Castle Wedding Venues in Italy

We decided to get married in Puglia because we fell in love here. A medieval tower in the heart of Lecce with a beautiful terrace and gardens for our dinner wedding. We would like to thank Anna & Fernando for the wonderful organization. Our guests booked the overnight stay at Torre del Parco and we enjoyed also pre-wedding party on the beach. A perfect wedding:) Again thanks to all of the Torre del Parco team

Having our wedding at Castello Brancaccio was the best decision we’ve ever made. We hadn’t seen the castle ourselves before arriving for our wedding, which of course made us nervous, but the process to plan everything was extremely thorough. We worked with Christian, Riccardo, and Roberts for about a year via email and had great communication. Once we were there, every single thing about the venue blew our expectations away. It is simply stunning. Every room is beautiful and the view is unbeatable. The venue connected us with most of our vendors; Melania Mariano for hair and makeup, Colizzi Fotografi for videography, & Daniela Ferraro for florals. We also hired Oksana Savenchuk as our photographer. All of these vendors were amazing, and their professionalism truly made all the difference in our successful day. We recommend them all highly as they know the location well. The CB staff all around was incredibly responsive to our directions, kind and helpful to us and all our guests, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect in every way. Daniele and Maria especially worked hard for us when we arrived on site and were 2 of our favorite people in all of Italy. The bartenders and servers were all so kind and spoke English very well with our guests. Our ceremony on the panoramic terrace was pure magic. All of our instructions for the music were followed to perfection. The staff even executed our first dance video on a projector screen flawlessly without any rehearsal. During cocktail hour, they brought us as the newlyweds an entire plate of each of the appetizers to ourselves, ensuring we were well fed and had full drinks at all times. There was no hesitation to make sure we were happy on our big day. The food was above our expectations as well. We hadn’t tasted our menu, just hoped it would be good - and the chef did not disappoint on any of our dishes. Our wedding cake was gorgeous too. Even the rehearsal dinner and breakfast impressed our guests! The DJ did not use our playlist for the dance party, but it was still very fun music and the lights & laser were awesome. With destination weddings, it’s so easy for something to go wrong. It’s truly incredible that everything was so excellent at Castello Brancaccio. The food, staff, accommodations, surrounding town, and overall beautiful vibe was everything we could’ve asked for and more. We can never thank Castello Brancaccio enough for the most perfect wedding we ever could’ve imagined. Not one of our guests will ever forget the time we spent at this special place, and we already can’t wait to come back someday ❤️

The most magical weekend celebrating our wedding! We truly cannot recommend Borgo Castelvecchi enough to anyone dreaming of a Tuscan wedding. From start to finish, Barbara, Sofia, Daniele, and the entire team were warm, welcoming, and incredibly supportive with every detail. As an English couple planning from abroad, we had limited opportunities to meet suppliers in person. The team went above and beyond, not only helping us find amazing local vendors but also managing every aspect seamlessly. Their flexibility and dedication meant that any issues were quickly resolved, and they worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. The venue itself is breathtaking, full of character, charm, and surrounded by stunning scenery. The winery tour was a wonderful bonus for our guests; many enjoyed it so much they even bought bottles to take home after tasting the wines throughout our celebration. The nearby village is absolutely worth a visit too; it’s quaint, picturesque, and a must-stop for ice cream and pastries at Bar Sampoli. 😍 We kicked off the weekend with a pizza party on the first night, which was an absolute hit. The team took care of everything, serving up fresh pizzas from their traditional oven, each one delicious and not short on options. The chocolate dessert pizza in particular the kids adored! On our wedding day, everything was simply perfect. The food was outstanding, and the whole day felt relaxed and joyful, allowing us to soak in every moment with our loved ones. Barbara was amazing in the planning all the way through to delivery. All our guests were blown away by the venue and had nothing but praise for the wonderful staff. It was a weekend we will cherish forever, and we cannot thank the team enough for making it so unforgettable. The venue itself is beautiful, full of character and incredible scenery. The winery on tour was a great bonus for our guests who enjoyed a look around, and returned to purchase bottles to take home after enjoying it so much during our wedding day. The near by village is well worth a visit, quaint with incredible views and an absolute must to visit Bar Sampoli for their ice cream and pastries 😍 We chose to hold a pizza party on the first night. The team took care of everything. Made fresh in their original pizza oven the pizza's where incredible, and the chocolate dessert pizza went down particularly well with the kids. For our wedding day everything was seamless. All our guests loved their stay and had nothing but compliments for the venue and the staff. It's a weekend we will never forget and can not thank you enough for making happen!

