A wedding in Italy

Long tables, low light, and nothing left to arrange.

Choose the venue and the rest

The catalogue

10,473 properties, 22 regions, and the three facts that decide them.

Seats, beds, and the hour the music stops. No directory indexes them. We price 13 today and are calling for the rest.

Photographs are of the region, credited, and never of the venue. None of these properties has been contacted: choosing one is what sends your planner to the telephone.

Who does the work

Giulia drafts the plan. A human planner approves every step of it and does the work.

Giulia drafts and checks. A person telephones, negotiates and signs. Nothing an agent produces reaches you before somebody has confirmed it.

Giulia, our planning agentYour planner, a person. Not yet hired. The first season is 2027, and we will name her here the day she signs.What each of them may do

The part nobody publishes

Seven things an Italian venue contract does not say on the first page.

The olive grove is charged separately. The music stops at 23:00 by ordinance. Setup and the day after are billable. All seven are priced into your estimate, or named in what it excludes.
