Valpolicella, an idyllic spot near Verona, provided the perfect setting for a wedding in Italy that will forever remain in our memories. Amidst gentle hills and lush vineyards, we experienced a wedding that will touch our hearts forever. In this post, I want to take you on our journey through this special day and also provide tips for couples dreaming of a wedding in Italy.

Valpolicella, where the ancient meets the modern, and the soul of the earth touches the sky. Here, amidst the rows of vines, two hearts decided to dance together forever. It wasn't a simple decision - it was fate that led them here to seal their love. Because the winery where the wedding took place also has a charming Enotheca in Verona, where the couple took a break in their search for THE perfect wedding venue. And there, they found a flyer with information about the winery itself. They visited the next day, and lo and behold: the place was simply perfect. With accommodations right on site, surrounded by nature - just as the two had imagined their wedding venue. Romantic and with a lot of Italian flair, delicious food, and outstanding wines.

In my opinion, the greatest advantage of a wedding in Italy, or a destination wedding in general, is that all guests, as well as you yourselves, can spend a few days together on location. Definitely plan a 'Get Together' before your wedding, where all the guests can get to know each other, and if you'd like, you can also include an activity. At this wedding, there was a tour of the wine cellar followed by a meal and wine tasting at the winery's Enotheca in the village itself. A 'Get Together' can take a lot of pressure and tension off of you and lead to an even more relaxed atmosphere at your wedding itself.

Are you planning your wedding in Italy or dreaming of it? I'm sure you can't go wrong with that choice! The easiest way to plan is to reach out to a wedding planner who has experience in organizing and executing weddings abroad, preferably in your preferred region. However, it also depends on how you envision your dream wedding. Large, small, or just the two of you? With the right location, professionals who can give you tips on what to consider, and some on-site planning, you can certainly also organize your wedding on your own.
