Our story
Two strangers in a sea of summer, both reaching for the same shade under the same olive tree. Eleven years later we're planting our whole life in the Tuscan hills, and we'd be honoured to have you there when we do.

Dress code
It's a garden wedding in high summer — dress for warm afternoons and cool evenings, and for grass underfoot.
Daytime and the welcome drinks — linen, summer dresses and loafers. Leave the stilettos at home; the lawns are soft and the cobbles are old.
For the evening reception we'd love you in your finest — tuxedos, floor-length gowns and a little Tuscan glamour under the lights.
Not sure between the two? Classic formalwear in soft, garden-friendly tones — sage, cream, dusty rose — will carry you beautifully through the whole day.

RSVP
Kindly respond by May 15, 2026 so we can save your seat at the table. We truly cannot wait to celebrate with you under the Tuscan sky.
RSVP
We're getting married on July 15, 2026. The ceremony begins at 4pm, so please arrive by 3:45pm to be seated.
The day takes place at Podere San Quirico in the Val d'Orcia, Tuscany — the chapel, dinner and dancing are all on the same grounds.
The ceremony is in the stone chapel; the reception and dancing are in the garden under the olive trees, with covered space if the weather turns.
We'll miss you dearly. Please let us know through the RSVP form so we can plan the tables, and we'll raise a glass to you on the night.
We'd love you fully present for the vows, so the ceremony is unplugged — our photographer will share every frame afterwards. Snap away at the reception!
Yes — there are several agriturismi and small hotels within a fifteen-minute drive in San Quirico d'Orcia and Pienza. Book early; July is peak season.
Doors open at 3:30pm. Arrive by 3:45pm at the latest so we can start the ceremony together, right on time.
Your presence is the greatest gift. If you'd like to give something, a contribution to our honeymoon in Puglia would be wonderful — details on request.
We adore little ones, but this is an adults-only evening so parents can let loose. We're happy to recommend trusted local sitters.
Reach out to us any time through the RSVP form below and we'll get straight back to you — no question is too small.
