The Aristocratic Villa Durazzo Wedding

Descrizione

There is a reason the Genoese aristocracy built here. Villa Durazzo stands on its hill between the old town of Santa Margherita Ligure and the sea, wrapped in Italian gardens of palms, camellias and gravel paths that seem designed for a bridal procession. Your wedding takes the villa in exclusive use: the symbolic ceremony among the gardens or on the panoramic terrace, the welcome cocktail as the light gilds the Gulf of Tigullio, then the wedding lunch or dinner in the villa’s frescoed halls or under the open sky. Wedding cake, open bar and a DJ set turn the gardens into your private ballroom after dark. Every image is captured by a professional photographer and videomaker with full post-production, and every moving part — florists, kitchen, musicians, timings — is conducted by your dedicated wedding planner with the Kiss Me Italy Concierge attending to you and your guests from first arrival to last farewell. An aristocratic wedding in the truest sense: a noble house, its gardens, and a day that belongs entirely to your family’s story.

The Venue: Villa Durazzo

Built in the 17th century for the marquises Durazzo, the villa dominates Santa Margherita Ligure from a park of century-old palms and Mediterranean gardens, five minutes from the harbour and ten from Portofino. Frescoed salons, Murano chandeliers and marble staircases give the interiors their aristocratic voice, while the Italian garden and panoramic terrace open onto the full sweep of the Gulf of Tigullio — ceremony outdoors, reception indoors or under the stars, with an elegant weather plan always built in. Exclusive use means the villa, the gardens and the view answer to your wedding alone.
