3D Locations: choose the ideal place for your wedding from the exclusive virtual locations of Wedding in Valdichiana.

Evaluating and selecting in advance and comfortably from home, the location in which to realise your dream of love, has become possible!
Find out how by reading our article.

When a couple decides to get married, they feel an indescribable emotion, an emotion they will feel throughout the wedding preparations, from the first moment to the last.
Usually, one of the first choices a married couple has to make is the location, the starting
point for any self-respecting organisation list.

The choice of the perfect location for the most beautiful “YES” in life is a fundamental element, as mentioned above, if not the most important one.
For this reason, at Wedding in Valdichiana, we offer all our skills and knowledge of the area to meet the needs of all our clients, whether they are dreaming of an intimate and private ceremony or want a big party.

Getting married in Valdichiana

Choosing the Valdichiana as the location for your event means choosing a concentration of “beauty”, with the certainty of a great final result. An authentic area where you can find happiness in the various moments of the most beautiful day: the celebration, the reception, but also the many experiences to be had as a couple and with guests, before, during and after the celebrations.

For the past 20 years, our collaboration with local administrations and accommodation facilities, including lesser-known ones, which offer a quality welcome, has enabled us to offer both public and private locations that are among the most exclusive and original in this area.

However, given the complexity of the event and in order to avoid this wonderful adventure turning into an odyssey, we advise you first of all to imagine the location that suits you and its set-up, so that the result can be as close as possible to your tastes and style.


For example, do you dream of saying “YES” inside a mysterious and magical medieval fortress or on the shores of a natural lake? In the council chamber of a town hall or in a relaxing and exclusive spa? On the soft grass of a park or on a breathtaking terrace?

We know! It’s really hard to imagine every single proposal and then choose the most suitable one, especially for those who don’t know the Valdichiana Senese area at all.
That’s why we at Wedding in Valdichiana have decided to put at your disposal, and just a click away, the 3D virtual reality service to see in advance, and comfortably from your PC, some of our most exclusive locations in the municipalities of Cetona, Chianciano Terme, Chiusi, Montepulciano, San Casciano dei Bagni, Sarteano, Sinalunga, Torrita di Siena and Trequanda.

Which is your favourite?

These are municipalities in the Valdichiana with an easy-to-access location, so that your guests can reach them without hindrance and by all possible means of transport. What’s more, they are truly original, fascinating places, rich in history, compared to the dozens and dozens of weddings your guests have already attended. But that’s not all! Here, your loved ones and friends can enjoy unique experiences of
fun, good food and wine.

Bachelorette and bachelor party

A wedding in Tuscany, as we know, brings with it parties, joys, unique emotions and sensations that only this fantastic land can give. Everything will be perfect for the fateful day thanks to the organization of the smallest details, to have the best of the best in that magical moment. Prior to the big event, however, there is another party that deserves our attention today: the bachelorette or bachelor party! To prepare for the “yes” day, there is nothing better than celebrating with loved ones, friends or relatives, and you can do it right in Tuscany, in Valdichiana Senese!

Emotions and experiences before the “Yes”

The beauty of a bachelorette or bachelor party is to allow everyone to have fun in company and enjoy the last moments before the fateful event we all wait for a lifetime. Valdichiana Senese, among its Tuscan beauties, offers an infinite series of activities for everyone: from sports to relaxation and wellness, from gourmet tastings to first-rate wines with breathtaking views and beautiful hills in the background. Find out with us which experiences are the best to get the best of your day!

Around the hills: vespa, quad and trekking

The Tuscan roads of Valdichiana Senese are among the most beautiful in the world: every curve hides a breathtaking view, every climb precedes the view of a splendid valley and every road is surrounded by nature. These areas are perfect for riding a vintage or brand new vespa and enjoying the scenery. For those who prefer a bit of action, however, quads are available for cruising far and wide through the Tuscan lands. These experiences are perfect for those who want to release the tension before the fateful day! If, on the other hand, you love walking amongst  nature at a moderate pace, then a nice trek with friends is the one experience for you: a long and stimulating walk immersed in the nature of Tuscany to admire its beauties … just slowly!

Sport and wellness: between padel, horse riding and yoga

Unique experiences available to anyone who wants to spend their bachelorette/ bachelor party together with friends. For the more sporty among you, we have thought of a day dedicated to padel, the sport of the moment. You can play with everyone and have fun on a court reserved exclusively for you, with rackets and balls included. If, on the other hand, you want to immerse yourself in nature and admire its beauties, you can simply go horseback riding among the Tuscan hills of Valdichiana Senese and observe these lands from a decidedly fascinating point of view. Speaking of points of view, have you ever thought of practicing yoga by a lake, immersed in the Tuscan hills? For your bachelorette/bachelor party, it is possible to organize a relaxing yoga session on the shores of a lake in Valdichiana Senese, to rediscover spiritual wellness and inner peace.

