Getting married in Italy
Your wedding in Italy, planned from start to finish
Your wedding doesn’t start with the ceremony. At Casa Torre in Le Marche, you share an entire wedding weekend with your guests, immersed in Italian life. We take care of everything around it, from the first plans to bringing it all together on site.
Request the brochureMore than just a beautiful venue
Le Marche has been a familiar place to Femke since childhood, and Inez now returns with great pleasure every year too. Because we keep coming back, we know more than just the beautiful places. We know the people behind the restaurants, wineries and local produce. Many of them have lived here all their lives and take great pride in their beautiful region and its traditions. So, when planning your wedding weekend, we don’t have to start with a list of unfamiliar suppliers. We work with people and places we know and trust personally, bringing the true character of Le Marche into your weekend.
Casa Torre & Ripatransone
Casa Torre is located just outside Ripatransone, offering plenty of peace and privacy while keeping the village and coast close by. The estate is home to Casa Torre and Casa Panoramica, surrounded by its own vineyard, olive and fruit trees, a spacious garden and a swimming pool. From the terraces and pool, you can look out towards the sea. During your wedding weekend, the entire estate is reserved exclusively for you and your guests. From Casa Torre, you can walk up the hill to Ripatransone. Here, you can enjoy a cappuccino among the locals, pick up fresh bread from the bakery or visit the small Saturday market. The Adriatic coast is around a fifteen-minute drive away, offering both lively beach clubs and quieter beaches.
Getting married in Italy with FIKA
No fixed format
Casa Torre provides the setting, but the wedding weekend is yours. We shape each day around you and your guests, without a standard itinerary or predetermined choices.
Local knowledge
We know Le Marche, Casa Torre and the people we work with here personally. This allows us to carefully select trusted local suppliers and communicate with them quickly and directly.
Dutch planning, Italian execution
We translate your wishes for our local suppliers and make sure every agreement is clearly documented and fulfilled. This brings Dutch clarity together with the knowledge and hospitality of Le Marche.
One point of contact
You won’t need to coordinate with the venue and multiple suppliers yourselves. We manage the communication, oversee the schedule and budget, and are there throughout the entire wedding weekend.
Your weekend at a glance
Saturday forms the heart of the wedding weekend. The days surrounding it leave plenty of time to enjoy everything the area has to offer with your guests.
Thursday
The couple arrives
For you as a couple, the stay begins on Thursday. This gives you time to settle in, familiarise yourselves with the venue and go through the final preparations with FIKA.
Friday
Guests arrive
Your guests arrive at Casa Torre on Friday, marking the true start of the weekend. You decide how to shape this first day. This could include a group activity, an aperitivo or an informal dinner to welcome everyone.
Saturday
The wedding day
Saturday forms the heart of the wedding weekend. After breakfast together, the preparations, ceremony, drinks reception and Italian dinner follow. FIKA oversees the schedule, coordinates the team and suppliers, and ensures that each part of the day flows smoothly into the next. The overall structure of the day is set, but the personal touches are entirely up to you. You choose the atmosphere, flowers, colours and other details; we translate your wishes into clear plans for the right suppliers and make sure everything is arranged.
Sunday
Enjoying the day after
Sunday begins at a relaxed pace with breakfast together. Afterwards, there is plenty of time to enjoy the day with your guests and look back on the wedding. How you spend the rest of the day is entirely up to you. You might relax by the pool, enjoy a long lunch, visit a local winery or spend the afternoon by the sea.
Monday
The last morning together
On Monday morning, you say goodbye to your guests and bring the weekend to a close. This could be over a final breakfast or coffee, or the morning can remain relaxed without a set programme. Once everyone has left, you have Casa Torre to yourselves for one more day to take it all in together.
Saturday at the heart of the weekend
Saturday forms the centrepiece of your wedding weekend at Casa Torre. After breakfast together, there is plenty of time to get ready while we prepare the venue and welcome the remaining guests. The ceremony then takes place in a setting we choose together and shape to suit the atmosphere of the day. After the ceremony, you celebrate with drinks and an aperitivo. A local Italian caterer then serves a dinner featuring antipasti, primi, secondi and dolce. Drinks and wines from the region are served throughout the day. The foundation of Saturday is set, but we make the details personal to you. Together, we decide where each part of the day will take place, how the setting will look and which details suit you best. FIKA oversees the schedule, coordinates the team and suppliers, and ensures the entire day runs smoothly.
Make the weekend yours
A wedding weekend at Casa Torre is about more than the wedding day itself. The surrounding days offer plenty of opportunities to create additional moments with your guests. There are many possibilities, and we are always happy to help shape a weekend that feels right for you. Below, we share a few ideas for inspiration.
Dining together
From an informal pizza night to an elaborate welcome dinner or a long brunch, there are many ways to gather around the table. Together, we choose a setting and location that suit your guests, schedule and budget.
Along the sea
The coast is around a fifteen-minute drive from Casa Torre. Think dinner with your feet in the sand, fresh fish and excellent local wine, or a relaxed afternoon at a beach club with cocktails and music. A long lunch or aperitivo overlooking the sea could also become part of the weekend.
A taste of Le Marche
The hills of Le Marche are home to beautiful wineries where you and your guests can taste the region’s local wines. Prefer something more hands-on? We can also arrange an Italian cooking workshop using ingredients from the area.
Time to unwind
Not every moment needs to be planned. Make time for a slow morning, a yoga session with a local instructor, brunch or a relaxed afternoon by the pool at Casa Torre.
