There are some love stories that feel as timeless and authentic as the landscape in which they are told. This was the case for Taline and Nareg, our wonderful Armenian couple from Canada, who dreamt of an intimate, family-focused celebration in the heart of Umbria.

The Morning Of: Quietly Getting Ready
The day began with the gentle Umbrian sun filtering through the windows of Villa Cozzano. There was a palpable sense of warmth and excitement in the air, not of nervous energy, but of the happy anticipation that comes from being surrounded by your most beloved people. As Taline and Nareg prepared separately, we ensured the atmosphere remained relaxed and joyful. Every detail, from the delicate stationery suite to the placement of the final flower, was in place, allowing the couple and their families to simply be present and savor the start of this incredible day.
A Ceremony of Heritage and Heart
For Taline and Nareg, honoring their heritage was paramount. We coordinated a beautiful ceremony at a historic Armenian church just a short, scenic drive from the villa. The moment was filled with tradition, reverence, and profound emotion. Our role was to make the logistics of this transition feel completely invisible to the guests. We managed the seamless transport from the countryside villa to the sacred church and back, ensuring everyone arrived relaxed and ready to witness this pivotal moment in Taline and Nareg’s love story. The couple’s exit, framed by the church’s ancient stone, was a truly photographic moment.
An Umbrian Welcome at the Villa
Upon returning to Villa Cozzano, guests were greeted with a classic Italian welcome. The cocktail hour unfolded on the villa’s panoramic terrace, overlooking the rolling green hills. A live band played enchanting music as guests mingled, sipping prosecco and enjoying delectable aperitivi. Our focus here is always on the guest journey; creating an atmosphere that feels like a sophisticated, joyful gathering of friends, not just a holding pattern before dinner.
Dinner, Opera, and Unforgettable Moments
As dusk settled, guests were guided to a spectacular al fresco dining space. A long, single imperial table was set under the open sky, adorned with romantic florals and hundreds of twinkling candles. The scene was pure magic, a perfect embodiment of rustic elegance. But the true highlight of the evening was a surprise we helped the couple orchestrate. During dinner, three tenors appeared, their powerful voices filling the night air with famous opera arias. The look of astonishment and delight on the guests’ faces was a memory we know the couple will cherish forever. The evening flowed from this high point to the traditional cutting of the Italian wedding cake and, finally, a fantastic party that had everyone dancing under the stars.
