Castello Di Montignano - Italy

We got married at Castello Montignano in October 2022, and it exceeded all our expectations.
We booked the 3 day exclusive package which was definitely worth every penny. We couldn’t recommend this package more – we had complete use of the venue, everyone felt so at home and relaxed for the few days we were there. The staff couldn’t do more for us, we had complete use of the facilities in the castle including the spa which had a sauna and jacuzzi pool – this was a great hit with all of our guests and could be used at any time of the day. It was the perfect cure every morning!
The whole planning process was so smooth as Beatrice is there to help every step of the way. We didn’t think it would be that easy to plan everything as we are both from Ireland, but through zoom calls and emails and our one visit for the menu tasting, we felt that everything was always covered. Mariana, the florist who works in the castle directly, also did an amazing job at bringing our ideas to life. Just from sending a few photos, and meeting the day of our menu tasting, Mariana really just knew exactly what we wanted. All of our other suppliers were recommended by the castle which was another hard part of planning a wedding from a different country but having recommendations to hand really made this and easier process for us.
The wedding day was amazing from start to finish. The whole day ran so smoothly and was so well planned out by Beatrice, she even had followed up with some of our suppliers the day before to make sure they were all set and had everything planned out with all of them too which really gave us complete comfort in everything going to plan. Every part of the day was thought through and we felt that we could just enjoy the day knowing the staff had everything under control in the background. The food was absolutely delicious, we are still hearing about how great it was from our guests weeks later!
If you are planning a wedding in Italy, we really recommend having your wedding at Castello di Montignano – the venue, food, staff, views were all perfect and we can’t wait to visit again!

If you’re reading this, you’ve found the perfect wedding venue!

Finding a destination wedding venue can be a scary task. In fact, we looked at over 50 different places across Italy!

We eventually picked Castello di Montignano and had our dream wedding here on the 3rd Sept 2022 and couldn’t have hoped for more. Here’s why:

????Venue????
The Castle is a fairytale, offering historic charm coupled with a modern 4-star hotel experience. It has stunning views across the rolling hills of Umbria, perfect for your wedding photos. The gardens are lovely, with lots of different spaces to mix things up. The pool is big and really clean, great for guests to enjoy in the day and jump in at night!

The Pavilion is a real highlight of this place. It’s a permanent structure in the garden, with glass sides that works perfectly for the dinner and reception. It has a modern speaker system that is loud(!) and also specially designed so you can have music till late (we finished at 4am!)

The Castle comfortably sleeps 40+ (with apartments) and the rooms are a great size, all with big beds, modern bathrooms, mini-fridges and typical mod-cons.

The location of the venue is great, close to Rome and Perugia airports. You can drive from Rome in 2hrs or get a train to Terni which is less than 1.5hrs long and super easy.

???? Food & Service ????
As a 4* hotel, the Castle has its own high quality catering team, which is a massive benefit and they are also so accomodating with your requests (they even helped us have an ice cream wedding cake!)

The food and service were both impeccable throughout the weekend and honestly the quality of the food and menu choices are second to none.

The dining experience across the 3 days was consistently at a very high standard, and our guests had only good things to say.

????Price ????
This will be dependant on what you want for your wedding, but we can say that having looked at prices from other venues, Castello di Montignano is very reasonable. The value you get though, is priceless and the team will always work with you to help manage your budget, keeping things completely transparent.

??????? The team ???????
You will not find a more experienced, friendly and accommodating team at Castello di Montignano.

Beatrice is a superstar and took everything in her stride as our wedding planner. She gives you space to decide how you want it, whilst also offering suggestions based on all her experience. She was calm and supportive when we needed it and always optimistic, friendly and super organised! Giuseppe also an absolute hero, so welcoming and great fun. Marta, Mariana and the rest of the team just so wonderful and put in such incredible hard work for every wedding they host.

We simply cannot thank the team at Castello di Montignano enough for our dream wedding. It was all we could have hoped for and more!

