Plan Your Central Italy Wedding: Vendors, Inspiration, & Expert Advice

We were so relieved to find such and forward-thinking, creative photographers in Italy, so close to our wedding venue (we got married at Castello di Montignano in Umbria). We wanted a relaxed, informal but artistic vibe and genuinely expected to have to fly a photographer out from the UK, but when we saw A+F's work, we knew their style was exactly what we were looking for. They were the opposite of formal, stuffy and staged. On the day, they weren't overly directive and we didn't notice they were there documenting our day for most of it (which is a GREAT thing!). They were opportunistic in a great way, and caught some really lovely things that happened off-the-cuff. The result is some really gorgeous, natural shots with such lovely styling. We were so happy with the photos which came within 2 months of our wedding day - so many memories they captured perfectly. We've had SO many compliments on our photos - couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you A+F!

We booked Maurizio and Serena to capture our Indian wedding in Italy, and we couldn’t be happier with their work. We were drawn to their documentary style of photography and their amazing use of light, as well as the fact they had experience of photographing our venue over 100 times! They were one of the best supplier decisions we made - the photos were stunning, they captured everything we wanted without being intrusive or obvious during the wedding, and they were easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. Plus - we got over 3000 photos back within a week of the wedding, which is unheard of! We highly recommend Maurizio and Serena to any couples looking for a wedding photographer!

For our wedding we chose Gigi Reccia, and we have to say: more than a photographer, he was a true partner in adventure! With his humor and his ability to make us feel comfortable, he managed to keep us natural in front of the camera (even those who usually hate being photographed smiled effortlessly). His photos aren’t just beautiful – they truly tell the story of our day, capturing every detail and the most authentic emotions. Gigi has the talent to catch the right moment and turn it into a timeless memory. Always present but never intrusive, with his irony and professionalism he made everything even more fun. Looking at the album and video feels like reliving that day with the same joy and lightheartedness. Thank you, Gigi, you were number one! Highly recommended to anyone looking not only for a photographer, but for a friend to share their special day with.

Junior and Maiara captured the emotion of the moments we experienced at our wedding. In an era of repeated poses and fleeting moments, we chose The Alms to capture the soul of the moment. They were careful and kind throughout the entire process. The photos are breathtaking.

We cannot recommend Anna enough! She shot our destination wedding in beautiful Tuscany, and the entire experience with her was simply magical. Anna is not just an incredibly talented and true professional; she has such a warm, calming presence that made us feel completely relaxed in front of the camera. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine emotion and love are absolutely unmatched. Looking at her stunning portfolio, it's no surprise she shoots all over Europe, but she made our day feel so uniquely special. If you want a photographer who will perfectly and beautifully preserve the memories of your special day, Anna is the absolute best. Thank you, Anna, for giving us photos we will cherish forever!

Giulia was an absolute godsend and we consider ourselves very lucky to have found her to design and coordinate our dream wedding in Tuscany. Not content with just the wedding day, we had Giulia's help with a welcome dinner and post-wedding pool party as well. All three days were executed to perfection and her creativity, guidance, support, and coordination were invaluable as we navigated planning a wedding in a different country while working very busy jobs. Her sense of style is exquisite, her recommendations for vendors were brilliant, her team exceptional, and she may be the most organised person I've ever met. What we valued most from Giulia - and I think what sets her apart - is that while she listened to and accommodated our every request, she would also challenge our ideas if they wouldn't work, and make suggestions or improvements that would work better. Some examples include accommodating guests who would not be used to the heat, and strategically suggesting less potent cocktails to start the day. These are things we hadn't considered but take someone with her depth and breadth of experience to mention. It had long been our dream to get married in Tuscany - something we had spent the endless lockdowns planning - and Giulia brought our dream to life. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend and we couldn't recommend her more highly. For a perfect, bespoke designed, incredibly organised and wedding day that runs seamlessly, look no further than Giulia.

The Tuscan Wedding was amazing from start to finish. Daniela and her team were such a critical role in creating the wedding of our dreams – from recommending the perfect venue, to providing recommendations for every type of vendor (floral, music, photography, hair/makeup), and even planning multiple events leading up to the wedding in Florence. The wedding planning process was made as seamless as possible due to this team! Could not recommend them enough!!

