Wedding in Val d'Orcia

Cypress roads, rolling hills and hilltop towns: a celebration away from the tourist routes, with the logistics worked out.

Val d'Orcia is what many picture when they think of Tuscany: rolling fields, cypress avenues and the stone towns of Pienza, Montalcino and San Quirico d'Orcia. The area is a UNESCO site, and many parts are covered by landscape protection rules. The beauty has a cost in logistics: the region is far from airports, hotels are few, and the nearest main road is reached along country roads. So a wedding here is built around transport and accommodation, not only the venue.

What we arrange in Val d'Orcia

01

Remote estates

We find estates and farms among the hills that can be hired as a whole, with rooms for the family and close friends.

02

A ceremony on a hilltop

A spot with a view over the valley, in an olive grove or by a cypress avenue. We check access, shade and an indoor fallback.

03

Pienza and Montalcino

We organise a photo session and a welcome dinner in the hilltop towns, taking into account their narrow streets and opening hours.

04

Montalcino wineries

Dinner or a tasting at an estate that makes the region's wine, with the menu and a cellar tour agreed in advance.

05

Transfers and distances

Pick-up at the Florence, Pisa or Rome airports, long journeys with stops, and shuttles between hotels and the venue.

06

Guest accommodation

We spread guests across agriturismi and small hotels in the region, where places are few and booked early.

What to know about Val d'Orcia

Distance is planned for

It is about two hours from Florence, so the programme and the shuttle schedule are built with time to spare.

Limited choice of hotels

The region has few hotels, especially in season. We start looking for accommodation together with the venue.

Protected landscape

Setting up arches, marquees and equipment may be limited by land protection rules. We clarify this before approving the concept.

Small supplier teams

Caterers and staff often travel a long way. We plan their delivery and preparation so everything is ready when guests arrive.

Questions about a wedding in Val d'Orcia

When does Val d'Orcia look best for a wedding?

In spring the fields are green, in late June and July the wheat turns gold, and in autumn the land takes on warm tones. Winter can bring fog, and the view changes.

How far is Val d'Orcia from the airport?

Roughly two hours from Florence and a little more from Rome. We organise airport transfers and suggest a stop on the way for guests.

Is Val d'Orcia suitable for a small wedding?

Yes, especially for an intimate format where the whole group stays in one estate. With a large guest list it is harder to find accommodation nearby.

Can a marquee be put up on a hill?

That depends on landscape protection rules and the owner's terms. We check permits in advance and promise nothing until we have confirmation.

What if it rains?

We agree an indoor room, a loggia or a tent in advance and set a decision deadline. In regions with open landscape this matters especially.
