Wedding in Lucca

A city inside intact Renaissance walls, garden villas in the hills and Pisa airport close by: a practical base for a wedding.

Lucca is encircled by intact Renaissance walls with a tree-lined path along the top, and that shapes the wedding. The centre is compact and walkable, so a ceremony sits comfortably next to a stroll on the walls and a dinner on a square. Beyond the walls the hills hold historic villas with parks and gardens, where guests can spend the whole day. Pisa airport is about half an hour from Lucca and the Versilia coast is not far, which suits guests flying in from several countries. We select the venue, agree permits with the city administration and handle logistics, and you receive a fixed written estimate before preparation begins.

What we arrange in Lucca

01

A venue in town or in the hills

We compare a palazzo in the centre, a villa with a garden in the hills and an estate in the valley, checking capacity, parking and the rules on music and hours.

02

The ceremony

We prepare the ceremony in a villa garden, a palazzo courtyard or on a square; where public ground is needed, we agree its use with the city administration in advance.

03

Portraits in the old town

We plan frames on the city walls, by the Torre Guinigi with its oak trees on top and on Piazza dell'Anfiteatro in the early morning, before the tourists arrive.

04

Guest accommodation

We find hotels in the centre and villas for family, count the beds and draw up a plan of arrivals and departures.

05

Transport and the ZTL

Transfers from Pisa and Florence airports, shuttles between hotel and venue and a late return; access to the centre is restricted, so routes and passes are arranged beforehand.

06

Dinner and programme

A Tuscan menu with regional wines, music, lighting and decor suited to the architecture of the venue, and a fallback plan for rain.

Why plan a Lucca wedding with us

We build in the city's rules

The limited-traffic zone, quiet hours in the centre and the procedure for using squares all shape the day, and we put them into the schedule from the start.

We know Lucca's calendar

The summer concert season and the autumn comics and games festival fill the hotels, so dates and guest rooms are settled as early as possible.

One coordinator

One person from our Florence team leads you from the first call to the last guest, with no hand-offs between departments.

A fixed estimate

You receive the written estimate before preparation begins, and any change is discussed before it reaches the budget.

Questions about a wedding in Lucca

When is the best time for a wedding in Lucca?

Late spring and September are the most comfortable: warm, the villa gardens at their best and fewer crowds. Midsummer is hot in the centre and autumn brings a higher chance of rain, so a rain plan is needed in every season.

Can we hold a ceremony on the city walls?

The walls remain public space, and a ceremony or a shoot with equipment needs the administration's agreement. We check the conditions for your date; if permission is not available, we propose a garden or an inner courtyard.

How do guests get to Lucca?

The nearest airport is Pisa, with a train to Lucca and about half an hour by car. From Florence airport the drive takes roughly an hour.

Can we marry legally in Lucca?

A civil ceremony takes place in a hall of the comune. Requirements depend on citizenship and the documents are confirmed with the comune and the consulate; see our civil wedding page for details.

How many guests do the villas around Lucca hold?

Some villas suit small gatherings and others are large estates with separate guest houses. We confirm capacity, the number of beds and the rules on music and hours for each venue separately.
