We had our wedding at Villamena over the weekend of 2nd-5th June and we can't stress enough how brilliant Raffaella and Simona were, not just on the day, but in the two years of planning and build up. I read in another review before our wedding: "trust them". And this truly was the right advice. They really know what they're doing and their sometimes relaxed attitude is simply because they have done this 100s of times before. They are both incredibly kind and welcoming and really made our wedding feel important to them. Nothing was too much trouble and all my requests were met with a 'sure no problem'. The planning process was generally very smooth. We went out to visit once but otherwise conducted all of our planning over Zoom and email. We opted to book our own photographer and string quartet but otherwise used all of the suppliers provided by Villamena. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and just as we'd asked for and they set up these incredible 'starry sky' fairy lights in the terrace which were absolutely stunning and well worth the extra cost. The most impressive thing was definitely the food - it was absolutely incredible across the whole weekend - from the BBQ to the wedding dinner, to the pizza and pasta on Sunday. It was all simply amazing and they catered brilliantly to all of our guests' many dietary requirements. I can't eat gluten and had the best gluten free pasta and pizza I've ever eaten! On the day, we were very unlucky and experienced some of the worst hail and rain ever for that time of year. But Raffaella and Simona had ordered in this amazing marquee to link the refectory and the terrace and we were able to move the ceremony at the last minute to keep everyone dry. I was so touched by the effort they'd gone to to ensure our wedding was still special despite the insane weather! It was truly magical and now I couldn't imagine it any other way. This was truly a wonderful place to get married. Our guests all raved about the venue and the surrounding beautiful countryside. The apartments are really beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had breakfast baskets supplied in every room which were amazing and ensured everyone had plenty to eat outside of the wedding events. We also hired the nearby Sole Luna which was really convenient if you want to have a few more guests staying nearby. Overall, we both truly recommend Villamena as an amazing wedding venue. We will never forget the weekend we had and will be coming back in years to come for our anniversaries!

We brought 55 people from Northern Ireland to Sorgnano for a full week, Monday-Friday, with the wedding on the Wednesday. To say it was perfect would be an understatement. Every single guest and family member loved their accommodation. Everyone had more than enough to do and boredom was never an issue, with the beautiful grounds being explored, activities like wine tasting taking place and the pool being well utilised. The castle itself is the most incredible location for a wedding, regardless of the weather, and the food is to die for. When we went for our menu tasting back in April my eyes literally watered when I tasted the sliced angus. Aside from the wedding food, the breakfast, lunch and the buffet dinner (we requested this) were incredible and the portions were huge, nobody was ever left wanting. In terms of value for money I think you would struggle to find a better location. Not only was it great value for my wife and I for the wedding, our friends and family felt it was great value for what they spent on drinks and meals throughout the stay. Marco and his staff were wonderful hosts and made us and our guests feel at home the entire time. I can't thank them all enough and my wife and I will never forget our wedding week.

Fonte Sala is a beautiful spot for a wedding - stunning countryside views, complete privacy, and easy to get to Montefalco. We loved that the accommodation was split into different apartments so we could accommodate a lot of out guests on site. The owners were very helpful, recommending wedding planners, providing local information and organising transport for us and our guests. A really lovely place to host a wedding - especially if you need to sleep a lot of guests.

It is hard to sum up in words just how incredible our wedding was at Abbazia San Faustino. Firstly the venue is situated in the most romantic setting, the views, nature and peaceful atmosphere make it such a magnificent location. The team at the Abbazia are incredible. We had the pleasure of working with Anna and Salvatore throughout the entire week/weekend of our wedding. Their dedication to us/family/friends was exceptional, nothing was ever too much trouble. For this we are both so incredibly grateful. The rooms are great, very antique and stylish. The bathroom and showers are more modern which we really liked. When it came to the food, our breakfasts, lunches, dinners and the wedding meal itself were all great. If you are thinking of getting married here don't hesitate. Salvatore and Anna will take great care of you!

Where to begin with our experience, firstly with our wedding planner, Marta ; Without Marta our day would not have been possible, she was completely submerged into our wishes and wills for the wedding day and has a complete talent for turning our thoughts into reality. Her professionalism and dedication was evident from not just the first meeting but the first email correspondence we had together, she was always available via WhatsApp and email, and nothing was too much trouble. We grew an incredible relationship whilst planning the wedding and Marta made us feel relaxed and at ease, especially since we were liaising with her from London and unable to come and visit often. We highly recommend her as a wedding planner as she will not just help you every step of the way, but she will take the pressure off you as a couple so you have the freedom to think and plan without stress. With regards to hotel Bramante itself, we were blown away by the stunning panoramic views, beautiful swimming pool, incredible decor not just in the rooms but throughout the hotel, and the food was just 10/10. However, what sold us to selecting the Bramante for our wedding venue was the staff itself. All the staff follow the same philosophy of complete dedication and love towards their work. We felt like royalty during our stay and our family had the same sensation, nothing was too much trouble and we were helped by all staff every step of the way. We simply cannot wait to go back and relive our memories with all the staff at the Bramante, if you are looking for a true family feel and wonderful atmosphere this is the place to choose. They catered to every request and made the whole experience for us easy and memorable.
