Food & Drink

The selected menu embraced the essence of Italian cuisine, featuring multiple courses as a tribute to Tuscany. The inclusion of Chianti wine added a touch of authenticity, transforming the dining experience into a poetic celebration of the genuine Tuscan dolce vita.

Florals & Decor

Ceremony: Their luxury celebration unfolded amidst the enchanting Italian Renaissance gardens of Villa Corsini in Mezzomonte, where meticulously manicured hedges framed breathtaking vistas of rolling hills adorned with vineyards. Ethereal white flowers and lush greenery were chosen to accentuate the understated elegance of the luxurious villa garden. The decorations, akin to a flowing ribbon, framed the magnificent view of the Chianti Classico hills. Dinner: In a departure from tradition, Ariella and Matthew chose to forgo the customary floral embellishments, opting instead to bathe their two long dining tables in the warm, mesmerizing glow of a thousand candles. This decision allowed the room to come alive with a soft, intimate luminosity, allowing the Tuscan hills outside to paint a breathtaking panorama through the gallery's windows. In that moment, their vision and dream materialized into a reality as exquisite as the love they shared.

Wedding Cake

Underneath the starlit sky in the garden, a grand and round mille-feuille cake, adorned with luscious red strawberries, took center stage. Following this sweet moment, a mesmerizing fireworks display painted the night sky. The villa itself seemed enchanted by the aura of a profound love story.

Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs

The vibrant tunes of the award-winning Aston band, a global ensemble of sonic artists, set the stage for an unforgettable party, infusing the atmosphere with infectious energy throughout the celebration.

Special Detail #1

Our Favorite Moment - The sight of walking into the dining gallery, all of our friends and family standing up smiling and cheering was the best moment of our lives. The gallery has Italian frescos covering the walls and ceilings, and we opted to skip flowers and instead decorate our two long dining tables with 1,000 candles to let the room and view of the Tuscan hills shine. It truly was our vision and dream to come to life.
