Why Host Your Wedding in Umbria? The Unforgettable Experience

Often called the “Green Heart of Italy,” Umbria captivates couples with its atmosphere of timeless romance and profound tranquility. For those seeking an escape from the crowds, it offers a soulful connection to the land and a level of authenticity that feels deeply personal.

  • A Soulful Atmosphere: While Tuscany is celebrated for its Renaissance grandeur, Umbria is defined by its quiet intimacy. It is a landscape of rolling hills and ancient history, providing a serene and exclusive backdrop for couples who value privacy above all else.
  • Exclusive & Historic Venues: The region is home to private villas, castles and medieval hamlets available for exclusive buyouts. Whether you dream of a rustic farmhouse or a dramatic hilltop castle, these venues allow you to host your guests in total seclusion.
  • An Authentic Experience: We design multi-day itineraries here that feel like a private holiday wrapped in Italian hospitality. From truffle hunting in the woods to tasting the region’s robust wines, every moment is curated to immerse your guests in the local culture.

A Perfect Celebration: Sample Umbrian Wedding Itinerary

We believe a destination wedding is a holiday for your guests. As part of our planning, we design a guest journey that feels effortless and exciting from the moment they arrive.
  • Day 1: Benvenuti in Umbria (7:00 PM)

    • Guests arrive and check into their accommodations before gathering for a relaxed welcome dinner. We arrange a “pizza and prosecco” night at a local trattoria or within the borgo, allowing everyone to mingle in a beautiful, informal setting.
  • Day 2: The Wedding Day (4:30 PM)

    • Morning: Guests enjoy a leisurely morning, perhaps with a yoga session or a walk through the olive groves.
    • 4:30 PM: The ceremony takes place at the “magic hour,” with golden light streaming across the landscape.
    • 5:30 PM: Cocktails and canapés on a panoramic terrace, followed by an elegant reception under a canopy of stars.
    • 10:00 PM: Our invisible execution ensures a seamless transition to the after-party and dancing.
  • Day 3: A Taste of Umbria & Arrivederci (11:00 AM)

    • A farewell brunch for all guests. For those staying on, we can arrange an authentic Umbrian experience, such as a guided truffle hunting expedition or a cooking class, before their departure.

Your Questions, Answered: Umbria Wedding FAQs

Known as the green heart of Italy, Umbria offers a soulful and authentic setting for a destination wedding.

To help you begin this beautiful journey, we have gathered the answers to some of our couples’ most frequent questions.

  • What is the best time of year to get married in Umbria?

    Late spring (May and June) and early autumn (September and October) are magnificent. The weather is warm and pleasant, the landscape is at its most beautiful, and you avoid the peak summer heat.

  • How is Umbria different from Tuscany for a wedding?

    While both regions are stunning, Umbria offers a more rustic, untamed, and intimate experience. It’s less traveled, which often means more privacy and a feeling of discovering a hidden gem. You can explore our guide to planning a wedding in Tuscany to compare the unique charms of each region.

  • What are the logistics of guest travel?

    The main airport is in Perugia (PEG), with connections through major European hubs. Florence (FLR) and Rome (FCO) are also viable international gateways, about a two-hour drive away. We can manage all transportation logistics, from airport transfers to shuttles between venues, ensuring your guests’ journey is completely stress-free.
