Beatrice Italy Weddings

We booked our wedding at Castello di Montignano in the height of covid. All of our friends and family thought we were mad to commit to such a huge decision without even seeing it first but we were honestly not worried at all. We had spent hours researching wedding venues online and had narrowed it down to a few in the Umbria area. Given that we couldn’t travel, we’d arranged Skype calls with the wedding venues we liked so they could give us a virtual tour. We were instantly blown away by the warmth and kindness that Beatrice and the owner of the castle, Giuseppe showed us. We just knew that this was the right place for us to get married.

The whole wedding planning process was an absolute breeze thanks to Beatrice, we always looked forward to our meetings with her on zoom. Nothing at all was ever too much trouble, even catering to a gluten free and vegan bride!!

Skip forward a few years and a postponed wedding date due to covid and it was finally time for us to get married. Where do I even begin?

The weather wasn’t on our side before our wedding. We’d had thunderstorms on the days leading up to it. I’m such a sun worshipper and had my heart set on getting married outside in the sunshine so the possibility of that not happening made me sad. Beatrice however remained optimistic at all times and actually sold me on the plan B option if it did happen to rain which I never thought would happen. Everything however turned out perfectly in the end and the sun came out just as our friends and family were arriving at the caste the day before.

Our wedding consisted of a 3 day celebration. On day 1 we hosted an aperitif dinner in the hortus garden of the castle which was absolutely beautiful. The setting was so romantic and the food was plentiful and so tasty!

Day 2 was our wedding day. The organisation of the day was so well thought out and that was all down to Beatrice and her wonderful team. From arranging different breakfast times to ensure that me and my husband didn’t bump into each other on the morning, gluten free and vegan croissants baked especially for me, a gorgeous lunch made up for us whilst we were getting ready… everything was just perfect! The set up of the ceremony and reception was just as I’d imagined, if not better. We had just celebrated my best friend’s wedding in England and had to set up everything for that the night before but that wasn’t at all the case for us.Beatrice took care of absolutely everything and the whole day ran like clockwork.

On day 3 we hosted a pizza pool party. We’d prepaid for cocktails to be served on this day and Beatrice helped us to come up with the idea of giving our guests drinks tokens to use on the day. These were a huge hit with our guests, there wasn’t one cocktail that the bar staff couldn’t make and if ever they were unsure about how to make one, they would look up how to do it and make it for us. Absolutely everything about the day.. the cocktails, the abundance of pizzas and other gorgeous food.. we were again just completely blown away by how much we got and more importantly the quality of everything.

The whole 3 days from start to finish were simply magical. Absolutely everything was carefully considered and thought of, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Beatrice knew exactly what our vision was and executed everything perfectly… better than we could have ever imagined. Our friends and family were blown away by the level of hospitality and warmth they received from all of the staff at the castle.

Beatrice is worth her weight in gold and I couldn’t recommend her services highly enough. Don’t hesitate to book… just do it, you will not regret it.
