On a quiet road just outside Siena, surrounded by the hills of Chianti Classico, sits a 14th-century villa with its original 18th-century interiors intact. The rooms feature hand-painted wallpapers and historic furnishings, creating a private, formal, and deeply authentic atmosphere.
A Villa di Geggiano wedding is an exclusive-use event for up to 180 guests with outdoor dining in a marquee. The historic villa also offers its original 18th-century ballroom for intimate indoor dinners of up to 60. Executing an event at this protected heritage site requires a professional Tuscany wedding planner to manage the complex logistics, vendor coordination, and guest experience.
Villa di Geggiano is for the couple who wants true historical authenticity, not a modern interpretation of it. Its status as a National Heritage site is its greatest strength; the rooms are preserved, not just decorated, offering a backdrop of genuine 18th-century aristocratic life. Paired with its exclusive buyout policy, the estate provides absolute privacy.
The key logistical reality is the limited on-site accommodation for 10 guests. This requires a clear, well-managed plan for guest lodging and transportation, which becomes a central part of our work.
This venue is ideal for clients who value protected history and want a formal, elegant, multi-day affair where the logistics for guests are handled for them, completely.

Additional costs to factor include a mandatory purchase of estate wine, a €1,000 fee for using external caterers, and potential charges for event setup days or extending the party past midnight. Our budget management process accounts for these details from the start.
For a weekend wedding at Villa di Geggiano with 100 guests, a realistic total budget typically starts between €150,000 and €200,000.
This estimate accounts for the weekend buyout and event fee (€21,000+), catering (from €170/person), high-end floral design and production, entertainment, content creation, and our full-service planning and design fee.
The primary variables that expand the budget are the scale of floral installations and the potential need for a large, fully produced marquee for weather security. We provide a detailed, line-item budget early in our process to give you full financial control.
The on-site accommodation for 10 provides a private, convenient space for immediate family or the wedding party. We build the guest allocation plan around this core group and manage all lodging and transport for the remaining guests.
For all other wedding guests, we secure room blocks at trusted partner hotels in and around Siena, located 10 to 15 minutes away. We manage the bookings and coordinate all shuttle transportation, ensuring guests move between their hotels and the villa safely and on schedule.
The venue’s historic character provides a distinct canvas for design. We used the authentic 18th-century interiors to achieve a client’s goal of a weekend that felt like a private, aristocratic gathering rather than a typical wedding.
Planning a wedding at a historic, protected estate like Villa di Geggiano requires precise logistical control. Our process organizes every detail, from vendor access to guest transport, giving you a clear plan and total confidence in the outcome.
