Historic Wedding Venues in Italy

Getting married at Palazzo al Piano was one of the happiest decisions we made in organizing our wedding. From our very first visit, we were struck by the beauty and harmony of the place: an elegant setting, surrounded by nature, where every space is designed to welcome guests gracefully and make every moment feel special. The garden, the indoor areas, and the courtyard are maintained with rare precision: there’s soul, taste, and a genuine sense of hospitality that can be felt everywhere. One of the things that impressed us most was the helpfulness and kindness of the entire staff—always discreetly present, ready to assist, offer advice, or step in when needed. Palazzo al Piano is not just beautiful—it’s a place that truly works, creating the ideal conditions for you to fully enjoy your special day. We couldn’t be happier with our choice. We would choose it again a hundred times over.

When I say ourselves and our guests were left speechless after this wonderful three day weekend I mean it. Working with Alberto & Giuliana to bring our dream wedding to life was such a pleasure. Trebbio speaks for itself in the venue and villas for our guests but truly what makes it so special is Alberto and team. His responsiveness and proactive nature is really want made us choose Trebbio and feel confident in our decision having not seen the venue before signing the agreement. Top notch quality across the board leaving our guests all raving about the entire event. The tour of the castle and wine tasting was truly unique and got everyone so excited for the weekend. Everyone loved their accommodations and the entire flow of the weekend went so smoothly. Giuliana and the restaurant staff are extremely accommodating and thoughtful. We have so many people calling us saying our wedding can’t be topped solely based off of the beautiful venue, quality of food and drink and the warm and helpful staff. 100 out of 10! Would do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing!

Words cannot truly capture the magic we experienced at Borgo Castelvecchi, but we’ll try — because this place made our wedding more than we ever could have wished for. We came to Castelvecchi with high hopes and big dreams… but also with a more modest budget than many other venues we’d looked at. The team not only made those dreams come true — they exceeded them in every way. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, cared for, and truly special. Everyone — Barbara, Daniele, Sofia, Lorenzo, and the full team, as well as Giovanni, the kind and passionate owner — went above and beyond to make sure we were supported, comfortable, and able to enjoy every moment. They are all so friendly, fully proficient in English, and made communication effortless. It honestly felt like we were in the hands of people who genuinely care about making your day perfect. The venue itself is pure magic — like a scene from a movie. The stunning views over the Chianti hills, the charming stone buildings, the peaceful, elegant garden — it feels as if you and your guests are the only people in the world. The garden for the ceremony is truly one of a kind, a perfect spot to say “I do” surrounded by nature’s purest, most intimate beauty. The food is outstanding, a true taste of Tuscany. From the breakfast, to the aperitivo, pizza dinner and wedding dinner - it was all delicious. Lorenzo and the team even made us a round tiramisu instead of a traditional wedding cake, and it was not only at a good price and very delicious, but it looked absolutely stunning — a perfect match for the surroundings. To quote the bride “Lorenzo’s tiramisu is the best I’ve ever had”. The wine, especially their own rich red, was a huge highlight — smooth, deep, and perfect for toasting to a new marriage. The rooms are all different, yet effortlessly elegant and cosy, filled with charming details and a rich sense of history. The venue also has beautiful “getting ready rooms”, perfect for both the bride and groom — intimate, beautiful spaces filled with character — a wonderful start to a wonderful day. We chose to make our own playlists and ren the speaker at Borgo Castelvecchi instead of hiring a DJ, and it turned out perfectly. The team made sure we had everything we needed, and the result was a wonderful, heartfelt celebration under the Tuscan sky. Borgo Castelvecchi is not just a venue — it’s a place filled with soul, kindness, and pure magic. We honestly felt we were in a world of our own, surrounded by love, happiness, and peace. If you’re looking for a wedding that’s intimate, stunning, stress-free, filled with character, and made possible by people who truly care, this is it. We will forever be grateful we chose Castelvecchi. We can’t wait to return — it feels like home.