Ci siamo recati la prima volta al Castello disillusi, pensando di non poterci mai permettere un posto come quello. Ma con l'aiuto di Giuseppe, Marta, Beatrice e Mariana siamo riusciti a costruire un evento anche superiore alle nostre aspettative. Ci siamo goduti una giornata da sogno e i nostri ospiti con noi. Ancora enormemente grazie per tutto quanto avete fatto e fate ogni giorno.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding at this amazing venue with 50 friends and Family. We paid for the 3 day package which was worth every penny. The welcome aperitif in the Horthus garden was a beautiful setting, the wedding day itself was amazing with our ceremony on the pool gardens overlooking the hills and the pool / pizza party on the final day was a great way to finish the celebrations. The staff couldn’t do enough for you, the setting is idyllic and everyone had the best 3 days. The food was delicious and there was lots of it. We had complete exclusivity of the venue so could stay up late, use the small spa inside the hotel at free will, relax by the pool day and night. I highly recommend anyone looking for an Italian wedding to consider this venue, you won’t regret it. Special mention to Beatrice, the wedding planner who helped us plan our day and answer a million questions. We also used wedding motion Italy for our wedding video and Alessandro Mari for Photos. Both were very professional and excellent at what they do.

The venue is around 1.5 hours north of Rome or 40 mins south of Perugia, which both have airports. If you are looking to get married in Italy look no further. We will be back to visit very soon. Grazie Mille Montignano!

Organising a destination wedding from another country is hard enough… Try doing that during a global pandemic! The odds were stacked against us from the beginning, and planning was made even harder by the ever changing Covid restrictions that meant a ton of constant stress, obsessive news checking and a very unfortunate last minute postponement from 9 September 2021 to 12 July 2022.

I am Italian and my husband is British, and we live in London. Since the first time we made contact with Beatrice, Mr. Alcini and their team in December 2020, we felt valued as clients and sure that our needs were going to be met. Beatrice stood by our side during the whole of 2021, always being available for calls and answering our emails - showing a great deal of sympathy when we had to make the tough call of postponing our dream wedding. When the day finally arrived, our expectations were not only just met, but completely exceeded.

The website doesn’t do the venue justice: we had only seen the Castle in winter when we had our menu tasting, and when we arrived there in the summer we were blown away by the sheer scale and generosity of the accommodation. The venue itself is really versatile, with a lot of different and unique areas that can be used for a variety of purposes.

Over 3 days of events, our guests could not stop complimenting the food, the venue, the facilities and the amazing pool & views. The kids had a wonderful time and made memories that will last a lifetime. The day of the wedding wasn’t without its challenges - as unfortunately we had some rain and a blackout during dinner - but Beatrice went above and beyond to make the day happen in the way we’d always envisioned, for which we are both forever grateful.

The flower arrangements created by the lovely Mariana (the Castle’s own flower designer) were wonderful and made everyone feel like they were attending a fairytale wedding. We felt well taken care of and looked after, and if we could it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing!

To any couples out there who are considering booking Castello di Montignano as a venue for their wedding, we say GO FOR IT! You will not be disappointed, as these guys absolutely know what they’re doing and they are fantastic at it.

I can’t stress enough how magical it was, absolutely 10/10. A special thanks also to Simone and to the lovely lady who was working the breakfast shift, and of course to the rest of the team who worked super hard to make everything go smoothly.

We had an amazing wedding at Castello di montignano. We travelled with family and friends all the way from Norway to celebrate our special day at this fantastic castle. Beatrice did an amazing job. Our first meeting was over skype due to Covid and she showed us how amazing the castle was. Beatrice helped with everything and was very helpful. When we had the two days at the castle we could relax and enjoy ourselves since Beatrice had full controll of what was going to happen. Everyone in the wedding have been saying that the wedding was amazing and the castle was very beautiful. Would highly recommend Castello di montignano if you want a fairytale wedding and would also recommend to use Beatrice as the wedding planner.

Montignano will always be a special place for us and hope to go back soon :)

My partner and I recently got married in Castello Di Montignano and I’m still digesting how magical the location, staff, owner and entire week was for my partner and I and 130 of our friends and family. We booked the venue in early 2021 and from the get go, our in house wedding planner Beatrice was simply outstanding in terms of listening and understanding our needs & wants and creating a tailored wedding celebration for us. She went above and beyond so many times for us and has the most charming, warm and helpful demeanour. We wouldn’t have had the fairytale we had if it wasn’t for her and all she did for us.

