The charming destination wedding in Val d’Orcia of Bailey and Jacob was a celebration of the love of a sweet couple together with family and friends in a chic villa in the Tuscan countryside.
Bailey and Jacob wanted to get married with a destination wedding in Italy, and thanks to our team of wedding planners they were able to transform their dream into reality in one of the most spectacular regions in the world: Tuscany!
Are you wondering how to get married in Tuscany? You can choose among:
A symbolic ceremony, as the one chosen by Bailey and Jacob, can happen everywhere you wish, including a charming villa surrounded by the enchanting scenary of Val d’Orcia. Our wedding planners will be happy to share with you the best tips to get married in Val d’Orcia.
A civil ceremony has legal value in Italy, as well as in your country of residence, and it can be performed at the Town Hall, such as the dreamy Tuscan civil ceremony at Palazzo Vecchio for Eric & Linda’s wedding in Florence, or in another authorized venue.
A religious ceremony can take place in a church for Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant weddings, or in a synagogue for Jewish weddings, or in the gardens of a villa for Indian weddings, such as Bindya and Shawn’s destination wedding in Italy.
A vow renewal ceremony can be organized to celebrate a wedding anniversary. There is no need to wait for a milestone year to repeat your promises of love to your better half, maybe together with the children, as Eric and Tori did for the renewal of vows in a medieval tower in Florence, Italy.
Whatever ceremony you have in mind, you can decide to invite your family members, as well as your friends, to join you for a charming destination wedding in Tuscany: it will be a memorable experience for the couple, as well as for everyone else attending!
Keep in mind that if you prefer a more intimate moment just for the two of you, you can choose a romantic elopement ceremony! Our wedding planner agency can help you plan an intimate ceremony in Lucca, or a symbolic ceremony in the 5-star Four Seasons Hotel in Florence, as we did for Felipe and Cristina.
Alternatively, if you wish to elope surrounded by nature, you can take inspiration from the elopement in San Gimignano of Zena and Ryan, who renewed their wedding vows in the vineyards with a picturesque borgo in the background.
Are you wondering which is the best venue to get married in Tuscany? You can choose among:
There are so many reasons why to choose a private villa for your destination wedding in Tuscany! From majestic buildings decorated with gorgeous frescoes and surrounded by elegant gardens, to countryside villas for a rustic-chic celebration of love, there are options for everyone!
If you are dreaming of a fairy-tale, you can be the prince and princess of the day in one of the many castles on the Tuscan hills: the romantic wedding in a castle in Tuscany of Liz and Yann was fabulous!

Are you thinking about a wedding experience with your guests, enjoying the landscape of the rolling hills? Choose an enchanting borgo, such as the one of the spectacular wedding in Montepulciano of Jacqueline and Robert!
Are you wondering which are the best activities to do in Tuscany? You can choose among:
Food is a pillar of Italian Dolce Vita, and you can’t travel to a destination wedding in Tuscany without trying delicious food! But what about organizing a fun moment for your guests before or after the wedding day, and allow them to learn how to cook Italian dishes by themselves?
The cooking lesson can be organized in your own language, and the menu can be personalized depending on the target (all the group, adults, children). In some venues, gathering the ingredients such as harvesting vegetables from the garden or eggs from the chicken coop can also be part of the experience. It will be a preview of the delicious menu during your wedding reception in Tuscany!
Craving for pizza? Is there a better themed party to organize while in Italy? This is a must-do in destination weddings in Tuscany, and Bailey and Jacob decided to have one the day before the wedding by the pool at sunset time. The atmosphere was magnificent!
Besides the beauty of the Tuscan hills at sunset, the table was carefully prepared with personalized tablecloths and menu themed Dolce vita, as well as small vases with orange flowers for a touch of color. Five different pizzas were served, together with appetizers to allow everyone to taste the delicious specialties of Tuscan cuisine.
Tasting oil and wine is a compelling sensory experience, exploring the nuances of aroma, flavor and texture of oil and wine. Each tasting offers the opportunity to deepen the understanding and appreciation of these delicious Italian products, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of food and wine culture: it is an unforgettable experience for you and your guests during a destination wedding in Tuscany!
Bailey and Jacob decided to organize a wine tasting for their guests the day after their charming destination wedding in Val d’Orcia. The tasting with a tour of the vineyard, to see up close and understand how wine is produced and how the vines are cared for, with a guide explaining all the details in English, was a very pleasant moment for all of them!
There is nothing more beautiful than a nice picnic in the shade of the olive trees, to reconnect with nature and live a unique experience with your guests during your destination wedding in Italy.
We can provide the traditional blankets and baskets with food, and it could be the most memorable farewell brunch to say thanks to all your families and friends before starting your honeymoon in Italy!
Do you want to explore the Tuscan territory with rubber boots and a truffle dog and see if you can find something delicious to eat for lunch? This one-of-a-kind adventure allows you and your guests to fully immerse yourself in the culture of the Tuscan territory. Perfect for nature lovers coming to Italy for a destination wedding!
