, whether the estate's own kitchen or a brought-in chef brigade, flowers, music, photography and transport from a vetted roster. You keep one relationship with us for the villa and the logistics; the planner runs the day. Our guide to choosing wedding suppliers in Tuscany explains how we shortlist. And for the full landscape, villa, castle, borgo or winery, start with the complete guide to Tuscany wedding venues.

Frequently asked

How many guests can a Tuscan villa wedding hold?

Our largest historic estates host roughly 60 to 120 for the celebration, subject to each property's individual licence. Intimate weddings of up to about 30 suit a much wider range of the collection.

Can we hold a legally binding ceremony at the villa?

Some estates can host a legal civil ceremony; many couples instead complete the legal formalities at home or at the local comune and hold a symbolic ceremony at the villa. We will tell you which is possible at each villa.

Do you plan the wedding yourselves?

No, we represent the villas and introduce the planners and suppliers we trust. The planning is run by a professional planner, with us alongside on the property and logistics.

When is the best time to marry in Tuscany?

Late May into June and September into early October: warm, lower risk of extreme heat, and the light at its best. July and August are the hottest and busiest months.

Where do the wedding guests sleep?

On the estate where possible. For larger weddings we pair the primary villa with nearby properties so the party stays together.

How far ahead should we book?

Twelve to eighteen months for a peak-season Saturday at the most-requested estates.