The owner, Giuseppe, is also fantastic and really went out of his way to help us create the celebration we wanted and was very flexible and understanding in any dealings we had with him. He is a great character and both he and Beatrice are a formidable team with great, warm personalities and I can’t thank or commend them enough for all they did for us, both in the run up to the wedding and even more so throughout the 3 days themselves.

Mariana, the in house florist also was incredible and so tentative to our needs and requirements and went above and beyond in terms of delivering the most beautiful decor & display that completely surpassed our expectations. She is very patient and was so flexible and helpful from the get go. Marta & Simon, the Head of Services were also truly fantastic and really helped us and our guests on site also to make sure everything smoothly and that our guests were completely at ease and comfortable throughout their stay.

The food, service, rooms, helpful and friendly staff and their attention to detail was second to none and our friends and family haven’t stopped talking about what a fairytale and experience it was for them. From the welcome aperitif on day 1, the wedding day on day 2 and the leaving pizza / pool party on day 3 - Giuseppe, Beatrice and the entire staff left no stone unturned to ensure we had the best few days of our lives. Beatrice also went above and beyond liaising with our suppliers and supporting with last minute items that cropped up and did it all in the most calm, supporting and helpful manner and we’ll never forget it. She is superwoman and the entire staff and team are truly superb. We couldn’t recommend this venue and location enough and are so excited to get back their again soon and relive the fairytale all over again.

If you want to experience a fairytale in an Italian castle with the most supportive, experienced and detailed orientated team there is, then look no further than Castello Di Montignano.

Grazie Mille for everything,
Lillian & David

Following a postponement, we were so happy to celebrate our wedding abroad at Castello di Montignano in May 2022. It was certainly worth the wait. The best 3 days of our lives. Filled with so much love, laughter and memories to last a lifetime. We are from Dublin and had our nearest and dearest travel from all around the world to be with us to celebrate our special day.

From the moment we arrived at the castle, we were made to feel so welcome and that it was “our home”. Beatrice's relentless repetition of "The Castle is your home from the minute you arrive until you leave” and “I am your human clock - I will come and get you when you need to be somewhere or do something” on video calls for the 18 months previously was certainly true! Our wedding celebrations involved 3 days of events; a pasta night on Day 1, the wedding day on Day 2 and a pizza and pool party on Day 3. The food and drink was delicious and plentiful! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and so picturesque. Each room in the castle is different, can sleep different numbers of people and named after previous owners of the castle. All rooms have beautiful views. We held our pasta party in the Horthus garden and then ended up inside at the bar for more drinks , singing and dancing. Our first night was magical under the fairy lights with the sun setting behind us. An amazing start to our celebrations!

We had our wedding ceremony out by the pool overlooking the stunning scenery and provided lovely variety for our Wedding Day. The setting of our Wedding Day in the Pool Park was spectacular. Mariana did a beautiful job with the flowers and decorations. We had our starters outside during the drinks reception by the pool, we ate our mains inside in the Pavillion and then we were back outside by the pool for dessert and tea/coffee. We had an incredible feast. Every course we had was phenomenal. Our celebrations continued well into the early hours and ended with family and friends in the pool. We had a pizza and pool party on Day 3. The atmosphere, amazing setting and delicious food everyday contributed greatly to our wedding being everything we wanted and it was the staff that helped made it truly special. We were blown away by how friendly and accommodating the staff were and no ask was too much for them. There was always someone there to cater for everything and their attitude was amazing. They went out of their way to ensure all our needs and the needs of our guests were looked after. Marta at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. While out in the Pavillion and at the bar with Simone, who stayed late chatting to our guests every day.

One of the main reasons we chose to have our wedding at Castello di Montignano was the kindness and helpfulness of Beatrice (the ultimate wedding planner!) and Giuseppe (the owner of the castle). We met Beatrice, Giuseppe and the team at Castello di Montignano online in September 2020 and did a virtual tour of the venue. After meeting Beatrice and Giuseppe and seeing the stunning venue online we knew they’d be able to make our day so special and memorable. We didn't know it then but the journey to our wedding day would be much longer than we anticipated. A journey which was made much easier by the honest communication and enthusiasm of Beatrice and Giuseppe of Castello di Montignano who helped us greatly with the various suppliers. When Covid hit, we slowly realised that our wedding plans for Montignano in Italy would have to be put on hold. Beatrice and Giuseppe were available at all times to jump on Zoom calls to discuss alternative dates, the realities of the situation with Covid in Italy and provide us with updates. We eventually got to visit, in person, 6 weeks before our wedding in April 2022 to do the food and wine tasting and have a tour of the venue. It was an incredible couple of days together, a special experience getting to try the different food and drink options and really got the excitement building towards our wedding. We’re so grateful for everything they did, we’ll never forget our special wedding celebrations.

