r/ItalyWedding

Hi,

My partner and I are planning our wedding for next year, and we would love to get married in Tuscany with our closest friends and family. We would like to avoid May-Sep as everything is much more expensive during peak season. Our vision for the wedding is: (preferably an outdoor) ceremony + cocktail hour + dinner + party on Saturday, followed by a pool party with pizza + Aperol on Sunday, nothing stiff or formal. We have a heated pool so that part is covered.

We are aware that the weather can be unpredictable and don't mind some rain, but curious to hear based on your experience if late April or early October is usually better 😄 Thank you!!

Hi,

I’m looking for some ball park figures and suggestions of feasibility, really.

Hoping to get married at end of May 2028 in Tuscany or somewhere similar (happy for it to be a cheaper but equally pretty region). I don’t want anything big and showy; small, rustic Italian would be perfect.

About 25 people on the wedding day itself. We were hoping to book a lovely villa for a week or so, have the wedding at the villa, and then finish the week there as our honeymoon; however, majority of guests would stay elsewhere locally.

Feeling completely overwhelmed by the whole thing, I don’t speak Italian, pretty certain we would need a wedding planner. Budget say £20k max. Is this possible? How much do wedding planners cost?!

Thanks for any help!!

Hi everyone! I’m planning a wedding dinner outdoors in the Sansepolcro/Arezzo area for May 19th. We are expecting around 35 guests at one long table. Since the evening temperature might drop to around 13-14°C, I’m considering renting some patio heaters (mushroom heaters). Has anyone used them for an outdoor wedding? How many would you recommend for a long table of 35 people? Also, what is a fair price to expect for rental, gas, and delivery in Tuscany? I’ve received some quotes and I’m trying to figure out if they are reasonable. Any recommendations for local suppliers would be amazing! Thanks in advance!"

Hi everyone! I’m helping a US-based bride research a wedding in Italy for ~40–50 guests and could really use real-world advice. We’re looking for picturesque venues/cities/towns (with contingency indoor/rain options) that:

• Are easy to get to from the US—budget-friendly airports like Rome, Milan, or Pisa would be ideal, with simple train connections (ex. Trenitalia/Freccia Rosa) if needed.
• Have a range of lodging options to suit different budgets. On-site lodging for immediate family (14-16) would be ideal (open to Agritusimos, B&B's etc.)
• Make it easy for guests to reach the venue —walking, Uber/Taxi, or public transit.
• Are near good “jumping-off points” for guests who want to explore Italy before or after the wedding.
• Aren’t so remote that guests feel stuck or need constant meals/entertainment for the whole weekend.

If you’ve planned, attended, or know great towns/venues, I’d love to hear your tips—just sharing a general list here, no need to DM at this point.

I’m getting married in Siena on October 3 and originally didn’t want to have a content creator as part of the wedding. We only got one quote and I wasn’t excited about it so I declined.

Now, I’m considering hiring someone. Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable content creators?

Hi! We are looking to plan a wedding for june, and our venue has either beginning of june or mid june - what are thoughts on which is better?

For reference, the wedding is outdoors.

So far the tradeoff seems to be:

• Early June - more comfortable temperature during daytime, but is it potentially chilly at night?
• Mid June - could get really hot during the day so I’m concerned whether it would still be really hot if we have our ceremony at around 5:30pm? But night time party seems to be more comfortable
• Chance of rain - assuming mid june is lower chance?

What are thoughts on which is best?

Thank you!
