A Quiet Moment Before the Magic
The wedding day began with a palpable sense of joyful anticipation. We believe the hours before the ceremony are just as important as the celebration itself. Hailey and Joshua prepared separately in beautifully appointed suites within the castle, surrounded by an atmosphere of calm and excitement. We ensure this time is sacred; a space for reflection, laughter, and quiet moments with their closest friends and family before the incredible day unfolds. Every detail, from the delicate stationery to the bride’s gown, was a chapter in the story waiting to be told.
A Ceremony of Heritage and Heart
Following their emotional first look on the castle grounds, Hailey and Joshua retreated inside the castle for one of the day’s most significant moments: the Ketubah signing. We arranged an intimate and private gathering with their rabbi and immediate family, creating a deeply personal and meaningful start to their official union. While they shared this sacred tradition, guests began to arrive. Our team greeted them warmly, seamlessly ushering them into the breathtaking Italian gardens, where Champagne was served and the magnificent chuppah awaited. This invisible execution of logistics ensures that the guest experience is one of pure wonder, not waiting.
A Traditional Aperitivo at the Castle
As the final words of the ceremony were spoken and the glass was broken, an eruption of joy filled the gardens. The newlyweds led their guests to the castle’s side lawn for the cocktail hour, a quintessential Italian aperitivo. With the stunning castle as their backdrop, guests mingled over prosecco and exquisite canapés. The air was filled with laughter and the sounds of a live string quartet, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated celebration.
Dinner, Dreams, and Unforgettable Moments
As the sun set, casting a golden glow over Tuscany, we revealed the evening’s masterpiece. The wedding reception unfolded under the stars in a space transformed into an open-air ballroom. Long, elegant tables were adorned with lush florals and soft candlelight, while magnificent chandeliers were suspended overhead, creating a breathtaking canopy of light against the night sky. The fairytale vision was now a reality. Every element, from the bespoke menu to the flawless service, was designed to let Hailey, Joshua, and their guests feel completely immersed in the magic of the moment.
