Will My Wedding Feel Personal… or Like Just Another Date on the Calendar?
When planning a destination wedding in Italy, one of the biggest fears couples express is this:
“What if it ends up feeling impersonal—like we’re just another couple slotted into a venue’s busy calendar?”
We get it.
You’re flying across the world. Your friends and family are taking time off and booking flights. You’ve been dreaming of this moment, not just the party but the feeling. The warmth, the joy, the connection.
At Castello di Ristonchi, we’ve hosted hundreds of weddings but we’ve never hosted the same one twice. Here’s why.
💗 You’re Not Just a Booking. You’re a Story We Want to Help Tell.
We don’t treat couples like clients we treat them like collaborators. You bring the heart, the history, and the personal touches. We want to know about you, your story, why you want to get married in Italy and what’s important to you. We bring the structure, experience, and soul of a team who genuinely loves doing this work.
From the moment you book, you’ll be working with someone who knows you, your guest list quirks, your ceremony ideas, and even what gelato flavors you picked!
🕊️ No Back-to-Back Chaos
We’re not a mega venue that squeezes in weddings every day of the week. We only host a limited number of weddings per week, and get more exclusive each year.
Your guests won’t be arriving as another group is checking out. We make sure to have everything completely reset just for you and your guests. There won’t be “wedding turnover energy.” It’s just you, your people, and the space to slow down and be present.
Personalization Without the Pressure
Not every couple wants to handpick every flower or menu item. That’s why we give you a solid, beautiful foundation to work from so you don’t get overwhelmed with endless decisions.
You can customize as much or as little as you want:
Write your own vows? Yes.
Choose a themed dinner attire or add a specialty cocktail? Absolutely.
Bring your own place cards, signage, or playlist? 100%.
We’ll guide you through each step, and support your creative ideas while also making sure you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Your Guests Will Feel It, Too
When a wedding feels impersonal, your guests feel it. But when it’s intimate, intentional, and deeply you, that energy is contagious.
At Ristonchi, your guests don’t feel like they’re attending a party they feel like they’re part of something meaningful. From the pizza night welcome to the farewell brunch, it’s a full-body experience filled with connection, unexpected joy and memories that will last lifetimes.
This Is Why We Do What We Do
We created this space to be more than a venue. We wanted it to feel like a gathering place for love, not just for couples, but for families, friends, and communities to connect and celebrate in a way that feels human, heartfelt, and unforgettable.
