Unconventional weddings in Umbria: the perfect choice for an unforgettable destination wedding

An unconventional wedding is a clear choice of style, you have to get it right!

If the weddings you constantly see on the web all look the same to you, then it means that you are ready for an unconventional wedding and are looking for your inspiration and proposals that will suit your style and needs.

Make yourself comfortable, we have some catching up to do.

Unconventional weddings in Italy where to find them

When we talk about destination weddings in Italy, our minds immediately fly to the most popular destinations: Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como.

And we can hardly blame those who sponsor them.

They are wonderful places, with breathtaking landscapes and enchanting villas. But there is one small ‘though’…

Have you ever stopped to think that these ultra-famous locations are just the ones everyone chooses?

If your dream is to have a wedding that stands out and truly tells a unique story, maybe it’s time to explore off the beaten track, off the traditional tourist routes.

What if I told you that there is a hidden, authentic and enchanting region that encompasses all that Italy has to offer, but with an even more intimate and special touch?

Welcome to Umbria, a land where traditions, unspoilt nature and local craftsmanship come together to create an unrepeatable experience.

Why choose Umbria for your unconventional wedding?

Umbria is the quiet soul of central Italy, often nicknamed ‘the green heart of Italy’.

There is no sea here, but there are lakes, rolling hills and medieval villages that seem suspended in time.

Every corner of Umbria is authentic, far from mass tourism, and the wonderful thing is that everything is still on a human scale.

Choosing to get married in Umbria means opting for something unconventional, but without sacrificing the beauty, comfort and elegance that a wedding in Italy promises.

Here, every detail exudes history, culture and authenticity.

Dream wedding venues: off the beaten track

Umbria has no shortage of enchanting locations, but compared to other regions, wedding venues here remain more ‘niche’, more authentic and decidedly less crowded.

Imagine saying your fateful ‘yes’ in a medieval castle overlooking green hills, or in a historic villa with lush gardens and breathtaking views.

And let’s not forget the medieval villages, which offer the perfect setting for an intimate and evocative ceremony, where every stone seems to tell an ancient love story.

One of the most extraordinary locations is the Castello di Petrata, a place where we have organised many of our weddings.

Nestled in the Umbrian hills, this castle offers a perfect mix of history and modern luxury. It is perfect for brides who want an unconventional wedding, where elegance and nature blend harmoniously.

And then there is Villa Costanza, another hidden gem overlooking the spectacular panorama of the Umbrian hills. Here, your ceremony will be enveloped in an intimate and refined atmosphere, ideal for brides seeking exclusivity in a familiar and peaceful setting.

 A plunge into traditions: handicrafts and authentic flavours

Getting married in Umbria also means immersing yourself in its ancient traditions.

Umbrian craftsmanship is famous throughout the world, and one of its most celebrated expressions is Deruta ceramics.

Imagine incorporating these handcrafted masterpieces into your mise en place, adding a touch of authenticity and sophistication to your wedding.

What about the food? If you are thinking of an eco-friendly wedding in tune with local products, Umbria offers the best of

Italian cuisine: extra virgin olive oil, black truffles, extraordinary wines… Every meal here is a sensory experience that will leave your guests speechless.