Pampering with the flavor of wine and thermal waters

As everyone knows, Tuscany is a land of wine and offers its visitors glasses of fine products, famous all over the world for their authentic and distinctive flavor. And a good glass of wine from these lands, home of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, certainly cannot be missing. What if we tell you that with glasses of wine you could also dedicate yourself to a relaxing thermal bath? If you want to relax before the big event, this is the one for you: massages, dedicated therapies and thermal waters from natural sources to pamper you and restore your inner balance and energy.

These are among the best experiences you can have in Valdichiana Senese before your wedding, you can also ask us directly to organize your bachelorette/bachelor party with the activities of your choice, following your times and your Tuscan stay.

10 reasons to get married in Spring

Not sure which month is the best to get married?

Here’s a list of reasons why you should get married in Spring:

Romanticism: Spring has always been considered the season of love and awakening, when everything blossoms and becomes colourful! So, could there be a better time of year to celebrate your love than this?

Climate: mild temperatures and long days characterise Spring, which is why it is one of the most suitable seasons to celebrate weddings. Whereas Summer months can be swelter ing and humid, and Winter months can be cold and often rainy.

Location: organizing a wedding in Spring makes it possible to use the outside of the location even during evening. You can also plan amazing and fun parties with entertainment, which is something that’s not very practical or often impossible in Winter, and Summer months due to the high temperatures.

Ceremony: now more than ever, people want to get back to great outdoors event and prepare their wedding ceremonies “en plein air”, on a fresh lawn or under big trees. In addition, an outdoor ceremony lends itself to many decorative and arrangement possibilities: the type of chairs, tables and flowers and their consequent setting.

Flowers: as Spring is the time when nature blooms, there are a wide choice of plants and flowers for your wedding decoration and, of course, for the bouquet! There are so many and in a thousand shades, sizes and types. You’ll just have plenty of choices!

Colours: pastel shades are undoubtedly the most delicate (pink, powder, yellow, lilac, light green, sky blue) and therefore the most suitable colors for a wedding (both for the set-up and for the dresses of guests and bridesmaids). This year the palette of 2022 weddings will be characterised by these tones. So, if you get married in Spring, the choice of colors will not only be refined, but also super appropriate!

Food: in Spring, nature awakens and gives us fresh flavors and fragrances. Fruits and vegetables of this season (strictly from zero km), will enrich your wedding table, together with flowers, to create a truly magical setting! The same applies to the wedding cakes.

Creative and destination experiences: the trend for 2022 is mainly for wide open and extended celebrations. For example long weekends or even weeks in specific destinations, and Tuscany is one of the top places! So it is clear that the best time to plan a marriage, especially in this region, is  spring!

Covid-19: due to the prolonged health emergency, weddings are rather to take place outdoors, surrounded by nature. This gives more freedom, as far as restrictions are concerned.

Joy and optimism: by organising a Spring wedding, you will be marking a new beginning in         your lives and will also convey “joie de vivre” and euphoria to your guests!

8 reasons why you should hire a Destination Wedding Planner to organize your wedding in Tuscany

Getting married is an extraordinary experience in anyone’s life, regardless of where you are from.
But when we talk about destination weddings, we obviously need to add a little more logistics and organization. Different time zones and mostly the language can cause concern and extra work.

Planning a wedding requires a specific knowledge of the industry and enormous attention to detail so that everything runs smoothly; only a professional with years of experience in this industry can guarantee the best result. Relying on a planner who knows how to plan, coordinate and manage every aspect and detail of a wedding is the best choice you can make! Having someone who can also give you advice and work on the design and style of your event is priceless!

Here we are with our 8 reasons why you should rely on a Wedding Planner to plan your wedding in Tuscany.

PLANNING WILL BE A PLEASANT AND STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE
It’s common to think of the wedding planning as a stressful time in your life, where you are always tense, short of time and feeling stressed … But it doesn’t have to be like this. In fact, a Wedding Planner will make you enjoy not only your wedding day, but the planning process as well. You will be an essential part of the decision making process, after all, you are a team! She or he will guide and assist you at all times so that you never feel alone. The Wedding Planner will be someone you can count on, someone available whenever you need her / him.
Planning a wedding is an ongoing process of managing and solving various issues. But your Wedding Planner will not only solve all the problems, but will foresee them so as not to have to face them at the last minute. She/he will provide honest advice and full-time assistance; she/he will guide and support you every step of the way, so that everything goes as you wish. She/he will make things easier for you and make your wedding day safer and more peaceful.

