-
Ceremony: Options include the Hillside Belvedere, the gardens, and the on-site chapel for religious ceremonies, which seats 70.

Cocktail Hour & Reception: The estate offers several outdoor spaces, which allows us to move the day forward without unnecessary backtracking. Receptions for up to 150 guests are usually held in the Main Square or the Olive Groves. We manage the flow between locations so guests move through the day without delays.
-
Dinner & Celebrations: We work with a short list of trusted caterers who know the venue well. Evening celebrations can take place in the Italian Garden or Main Square. Music is permitted until 2:00 AM, with an option to extend to 3:00 AM for a fee.
