The perfect destination wedding in Tuscany
WHAT IS DESTINATION WEDDING AND WHY GET MARRIED IN TUSCANY?
Thinking of getting married soon? A destination wedding is a fun and memorable gathering that brings together friends and families in a location away from your homeland. It is a fantastic opportunity for the guests as well to finally start a holiday abroad because you will definitely take this as a long vacation!
In this article I'll answer to the most FAQ about planning a wedding away from your hometown:
why get married in Tuscany;
how much a wedding in Tuscany costs;
how to handle guests' accommodation;

benefits of hiring a local wedding planner
WHY GET MARRIED IN TUSCANY
Tuscany is a very elastic region and has a lot to offer in terms of beautiful, cozy and intimate venues where you could celebrate the “yes-I-do” day with your closed family and friends. What wedding style are you envisioning? We have wineries or farms for a boho-chic or rustic-country-chic wedding; resorts and villas for a traditional-romantic wedding; or castles and abbeys for a fairytale-like wedding…and lot more!
COST OF A DESTINATION WEDDING IN TUSCANY
Destination weddings have maximum 60 guests count and the cost depends on this factor plus of course what priorities you have got. For a complete and rustic-chic wedding of 60 guests including guests' accommodation and all the services on the wedding day, consider around 30.000,00 Euros budget (if you are interested to have a draft budget spreadsheet, contact me!).
HOW TO HANDLE GUESTS' ACCOMMODATION
As a wedding planner, I suggest to book a venue that offers accommodation onsite. Should the venue you really love, does not offer rooms, no problem at all! I can help fine the nearby hotels. Of course it is preferable to pick a complete service venue so that you do not have to organize transfers or oblige your guests to drive after a long and funny party all-night long! I offer in my full package the handling of the accommodation booking so that you do not have to think of this. Or you may add the hotel information on your wedding website and let your guests do it on their own or through your wedding planner.
BENEFITS OF BRINGING YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHER FROM HOME
Not many decide to bring their own photographer from home because they are aware about the cost considering the travel fees. What we suggest is to reach out to the photographer and explain your plans, you will definitely find a solution together. Besides being local, you can organize engagement sessions together which is a fantastic way to break the ice and know them better - remember the photographer will be one of the vendors you will spend much of your time during the wedding day! And last not least, they become real friends that will accompany you all throughout your life (maternity sessions, newborn photo pictures, first birthday and so on...).
BENEFITS OF HIRING A LOCAL WEDDING PLANNER
It is important to hire a local wedding planner because she is familiar with the location and consequently could suggest the best vendors and services that best match your desires and wishes and budget. Also she can take care of the planning process by taking the stress off of you and still keep you updated about anything through budget sheets, reports and timelines. Don't just decide the vendor based on the price, but on the value that she shows on her works and the way she approaches you. Said this, do not be scared about fixing video calls. These are very important to see if she is the right fit for you!