There is no shortage of spectacular places to visit in Tuscany! Depending on your choice regarding the location for the wedding ceremony, we can organize for you and your guests an all-day or half-day tour to visit the closest cities.
The tours can be personalized depending on your preference, including also private visits to museums, churches or towers, as well as the presence of a professional guide speaking your own language. Whether you prefer a bigger city such as Florence or Siena, or a smaller borgo such as San Gimignano or Volterra, you and your guests will fall in love with the beauty of Tuscany!
If you want to enjoy the breathtaking landscape of Tuscany, with its beautiful hills covered with vineyards and olive trees, its iconic roads surrounded by cypress trees and its picturesque borgos and cities, choose a tour by Vespa, and you will feel like part of a movie!
Besides the Vespa, it is also possible to admire the beautiful scenario of Tuscany with a vintage car. This is also a very popular choice for the photo shooting of the bride and groom after the wedding ceremony, either at the same venue where the wedding takes place or in another panoramic spot nearby.
Bailey and Jacob are a truly lovely couple who contacted us for help from our wedding planners to organize a charming destination wedding in Tuscany, and Brilliant Events’ team was delighted to assist them from A to Z!
The first thing we did together was setting a wedding date: our wedding planners outlined a lot of pros and cons to decide the best time to get married in Val d’Orcia, and the couple decided to schedule their wedding at the end of May.
Then, we helped them choose the venue. Among villas, castles, luxury hotels and borgos, we understood that what they needed was a villa in the Tuscan countryside, where they can enjoy a 3-day wedding experience with their families and friends.
Bailey and Jacob choose a charming villa in the countryside around Siena, surrounded by spectacular cypress trees and hills covered with vineyards. The outdoor area of the villa features beautiful gardens and a swimming pool with a breathtaking panoramic view, especially at sunset time!
The villa was built at the beginning of the 17th century, and the finely decorated halls with elegant ceilings and authentic furnishings were transformed into rooms, suites and apartments. For the charming destination wedding in Val d’Orcia of Bailey and Jacob, they decided to host 27 guests there.
The possibility of accommodation for the guests allowed the bride and groom to enjoy a little holiday together with friends and family, before celebrating a memorable wedding day in Tuscany immersed in the beauty of gentle nature.
Our wedding planners provided assistance to find accommodation nearby for the other guests, and organized the transportation to reach the villa by van. With Brilliant Events’ team by your side, all the details of your wedding day will be taken care of!
Bailey was a clear example of simplicity that embodies pure elegance. She chose a simple dress with veil, pearl jewelry, a natural hairstyle and makeup, and a bouquet of white roses with long stems: it is so important that the style of your wedding reflects your personalities!
When both Bailey and Jacob were ready, we organized the first look between the bride and groom with a view over the Tuscan hills in the most panoramic corner of the garden, with the photographer capturing the emotions of such a special moment. Together with the couple, there were also their parents and siblings.
Then, it was time for the groom entrance with the mother, followed by the bride entrance with the mother and the father, and the ceremony began! They chose to exchange the wedding vows in the middle of the cypress-lined avenue of the villa in Val d’Orcia, a very iconic place to become husband and wife.
The Val d’Orcia in Tuscany is the perfect scenario for wedding pictures, and Bailey and Jacob were able to take spectacular shots with rolling hills in the background, while their guests started to gather around the pool of the villa.
Once the bride and groom came back, it was time for the aperitif close to the spectacular pool with the best view of the Tuscan landscape at sunset: everyone was enchanted by such a charming venue for a destination wedding in Italy!
The aperitif of a perfect destination wedding in Italy must have:
Champagne, Prosecco sparkling wine, Aperol Spritz, beer, fruit juices, …
Raw ham, finocchiona, capocollo, salame, dried sausages, …
Pecorino, buffalo mozzarella, parmesan, …
Fried vegetables, meatballs, volauvent with truffle, bruschettas, …
Bread, focaccia, grissini, …
Whether you prefer a standing cocktail with waiters serving the food and beverages to the guests, or you like more the idea of food corners with a personalized decoration where your guests can serve themselves, the aperitif is an essential moment of a wedding reception in Italy!
The charming destination wedding in Val d’Orcia of Bailey and Jacob culminated with an outdoor dinner in the courtyard of the villa, under lots of string lights to create the most magical atmosphere!
Brilliant Events’ team of wedding planners created a personalized décor with a U-shape table, an elegant menu with a black ribbon, creating a very elegant contrast with the white tablecloth and napkins, simple mise-en-place in line with the preferences of the couple.
No flowers were placed on the table, but rather lots of candles in glass cylinders of different sizes to create a very romantic atmosphere after sunset. Bailey and Jacob were so happy when they did their first dance as husband and wife in this beautiful villa in Val d’Orcia, Tuscany!
The wedding menu was also a delicious selection of Italian flavours, using local ingredients:
Cappelletti stuffed with Chianina beef
Risotto with Pachino tomatoes, basil, Burrata flakes
Wood oven roasted Tuscan piglet with Roasted potatoes with rosemary
Tiramisu, wild berries cheesecake and rum cream
IGT Toscana Red Wine
