Italy Wedding Venues - detailed guide

As your wedding photographer I want to make your life easier and for this reason I have created links with various wedding planners in Italy (from different regions) who are experienced about weddings in Italy and the various regions of Italy. I here share with you the best venues and locations for your wedding day in Italy.

Whether you are more interested in a farmhouse wedding venue or a beach wedding venue in Italy, I have compiled the list which should serve as an ultimate guide to reception locations in Italy.

The selection includes both budget venue options as well more elaborate wedding venues to ensure that all type of wedding packages are covered.

WEDDING REGIONS IN ITALY

Although Italy is one country in reality each region of Italy is different and the region / area you choose will dictate your wedding’s vibe, your budget, and even your guest experience.

Below are the main regions which you need to consider for your wedding in Italy:

1. TUSCANY

The Classic Dream

When people picture a wedding in Italy, they are usually picturing Tuscany. It is the land of rolling vineyards, medieval hilltop towns, and cypress trees. It is perfect for couples looking for a rustic yet elegant "Under the Tuscan Sun" vibe.

Advantages:

  • The Scenery: The backdrop is unparalleled. Imagine golden hour light hitting vineyards and stone farmhouses (fattorias). It is naturally photogenic.

  • Food and Wine: Tuscany is the heart of Italian wine country (Chianti, Brunello). Your menu will feature incredible rustic dishes—bistecca alla fiorentina, fresh pecorino, and handmade pici pasta.

  • Venue Variety: You have your pick of private villas, medieval castles, and renovated monasteries that offer total exclusivity.

Disadvantages:

  • The Heat: If you are planning a summer wedding (July/August), it can be scorching hot with little breeze.

  • Transportation: Tuscany is rural. While beautiful, venues are often located down long, white gravel roads. You will need to organize shuttle buses for guests as cars or taxis cannot easily reach remote spots.

2. AMALFI COAST

Glamour and Vertical Luxury

For the couple that wants high drama and high fashion, the Amalfi Coast delivers. With towns like Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi clinging to cliffs overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, it feels like a movie set.

Advantages:

  • The Views: The "wow" factor is instant. Terraced gardens looking over the deep blue sea create an atmosphere of sheer luxury.

  • Atmosphere: It is incredibly romantic. The lemons, the bougainvillea, and the scent of the sea create a sensory experience your guests will never forget.

  • Accommodation: The coast is dotted with high-end, boutique hotels where guests can turn the wedding into a week-long vacation.

Disadvantages:

  • The Cost: This is one of the most expensive wedding destinations in Italy. Venue hire and logistics come with a premium price tag.

  • Accessibility: The coast is steep and winding. Getting from point A to point B involves navigating hairpin turns on a bus. It is not suitable for guests with significant mobility issues, and seasickness can be a factor for those traveling by boat.

3. LAKE COMO

Old World Sophistication

Lake Como has long been the playground of the aristocracy and celebrities (think George Clooney). It offers a cooler, greener, and more refined vibe than the coast. It is surrounded by the majestic Alps.

Advantages:

  • Elegance: The venues here are often historic palazzos and grand villas with manicured gardens. It feels dignified and timeless.

  • The Weather: Being in the north and surrounded by mountains, the air is fresher. It is much more comfortable in July and August compared to the south.

  • Convenience: You can easily access other parts of Italy and Switzerland, and many venues are accessible by boat, which adds a fun element to guest transfers.

Disadvantages:

  • Unpredictability: Being a mountain lake, the weather can change quickly. Sudden mist or rain showers are common even in summer.

  • Traffic Restrictions: Many of the towns (like Bellagio) are car-free or have strict traffic regulations. Logistics for moving luggage and guests can be tricky and strictly timed.

4. PUGLIA

The Rustic Chic Trend

Located in the "heel of the boot," Puglia is currently the hottest spot for design-forward couples. It is famous for Trulli (conical stone huts) and whitewashed towns overlooking the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

Advantages:

  • Value for Money: Generally, Puglia offers better value for money compared to Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast. You can often get a more exclusive venue for a lower budget.

  • The Cuisine: It is a foodie paradise. The region is known for its olive oil, burrata cheese, and fresh seafood. The food here is light, fresh, and incredible.

  • Beaches: You have the best of both worlds: the countryside charm and some of Italy’s best sandy beaches.

Disadvantages:

  • Travel Time: It is a bit of a trek. The nearest airports (Bari or Brindisi) require connections, and it is a long drive or train ride from Rome or Florence.

  • Heatwaves: Being in the south, the summer heat is intense and dry. While the sea breeze helps, midday ceremonies can be uncomfortable.

5. SICILY

The Dramatic History

If you want a wedding with a sense of drama and history, Sicily is the choice. From the baroque architecture of Noto to the active volcano of Mount Etna, this island is fierce and beautiful.

Advantages:

  • Diverse Landscapes: You can get married in a citrus orchard, on a black sand beach, or in an ancient Greek temple. The options are vast.

  • Cultural Experience: Sicily has a unique culture distinct from mainland Italy. The traditions, the pastries (cannoli!), and the hospitality are unique.

  • Long Season: The south stays warm longer than the north, making May, June, September, and October perfect.

Disadvantages:

  • Wind: Depending on which side of the island you choose, it can be very windy, which can be a nightmare for hair and delicate decor.

  • Organization: Things can move at a slower pace in Sicily compared to the north. You need a very organized local wedding planner to navigate the local bureaucracy and ensure vendors arrive on time.

6. ROME & FLORENCE

The City Break

For couples who want culture and convenience over seclusion, getting married in one of Italy's major art cities is a fantastic option.

Advantages:

  • Accessibility: Your guests can fly direct and won't need a car. They can walk to museums, restaurants, and sites.

  • Iconic Backdrops: Saying your vows with the Colosseum or the Duomo in the background is unbeatable.

  • No Car Needed: You save significantly on transportation logistics as everyone stays in the city center.

Disadvantages:

  • Noise and Crowds: These are bustling cities. You will likely have tourists watching your ceremony (unless you are in a completely private courtyard), and traffic noise is a reality.

  • Red Tape: Getting permits for photoshoots in public squares or using historic venues involves strict municipal regulations and noise restrictions that end parties earlier than in rural villas.
