Irina and Martin, a lovely young couple living in London, he with South Tyrolean Italian roots and she originally from Switzerland, chose the heart of Tuscany for their unforgettable destination wedding. Captivated by the rolling hills and golden light of the Val d’Orcia, they fell in love with Borgo di Castelvecchio.
Borgo di Castelvecchio is a historic Tuscan hamlet nestled in the hills between Pienza and San Quirico d’Orcia. With its charming stone villas, panoramic terraces, and authentic rustic elegance, it offers a secluded and enchanting setting for luxury destination weddings in Tuscany.
With its stone buildings, picturesque courtyards, panoramic terraces, and Italian-style gardens, the Borgo provides a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for every moment of your special day, from the ceremony among olive trees to a candlelit dinner under the stars.
The wedding day began with an intimate ceremony among centuries-old olive trees, where Irina and Martin exchanged vows in a peaceful and natural setting. The gentle Tuscan breeze, the warm sunlight, and the heartfelt emotions created a truly unforgettable moment.
After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to a cocktail hour in the villa’s Italian-style garden, where live music and refined Tuscan finger foods delighted the senses. Local delicacies, sparkling wines, and a relaxed, joyful atmosphere made it a perfect prelude to the evening celebration.
The wedding dinner reception took place in the main piazza of the Borgo, transformed into a magical open-air dining experience. Long wooden tables adorned with wildflowers, soft fairy lights, and elegant tableware created a sophisticated yet convivial ambiance. The combination of rustic charm and chic styling captured the essence of a true Tuscan wedding celebration.
Before the wedding day, Irina and Martin hosted a charming welcome dinner for their closest friends and family—a joyful evening that set the tone for their unforgettable destination wedding in Tuscany. The event was a true celebration of Italian culture and hospitality, with an authentic menu featuring wood-fired pizza, handmade pasta, and classic Italian drinks like Spritz and Prosecco, all beautifully provided by Brindapino.
Set in a relaxed, rustic atmosphere under the Tuscan sky, the evening was filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and live folk music, creating a festive and heartwarming ambiance. This folk-inspired Italian night perfectly reflected the couple’s love for Italy and their desire to give guests a genuine taste of la dolce vita before the big day. It was more than a dinner—it was a celebration of connection, culture, and love in one of the most romantic regions of Italy.
