Your Questions, Answered: Planning Your Florence Wedding

We understand that the step from inspiration to planning comes with important questions.

Our expertise lies in providing clear answers and ensuring every detail is managed with precision and care. Below, we have addressed some of the inquiries we receive most often.

  • How much does a luxury wedding in Florence cost?

    A multi-day luxury wedding in Florence, blending city sophistication with Renaissance grandeur, typically represents an investment starting at €180,000. This allows for the hire of a magnificent historic venue, five-star guest accommodations, and a team of top-tier creative partners. We provide a detailed, custom budget proposal following our complimentary consultation.

  • What makes Florence a unique setting for a luxury wedding?

    Florence is a living museum. To marry here is to surround yourself and your guests with the world’s greatest art and architectural masterpieces. It offers a unique blend of urban energy and timeless beauty, perfect for couples who appreciate culture, history, and sophistication. The experience is one of refined elegance, with the entire city as your backdrop.

  • What are the key logistics we should consider for a wedding in Florence?

    While more accessible than other regions, the main logistical consideration in Florence is navigating the historic city center. Many areas are restricted to traffic (ZTL – Zona a Traffico Limitato). Our team are experts in managing these city logistics, from coordinating guest accommodations within walking distance of venues to arranging special permits for necessary transport.

  • What types of venues are characteristic of Florence?

    Florence is known for its magnificent palaces and nearby villas. The most characteristic venues include:

    • Historic Palazzi:
      Grand palaces within the city, offering opulent ballrooms and private courtyards.
    • Luxury Hotels:
      World-class hotels like the Four Seasons, which boasts the city’s largest private garden.
    • Renaissance Villas:
      Just outside the city center, these villas offer stunning views of the Florence skyline, combining countryside tranquility with city access.
  • How do you select the best local vendors for our Florence wedding?

    Our Florentine network includes vendors who are at the pinnacle of their craft. We collaborate with caterers who have earned awards, floral designers who create artistic masterpieces worthy of the Uffizi, and photographers who are masters at capturing the city’s iconic golden light against landmarks like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio.

  • Can you arrange exclusive local experiences for our guests in Florence?

    Absolutely. A Florentine wedding journey is rich with culture. We often arrange private, after-hours tours of museums, bespoke leather-making workshops with local artisans, or cooking classes focused on the art of Florentine cuisine.

  • When is the best month for a wedding in Florence?

    Late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October) are the most pleasant times for a wedding in Florence. The weather is warm but not overly hot, perfect for enjoying the city’s wonders and for outdoor ceremonies in the beautiful gardens overlooking Florence.