To have our wedding at Castello di Montignano was nothing short of amazing. All our friends and loved ones had an amazing time and already two of my friends have asked about the contact information and looking to have their own weddings there. Food, drinks and atmosphere was 10/10 and we wish we could do it again.

My husband and I recently got married in Tenuta di Forte Sorgnano and it was a magical experience. From the very beginning communication with Marco was so easy, he provided all the information in relation to what could be done at the venue. After talking with Marco and seeing the magnificent photos of the estate we were keen to go and view it. It did not disappoint, in fact it was more spectacular in real life than the photos. Marco was such a pleasure to deal with and made our visit a great experience. The estate had everything needed to escape the hustle and bustle of real life including a pool, restaurant, bar, kiddies play area and lots more. We instantly fell in love with the venue and booked it immediately when we got home. During our time planning the wedding Marco was extremely helping in providing information about the vendors and pointing us in the right direction. His kind nature always put our minds at ease every time we had a call with him, making the process feel like a breeze. Considering we found the wedding planning process so enjoyable we knew that our time at Forte Sorgnano was going to be great, but we could not have imagined how amazing it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, all the staff were wonderful going out of their way to help us in any way possible. Everything ran so smoothly it was like a dream. My husband, I and all of our guests have been using the words “fairytale wedding" to describe the experience. The food was spectacular and Marco was so accommodating to dietary restrictions and requirements. Marco even organised a cooking class for some of our guests one of the days which everybody thoroughly enjoyed. The day of our wedding at Forte Sorgnano is one we will never forget and we have Marco and all of his wonderful staff to thank for this.

We chose Castello di Bevilacqua because it won us over from our very first visit: an enchanting and elegant venue, full of versatile solutions perfect for any weather condition and every kind of need. From the very beginning, we felt we were in excellent hands thanks to Miresi, Anna, and Andrea, who guided us step by step with great availability, professionalism, and attention to detail. Every one of our wishes was heard, welcomed, and turned into reality — always with thoughtful alternatives and smart suggestions. One of the venue’s greatest strengths is the in-house catering. We had the tasting after confirming the date and were offered a rich and varied menu, with carefully crafted and delicious options. Special attention was given to guests with allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions, without ever compromising on quality or presentation. To say our guests were satisfied would be an understatement — we received countless compliments on every course. As for us, we truly fell in love with the menu and can’t wait to return to the castle’s restaurant to taste more extraordinary dishes. On the big day, the staff was impeccable, even in handling unexpected situations: discreet, efficient, always present, and ready for anything. They allowed us to live our wedding day completely stress-free, enjoying every moment with peace of mind and surrounded by our loved ones. We are extremely happy to have chosen this location — honestly, we would do it all over again 100 times!

We cannot find the words to describe how wonderful our wedding weekend at Castello di Titignano was, but we’ll try our best. The venue: The site itself is magical – beautifully located up in the Umbrian hills, you’ll find this gem that can only truly be experienced in person. For us, it was important that everyone could stay in one place and not have to travel between accommodations, the church, etc., during the wedding weekend. Since we had booked the entire Castello for the weekend, all our wedding guests stayed on-site, which allowed everyone to quickly get to know each other and created a very intimate, family-like atmosphere. The buildings themselves are stunningly beautiful and offer the perfect rustic Italian feel, with many different spaces to enjoy throughout the weekend. The view: The view speaks for itself – but must be experienced live – and provides the perfect backdrop. The elevated location also ensures a pleasant temperature, even in summer. The fact that you overlook the Castello’s own vineyards makes the experience even more personal. The food: The food is amazing and generous from start to finish. We chose to have a food truck on Friday, which created a lovely, relaxed atmosphere as our guests mingled over a casual dinner. On the wedding day itself, we started with a buffet and mingling before dinner, which all our guests have praised and talked about – it was so generous and beautifully presented. For the dinner, we had quite a few requests, and the Castello team was incredibly helpful and service-minded in accommodating them. We were absolutely delighted with all the food – generous, well-prepared Italian cuisine at its best! The wine: The fact that the Castello produces its own wine is a bonus, making the experience feel even more exclusive and personal. The wines are incredibly good, and we (along with many of our guests) chose to bring some home after the wedding. Now, every sip takes us back to the wedding weekend! The service: The staff is incredibly professional and accommodating! We had such a wonderful experience with the service both before and during the wedding weekend. Friendly, caring, available, clear, and genuine from start to finish. Fiorenza, who helped us coordinate everything, is amazing and easy to communicate with, and the rest of the Castello team was incredibly kind and helpful. Thanks to them, the weekend went smoothly, and we could focus on each other and our guests. What more is there to say... We had a fantastic experience, and we couldn’t have wished for a better wedding venue.

