Wedding

The Tuscan city of Florence is a magical spot for a destination wedding, steeped in history and romance.

 

Not only do Medieval and Renaissance palaces count among the potential venues, Florence is surrounded by stunning Tuscan countryside which produces some of the most famous wines in the world. Take your guests back in time with a decadent wedding and the chance to explore a city in which art is around every corner.

 

The compact city center is easy to navigate on foot and lends a certain charm to proceedings. In place of the wide highways and hulking SUVs of many cities, Florence buzzes with the sound of small motorcycles and is inviting to the visitor.

 

Venues in Florence include Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and civil spaces, all of which provide an opulent option for your destination wedding. Fly into Florence or Pisa International Airports, both of which have good links with London.

 

Prices in Italy are still depressed due to the financial crisis, and a luxurious stay in Florence will not set you back as much as you might think. For history, good food and wine and spectacular venues, Florence is a great choice. The picturesque countryside and historic buildings mean your wedding photos will certainly stand out from the crowd and leave your friends wondering why they didn’t have their wedding in Florence.
