When Daniela and Andrew first shared their vision with us, they spoke of a dream woven from romance, history, and the unmistakable magic of Tuscany. They pictured a celebration that felt both magnificently grand and deeply personal for their guests traveling from New York, a fairytale brought to life within the walls of a historic Italian castle. We knew instantly that Castello di Celsa, with its timeless elegance and breathtaking vistas, was the perfect canvas for their story.

The Morning Calm within the Castle Walls
The day began with a beautiful sense of anticipation. Daniela and Andrew prepared in separate private suites within the castle, a quiet moment of reflection before the day’s festivities unfolded. The atmosphere was one of serene excitement, with the soft autumn light pouring through the historic windows. This calm is something we intentionally curate for our couples. As Sabrina always says, “The wedding day begins the moment you wake up. Our role is to ensure that from that first moment, the only thing you feel is joy and anticipation, because we have already taken care of everything else.”
A Vow Exchanged in the Tuscan Sun
The weather was a gift; a perfect, warm autumn afternoon. The ceremony took place in Castello di Celsa’s magnificent Italian gardens, an iconic setting that requires little embellishment. Guests were seated facing the dramatic castle silhouette as Daniela and Andrew exchanged vows in a truly emotional ceremony. Our team ensured that every logistical detail was invisible, allowing the focus to remain entirely on the couple and the heartfelt promises they made.
A Golden Hour Welcome
Following the ceremony, guests were guided to another part of the grounds for the aperitivo. This is a crucial part of the guest journey, a moment to exhale and connect. As guests enjoyed Prosecco and exquisite finger foods, the golden hour light bathed the castle in a warm glow. It was a relaxed and social atmosphere, filled with mingling and laughter, giving Daniela and Andrew precious time to connect with their loved ones who had traveled so far to be with them.
Luminous Dinner & A Courtyard Celebration
As evening fell, we revealed the next chapter of the celebration. Guests were welcomed into a stunning glass marquee, which we had transformed into a luminous dining space filled with chandeliers and fairy lights. The design created an atmosphere that was both grand and incredibly intimate. Following a beautiful meal, the final surprise awaited. We led guests back into the castle’s ancient courtyard, which had been transformed into an open-air dessert room and dance floor. Here, under the stars, the couple cut their cake, shared their first dance, and celebrated with cocktails and a crazy, joyful party late into the night.
