The Best Epic Venues for an Italian wedding
As we are coming to the close of our venue series, we are going out with a bang! Epic venue is quite an accolade, particularly as we have seen some pretty damn impressive ones so far in our series. But some venues just need a whole section for themselves…and these are absolutely epic in their own right.
These are some of the most famous venues in Italy for hosting a wedding and for good reason – stand-out architecture, jaw dropping locations, stunning views and unique spots for your Italian wedding. Full disclosure though….whilst these venues completely deserve their medals of pure ‘epicness’, you will need to remember that not every venue is right for everyone. We are talking about the practicality and individual nuances that might be challenging for some planning their wedding there. What makes you happy is completely personal and it’s down to you and your own venue criteria to decide which one is going to make your ‘epic venue’. Good luck and enjoy!
If you haven’t done so already….what has taken you so long! Get your hands on the best tool you will ever need when choosing your venue - the La Lista Venue Finding Guide and get all your criteria straight before you begin.
