Wedding Venues in Italy

This venue was absolutely amazing. The views and atmosphere were breathtaking. Photos don’t do it justice. The staff were extremely professional, caring, and kind. They treated us like family. The quality of service was exceptional. Anything we needed, they prioritized immediately. Last, but not least, our wedding planner was the best. Marta went above and beyond to make sure we (bride & groom) were comfortable, relaxed, and stress-free. Worth every penny. We will cherish the memory of this venue and hotel with us always, as will our guests. They loved it and couldn’t have been more satisfied!!!

We were fortunate enough to have our wedding here at this incredible venue. Our guests were blown away by how incredible it was. Being able to have all of our wedding guests stay in the one venue, enjoy the scenery, swimming pools, wines etc. It was like something out of a fairytale. All our guests said they will struggle to go to a wedding that will top it. Literally can't wait to go back and visit it again in future.

We chose Tenuta delle Ripalte for our wedding because we needed a place that could welcome our friends and relatives offering them everything the sea has to offer, we were in fact guests of the structure for 1 week organizing boat trips, horseback riding and tastings of their wines. The large villas also allowed us to have barbecues and dinners all together. I think that for every anniversary we will return to this paradise. The cuisine and the staff are incredible, their wines and the internal wedding planning service are highly recommended, they have thought of everything!

The staff here is amazing — we booked this venue without visiting it before and we will be staying here again for an anniversary. The grounds and area are amazing, the staff was so caring and helpful, and (for those looking at a destination wedding) they were very accommodating for our guests who had not traveled to Italy before. We paid for the day of coordination service and I never heard from a single vendor and could just focus on the day. Giorgio handled it all. We also communicated via WhatsApp and they had a list of suggested vendors, so as someone who did not hire a planner and was not based in Europe was incredibly convenient. The food was 11/10. Every guest said it was the most beautiful wedding they’d attended with every detail and corner of the grounds being cared for and well maintained. We used all of the rooms and comfortably fit 25 people on site. There were lots of random nooks so everyone had a space to hang out over the coming days. We only wished we had more time there!

Gaia and her team were phenomenal! We planned an international wedding here and felt assisted through the whole process and the communication was amazing. The day of the wedding, everything came together the way I had envisioned it. There was plenty of communication. The food and staff for the event were also amazing! This way probably the best food I had during my entire trip. Aside from this, the views are spectacular. I cannot recommend La Madonnina more.

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.

tl;dr: The staff at Castelbrando are very experienced and easy to work with. They definitely went above and beyond to make our destination wedding so, so special. Castelbrando was the only venue that my now-husband and I visited - it was suggested by his family who live locally in Italy (we are currently located in California). Then the pandemic hit and we simply didn't have an opportunity to see other venues... That being said, we couldn't be happier with our decision! Location: Location was slightly tricky since Castelbrando isn't located in a major city. There's a train station nearby, but you would still need a ride from there to and from the castle. Everyone was able to arrive and leave here no problem though. Pre-wedding planner: Before finding a planner, we were able to make the arrangements with Brunella in Banquets. We chose on-site locations for the ceremony, aperitifs/cocktail hour, reception, and after party. Most of our contact was via email, which was preferable due to the time difference. She mentioned the hotel has wedding planners to recommend since we didn't have any, but we decided to find one on our own - she (the planner) then took over most of the contact with Brunella and Castelbrando via email and phone. Wedding suite: We booked Alcova del Conte for a few days, which was an amazing suite if it's an option for you. It was so gorgeous and spacious with lots of nooks/private areas, a separate closet (perfect for hiding my wedding gown from the groom), a split bathroom, and more, all of which made is perfect for a bunch of bridesmaids to get ready on the day of the wedding. Ceremony, San Martino church: A deconsecrated Roman Catholic church which was somewhat small, but still beautiful and perfect for our non-religious ceremony. As the bride, I waited in the lounge (near Reception) until it was time, then walked up the central stairway to enter the church. There weren't quite enough seats for everyone inside the church, but there was a side room that we decided not to use, and the unseated guests had plenty of space to stand at the back. Aperitifs / cocktail hour, courtyard: After the ceremony was cocktail hour in the courtyard right outside the church. Lots of beautiful views surrounding the castle. There were plenty of tables and chairs around, and the setup for the musicians, the bar, and all the food was perfect with the food spread out across different tables so there was never a long wait. Reception, Sansovino Theatre: Another beautiful space in Castelbrando! Very medieval castle-looking, which I love. We had

Absolutely magical venue. It exceeded all our expectation, stunning location flawless service and an unforgettable atmosphere. Aleksandar is incredible: nothing is ever too much, he goes above and beyond with such a kindness. The staff were attentive, professional and warm. We couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to celebrate our wedding

We celebrated our wedding at this wonderful agriturismo in Lajatico and it was simply an unforgettable experience. The venue is surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Tuscan countryside, creating a romantic, authentic, and relaxing atmosphere that amazed all of our guests. The owner was incredibly kind, helpful, and always available throughout the entire planning process, assisting us with many aspects of the wedding. Thanks to the wide range of services offered, we were able to organize everything very easily, from the photographer to the florist, receiving valuable advice and working with excellent professionals. We also had the opportunity to choose a traditional Tuscan menu, carefully prepared and absolutely delicious — our guests are still talking about it today! Everything was organized with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an authentic and elegant wedding surrounded by the beauty of Tuscany

We had an extraordinary experience visiting this location! We met with the owners, who were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they hosted us as we explored it for our wedding venue. It was our top choice, and honestly, if we hadn’t decided on a church wedding, this would have been the place. For any couple dreaming of a true Italian wedding, this is the location for you. The views are breathtaking, you can even see Vesuvius and the property itself is stunning, with gorgeous lemon trees and plenty of parking. The location is exceptional, and every detail makes it feel like the destination of your dreams. I had the pleasure of working with Iolanda, who was absolutely incredible, and I also tried their food… let’s just say, mamma mia! Truly unforgettable.
