Ian and Lacey tapped Francesco and Sveva Contursi from Ottone Weddings to be their eyes and ears on the ground, and to help bring their vision of the perfect Italian wedding to life. The 3-day affair began with a white party at Masseria Salamina where the couple arrived in a 1958 Lancia convertible. Soon after the party moved to the courtyard where guests danced for hours to a local quartet. The next day the couples 135 guests were treated to handmade cocktails, cold local beer, fresh sushi, and pasta l’assassina at Cala Maka and urged to dip into the Adriatic. To cap off a magical week, Ian and Lacey hosted their ceremony and wedding party at Masseria San Nicola, making sure to use every corner of the property to its full potential. Valeria Miccolis married the couple in the Masseria’s olive grove before guests were treated to an antipasti feast complete with a three piece band. The main gates to the grand courtyard were then opened just as the sun began to set.