We celebrated our wedding in Castello della Castelluccia in October 2023 with over 120 of our friends and family. The food, service, venue and atmosphere were second to none. Myriam gave us lots of tips for how best to make the most of the venue for our wedding, and her team were always on hand to ensure everything went smoothly. We had the most incredible celebration and would highly recommend Castello della Castelluccia to any other couples. Photos copyright @maisonpestea

In Friuli’s embrace, where the mountains rise, Through vineyards lush and under azure skies, A castle stands, regal, proud, and free, Castello di Spessa, our sanctuary. With turrets that kiss the heavens above, Amidst whispers of history, we found our love. Your hand in mine, as the winds softly sighed, In this realm of enchantment, we became unified. The sun painted shadows on stone’s gentle grace, As laughter and vows danced in this sacred space. The beauty around us, a canvas divine, Became the backdrop of love, eternally thine. Each sip of the wine, rich as the day, Echoes the promise that our hearts now relay. From the plains to the hills, with each winding road, In this splendid region, our dreams overflowed. In Friuli-Venezia, time ceased its flight, As we pledged our forever, a bond forged in light. May the echoes of joy linger soft in the air, For in this grand castle, we found our affair. So here, in this haven, where dreams intertwine, Our love story began, in a land so divine. Forever entwined, through valleys and skies, In Friuli’s embrace, where true love never dies. Allora, the server Romano @ La Tavernetta al Castello Di Spessa is by far the best server this side of Mediterranean Sea & under the Venetian sun. May he continue to shine through 100 more summers :) Ostunio + Butler

This venue is absolutely gorgeous. My husband and I live in Florida and wanted an international wedding and never saw the venue in person until our wedding. Marco, the venue owner, provided us with numerous recommendations for vendors. Additionally, he was always very prompt with responding when we had questions. All of our guests were able to stay on property for 2 nights. The food at the venue for our welcome dinner and wedding dinner was some of the best food we have had in our lives. We had multiple choices for food. Our wedding was perfect and Marco and Lavinia our wedding planner made sure everything went according to plan. We have nothing but amazing things to say about Marco and Tenuta di Forte Sorgnano. Our guests also had an amazing time and are still raving about their experience and the food. We truly will be dreaming of this place and our wedding day for the rest of our lives. Thank you Marco for outstanding service!

We had our wedding at Castello Brancaccio, and it was truly the most magical experience we could have ever imagined. The celebration lasted for three unforgettable days, with our guests staying two nights at the castle, and everything—from the rooms to the food to the atmosphere—was simply perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and professionalism. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. Throughout the entire three days, they made sure every detail was taken care of, and any small issues were resolved immediately with a smile. The wedding day itself was flawless. The ceremony in the castle’s stunning setting felt straight out of a fairytale, and the reception ran seamlessly thanks to the amazing team. The food was exceptional—authentic Italian dishes beautifully presented, with delicious local ingredients and a perfect balance of tradition and creativity. The drinks were just as fantastic, from Aperol Spritz to the local wines and cocktails served at the bar. Our guests were delighted with the comfortable and elegant rooms, and the rustic breakfast buffet the next morning was a real treat—freshly baked bread, cheeses, fruit, and great coffee served in the medieval kitchen. A special mention goes to our DJ, who kept the dance floor alive all night—everyone was up dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves until the very last song. It was exactly the lively, joyful atmosphere we had hoped for. Every part of the castle, from the terrace to the dining halls and gardens, was beautifully prepared and perfectly lit, creating the most romantic ambiance imaginable. We can confidently say this was a wedding we and our guests will remember for the rest of our lives. Castello Brancaccio is not just a venue—it’s an experience filled with heart, history, and outstanding hospitality. To the entire team: thank you for making our dream wedding come true. ❤️

Last wednesday we had our wedding at Masseria Spina. It was PERFECT. We started planning one year ago with Sara and Laura by our side for every detail. Since this was a destination wedding we selected their full planning service and felt the process was seamless, they compiled and coordinated vendors, color schemes, flowers, music, transportation. Meticulously organized. Dominico assisted us in creating a food and bar menu, gave us a video tour to visualize the venue and provided choice of wedding cakes! Marco arranged accommodations for our guest to stay both onsite and recommendations for local hotels to share with our guests. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by Bianca and Marie Lou in reception who gave us a tour of the grounds and checked us in to our quaint and idillic apartments on site. All the staff were very sweet, gracious and knowledgeable. When it was time for the wedding day, each moment was carefully timed and executed by Sara and Laura, like clockwork. They are a fabulous team, they exude professionalism while still maintaining a friendly and relaxed demeanor. In all honesty, we could not have dreamed a more perfect day. We are forever grateful for this team of people who made our dream a reality! We would recommend Sara, her team, and The Masseria Spina time and time again! Grazie mille!
