A luxury destination wedding at Villa Mangiacane

Callie and Alex celebrated their dream destination wedding with a luxurious two-day event at Villa Mangiacane, a historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of Chianti, just outside Florence. This iconic villa, featuring Palazzo Machiavelli, a 14th-century noble residence, and the refined Villa Mazzei, is renowned for its timeless charm, exclusive services, and breathtaking views—perfect for luxury weddings and private events.

The celebration began with a colorful welcome dinner in the villa’s garden, where guests dined at two imperial tables beautifully decorated with vibrant flowers. The menu included Tuscan appetizers, handmade pasta, and a sizzling barbecue, setting a warm and convivial tone.

On the wedding day, Callie and Alex shared a romantic first look in the elegant loggia before exchanging their vows during an intimate outdoor ceremony in the villa’s garden. Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed a scenic aperitivo in another part of the estate’s park.

The evening continued with a lavish wedding dinner in front of the villa’s grand facade. White floral arrangements, glowing candles, and ornate candelabras created an atmosphere of pure elegance. After a champagne tower and first dance, Callie and Alex cut a traditional Tuscan millefoglie cake against the backdrop of spectacular fireworks. The night ended with an unforgettable dance party behind the villa, as guests celebrated love and luxury late into the night.

Villa Mangiacane offers couples the perfect blend of Italian elegance, privacy, and luxury, making it an ideal setting for timeless destination weddings in Tuscany.

Wedding day

A Fall intimate wedding in Tuscany | Villa il Pozzo |

Elizabeth and Joseph, a lovely couple from Texas who share a passion for Italy, chose to have their destination wedding in Tuscany. They wanted to bring families and friends together for an intimate celebration under the autumnal setting of the beautiful Italian countryside and, with the expert guide of Alessia, they discover the stunning Villa il Pozzo, located in the heart of the Chianti region, between Florence and Siena. With a seasonal palette of yellow, orange, dark red, deep purple and shades of green and dusty blue accents, they crafted the perfect fall dream!

The couple exchanged vows on the villa's terrace, overlooking the beautiful valley. Rolling hills, green and beautiful breezes created the perfect dream wedding setting. For the reception they made their way to the panoramic garden where the dinner table showcased the countryside with a blue dusty runner that came down from the table until it touched the grass. The mixed flower and berry compositions resumed the colors of the palette while the candles and ribbons that bound the napkins were in orange. A string of lights crossed the whole table giving a warm light and a welcoming atmosphere. 

And the menu had all the traditional Italian dishes! Every course featured fresh seasonal products, such as sweet pumpkin cream with crispy pancetta, Pecorino di Fossa cheese, and Pici del Casentino with rabbit and crispy aubergines. 

After the cutting of the cake, a delicious millefeuille filled with chantilly cream and chocolate chips, the newlyweds took their first dance inside a gazebo covered in fairy lights. Just magical!

In loving memory of Paolo
