Robert and Victoria wanted to marry in Abruzzo in a location in which was possible to have the civil ceremony and also the reception. They loved nature and their desire was to stay surrounded by nature during their wedding. So we have proposed them a location that is unique in its kind, a monastery, isolated on the wonderful mountains in Abruzzo near L’Aquila. This place is a national monument and has also a museum inside with a lot of kind of finds. Is the “Monastero fortezza del Santo Spirito” in Ocre a little borough near L’Aquila.

In this beautiful place there is the possibility to have the civil ceremony inside a deconsecrated church of 1300 th. But we have decided to arrange the ceremony on the terrace of the monastery with the mountain landscape on the background.

The bride and the groom with their parents has allowed in the monastery from the day before the wedding and they had there the preparation.

The ceremony has been probably the most emotional that i never seen…we have cried from the start to the end! There was a lot of love in every ceremony moments…there were also surprises by the moms….als me i cried a lot 😉

They had already a daughter so was very important for them to stay with her during the marriage!

She was the right of their union!
After the ceremony the spouse gone to take photos in the nature withe their wedding photographer in Italy BG Photo and people enjoy the aperitif.

In this location there is one of the best chef in Abruzzo, Marcello Spadone, the owner of “La Bandiera” a special restaurant with michelin stars!

So the guests have had an excellent reception!

The aperitif was rich of local product but also excellent product from all over Italy, the wine was amazing and people love a lot the show cooking with fried things.

John & Sharron

This two fantastic english guys chosen Abruzzo as the perfect place for their wedding in italy.

They had a private villa in a little borough in the Teramo province and decided to have there their wedding reception. They wanted an informal wedding, something more similar at a party then a formal dinner. So we have created for them a very special event.

We have arranged and managed the documentation for the civil ceremony. The ceremony has been arranged in the town hall, and the mayor (helped by an interpreter) celebrate the wedding!

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good… it was very rainy day, so we have organized everything inside and not in the beautiful terrace that we have chosen together. But the ceremony was very emotional and also funny!

after this all the guest have gone to the villa for the reception, a local restaurant had arranged the catering with typical abruzzo and italian product..so cheeses, salami, pasta and also fish and meat. They eaten and drunk a lot!

In the villa we have built a very amazing gazebo with a lot of lights inside…there weren’t place card for guests so everyone can seats where they want! There were wooden tables with a lot of candles and jars with gypsophila above.

A very brilliant live band Back to the swing play live music from the villa’s terrace looking everyone from the top. People dance near the swimming pool and on the grass. This wedding was very interesting, intimate and funny!

We thanks John and Sharon to have chosen us for their wedding in italy.