Grazie Mille Giuseppe, Beatrice, Mariana, Marta, Simone and all the Castello di Montignano team.

We can’t wait to come back and visit you!

If you are planning a wedding in Italy, we couldn’t recommend enough having your wedding at Castello di Montignano. 

We got married in August 2021 at Castello di Montignano and we recommend it without hesitation! We fell in love with this carefully renovated castle, the Umbrian landscapes around and above all the team who are really great! Whether it was during preparation or on D-Day, everything was perfect. Giuseppe, the owner, and Béatrice, the Castello wedding planner, Mariana and Mariuxi always have a smile and were able to advise us and coordinate the smallest details.

We had privatized the place for 3 days for our guests, who stayed at the castle (there are also many agriturismo and rentals around) and all were delighted. The place is really beautiful and the staff super attentive. We felt at home and had an amazing time; it was a great experience.
Beatrice and her team are used to organizing events, working with trusted providers and everything is very organized, so it's easy to plan your wedding even remotely (which we did)! We chose to do our ceremony and dinner outdoor, in the garden, and the rendering was magical!

I recommend without hesitation whether it is to organize a wedding or just to spend a few days there. You can enjoy the spa or dine in the restaurant to taste quality Italian cuisine!

We got married on August 2021 at Castello di Montignano, the place of our dreams. We recommend it without esitation because the location is wonderfull, a very jewels in the Umbria's landscape. But there are a lots of reasons to choose the Castello di Montignano: the food is delicious, a perfect mix of typical and sophisticated dish , and the owner and the staff are very professional and kind, always ready to help you and able to planning wonderful events.
We are from Umbria, so we are very lucky to have this dreamy place near our home, but we know that the Castello is appreciated by couple from all the countries, the staff speaks language very well (not like me!). Recommended!!

Abbiamo scelto questa magnifica location per il nostro matrimonio il 7 agosto 2021... dal primo incontro Beatrice ci ha fatto da subito sognare ad occhi aperti e immaginare quel giorno ... é stato tutto esattamente come avevamo immaginato e desiderato! Posto stupendo ... da favola ... e soprattutto organizzazione e personale eccellente sempre pronto a curare ogni dettaglio. Cibo buonissimo e piatti presentati molto bene .
Francesco e Eleonora

31.07.2021 è stato magico..
Ci scoppia il cuore dalla gioia e siamo ancora molto emozionati. Il castello, tutto lo staff, Beatrice,Mariuxi ci hanno fatto vivere un sogno. Il nostro matrimonio è stato esattamente come lo abbiamo sempre sognato, tutto era perfetto in ogni minimo dettaglio. Dal primo giorno che abbiamo scelto il Castello come location per il nostro matrimonio, lo staff non ci ha mai abbandonato. Hanno curato ogni minimo aspetto,con una professionalità e una semplicità da vendere. Ci siamo sentiti subito a nostro agio. Quando il giorno del matrimonio siamo attivati al Castello eravamo super agitati ed emozionati, sapevamo che tutto sarebbe stato perfetto e ad oggi posso dire che non potevamo fare scelta migliore. Quello che abbiamo provato non si può spiegare. Vi sceglieremmo altre mille volte.
Grazie perché ci avete reso felici!
Cecilia&Sheriffo

Ci siamo sposati al Castello nel 2020, un anno che ci ha costretto a posticipare la data inizialmente scelta e ad avere tanti interrogativi sulla riuscita o meno dell’evento. Lo staff del Castello ed in particolar modo la weedings manager Beatrice e il proprietario Giuseppe, hanno saputo aiutarci e supportarci in ogni decisione e scelta. Il risultato è stato un matrimonio stupendo al di sopra di ogni aspettativa. La location stupenda, l’organizzazione impeccabile, le decorazioni e i fiori, complimenti anche alla fioraia Marianna, esattamente come le abbiamo sempre immaginate. Hanno saputo cogliere esattamente i nostri gusti e le nostre esigenze. Tutti i nostri invitati sono rimasti incantanti dalla location e meravigliati dalla professionalità e straordinaria organizzazione, per non parlare della bontà del cibo e della spettacolarità della torta!
Consiglio vivamente questo posto perché a me e a mio marito hanno permesso di vivere la favola sempre sognata!

