Weddings and banquets





We can accommodate and arrange wedding ceremonies and banquets for up to 60 guests inside the veranda area or on the lawn. See one sample menu below. Our chefs can offer many other choices, which we can discuss with you.
We can arrange music, flowers, a photographer, a hairdresser etc. and we have a colleague in Rome who specialises in the paperwork for church or civil weddings in the city.




We do have our own chapel at the Roman Villa and we can arrange for you to use it. However the Roman Catholic church requires that formal church marriages take place in one of its own churches, usually in the centre of Rome.

Choices are also available to suit vegetarians and people with food intolerances.
