WEDDINGS in UMBRIA at La Preghiera
If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary for your wedding day, why not consider La Preghiera, a romantic, luxurious private villa in the heart of Umbria, Italy.
Set in beautiful landscaped gardens with its own private chapel, the La Preghiera estate makes a perfect and intimate setting for your wedding ceremony in Italy, and afterwards a reception "alfresco" with delicious Italian cuisine...
"Romantic, luxurious, breathtaking, spell binding, magical, intimate, exclusive, personal, tears and laughter", are just some of the words that come to mind when thinking of the special weddings that have taken place at La Preghiera says Liliana Tunstill, owner of La Preghiera and wedding co-ordinator.
You can have a dream wedding at La Preghiera, a luxury 12th Century converted monastery, in Umbria, Italy. Guests at this exclusive retreat have a choice of wedding ceremony styles. A beautiful, candle-lit legal religious ceremony or blessing can be held in the private chapel, which is multi-denominational, and accommodates up to sixty-five guests or more if some are standing. Alternatively, couples can marry in a civil ceremony in one of the ancient town halls nearby for a wedding steeped in history. An in-house wedding planning service is offered to help you organise every detail of your special day.
Our Wedding in Italy.
Of all the weddings that Ive ever attended in locations and venues throughout the world, our wedding reception in Umbria, Italy must fall easily at the peak of the top 50, or the 50 best, overall inspirational ceremonies with the relaxed, elegant and stress-free accommodation in the La Preghiera Estate on the border of Umbria and Tuscany. The no-stress planners and the wedding planning were sophisticated, fantastic, friendly and family oriented.
Our wedding dinner was fashionable Umbrian cuisine served in the magnificent gardens, which created the romantic dream setting, with the bride and groom and the bridesmaids on the top table. The wedding cake was an unbelievable concoction, and this month we can all diet!
For matrimony in style or for a signature or destination marriage, in Anglican, Protestant, Catholic or other beliefs, or for gay blessings, or re-affirmations of vows, or simple joinings of partnership. Umbria, Italy has to be THE place to be.
And for a last minute or late Italian honeymoon, after your wedding, perhaps in Umbria or even Tuscany, this venue and accommodation with its friendly staff, in the midst of the Umbrian countryside, with ten medieval cities/towns to explore, two huge lakes and more than forty restaurants within a 20-minute drive was ideal, as our families and friends found to their joy when attending our wedding at La Preghiera.
Thank you all for making their, and our, wedding day, and week, in Italy one of the happiest that I can remember and congratulations again on the first-class accommodation, the intimate and unobtrusive atmosphere and staff, the location, the ceremony, the planner and co-ordinator, the receptions, the family blessing, the peace, the pool, the shade, the terraces and, and, and
