6 Italian wedding venues having a moment

These six Italian wedding venues are having their moment and for good reason. Each offers something unique, whether you’re dreaming of a Tuscan countryside, a historic courtyard or modern take on Sicily.

With so many places to choose from, finding the one can feel overwhelming. That’s where our Venue Concierge comes in. Book a call with Lucy to talk through your vision, priorities and budget, and receive a personalised shortlist of venues worth falling for. Spend less time searching and more time planning your day.

Borgo Laticastelli | Tuscany

Laticastelli translates, roughly, as “the castle where light comes from all sides”, and standing on its hilltop terraces above the Crete Senesi, the name makes immediate sense. Once a fortress caught in the crossfire between the two rival cities, the borgo was abandoned for decades before being carefully restored and opened first as a boutique hotel, and eventually as one of Tuscany’s most compelling wedding venues. Dine at long tables along ancient streets, and when dinner is over, there is La Cava, the old wine cellar transformed into an atmospheric room with a piano bar and space for dancing until late.

Planning note: Borgo Laticastelli can hold entire wedding weekend in one hamlet, with thirty-three suites sleeping 80 guests on-site.

Monastero Santa Margherita | Umbria

Umbria has a habit of making people reconsider everything they thought they wanted from their Italian wedding, and Monastero Santa Margherita is no exception. A 12th-century monastery, it’s been in the same family for generations and feels every bit of it, in the best possible way. Where many Italian venues lean into grandeur, this one leans into warmth. Couples talk about being welcomed like family, with a wedding planner who knows the place the way only someone who has grown up inside it can, and catering that’s more like someone’s grandmother just decided to cook for 300 people. It is, in every sense, your Italian home for the weekend.

Planning note: Just 200 metres away stands the Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione, one of the great masterpieces of Renaissance architecture, and one of the most extraordinary churches you could ever say your vows in.

Torre di Scopello | Sicily

Built as part of Sicily’s coastal defence network against Turkish and pirate raids, Torre di Scopello communicated danger to its neighbouring towers via smoke signals, a warning system so efficient it could circle the entire island within a day. Four hundred years later, couples are still sending messages from this clifftop, just rather different ones. Perched directly above the Faraglioni on the island’s northwestern tip, with the Gulf of Castellammare spread out below, this is one of those venues that even without styling or a mood board, stands its ground.

Planning note: For guests who want to make a long weekend of it, the setting beyond the venue is as beautifully untamed as the venue itself. The Torre sits just a short walk from the Zingaro Nature Reserve and Scopello, which has the most atmospheric square for welcome drinks.

Masseria Grieco | Puglia

In the heart of the Valle d’Itria, just five kilometres from the Adriatic, is the jewel that is Masseria Grieco. Held in time by the Pietra Viva limestone that creates every arch and pathway, the venue reflects light in a way that makes everything glow at any hour of the day. But the detail that stays with people is the central stone piazza; the conical stone structures that are as synonymous with Puglia as olive oil and burrata. It’s here that most couples choose to sit down to dinner as the valley falls into dusk.

Planning note: Masseria Grieco doesn’t host weddings in July or August, which means if you feel drawn to a wedding here, your venue will already have a built-in rarity to it.

Villa Tasca | Sicily

In 1788, the Marquis of Villabianca described Villa Tasca as a place of extraordinary lushness, and nothing much has changed since. Still inhabited by the same family, still surrounded by its six-hectare park of monumental trees, grottoes, a swan-filled pond and temples designed specifically to mystify visitors, the villa sits in the heart of Palermo like a secret the city has been keeping for three centuries. It also provided the backdrop for the award-winning HBO series The White Lotus, which tells you something about how stunningly it photographs.

Braccialieri | Sicily

Launched in 2025 and already one of the most talked-about venues in the Italian wedding world, Braccialieri is a reminder that newness and depth are not mutually exclusive. The 1800s estate near Noto has been restored with a level of intention that borders on obsessive, including pool tiles that were chosen to replicate the architect’s grandmother’s kitchen and a carefully preserved stone mill. Every detail exudes pure Sicilian luxury.

Planning note: An experienced wedding planner is required to get married here. Not a restriction so much as a reflection of how seriously this venue takes the weddings it hosts.