TIPS TO ORGANIZE YOUR WEDDING
When you imagine your wedding, it is normal for hundreds of ideas to come to your mind, most of the time unrelated ones; the things you’ve seen on Pinterest, Instagram, at your friends’ weddings, on wedding blogs … With so much information around, knowing what you really want is not an easy thing to do, but it’s even harder to know where to start. First of all, the Wedding Planner should help you find out the type of wedding you want. How? Getting to know you, trying to understand your vision, providing inspiring ideas, making sure everything is in perfect harmony and with a captivating style. Getting unbiased advice from your Wedding Planner will give you peace of mind and this is the key to success.

MAKES A DIFFICULT JOB LOOK SIMPLE
Thanks to her/his competence, experience and knowledge, the Wedding Planner will make the planning phase pleasant; she/he will take care of choosing the right venue, negotiating payment terms and conditions with vendors, managing every detail, organizing visits, making reservations and so on. Being an expert in the wedding industry, therefore, she knows firsthand which are the best suppliers for each couple. She/he will always offer you the best options, taking into account your tastes, style and budget.

IT WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME
She/he will do the hard work for you and save you precious time. The difficulties inherent in planning any activity are mainly related to the time required for development. I always say that 70% of my job is chasing vendors! Having someone do this for you is really worth it! Plus, you’ll get more, better, and faster.

THE WEDDING PLANNER WILL MANAGE YOUR TIME, RESOURCES AND BUDGET
Meeting deadlines, prioritizing activities, making decisions based on available resources, without ever exceeding the budget can be a difficult task, so it is essential to leave this job in safe hands, for example a professional Wedding Planner. It will adapt to your needs, timing and budget, managing resources and suppliers in the best possible way for you.

RESULTS GUARANTEED
If you let yourself be guided by the resources and passion of your Wedding Planner, you will have the best wedding you could wish for. It will provide great results and make sure everything goes perfectly on the wedding day. You have to enjoy that day to the fullest, every single moment; there is no room for stress or concern!

ADDS VALUE AND UNIQUENESS
Each couple is unique and so should their wedding be. Wedding planners believe that a wedding to be truly genuine and unique has to reflect the identity and taste of the couple, tell their story and in some way touch all the guests who attend the wedding.

MAKES SURE YOUR GUESTS HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED
When a couple imagines their wedding day, they want their guests to have an unforgettable day too. From choosing the best entertainment for the little ones, to preventing your ladies’ heels from sinking into the lawn, and each guest being given your own wedding favor or cone filled with rice / petals to throw on the happy couple as they exit the aisle. A planner takes care of all these activities, including the special needs of your guests. A good Wedding Planner knows that every guest matters, so he will do everything in his power to make everyone feel special and pampered.

If you belonged to that group of people who still question the benefits of hiring a destination Wedding Planner, I hope I have well explained all the reasons why we believe having a professional with you will make planning your wedding in Tuscany special.

7 Tips for Getting the Best Wedding Photos

A picture must turn into a perceptible emotion even after years, while you are rethinking your promises of love pronounced at the altar.

But often you arrive unprepared for the wedding day, and then you risk having photos that do not fully reflect your complicity or the event in general.

So here are our seven tips for getting the best wedding photos:

1. COMPLICITY IS THE KEY

Remember this is your wedding day! Leave the bickering for tomorrow and enjoy the process of creating complicity between you in front of the camera.

Relaxing is very important, discomfort and stress show up in photos, nobody likes a forced smile. Hug each other, intertwine the fingers of your hands, play, laugh, joke. The complicity will emerge and in a short time you will no longer remember the camera. Chemistry can never go wrong!

2. MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Kissing and flirting in front of a complete stranger holding a camera can be intimidating to anyone. Why not take the opportunity for some beautiful engagement photos? This will allow you to eliminate the embarrassment before the big day. If a pre-wedding photo shoot is out of the question, schedule a Skype call or an in-person meeting with your photographer so you can get to know each other face to face. This small gesture will help you get in touch with the photographer before the wedding and eliminate some initial discomfort. If it doesn’t work … There is always wine in Tuscany!

3. LIGHT IS FUNDAMENTAL

Light can make or break your wedding photos. It is important to keep this in mind both inside and out. The best way to take great wedding photos is to shoot in the shade, overcast, or direct sunlight. When shooting indoors, look for windows and avoid excessive orange, yellow or blue light. We suggest finding a nice, well-lit place to take couple portraits after the ceremony. Also, be sure to plan a “getaway” just before sunset for a hot portrait session full of magic in the Tuscan countryside!