5 star wedding!! Oh yes, all deserved for the infinite availability, the exquisite cordiality of all the staff and for the generosity that Giuseppe, Beatrice and Mariana have shown us.
The location is simply wonderful, warm and welcoming as well as the staff we met and with whom we decided to celebrate.
It goes without saying that our every wish was fulfilled in the best possible way and that, despite the difficult period in which we decided to get married (we got married last August 2020, organizing the event during covid lock down), we did not have any problems in organizing.

Beatrice, our wedding manager, with her sweetness and cordiality, put us at ease and followed us from the very first days and throughout the preparation period, as well as during the wedding day: her punctuality and safety was the support we could count on in every moment of difficulty.

Giuseppe (the boss) is undoubtedly one of the most cordial and inclined managers to satisfy the requests of his customers we've ever met: not only did he meet us from all points of view without ever remaining on his own, but he contributed enormously to solve all those organizational, administrative and economic problems that may arise during the preparation of such an important event.

And then Mariana (our wedding flower designer) has outdone herself! The setting and floral decorations were exactly as we had imagined them: very fresh flowers, well distributed and rightly balanced, embellished even more an already wonderful day.

Finally (but only in order), we want to thank all the staff, from the chefs to the barmen to the restaurant managers: you were great in all the preparations you created for us!

An incredible venue for a wedding abroad. We brought 40 people from Ireland, but they can cater for much larger weddings too. It's not cheap, but it is superb value for money - we had 3 days of quality time with our closest family and friends - it was like a mini holiday! The days before and after the wedding mean you can have a BBQ/pizza party/pasta party, and relax with your guests. Beatrice is the wedding planner here, and she is the most organised, capable person - born for this job! No detail was forgotten, and she had everything under control at all times, I really never felt worried, despite the fact that we booked the venue without even visiting! The staff are exceptionally friendly and warm, and go above and beyond to make you feel at home at all times. Nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't change a thing, and can't recommend it enough to other Irish couples thinking of a destination wedding.

Where do I begin! CDM is such a special place.

Once we got engaged, it was a no brainer to get married in Italy, it was always a dream for both of us. When searching for venues we stumbled across a “friend of a friends” wedding on Instagram and were blown away by the secludedness and relaxed atmosphere of the venue. This was exactly what we were looking for – a hidden gem in the rolling hills of lesser known Umbria, perfect for an Irish party!

We contacted CDM in October 2018, and despite still being very busy with weddings Beatrice was very accommodating and patient – as you can imagine we had so many questions, and scheduled several calls with her over the course of October and November before making a final decision on dates etc. Beatrice is a breath of fresh air, very friendly, creative, extremely organized, and most importantly she listens to exactly what you would like to achieve. Needless to say, straight away we knew we wanted to work with her as our wedding planner at CDM.

We are both from Ireland but living in Dubai, and wanted to organize a wedding for a hundred guests in Italy. Organising a wedding abroad can be quite stressful, but Beatrice eased all of our fears and there was honestly never a moment she wasn’t on top of it all from start to finish!

We visited the venue for the first time in December and loved the location, only an hour and half from Rome, it really is set in the heart of the Umbrian countryside, it is very quiet, secluded and so picturesque. It was great to meet both Beatrice and Giuseppe in person and discuss it in detail. Giuseppe’s love for excel really streamlines the process!

Meeting Giuseppe was insightful, it helped us understand the history of his home that has been in the family for generations. For him it is important for people to feel at home in the relaxed luxury of CDM, and as far as we can see he has definitely achieved that.

When we visited in April to do the menu tasting we met Orlando the chef and his sous chef Daniel who came to talk us through the menu. As with everything in CDM it was such a personal touch. Marco and Simone who manage the bar and restaurant even remembered us from our December trip and were so friendly and helpful in choosing the wines.

