Unique Italy Wedding Venues in Popular Towns and Unknown Regions

Are you dreaming of a romantic destination wedding in Italy?   If you are searching for a destination that can offer culture, history, art, delicious food and breathtaking settings, Italy is definitely the ideal country.

One of the reasons people marry in Italy is that they can go from north to south and enjoy a great variety of local and in season food and wine.  Other than the food, you can spend a great weekend with your loved ones surrounded by beautiful views of the countryside, the sea or in historic cities.

I’ve enlisted the help of Italian wedding planner, Emma Pavanelli from E.P. Unforgettable Events who is here to tell us about the most unique wedding venues in Italy.  Emma shares wedding venues in popular Italian towns but also some hidden gems in regions still undiscovered by the masses.

With a variety of landscapes, Italy has many popular and well-known regions. The famous Lake Como area with its luxurious Villas, going down the peninsula, has amazing views of the coast of Liguria with famous towns such as Portofino.

Rome is another classic destination with outstanding historic ruins which will deliver unforgettable memories and amazing shots to cherish for a lifetime.  The Amalfi Coast is an evergreen setting for the most romantic couples. Villa Maria with its ocean views and lush location surrounded by flowers, lemon trees, and delicious food make for a dream wedding destination.

Let us not forget Tuscany where you can choose from a town wedding in Florence or Siena to a countryside setting. There are no boundaries in the venues you may find from lush Villas to beautifully restored castles and historic farms.  I recommend Villa Pazzi al Parugiano, this newly restored historic Villa not far from Florence will enchant you.
