EVENT DETAILS -
We can't wait to celebrate with you!
We will be legally marrying ourselves in a private ceremony at home. Then, to celebrate, we'd like to host you for a week-long stay in Tuscany.
​
Our party will have full use of Villa delle Sophore near Cortona from September 15-21, 2024. The ceremony and celebratory dinner will take place at the villa on September 18. Wedding events start at 5 o'clock.
​
We will also have fun, optional activities planned throughout the week, from yoga classes to excursions. A daily brunch will also be provided for our guests, as well as a farewell farm visit with lunch.
​
Please don't hesitate to reach out with travel questions - we can't wait to see you at the villa!
LOCATION -
We'll be staying at Villa delle Sophore, a scenic countryside villa near historic Cortona.

​
The eighteenth-century home has a rich history - it stands on what was once the border between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Papal States, and a smuggling area. Notable historic features include frescoes, painted vaults, a majestic, traditional entrance hall, and an array of authentic antique decor. In fact, all furnishings are the result of careful research by the owners, and the basement workshop holds hundreds of pieces of antique decor currently undergoing restoration.
The grounds also boast sprawling greenery and a pool, so don't forget your swimsuit!