4. DARE: IT’S YOUR WEDDING

Play with textures, fabrics, shapes! Even if the clothes chosen are very traditional, feel the freedom to express your personality in the small details. Wear funny socks, a peculiar tie. Incorporate boutonniere made of feathers or wild flowers … Every detail that reflects your personal style feeds the result of your wedding photos.

5. DON’T GIVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER A PINTEREST BOARD TO REPLY

There are two points to emphasize here. First, be aware that your photographer already has a list of photos that he or she keeps in mind to get all the shots planned for your event from start to finish. To this are added the unique and unpredictable moments that your wedding will give you. The photographer will be there ready to capture the authenticity of that day.

Second, since you have hired him, we assume you love his work. So rather than seek inspiration from other photographers, find some sample photos from his portfolio. Share with him the things you like about his style and then let him take the lead. Trust your photographer!

6. COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

However well defined a photographer’s style is, it is very important that you communicate your expectations before the wedding day. Whether you prefer more posed photos or a report of the day, it is very important to discuss these details before the wedding.

7. EMPTY THOSE POCKETS

Here we mainly refer to the groom. Forget your keys and phone. Give them to a friend or leave them at home.

It may seem like an insignificant and tiny detail, but believe us, having protruding pockets that add awkward shapes to the silhouette is not a pretty look to see in photos. Try to remember to empty your pockets at the start of the big day!

With these simple tips and the artist who best interprets your taste, having beautiful memories in photos will be very easy!

10 cose da fare proposta 2

10 things to do after receiving the marriage proposal

From taking a selfie to the ring to drawing up an initial guest list, here are 10 things to do after receiving the big question.

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Wow, you have an engagement ring and you’re getting married. It’s all true even if it seems so surreal, and whether you like it or not, the hours, days and weeks that follow the proposal are a whirlwind of emotions.

There are so many things to think about, so many people to contact and so much to do. But don’t feel overwhelmed.

Pinterest boards, magazines, blogs, shopping for clothes, hunting for the perfect location … the list goes on and on.

So where do we start? There is no precise order to follow as long as you address the urgent and most immediate things. Engaging in the love of a lifetime is scary and surprising at the same time, but planning a wedding together will also be a lot of fun, I promise.

1. Call your parents

And your siblings and best friends too (unless you hide your engagement for a while). The last place they should hear about the proposal is on social media, so call them personally and give them the good news. Chances are that mom and dad already know what’s going on and are patiently waiting for your call on the phone.

2. Post a photo with the ring on social media

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? If you are ready to share with the world that you are officially engaged, open Instagram! Take a selfie with the ring in plain sight or share a photo of yourself and your boyfriend to tell about your love. Even better: if the proposal was captured with a video it will be even better to share that surprised look of yours.

3. Take a moment

Don’t immerse yourself in planning the wedding right away. Take a week or two to savor the moment. Trust us, in the next twelve (or so) months you will have enough adrenaline and things to do that it will be difficult to take a break from planning.

4. Think about a potential date

The most attractive dates and locations are booked well in advance. So if you’re planning on getting married in the next year or two, it’s a good idea to start thinking about a date right now.
Talk to both families and find out which times are best for everyone.

5. Search for a location in Valdichiana

Remember: you can’t book a date until you have a list of potential locations you love. Do some research online and ask for more information on availability and pricing. We can help you! Contact us at: email.

6. Make a first guest list

Whether you’re going big or small, being on the same page is very important. Once you’ve agreed on an approximate guest count and budget (we’ll get to that later), you can commit to a venue.

7. Discuss the budget to invest

Anyone never likes talking about money but it is very important to talk about money before starting with the planning. Talk to your fiancé and, if necessary, your respective families as well.

8. Collect inspiration

Create a Pinterest board, Google Doc, save photos on Instagram or create a folder on your computer to organize your favorite images you find online. Keep it to yourself for organizational purposes only or share with your wedding planner, mom, friends, boyfriend and anyone else to view and contribute.

9. Hire a wedding planner

If you are considering hiring a wedding planner to help you with logistics and design, start your online search. Schedule some phone calls so you can also evaluate empathy in addition to the proposals. We will be happy to be part of your wedding in Valdichiana, write to us to book an appointment by phone or in person:

10. Relax

Planning your wedding can be insanely stressful right from the start, so try to have fun and take some time to laugh and reconnect.

Remember: you are getting married !!!
