Weddings & Events Information
Ask a questionThe scenery around you is just spectacular from the vast gardens at Villa Flavus – gaze at the rolling hills and distant woodland as you celebrate your special day in the beautiful grounds filled with roses and olive trees.
Small ceremonies and receptions can be hosted inside this historic home but the real romance is experienced outside as you enjoy exquisite Tuscan cuisine prepared by exceptional chefs, surrounded by the scent of summer flowers and lemon trees. As the evening nears, sip cocktails with your loved ones by the swimming pool, beautifully lit up at night to create a magical ambience for you and your guests.
This romantic setting is perfect for a relaxed and joyous event with magnificent landscapes afar alongside the backdrop of this handsome and elegant home.
Wedding Reception
Inside the beautiful villa there is space for up to 30-40 people for a reception whilst outside up to 200 guests can be accommodated across the lovely gardens.
There are no restrictions on how late music can be played inside the villa but it must be turned off by midnight if outside.
A marquee can also be hired in the grounds on request if desired.
Wedding Ceremony
There is a small chapel in the estate at the gates of one of the other villas, Villa Monte Pisano, which has room for up to 30-40 guests. Alternatively, a small ceremony can be hosted inside the villa (20-30 people) or for a larger event a service can be set up in a number of spots across the glorious grounds (for up to 200 guests).
An English-speaking celebrant can be arranged.
Where to Stay
15-19 people can stay at Villa Flavus whilst many other guests can reside in one of the two separate villas we feature on the same estate (San Colombano for up to 12 guests and Villa Monte Pisano for up to 22-26 guests), subject to availability and minimum stay restrictions.
The owner’s second estate, around 2.5km away, features Villa Maestosa (14 guests) and Villa Le Fontane (24-26 guests).
Alternatively, there are many hotels and villas in and around Lucca (within a 5-10 minute drive away). The owner has their own transportation company that can be used to drive guests to and from the venue.
Wedding Planning
The owners prefer to use their own wedding planners for the event.
If you wish to use your own then you must request this in advance and permission may be given in some circumstances.
Catering
The owners prefer for clients to use their own experienced caterers (in-house and external suppliers). A number of options are available such as aperitivi, formal sit-down meals, dessert buffets, after dinner fruit tables and more.
If you would like to use your own caterers then this must be requested in advance for approval. There is no corkage fee if you wish to provide your own wine but again, this is on request only.
Other Information
Other services that can be arranged on request include hair-dressing, make-up artists, photographers and film-makers, wedding cakes, flowers, table décor, musicians (harpists, live jazz etc), DJs and children entertainers/nannies.
Any other external suppliers can only be used with permission.
Please note weddings can also be organised at any of the owner's five villas we feature - Villa Monte Pisano and San Colombano in the same estate or Villa Maestosa and Villa Le Fontane in a separate estate around a 5-minute drive away. Please see the "Events" tab for each individual villa.
Please note that any event rental may be subject to additional charges, venue hire fees and to a higher security deposit, which will be in addition to any published rental rates and fees.
All events are on request only and subject to prior agreement from the owner, who reserves the right to refuse all events without their prior authorisation.
