Introducing Villa de Lucca, a unique wedding venue in Templeton, California.

Welcome to Villa de Lucca, our private estate & elegant Tuscan-inspired villa, now featuring our newest addition, The Jasmine Sanctuary.

Our unique 10-acre venue sits high on a hill, with sweeping 360-degree views of mountains & rolling vineyards. The Jasmine Sanctuary is a one-of-a-kind, 2,400 sq ft wrought iron structure with climbing star jasmine vines, surrounded by olive trees & stunning gardens brimming with fields of lavender, rosemary & ornamental grasses. Meandering pathways lead you and your guests from the main Villa to a romantic garden where you can exchange vows, framed by the seemingly endless horizon. Afterward, lead your guests down to the majestic sanctuary for dinner & dancing under the stars.

This is the perfect romantic setting for your special day! Whether you are seeking an intimate gathering of 25 people or a fun, opulent party for 150, we can accommodate you all. Your lifetime of memories starts right here!

Facilities and Capacity

Villa de Luca is a 3,800 square-foot Mediterranean-style custom-built home with four bedrooms, four bathrooms featuring a split-wing design. The Villa boasts an impressive rotunda tower entryway, a Spanish-style roof, 17-foot high ceilings, and a series of impressive Doric-style columns lining the perimeter of the house. The kitchen features a six-foot bar, an 8-foot island counter, a five-burner gas range, two dishwashers, and a wine cooler. Villa de Luca also features a game room, fitted with a ping pong table, shuffleboard table, air hockey table, and a flat screen TV.

The Jasmine Sanctuary is right next to the wedding garden and both have unparalleled panoramic views of rolling hills and vineyards in all directions. The Jasmine Sanctuary is a dramatic wrought iron structure trellissed with jasmine vines and outfitted with three oversized swaying chandeliers & colossal sun sails. There is no venue quite like it...dress it up for romance or drama...whatever your style, this venue promises to be a unique and unforgettable venue to celebrate your special day.

Perfect venue!

We had THE best wedding weekend at Villa de Lucca 7/20/24. The Villa, the views, the sanctuary and all of the details Zenia & Jon have put into it to make it so special. It is truly such a unique and beautiful place to get married.

We loved that we were able to have our rehearsal dinner at the Villa the night before. And the convenience of having the ceremony, reception & after party all just steps away from each other. We felt that it made such a busy/hectic weekend so much more intimate. We had guests from all over the world attend & I can’t even count how many times we got asked “How did you find this place?” My husband had not seen the venue in person until we arrived for the weekend, & he was overwhelmed with how beautiful it actually was.

Zenia is amazing. She is very responsive and so kind. She really loves and embraces nature, which gives Villa de Lucca such warm and positive vibes. It is also such a neutral venue, so you can really make it whatever you want. I did tropical flowers which looked absolutely beautiful in the sanctuary.

For recommendations, I suggest renting a lot of umbrellas, as the sun can be intense. It also gets very windy, so just keep this in mind when planning your signage, decorations etc. We ended up not being able to use our centerpieces because the wind was blowing over the vases.

Villa de Lucca gave us an unforgettable wedding weekend. I would 1000% recommend to anyone. We are already thinking about when we can go back for another celebration!

Dream Wedding

We recently had our dream wedding at Villa de Lucca, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we started planning, Zenia was incredibly helpful and responsive, guiding us through every detail with care and attention. Their dedication ensured that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The moment we set foot on the grounds, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The picturesque surroundings and beautifully maintained facilities created a magical atmosphere that left a lasting impression on us and our guests.

Speaking of our guests, they were absolutely blown away by the beauty and charm of the venue. Throughout the day, we received countless compliments and questions about how we found such a gem. It’s clear that Villa de Lucca made a significant impact on everyone who attended.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our wedding. Villa de Lucca exceeded all our expectations and made our day truly special. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a breathtaking location and outstanding service for their big day.

Thank you, Villa de Lucca, for making our dream wedding a reality!
