Overview
Why Choose Tuscany?
Tuscany represents the very essence of Italian romance—a landscape of undulating hills topped with cypress trees, medieval villages perched on hilltops, and vineyards that stretch to the horizon. This is where the Renaissance was born, and that spirit of beauty, artistry, and celebration of life infuses every wedding held here. The region offers an extraordinary diversity of settings, from the artistic treasures of Florence to the medieval towers of San Gimignano, from the wine country of Chianti to the golden valleys of Val d'Orcia (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Whether you envision an elegant affair in a Renaissance villa or a rustic celebration in a working vineyard, Tuscany delivers. Beyond the scenery, it's the Tuscan way of life that makes weddings here unforgettable—long tables under the stars, exceptional wine flowing freely, farm-to-table cuisine that celebrates the region's bounty, and a pace that encourages guests to linger, connect, and celebrate love in its purest form.
Timing
Best Time to Get Married
Tuscany enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. The region is beautiful year-round, but the prime wedding season runs from late spring through early autumn when outdoor celebrations can be held under clear skies.
Spring
April - June
Wildflowers carpet the hills, temperatures are pleasant (15-25°C), and the landscape is lush and green. May and June offer ideal conditions with longer days.
Summer
July - August
Hot temperatures (27-40°C) with occasional heat waves, especially inland. Best for evening celebrations. Peak season requires booking 12-18 months ahead.
Autumn
September - October
Harvest season brings golden light, grape picking, and comfortable temperatures. September is considered the sweet spot—warm days, cooler evenings, fewer crowds.
Winter
November - March
Cooler temperatures (3-15°C) and November is the wettest month. Ideal for intimate indoor celebrations with cozy Tuscan atmosphere and significant savings.
Planning Ahead
Legal Requirements
Italy welcomes international couples for legal ceremonies. The process requires planning but experienced local wedding planners manage these requirements routinely, guiding couples through every step.
Pro Tip
Many couples complete a civil ceremony at home and have a symbolic or religious blessing in Tuscany. This provides full creative freedom in venue choice while avoiding bureaucratic complexity.