We wished to have a church wedding so Beatrice also put us in touch with a ‘document manager’ called Isabella who was wonderful and incredibly helpful. She even drove from Assisi to meet us in CDM in April. Isabella assisted with sourcing an English-speaking priest, and guided us through all of the religious and legal paperwork involved in a Catholic wedding ceremony in Italy. We would still be wading through paperwork and translations if it wasn’t for her!

We got married at the end of August, and can honestly say we had the best few days of our lives. It is even more beautiful in the sun. We rented the castle for three nights and filled it to the brim with family and friends. The refurbishment of the castle is really quite unique and elegantly done. The rooms are all beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We also rented the apartments attached to the castle which are quite convenient for families with children. Renting the entire venue was great because there were no restrictions.

When we checked in everyone headed down to the pool for lunch and a swim. Following the church rehearsal the night before the wedding we organized a welcome night for all the guests in the Horthus maze garden behind the castle with food and drinks. This was a great evening and really set the tone.

The wedding day itself ran very smoothly, we were lucky to avoid rain in the distance but Beatrice was all over it with plan B in the event it did affect us. The fireplace room is really spacious for all the bridal party to get ready. Mariana really did an amazing job on the flowers. We were so glad she did all the decorations from the church, to table arrangements to the cake decoration. The outdoor dinner with fairy lights looked spectacular. I would highly recommend her. Our guests are still raving about the dinner, Orlando and Daniel did a wonderful job there was so much amazing food! Cutting the cake outside with sparklers per Beatrice’s last minute song suggestion of ‘Amore’ was actually one of our favourite moments.

We cannot speak highly enough of the band either. They were recommended by Beatrice and frequently play at CDM. They also performed music in the church. They were so professional and fun, and Gabriel was a pleasure to deal with. We partied hard until the early hours while Beatrice and her team managed the buses to transport everyone home safely that wasn’t staying at the venue.

On day two we had a Pizza Pool Party with a Sax player and DJ. This was great fun, and the perfect way to chill, relax and enjoy the best of CDM… We didn’t want it to end!
All of our guests had an incredible time, they are still thanking us and were overwhelmed by the hospitality they received at our wedding, but the thanks is truly deserved by the Team at CDM. 4 months on and our guests still remember all the staff by name, and I think that is testament to the incredible job they do in CDM.

A massive thank you to Beatrice, Giuseppe, Isabella, Marco, Simone, Orlando and Daniel and all the Team for the most amazing memories and few days that we will never forget. It really is the castle of love.

You really need to visit it to experience how special it is.

We had first visited the Castello five years ago, in Autumn October. We knew from the moment we laid our eyes on the venue, it was the one. The venue has captivating views and beautiful settings, which matched our vision for a summer wedding.

Fast-forward five years, and here we both are married and over the moon with our experience at the Castello. We are based in London and decided to have an intimate destination wedding, which had its challenges but with the help of Beatrice and Selena, the process was made simple.

We had the venue exclusively for two days. Our guests were able to have free access to all amenities provided by the venue. Which really set the tone for our wedding.

We had a pre-party before our wedding, where guests were treated to fantastic food provided by the castle and an abundance of wine and Prosecco, it really was magical.

The day of the wedding was such a whirlwind of excitement and emotion and Beatrice did a fantastic job of keeping us to time and moving things along when needed.

The team at the Castle is fantastic! From the chef to the waiters, to Selena and Beatrice. Let's not forget our barmen, the night before who made the famous cocktail named the Marco. Everyone still talks about the Marco cocktail to this day. It was fantastic!

Highlights of the wedding were:
The location
The setting
The Staff
Food.
Wedding cake

The Castello did a fantastic job of meeting our dietary requirements, which consisted of a lot of vegan eaters and non-pork eaters. Everyone loved the food and were well fed. The food corners were superb and really added that special something to our day.

Also our last minute order of a wedding cake two weeks before the wedding which, was beautiful, and everything I wanted and more. They were very flexible when it came to last-minute changes and also managed my expectations very well.

Overall the experience, the venue, and the staff were fantastic. We cannot praise them enough. If you are looking at this place as a potential wedding destination don’t hesitate to book. I stayed in numerous castles through my time in Umbria and none matched this.

