Why We Love Planning Weddings at Villa di Monaciano
As Sabrina always says, “A venue must have a heart.” Villa di Monaciano has one that beats with centuries of history. Its beauty lies in its soulful authenticity, offering a dramatic visual story that contrasts a formal Italianate garden with the rustic charm of the borgo.
This unique layout allows us to design a seamless guest journey with an element of surprise. For a recent celebration, we curated a ‘Secret Garden’ theme, which involved solving a delightful logistical challenge: moving 150 guests from the ceremony to a surprise aperitivo in a rarely used part of the estate. It is this kind of invisible execution, born from our intimate knowledge of the property, that creates truly magical experiences.
Event Spaces: Ceremony, Reception, and More
The villa offers a treasure trove of distinct spaces, allowing us to craft a celebration that feels varied and dynamic.
The Amphitheater
Tucked within the romantic park, this unique amphitheatre offers a truly theatrical setting for your ceremony. The natural acoustics and tiered seating ensure every guest has a perfect view, creating a moment of profound intimacy and drama as you exchange vows.
The Borgo Courtyard
Surrounded by the estate’s historic stone buildings, this rustic courtyard is our favorite spot for a relaxed welcome dinner. We love styling it with bistro lights and long wooden tables for a traditional pizza night, allowing guests to settle into the Tuscan rhythm immediately upon arrival.
The Historic Cellars (Cantina)
Defined by magnificent brick arches and authentic rustic charm, this vast indoor space is incredibly versatile. It serves as an atmospheric setting for a Plan B dinner, but we particularly love transforming it into a late-night club for the after-party, where the acoustics and architecture create a vibrant energy.
Great Tree
Dominated by a monumental ancient tree, this shaded lawn is the perfect spot for the cocktail hour. The sprawling canopy provides natural shade for your guests as they enjoy artisan canapés and prosecco, creating an intimate and enchanting start to the evening.
The Villa Terrace
Set against the majestic façade of the main villa, this expansive gravelled area is our preferred setting for the wedding reception. It creates a sophisticated atmosphere for an al fresco dinner, framed by the illuminated architecture and sweeping views of the surrounding vineyards.
Cinematic Showcase: Experience the Magic in Motion
While photographs capture moments, a film captures the soul of a celebration. It reveals the energy, the atmosphere, and the seamless flow of an event in a way static images cannot. We invite you to experience the true essence of a wedding at Villa di Monaciano through the lens of one of our trusted cinematography partners.
