Tucked between Florence and San Gimignano, this intimate Tuscany villa wedding felt more like a story than a timeline.
The couple chose a simple setup: no large crowd, no pressure — just close friends, deep connection, and a place that felt completely theirs.
A Private Villa Surrounded by Tuscan Hills
The villa sat quietly among vineyards and olive trees. Stone walls, warm light, and a view that stretched for miles. Everything about it felt personal — not curated, just lived in.
Getting ready was calm. The windows were open. Laughter echoed from one room to the next. The energy was grounded, intimate, and easy.
A Vintage Getaway Car + A Ceremony That Felt Real
After the ceremony, they stepped into a vintage Italian car — not for the show, but for the moment. A quick ride through winding country roads before heading back to the villa.
No rush. No forced traditions. Just them.
The ceremony itself was soft and heartfelt. Surrounded by the people who knew them best. A few tears, a few quiet laughs, and one very real “yes.”
Intimate Dinner With a Private Chef
Dinner was under the clear blue Tuscan sky. One table. Local wine. Handmade Italian cuisine. The kind of food that doesn’t need explaining. A private chef cooked everything on site — slow, intentional, and full of flavor.
The speeches were short and honest. Candles flickered as the sky shifted from gold to deep blue. It was slow, warm, and completely unfiltered.
Why a Tuscany Villa Wedding Just Works
There’s something about Tuscany that creates space. Space to slow down. To focus on connection over production. To spend time with the people you actually want to share the day with.
This wasn’t a “small wedding.” It was an intentional one. Everything served a purpose — from the layout of the table to the car they drove in on.
FAQs: Planning a Wedding at a Villa in Tuscany
Do you need a wedding planner for a Tuscany villa wedding?
It’s not required, but highly recommended — especially if you’re planning from abroad. A planner helps with local vendors, permits, and timing so you can actually enjoy the day.
Can you have a legal wedding in Tuscany as a foreign couple?
Yes, but many couples do the legal part at home and have a symbolic ceremony in Italy. It simplifies the paperwork and still feels meaningful.
What’s the best time of year to get married in Tuscany?
Late spring (May–June) and early fall (September) are ideal. Warm light, mild temps, fewer crowds. July and August can be hot, but evening ceremonies still work beautifully.
Is San Gimignano close enough to include in wedding portraits?
Absolutely. It’s just a short drive away and offers amazing backdrops — stone walls, medieval towers, and golden hour light over the hills.