5 Stars – The Wedding of Our Dreams! We cannot recommend Benitalyweddings highly enough! We got married in Florence, Italy on October 10th, 2024 — during a busy long weekend — and everything was absolutely flawless from start to finish. From the very beginning, Ben was attentive, organized, and incredibly kind. He truly listened to what we envisioned and somehow brought it to life even better than we imagined. Every single detail — from the breathtaking venue to the seamless coordination of vendors — was executed with care and perfection. Planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming, but he made it feel effortless. Our guests are still raving about the beautiful ceremony and unforgettable celebration. It was truly the most magical day of our lives, and we owe it all to Benitalyweddings. If you’re thinking about getting married in Italy, do yourself a favor and work with him. You won’t regret it!

As the mother of the bride coming from the United States, we had no idea where to start. After interviewing a couple of wedding planners we were overwhelmed. Once we sat down with Silvia we knew instantly she was the one! Her relaxed demeanor, gentle voice and enthusiasm made us feel at ease as she answered all our questions. Planning a wedding from long distance is nerve-wracking at best, yet she and her team had every single inquiry we had figured out. All the texts were answered immediately, FaceTime zoom calls well organized, vendors they chose were above what we expected. As a perfectionist they I am, I never thought I would meet my twin. The wedding turned out to be one of the most beautiful, well organized, absolutely stunning Weddings I have seen. Our guests were raving about that night and how they felt every single detail had exceeding their expectations. I couldn’t have done it without Silvia

We had the most amazing wedding weekend ever and couldn't have been a reality without Rossana and her team. The attention to detail and going step by step with us. What was amazing is that my husband and I didnt feel the need to visit Italy before our wedding, that was just how much we trusted and felt comfortable with Rossana and team. Our guests still speak on the most amazing weekend and will never forget it. I recommend her services to everyone I know who is looking for a magical wedding in Italy. xoxo, Jessica and Donald

We don’t think that there are words to say how thankful we are that Elisabetta helped us with our wedding. She was fantastic in every aspect. She listened to us, she was very prompt and on point with organization and she made the wedding day stress free!!! Thank you for everything, it wouldn’t have been nearly as magnificent without your help. Jeff and Erika

We were so so pleased with the final result of our wedding video that David created. We were married in the Cotswolds, UK and David made the most of his time over from SA by filming a short story for us the day before the wedding. David also filmed a few scenes from our intimate family rehearsal dinner which was so wonderful. We really felt he went above and beyond for us and the end result is something we will treasure forever. Myself and my husband were not used to being in front of a camera but David guided us and helped us act natural and nothing appeared to be too posed. David worked incredibly well with our lovely photographer and the two complimented each other and worked incredibly well together. We would 100% recommend the team to brides and grooms to be. It was a pleasure to work with them.

My husband and I got married last September in Florence with Jo as our wedding celebrant. Throughout the planning process, she was incredibly prompt in responding to emails and addressing all of my questions (and I definitely had quite a few)! Jo is an absolute pro; she's a great communicator, highly organized, and super sweet. Having her officiate our wedding took a lot of stress off our shoulders, knowing she was highly experienced and passionate about her work. Meeting her on the day of my wedding was such a delight. Jo exuded calmness and had a lovely demeanor that instantly put me at ease. During the ceremony, she maintained the same energy, which was so appreciated! Jo did a fantastic job delving into the details of our love story and facilitating the ceremony flawlessly. It was an absolute pleasure working with her.

As a bride who had her wedding here, I could talk about how amazing this venue was for days. Actually, I’m still talking about how amazing it was one month later! Coming from the United States, I was unable to come to tour but Samira always answered every single one of my questions and my calls even during her busy season and the time difference between us. My fiancé and I always felt like a priority. Once arrived, she treated me, my fiancé, and my wedding party like family. The wedding itself was something out of a fairytale that completely exceeded my expectations. Sam, her father, and her staff always made us feel comfortable and heard and fed! The food is incredible and I believe my wedding party bought every cookbook he had available at the villa. This Villa is not just a wedding venue, it’s a place that you never want to leave and want all your friends to get married at just so you can experience it again! I can’t wait to return for every anniversary to use the pool, eat their food, feed the horses, take the cooking class, and participate in Sam’s yoga classes. 10000 stars

Working with Bonnie and Luca to bring our dream wedding ceremony to life in Italy was an absolute dream. From our very first conversation, they were incredible to work with, being so collaborative, attentive, and deeply invested in making our ceremony feel entirely personal and intentional. Luca was truly amazing leading the ceremony, and all of our guests completely loved it! They took the time to understand our vision and seamlessly wove in all of our requested elements, striking the most beautiful, meaningful balance between blending Italian traditions and honoring our religious faith. Every detail felt bespoke and authentic to us, and their warm, professional guidance made the entire planning process effortless. We couldn't have asked for a more special or memorable ceremony, and we are so grateful to them for making it unforgettable.
