Villa Cora wedding venue in Florence, Italy, is a chic and stylish 5-star luxury hotel. An elegant location just a stone’s throw from Florence city centre, the hotel provides all the comforts and pampering you need after a day visiting the museums and shops of Florence.
Grand Hotel Villa Cora is also an excellent choice for those seeking a wedding venue in Florence city centre. A short journey takes you right to the centre of Florence, a wedding photographers paradise!
Located near the famous Boboli gardens and with lovely views of the city, it’s easy to imagine special events and destination weddings at this wedding villa.
Our lovely couple comes from California. They decide to throw an exclusive party for their closest family and friends and celebrate their wedding at Villa Cora.
The bride and bridesmaids get ready in the Imperial suite – a most impressive room overlooking the gardens and Florence.
The bridesmaids are wearing a lovely soft blush pink to complement the color palette for the flowers and stationery.
The groom and his best men are ready for the ceremony. They only require a few photos as they add their finishing touches and boutonnieres.
The ceremony will take place on the lawn to the side of the villa as this is the ideal size for our mid-size group. The groom is excited and ready for his Villa Cora wedding but before we can start the ceremony we must do a “first-look”.
The bride and groom have decided to see each other prior to the ceremony. This way, they can privately share the emotion of seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day before the ceremony itself.
The ceremony lasts about 25 mins and is humorous and emotional from start to finish. After the ceremony, they take some group photos with their families and the bridal party.
Next, the newlyweds open the celebration at their Villa Cora wedding buy opening some champagne. Plenty of delicious food and refreshing drinks and cocktails are served on the terrace at the back of Villa Cora.
During the cocktails we also quickly head to Piazzale Michelangelo to take a few photos with the sunset. We find a few quiet spots and enjoy the views and warmth of the sun at this special time of day. Then we return to Villa Cora for the wedding reception!
The dinner takes place in the spectacular mirrored hall. This sumptuous and extravagant backdrop create a wonderful atmosphere for a lavish banquet and is one of the main reasons couples choose Villa Cora for their wedding.
Together with the delicious food and wine, there are entertaining heartfelt speeches. The evening concludes with the cutting of the cake, and then everyone heads downstairs for dancing and cocktails.
As a luxury venue, please don’t expect this to an economical solution for your wedding. That would be wasting your time. It’s a high-end venue offering services and amenities to match. A Villa Cora wedding is an exclusive and luxury affair at one of Florence’s best boutique hotels.
Most clients decide to have a symbolic wedding in the gardens of the hotel, so this means that you don’t have to worry about transportation. Your guests might all stay at Villa Cora, or some may lodge elsewhere and just come to Villa Cora for the wedding. But a short taxi journey or a courtesy bus is easy to arrange.
