Santa Maria delle Grazie al Calcinaio
The Renaissance church just below the town walls, among olive trees: an open setting where the Ape can wait for your guests as they come out.
Santa Maria Nuova and San Niccolò
Two churches in Cortona. San Niccolò, with its small porch and cypress trees, suits intimate ceremonies of about twenty guests: the aperitivo moves to the villa.
Civil ceremony at the Town Hall
In the frescoed council hall overlooking Piazza della Repubblica. After the vows, the first toast nearby or everyone at the villa.
The historic centre
Steep, narrow streets: we agree the exact spot with you and your planner beforehand, together with any permit the Comune requires.
Castiglion Fiorentino
Civil weddings in the council hall, in the square and tower of the Cassero and in the cloister of San Francesco.
The villas of the Val di Chiana
Between Foiano della Chiana and Castiglion Fiorentino, below the Castle of Montecchio Vesponi: many of the villas chosen for wedding receptions.
