Joanne and Justin held a religious ceremony in Florence, and returned to their reception and accommodation at this stunning villa just a few miles south of Florence.

This location makes handling the guest's accommodation and event simple, as the four star hotel can be rented with exclusibve use for just a few days over a weekend, giving an accessible and breath-taking setting both for relaxing accommodation cose to the capital of renaissance art, and a isolated and personal setting for the wedding day itself.

Joanne and Justin held an informal buffet for the aperitifs in the gardens of the villa, and a seated meal on the covered loggia, with Italian and Irish musical entertainment to follow.

The meal was catered by our top supplier to match the couples specific needs: a style mixing traditional Tuscan dishes, with cuisine that was suitable and enjoyable by the members of the wedding party less used to international travel.

The wedding ceremony was a full church event in the heart of the historic city of Florence, complete with the bride being given away, hymns and readings, exchange of vows and exchange of rings.

The foral style was designed with a mix of white and red flowers hardy enough for the heat of August - though the temperature even in the hight of summenr at the villas out of town is always more bearable than in the larger cities.
