Best venues for your wedding day

By the Editorial Staff

From intimate restaurant settings to grand private villas and hotels made for a seamless honeymoon, we’ve curated the finest venues for every style of celebration, so every moment of your wedding journey feels effortless, elevated, and unforgettable.

Set between Florence and Siena, just a short 42-kilometer drive from Florence Airport, Vignamaggio offers an effortless gateway into the heart of the Chianti countryside. Surrounded by rolling vineyards, olive groves, and postcard-perfect hill towns, the estate feels both accessible and wonderfully removed , a place where time slows and Tuscany reveals itself at its most poetic.

Spanning more than 400 hectares of gardens, forests, and cultivated land between Greve and Panzano in Chianti, Vignamaggio is far more than a destination; it is a living landscape shaped by centuries of history. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is unmistakable, layered, romantic, and deeply rooted in the land that surrounds it.

Once left untouched for decades, Il Borgo di Vignamaggio has undergone a thoughtful and sensitive restoration, bringing new life to an estate that has long played host to artists, intellectuals, nobility, and unforgettable celebrations. Today, it continues this legacy, offering a refined yet welcoming setting designed for meaningful gatherings and elegant events.

At the heart of the transformation was a seven-year restoration project with a clear vision: to create an idyllic place for celebration. Guests approach the Borgo along a dramatic avenue lined with cypress trees, framed by vineyards and olive groves, a cinematic entrance that sets the tone before a single door is opened.

Inside, tradition and modernity exist in perfect harmony. The creative team behind Vignamaggio collaborated closely with master Tuscan artisans to craft interiors that feel timeless yet fresh. Clean architectural lines meet warm textures, natural materials, and carefully considered details, while the scent of cypress subtly connects each space to the surrounding landscape.

Every room carries its own character, shaped by a rich palette of earthy tones and bespoke design elements. Furnishings are custom-designed by the estate’s architects and brought to life by local carpenters, upholsterers, and artisans, alongside renowned names in Italian design such as Viabizzuno, Davide Groppi, Fornace Brioni, and Baxter. Nothing is accidenta, each piece contributes to a cohesive atmosphere of quiet luxury, authenticity, and comfort.

Vignamaggio today stands as a celebration of Tuscan heritage reimagined for modern life, a place where history, craftsmanship, and contemporary elegance come together seamlessly, creating a setting that feels both storied and beautifully alive.

Standing proudly on the legendary Place de la Concorde, Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel is one of Paris’s most enduring symbols of elegance and cultural heritage. Designed by renowned architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the hotel’s stately façade has witnessed centuries of history unfold in one of the city’s most iconic locations.

Originally commissioned by King Louis XV, the building later became the private residence of the Count de Crillon and his family before being reimagined as a luxury hotel in 1909 under the direction of architect Walter-André Destailleur. Over time, Hôtel de Crillon has welcomed an extraordinary constellation of guests, from artists and world leaders to royalty, each drawn by its rare combination of grandeur, discretion, and timeless prestige.

More than a hotel, Hôtel de Crillon is a living expression of Paris itself, where heritage meets modern sophistication, and every detail reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship, beauty, and the art of living well.
