Wedding inspiration: dreams of love at Villa Maya
Planning a wedding in Tuscany is the dream of many couples around the world. Villa Maya has become a sought-after destination for those seeking a refined “destination wedding”: immersed in a centuries-old park of 25,000 m² with pool and a small consecrated church, it offers everything needed to experience a perfect day. The indoor ceremony hall, with its brick vaults and elegant draperies, accommodates up to 170 seated guests.
Real stories: love knows no borders
- Emma and Michael, London “We wanted to get married in a place that combined intimacy and beauty. As soon as we saw the cypress-lined avenue and Villa Maya’s pool, we knew it was the right place,” Emma recounts. The couple chose to celebrate the civil ceremony directly in the park’s small church surrounded by white and green flowers. After the ceremony, guests toasted in the garden with an aperitif of Tuscan sparkling wine and finger food by Chef Susy. Dinner took place in the hall with brick vaults, set up with a long imperial table decorated with candles and foliage. “Villa Maya’s team took care of every detail, from the mise en place to the music. It was a dream,” adds Michael.
- Ana and João, Lisbon For their wedding, Ana and João desired an immersive experience in the Tuscan countryside. They opted for a weekend celebration: the evening before the wedding they organized a dinner in a vineyard with local wine tasting; on the wedding day, a symbolic ceremony poolside with sunset views. “Villa Maya offered us the possibility to personalize everything: from the menu with revisited traditional dishes, to the floral arrangements with olive trees and lavender, to live music during the cake cutting. Our friends and family were enchanted.”
Style ideas for a luxury wedding
- Natural color palette – Shades of sage green, ivory and gold harmonize with the park and villa. The use of fine fabrics and vintage candelabras creates a romantic atmosphere.
- Imperial table and personalized mise en place – For refined dinners, a single table setting with porcelain, crystal and hand-calligraphed place cards.
- Outdoor ceremony – Take advantage of the lawn next to the pool to exchange vows with a flower arch, wooden seating and a carpet of petals.
- Guest experiences – Oil and wine tastings, Vespa tours through the hills, mini cooking classes with the chef; foreign couples love to give their guests a taste of authentic Tuscany.
- Fireworks and live music – Concluding the evening with a fireworks display or Italian jazz performance makes the wedding unforgettable.
