George & Nicky

As we brainstormed with this couple, one word kept popping up: UNCONVENTIONAL.

Nicky & George weren’t looking for a traditional wedding reception, they wanted something authentically “Tuscan”, informal but stylish. They both were keen on beautiful architecture and interior design.

We found for them the perfect venue, a hamlet nestled on the Val d’Orcia hills, in the most beautiful part of southern Tuscany. The hamlet is a working farm and looks a rural village, with a few houses, a villa, a tiny church and a narrow alley that runs through it. The compelling idea was to organize a long table with over 100 guests along this alley to convey the rustic atmosphere of a Tuscan village feast.

We had to work hard to find a caterer who would be available to take on the challenge since the width of the street was barely enough to hold a table and the chairs but left almost no space for the waiters to serve dinner. This required a very detailed map and lots of measurements but our fantastic caterer was, like us, committed to making Nicky and George’s dream come true. To this day, we still have no idea how the waiters were able to serve dinner …but they did. And with no spillage!

The visual effect for magnificent, and the wedding a total success. Everybody has an amazing time, dancing the night away under the stars.
