Most incredible Tuscany wedding location

I planned this wedding without a planner from USA. From the first time I emailed them last year to our wedding night, I have no words to describe how patient, kind, and professional they were. Sandra my point person at Vicchiomaggio made the entire process not just seamless and easy but SO fun! Coordinating 40 guests from around the world to Italy for this wedding in a pandemic, I would do it all over again at Vicchiomaggio! The wedding day, I had to pause and take a moment to just take in how amazing everything turned out!I was blown away and in awe, how they took my vision and you brought it to life, in a way that was even better.

Our 3 night stay:
We stayed with our 28 guests at Vicchiomaggio for our destination wedding weekend. I have no words to describe how magnificent the property is. It’s truly an old castle, the rooms are old world gorgeous and massive and pictures just don’t do it justice. The landscape is breath taking and the food and wine is incredible. From the moment of check in to check out, yes Vicchiomaggio as a place is STUNNING, but the reason why it is EVEN more amazing is because every staff member was the most kind and generous, and everyone felt so well taken care of. Every guest had nothing but wonderful things about their stay and how amazing everything was.

Things are just slowly sinking in, on what a weekend it was. I will forever remember Vicchiomaggio and THANK YOU for the most memorable weekend and the best wedding a girl can ask for!

Beautiful Castle for a perfect wedding.

Beautiful castle. From the moment we visited the castle we knew it was going to be a perfect wedding. From the beautiful building its self to the beautiful courtyard, grounds and infinity pool. Not forgetting the garden lit by fairy lights making it feel like you are in a fairy tale. All of our guest could not believe that it existed it was so amazing. The rooms were comfortable, the facilities great and the staff so hospitable to everyone. Thank you Castello Vicchiomaggio.
