Destination Wedding Italy
a three-day Italian wedding weekend with all your favorite people.
A destination wedding that feels like a relaxed Italian holiday! A luxurious estate without the Tuscany price tag. This is going to be EPIC!
Life’s too short for boring weddings!
The dreamy Italian estate she pinned 147 times, and a private padel court (yup, priorities). An endless vegetable garden and 400+ olive trees. This is for fun couples who want an intimate wedding… but still know how to throw a proper party. Who don’t feel the need to drop €15K on flowers. Who come for the real Italian food, the flowing Aperol, and a weekend that actually feels like them. If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
Pizza & Spritz Party
FRIDAY
Your wedding weekend starts the way it should: relaxed, sunny and already feeling like a holiday. In the morning, you and your villa guests arrive, unpack, and slip straight into pool mode. Late afternoon the rest of your guests join, and the park fills with Aperol and Limoncello Spritz, fun XXL games, and the smell of fresh pizza coming out of the oven during a live pizza show by our favorite caterer. It’s the perfect, easygoing start where everyone meets, mingles, and your wedding weekend truly begins.

SATURDAY
Your Wedding Day
Let's start with a typical Italian breakfast to wake up from last nights party. While the groomsmen get competitive on the padel court, the bridesmaids take over their own wing of the villa to get ready together. After a relaxed Italian lunch with focaccia and cold pasta, guests arrive for welcome drinks before we head into the ceremony. From a Prosecco tower and a generous antipasti buffet to golden hour photos, an AWESOME Italian dinner, all you can eat tiramisu and cold fireworks. Our DJ makes sure the dance floor stays full because this is an EPIC party.
SUNDAY
Hangover Pool Brunch
Sunday is for slowing down and soaking up the last hours together. We serve a generous brunch buffet with fresh waffles, pancakes, bacon, eggs, fruit and everything you might crave after a great party. Add a Mimosa or Bloody Mary tower, sunglasses on, and everyone back in their poolside chairs. One last swim, one last toast, and the perfect relaxed ending to a wedding weekend that felt more like a holiday with all your favorite people.
Are you one of the exclusive 10 groups we invite each year?
In 2021, we got engaged and started planning our dream Italian wedding. Very quickly we discovered the reality of the wedding industry — hidden costs everywhere, from €700 for lights to €5-per-person cake cutting fees. At some venues we felt like just another time slot in a sales pitch, and even the “perfect” villa turned out to be disappointing in real life. So we decided to create the place we couldn’t find ourselves.
Maniero was born from the idea that weddings should feel relaxed, beautiful and genuinely fun — not like a production line. That’s why we host only a few weddings each year, allowing every couple to truly make the place their own.
Together with a small circle of trusted partners — planners, caterers and photographers — we create wedding weekends that feel personal, stylish and full of great moments with the people you love most.
And when you visit Maniero? Expect wine, a good dinner, and a warm welcome. Because for us, this isn’t just business, it’s personal.
Don't forget to have fun!
Psstt... this is your party!
FOR
Shall we let you in on a little secret? This isn’t a wedding for your mom, grandma, aunt, or that distant cousin you barely know. You don’t have to do things just because they’re “expected.” This is your party, so let's have some fun shall we ;)
THEIR LOVE
Have fun
We've created a padel court, a beach volleyball field, a playcourt for the little ones, an indoor gym, an arcade hall, and a 20-meter pool for endless enjoyment.
Go all-in
We provide tables and chairs, a sound system around the pool and garden, and a beamer for your convenience. Saving you the hassle of hiring a lot of external items.
Get partners
We can connect you with our local partners for catering, transport services, flowers, musicians, and more, simplifying your planning process.
Save money
Since Le Marche it's still flying under the radar (shh, don't tell anyone!), you'll save a bunch €€ compared to those Tuscany weddings. Good deal, right?
Why Maniero as your wedding venue?
Fun is our middle name — stress and basic just don’t live here. At Maniero, weddings feel more like a weekend with your favorite people than a formal event. Big extravagance doesn’t really suit the park; think more along the lines of a relaxed Italian holiday with all your favorite people.
Stay
We love intimate weddings! Our wedding venue is perfect for up to 100 guests. With space for 18 of your closest friends and family in our villa , plus our partner Hotel 10 min out for the other guests, everyone will be well taken care of.
Celebrate
With our Maniero Wedding Package, we take care of everything from A to Z together with our trusted suppliers — always shaped around your wishes and style. Rather organize things yourself? You’re also welcome to bring your own wedding planner.
Play
Did you know we're the ONLY private estate in the region with our very own outdoor Padel court? Step into our indoor arcade hall, complete with billiards, whack-a-mole, basketball, one-vs-one arcade, darts, and air hockey. Outdoors, our expansive play area gets all the little ones excited, while XL chess and Jenga keep the grown-ups entertained. Let's have some fun, shall we?!
Love from our couples
Last summer we celebrated our dream wedding in Montecassiano, and it was truly unforgettable. Not only we as a couple, but all of our guests fell in love with the beautiful venue. Every corner of Maniero has its own atmosphere and view, and our guests kept discovering new details both inside the house and in the gardens.
What made the experience even more special were the wonderful owners, Amber and Fabi. They did so much more than simply rent out their home — their care and involvement were present from the first moment until the very end of the wedding weekend. We are incredibly grateful and Maniero will always have a special place in our hearts. We highly recommend experiencing this beautiful venue for yourself.

FAQ
Got questions? Totally normal. Here are the things couples most often ask us when planning their wedding at Maniero.
01
What budget should we expect for a wedding at Maniero?
Most couples spend around €900 per guest for a full three-day wedding weekend. This usually includes venue rental, accommodation for 18 villa guests, event hosting for 55 guests, wedding planning, basic styling, catering, flowers and DJ. Of course, the budget can go up if you decide to add something extra — like a Mexican alpaca as your ring bearer 😉
03
Where do our other guests stay?
For guests who are not staying at the villa, we work together with our partner hotel Relais La Colombaia, just 10 minutes from Maniero. It’s a beautiful, brand-new hotel with modern rooms. In our village, only 4 minutes away, you’ll also find the 4-star Villa Quiete Hotel, another great option for your guests. We’re happy to help coordinate accommodation blocks and transport for your guests.
02
How easy is it to reach Maniero?
The closest airport is Ancona (40 minutes), followed by Perugia (1 hour). Many international guests also fly into Bologna (2 hours) or Florence and Rome (around 3 hours). We can easily arrange shuttle buses or private taxis to bring your guests from the airport to Maniero.
04
Do you work with specific suppliers?
Yes, we have a small circle of favorite partners — planners, caterers, photographers and more — who know Maniero inside out. We love working with them because they offer great quality, great energy and always go the extra mile for our couples. And just to be clear: they don’t pay us commissions, we recommend them simply because we genuinely love working together. Prefer to bring your own dream team? That’s totally fine too.
