We are so excited to tell you about our newly weds. Our team worked for many couples this month and as usual we are here to tell you about all of them!
Wolfgang and Anna’s wedding in Cortona, Umbria
This time we start with Umbria and Tuscany region with Wolfgang and Anna’s wedding on May 3rd.
Our experienced planner Elia and his staff planned for them a lovely wedding between Umbria and Tuscany.
Wolfgang is German and Anna is Russian, they choose Italy because they decided to spend the rest of their lives in Tuscany. How romantic! How beautiful!
They chose to celebrate their wedding ceremony in their own property to move then to an ancient villa.
They choose an elegant wedding with white romantic flowers: white roses, peonies lysianthus and gypsophila.
An outdoor aperitif on the steps of the villa and an elegant dinner to follow inside the precious rooms with frescoes on the walls and a wonderful vaulted ceiling.
For the wedding cake cut they choose park of the villa with fun and dances for all afterward.
A special thanks to Marco Miglianti photographer for these lovely shots!

Marissa and Michael’s wedding in Rome
In the meanwhile on the same day, Stefania planned a wonderful wedding in Rome. Marissa and Michael got married in a wonderful roman church: Santa Maria del Popolo right in the beating heart of eternal city in Piazza del Popolo.
Both bride and groom came from US and both have Italian heritage. Italo-American guests were super happy to be again in Italy… in Rome!
Marissa choose Santa Maria del Popolo because she literally loves Caravaggio paintings and inside this wonderful church you can admire stunning Caravaggio’s painting: St Peter’s Crucifixion.
Many churches in Rome host Caravaggio paintings and we can ensure that seeing them live is an experience of a lifetime!
For their reception Marissa and Michael choose one of the most beautiful panoramic venue in Rome.
A lovely restaurant located on Pincian hill in Villa Borghese park, just side of Piazza del Popolo.
The restaurant is located inside an ancient villa built in 1837.
Keeping in mind the idea of a Roman event she wanted a vintage theme with pastel colours such as gold, blue, peach and pink. We could not imagine a better choice for such a wonderful location.
A special thanks to Alessandro Zingone for beautiful photos.