It truly was a fairy tale come true.

Our wedding was incredible!! The staff looked after us from start to finish and we were there for 6 days. Can’t recommend them enough. If you want the full works for a destination wedding and want to have the most beautiful and romantic wedding then this is the venue. All my guests are already looking forward to a reunion next year!! :D

Il 21 giugno abbiamo scelto il Castello di Montignano come location per il nostro Matrimonio e che dire? un posto davvero incantevole: nel fascino dei paesaggi delle colline umbre abbiamo trascorso questo giorno così importante per noi in un angolo di paradiso.

Grazie di ??a voi :Giuseppe, Beatrice, Marco , Simone , Mariana e tutto lo staff per aver reso unico il week end del nostro matrimonio . In attesa di essere di nuovo vostri ospiti per un altra indimenticabile occasione
Con affetto
Massimo e Roberta.?

We had an amazing time at our wedding. The service was very good and they listened carefully to what we wanted. The wedding service was very professional and we enjoyed every minute of it.

We just had our wedding at the Castello and it was an absolute dream! The venue is stunning, the food amazing & the thing that really makes this place so great is the staff. They couldn’t do enough for us and it made our wedding day what it was - a special thank you to our planner Beatrice who did the most amazing job! So many of our guests have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to.

We are so sad that it is over but cannot thank you enough for making our day so so amazing - there are no words to say how truly great it was!

If we could give 100 stars we would!

Love Patrick & Laura x

Castello di Montignano is a picturesque and magical place. We held our three day wedding at the venue in May and it was the best three days of our lives. We first visited the castle on the recommendation of a friend in February 2018. We fell in love with this magnificent venue and village immediately (despite the fact that we brought the Irish weather with us). The venue itself is idyllic surrounded by rolling Umbrian hills. The Castello has been restored impeccably by Giuseppe and our guests were in awe at the castle. It really and truly is a special place.

Planning a wedding abroad can be stressful and emotionally draining but not if you have Beatrice, Selena and the team guiding you every step of the way. A very special mention must go to Beatrice, she is incredible and made everything so straight forward and easy. From the moment we met Beatrice we knew we were in safe hands. There was never any wish that was ever too great nor any request that couldn’t be accomodated. Beatrice has recommended supplier lists for all your wedding needs. For music, we chose Gabriel Canelles and his band, The Blenders. Gabriel coordinated all the music for our wedding day. He is fantastic and he and his band (including the blowing section) we’re brilliant. Seeing as we are big fans of The Killers, they even went out of their way to learn Mr. Brightside which was a brilliant surprise. We picked Andrea Dambrosia and his team as our photographer and videographer and we are delighted with the photos and video. The guys captured every moment and we love how natural our pictures turned out. We definitely would recommend getting the drone, the aerial shots are magnificent! Mariana and her decorative team brought all of my wife’s ideas to life. Mariana is super, she offers creative ideas and recommendations and we were so happy to let her and Beatrice to get creative and run with the decorations. The result far exceeded our expectations. The flowers, the table settings and centre pieces were magnificent. The hanging candles and flowers of the top table were magical.

The food prepared by chef, Orlando, is divine and he prepared what can only be described as a true Umbrian feast for us over the three days. My wife is gluten intolerant which in most circumstances can be restrictive, but Orlando was completely understanding and sympathetic as his family members also are coeliac. Orlando produced a gluten free menu from scratch for my wife ensuring that she enjoyed a true Italian meal. It really made her day.

The one thing that truly makes Castello di Montignano special is the people. Every member of staff makes you feel at home and treats you like a king and queen. Marco and Simone must get a special mention, they were the last men standing looking after guests at the end of the night and the first ones there in the morning, always lending a helping hand. Beatrice and Guiseppi we can’t thank you enough for everything you did for us over the 16 months lead into our wedding.

We couldn’t recommend Castello di Montignano more. The food is exceptional, the floristry team are fantastic and the staff treat you like family. Thank you to Beatrice in particular for creating such a special experience for us and our guests. Choosing Castello di Montignano for our wedding venue was the best decision we’ve ever made and we would love to do it all over again!

