What are the best regions for a wedding in Italy?

Italy offers a stunning variety of wedding destinations, each with its own charm, scenery, and cultural richness. The most sought-after regions include:

Tuscany
Known for its rolling hills, vineyards, and Renaissance villas and medieval castles, Tuscany is ideal for countryside weddings with timeless elegance. Couples love the rustic charm of stone farmhouses, historic estates, and panoramic views. Florence, Siena, and Chianti are especially popular and offer the widest selection of venues in Italy. Many of Tuscany’s estates are ideal for a 2 to 3 day wedding and able to host from 10 to over 200 guests on site.

Amalfi Coast
A dramatic coastline of cliffs, lemon groves, and pastel villages, the Amalfi Coast is perfect for glamorous seaside weddings in Italy. Venues in Capri, Ischia, Positano, Ravello, and Amalfi offer breathtaking terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Expect luxury hotels, cliffside villas, and unforgettable views.

Lake Como
Lake Como is synonymous with glamor and luxury, combining alpine beauty with aristocratic flair. Elegant villas with lakeside gardens and neoclassical architecture make it a top choice for sophisticated, high-end weddings. Bellagio, Como, Varenna, and Cernobbio are favorites for their romantic ambiance and exclusivity.

Sicily
Sicily offers a blend of dramatic landscapes, ancient ruins, and vibrant culture. From Baroque palaces to seaside celebrations in Taormina, the island is ideal for couples seeking authenticity and bold flavors.

Puglia
Puglia is known for its whitewashed villages, olive groves, and masserie (traditional farm estates that can sleep a number of guests). It’s a rising star for destination weddings in Italy thanks to its relaxed vibe, beautiful beaches, and unique architecture like trulli houses. Towns like Ostuni, Polignano a Mare, and Alberobello offer charm and intimacy. Food in Puglia is outstanding.

“We found Distinctive Italy Weddings through a simple google search, and when we think back of the day we believe we were very lucky to have landed on your site and without knowing it at the time, we were in the safest hands that could be.

Leaving the best to last, our wedding planner, Raffaela. I got tears in my eyes every time I looked at you at the wedding. I couldn’t believe how you had managed to put all that together, with such beauty and perfection, with us being miles away from you and simply coordinating by correspondence. We were truly touched with your sincerity and exceptional service. I will never forget your calming voice in my ears saying “don’t worry” at every occasion, reassuring me that all will be fine and indeed it was not just fine, it was marvelous, and flawless! Thank you for planning our wedding with so much care, so much detail, and so much perfection. You and your team, Stephania, and the rest of the crew, came together and prepared a wonderful event, one that my guests called the wedding of the Century.. and for Dany and I, you are in fact the planner of the Century. We will always look back to this day and have you to thank for making it an incredibly remarkable and unforgettable celebration of our love. 

With much gratitude to you and the Distinctive Italy Weddings team, 

Lena and Dany – Italian Riviera Wedding
