Borgo Stomennano, Monteriggioni, Tuscany

“Our wedding weekend was a dream thanks to Luisa, the amazing vendors/wedding planner we had and the gorgeous Borgo Stomennano! Although both I and my now-husband are based in London/nyc and we don’t speak a word of Italian, it did not pose a problem for organizing such a fantastic wedding thanks to Luisa and our vendors’ responsiveness and sense of responsibility. A lot of our guests came up to us later and told us this was the most beautiful wedding venue and wedding that they’ve been to. People were taking photos and can’t stop raving about how gorgeous everything is. We had 70 guests who were all comfortably seated in the backyard for dinner, which was decorated with fairy lights. The great thing about the venue is that it has a lot of different areas for different parts of the wedding, eg: welcome drinks on the right of the entrance, ceremony/cocktails on the left of the entrance, dinner at the back and dance party/cake cutting by the pool. Our guests were constantly exploring the venue and discovering new areas as the night went on, ultimately ending in an impromptu pool party! Our wedding party and families stayed on-site at the venue and throughly enjoyed the beautiful facilities full of character, as well as the pool. The night after the wedding, my brothers/friends and I even hung out by the rooftop area by the pool to look at shooting stars as there was a meteor shower that night (stars are abundant and clear from the venue)! Luisa and team have done so many weddings that they know exactly what to expect and how to help us navigate through items like how the chairs should be transported from the front to the back for instance. She has also worked with most of our vendors before so there were no surprises there and everything went off without a hitch. Plus, it’s easy to get to Borgo Stomennano from the Florence airport as there is a highway connecting the two locations resulting in an easy 50 min drive. This was a huge win for our guests traveling from out of town (especially new Yorkers and Londoners who barely ever drive) and would not have enjoyed driving narrow and windy Italian roads to some of the other venues we had previously checked out. Thank you Luisa and family (and of course the resident great dane Dante who was the star of the show) for making our wedding so magical. We could not have chosen a better venue for this milestone in our lives!”