We had the most magical fairytale wedding at the castle. The castle, the staff, the setting, the service - everything was perfect. Utterly incredible. Giuseppe, Beatrice and the team created the weekend of our dreams. Nothing was too much trouble, everything worked like clockwork and all our guests said it was the best wedding they had every been to. Just a huge thank you!

We got married at the Castello on 1st September and simply had a magical time.

The venue itself is stunning – a beautifully renovated building in a stunning location overlooking the Italian valleys. It is set in lovely hamlet of buildings – some lived in by local residents – and was a beautifully rustic location for us to hold our civil ceremony. The rooms in the Castello were also lovely, and the spa was a real bonus.

One of the key reasons we picked this venue was the fantastic glass pavilion that meant our ‘plan B’ for dinner felt as if you were outside (rather than inside a dark stone building, which was the plan B for all the other venues we saw). In the end, due to a windy day we used the plan B for our reception and it worked perfectly.

The staff at the Castello are amazing – Beatrice is incredibly good at her job as wedding manager – and although at times it took her a little while to respond due to the number of events she works on, we were always comfortable knowing she was on top of everything and on the day we didn’t spend a single moment thinking about logistics. The rest of the staff (apart from 1 quite rude receptionist) were all brilliant too, and made us and our guests feel like VIPs.Their English was also great.

Finally, the food and wine were absolutely amazing, with many of our guests saying it was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. A particular highlight was the outside aperitivo (we chose meats and cheeses) and the gelato after the dinner.

A stunning venue which meant we really did have the most magical wedding.

From the moment we first saw pictures of the Castello di Montignano online, we knew we wanted to celebrate our wedding there. We visited the castle in winter and fell under its charm straight away.
One week ago we went back for our big day and we were blown away by the sheer beauty of the landscape in the summer and by how amazing the castle looked, adorned with the floral decorations.
Our heartfelt thanks go to, first and foremost, Beatrice, our incredible wedding planner, for the attention to detail and dedication she put into organizing our incredible event. We would also like to thank: Irene and Cristina, the make up artists at Acquadegna, for the fantastic job they did for the bride and her girls; Chiara at the reception for her good humour and assistance; the amazing Chef for his wonderful menu and for being able to accommodate the special requests of some of our guests; the florists who did an incredible job on the floral decorations, and finally Giuseppe and all the staff at the castle for being wonderful.
It has been an amazing experience we will never forget and we look forward to visiting the castle many times more in the future.

Myself and my husband got married in the Castello in August this year and I could not recommend it more. We first visited the Castello in January 2017 after it had been recommended to us as a venue. We loved our stay and after viewing a few other places decided to go with the castle. What we liked about the venue was that everything happens in the one location. The church is on site or if you want a civil ceremony they do that too, then you just walk around the corner for the drinks reception and meal. Beatrice and Giuseppe were really welcoming, professional but also seemed really fun.

We went back to the Castello in March for our menu tasting, the food and wine was delicious and the chefs were so accommodating. They cater for vegan, vegetarian and any allergies, all of the food both at the tasting and on the wedding day was delicious. Unfortunately the pool park was closed for renovations at that time but we had seen lots of pictures and videos on their website

During the planning process Beatrice was amazing, she must cater for so many couples but always got back to us within a couple of days and nothing was a problem. My godmother did the flowers for us in the church and the bouquets so we just wanted to order the flowers, this was not a problem. They were really flexible whenever we wanted to change. Ramona did a brilliant job with the fans for the church, seating lists and table names and the cake that the team put together was exactly what we wanted.

We stayed in the Castello from the Tuesday before the wedding (which was on a Friday), Beatrice organised a bus transfer for our wine tour (Roccafiore wines), she booked a restaurant for us and our guests in Todi one evening and we had a dinner in the Hortcus garden at the Castle the night before the wedding which was delicious.

On the wedding day Beatrice and her team managed everything perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. She organised transfers to collect and drop all our guests back, which isn’t an easy feat with 120 Irish. The bar staff on the wedding and day two were amazing, so much fun and laid back while also providing excellent service.

We had a pizza and pool party for our day two. The food was delicious and there was so much of it.

When planning the wedding some of the costs can seem expensive but we felt we got such brilliant value for money, with more food than we could eat, lots of gorgeous wine and so much fun. We would do it again in a heartbeat and can’t wait to go back to visit.
