The Details

Food & Drink

The bride and groom selected Guidi Lenci, a renowned and historic Florentine catering company, to create a memorable dining experience for their wedding. The menu featured authentic Tuscan flavors, including classic pici pasta with cacio e pepe sauce, topped with freshly shaved truffles. Guests were also treated to pear and pecorino ravioli, inspired by the couple’s favorite Florentine restaurant, Trattoria 4 Leoni, nestled in Piazza della Passera. For the main course, a tender beef filet paired with a rich Brunello wine reduction delighted the attendees. Hayden and Robert’s love for Tuscany was evident in their choice of wine. During a visit to the region to explore venues, they fell in love with the scenic beauty and exceptional wines of the Conte Costanti winery. It was only fitting that they selected Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino to perfectly complement their meal. The celebration continued with an incredible cocktail hour and afterparty hosted by Guidi Lenci. Guests enjoyed an open bar featuring creative drinks, including Aperol Spritz cocktails served with a dramatic touch of dry ice.