We celebrated our wedding at Il Castello di San Ruffino in September 2024, and it was truly unforgettable from start to finish! Our three-day celebration included a pizza party, the wedding day, and a pool party to close out the weekend. Pierluigi and his team were attentive, accommodating, and truly invested in making our wedding weekend perfect. From listening to our vision to recommending vendors, they took our ideas and elevated them with their expertise. Special thanks to Roberto, who flawlessly coordinated each event over the weekend, ensuring everything went smoothly. His professionalism and warmth made us feel completely at ease, knowing every moment was taken care of. We also want to give a shoutout to Laura and Carlotta at reception, who went above and beyond to make us, and our guests feel like royalty. From the bistro to the bar, the service was impeccable, always delivered with a smile and warmth. The bistro provided incredible meals throughout the weekend, from the wedding-day to late-night snacks - the truffle risotto was a highlight of the weekend! All 60 of our guests stayed at the venue, and each of them loved their rooms and the beautiful setting. With such a gorgeous backdrop and helpful staff, everyone left with nothing but good memories and compliments. If you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue where the setting, service, and staff all come together seamlessly, we couldn’t recommend Il Castello di San Ruffino more!

Torre in Pietra captured our daughter and son-in-law's vision and delivered the wedding of a lifetime that will forever be a part of our family's history. Torre in Pietra is more than a spectacular wedding venue. It is a place where couples' dreams come true and where memories of a lifetime are made. The magic starts with the outstanding quality, care, and professionalism of Pasquale, the proprietor, and his team. From the start, Torre in Pietra provided excellent service and a spectacular setting for a dream wedding rooted in our family's Italian heritage. Since we were planning the wedding from the U.S., we trusted in Pasquale to guide us every step of the way. Pasquale and his team were always kind and accessible. Pasquale offered unparalleled guidance and service. From the stunning setting and focus on every detail, to the five-star dining experience and elegance throughout, Torre in Pietra created a magnificent wedding celebration that will always be remembered. The exceptional details included an elegant cocktail hour outdoors, a five-course customized dinner menu, dessert on the rooftop with fireworks, cigar bar, and liquors, pastries and sweet treats from the region. The location is convenient to the Naples airport and on-site lodging makes overnight accommodations easy for travelers. Torre in Pietra is in Pietradifusi, a beautiful village in the province of Avellino, which is located in the Campania region. The venue is near local wine vineyards and sites such as Mount Vesuvius, Pompei, Salerno and Benevento, which further extends the wedding celebration with day trips and other special events.

We were married at the Borgo Petroro and have visited many times. It is Incredibly beautiful and exquisite with its rustic charm and stunning views The venue is a meticulously restored, complete with cobblestone paths, stone walls, beautiful gardens and incredible views, that offers a perfect blend of charm, history and romance. We have visited the Borgo a few times before our wedding and have visited many times since. On every occasion the service and experience has been superb. Thanks to Andrea and his team, we have created many incredible memories here. He guided us throughout the planning process with his knowledge, recommendations, and professionalism. The process of arranging a wedding in another country could have been challenging without his advice, guidance, support, and knowledge. This is a hotel that is characterized by its team, which makes it perfect. There is nothing better than walking into a beautiful room that is clean, spotless, and smells divine (here is no doubt that the cleaning team does an excellent job) In addition to this as you listen to bird song, you will be blown away by the views. The reception team are fantastic and will go above and beyond to make your stay as perfect as possible going the extra mile to help. They are approachable, professional and always friendly. Just superb and an asset to the team. Recruiting and cultivating hardworking, diligent, professional, friendly waiters and waitresses / kitchen staff is difficult. All of the members of this team are exceptional and a credit to the Borgo and whoever assembled them. Each of them is incredibly polite, professional, friendly, and hardworking. Our hearts are full of gratitude for your kindness and everything you did for our wedding weekend. The Chefs - just unbelievable. Each and every meal was exquisite well-prepared delectable meal with great presentation and interesting flavours. Food that I can only compare to ambrosia, the food of the gods! I’d highly recommend it to anyone. It is impossible to overstate how highly I recommend Borgo Petroro to you, especially Andrea who coordinated every step to ensure our wedding was a success. When challenges arose, his diligence, quick thinking and determination made them disappear. The Borgo Petroro is a true gem of a hotel, with the team it makes the Borgo so, so special. Bravo!
