When we had our summer holiday at Tenuta dei Mori, we fell in love with this place. We even got engaged there. After the engagement it became clear for us this was the dream venue for our wedding. During the preparations we had various video calls and email contact with Andrea (manager). He is very kind and really understood our wishes for the perfect day. He was flexible and always available. A couple of months before our wedding we visited Tenuta dei Mori to meet the vendors (photographer, make-up and hair, catering, bartenders, florist, priest and translator). Andrea facilited various meetings with them. Those meetings were very pleasent and helpful in order to match expectations. We arrived a couple of days before our wedding with our families in order to relax and prepare for the big day. During those days we had some conversations to finalize everything. It was all worth it! We had such an amazing wedding! The venue looked beautiful and everything ran really smooth. We will never forget 14 June 2024.

This July 2024 my husband and I got married at Tenuta dei Mori with our "intimate" group of 54 guests. As this was a destination wedding for us, we had to be sure the villa was going to be able to provide us with everything we needed- from the first moment of inquiring with Andrea we felt like we were speaking to someone who truly cared about us and he was always available to answer any questions we had- no matter the time difference.

We are from Hawaii and we would travel to the other side of the world again and again to relive the experiences we had at Tenuta dei Mori. They hosted our families for the week of our wedding and the natural beauty of the villa and rolling hills took our breath away, but the kindess and attention to detail from every staff member at Tenuta dei Mori was what made us feel at home and taken care of. All of the vendors we had were through Tenuta dei Mori and we felt this same passion and love from all of those who are partnered with the villa.

Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts for treating us like family and creating such an easy and spectacular wedding day event for us and our families. We can't wait to come back again and visit for our anniversary! Big hugs

If you are short on time, let me summarize for you -- A wedding here will exceed your wildest dreams! If you have a few minutes, please read on and know that there are still not adequate words to do this exquisite location and incredible staff justice.
People often ask us what led us to Tenuta dei Mori and the only thing I can surmise is that it was some sort of divine direction. David and I were searching for venues on Google Maps and as though a magic compass was guiding us, we landed on this piece of heaven on earth. After reading multiple five-star reviews, I submitted an inquiry, and upon receiving Andrea’s warm and thorough reply, I knew all other potential venues had some major competition. Funny enough, Tenuta dei Mori was the first venue we visited and it was next to impossible not to sign a contract on the spot (fun fact: As we closed the car doors on our way out, David made us take a breath as a reminder that we had other places to visit. Immediately after this statement, his mouth turned up in a huge grin and he said, “But I REALLY LOVE THIS PLACE!”). This is how perfect the experience was! Andrea welcomed us like we were old friends and the overall sense of family and hospitality touches every aspect of the property. Aside from hospitality, the professionalism is unparalleled. The staff at Tenuta dei Mori and their trusted suppliers bring years of experience to the table, and beyond that, they are excellent communicators, honest, and dedicated to executing a showstopping event. Andrea’s attention to detail and his commitment to quality ensures a smooth planning process. Even amidst last minute changes and potential obstacles, Andrea provides a sense of calm and multiple solutions. He’s a Plan A, B and C person so we felt that no matter what surprises we encountered, we’d be guaranteed an extraordinary weekend. He’s as meticulous as they come and a world-class manager, but the only thing bigger than his smile is his heart.
Now let’s talk location: with each step around this magnificent property, you will see perfectly manicured grounds and one photogenic spot after another. Our photographers and videographers had a field day scouting locations and our guests had no shortage of idyllic photo op locations. The apartments, the pool, the olive grove, panoramic room, and vineyard -- they are all maintained to standards that would rival a Four Seasons. You will find all modern comforts in the apartments, but not at the sacrifice of tradition and rustic charm. We’ve all seen gorgeous vacation spots and impressive wedding venues, sure, but Tenuta dei Mori offers so much more than that -- there is a soul and a heartbeat here that makes it very much a home away from home. The special touches throughout the property are a constant reminder of the passion and heartfelt effort that went into each step of its construction. And if you have the pleasure to meet the owner, Piero, and his family, you instantly discern the earnest love of family and heritage that has been poured into Tenuta’s foundation.
When it comes to planning the event, we were delighted to find everything was entirely bespoke. Indeed, there are innumerable wedding factories scattered across the countryside, especially in neighboring Tuscany, where you can select from an array of predetermined packages. The experience at Tenuta dei Mori, however, was personalized and collaborative, enhanced by Andrea’s expert guidance and creativity. He’ll be the first to tell you he isn’t a wedding planner, but he has amassed a list of phenomenal suppliers and when we suggested an idea or requested something not previously done, he embraced it and endeavored to help us realize our vision. He facilitated meetings with the vendors and helped us organize the tasting (Apollinare Catering is outstanding, FYI). When we began to consider a Catholic ceremony, it was just moments later that we took a visit to the neighboring church. Many of our peers have remarked at the stress and headache of wedding prep, and David and I feel extremely thankful (and only verrrrry slightly guilty) that we do not share that sentiment. Ours was a fun, exciting and creative process that also granted us the privilege of forging new friendships with all of the amazing people we met along the way.
Come the wedding weekend, we and our guests were blown away. There are few words to describe the joy we felt seeing our friends and family fall in love with Tenuta dei Mori the same way we had a year prior. What was particularly enjoyable, too, was having two separate nights with wholly different themes and locations. During the welcome party, for example, guests never stepped foot in the vineyard nor saw the panoramic room, thus the wedding dinner and reception still held the newness and surprise of a property not yet fully discovered. The wedding itself transported guests from the church to the pool to the vineyard to the terrace and panoramic room -- dynamic movement that ensured the party never felt stagnant, but also smooth transitions that felt seamless and perfectly integrated (thanks, of course, to Andrea and another Tenuta dei Mori superstar, Elisa). The cocktail hour was bountiful and dinner was noted to be “one of the best meals in Italy ever.” No joke, this is a direct quotation. Tenuta dei Mori produces delicious wines -- not only did we gift a bottle as the wedding favor, a family member actually returned to the States and promptly ordered another case. The food, the flowers, the DJ, the barman, the fireworks, and the list goes on -- each and every facet of the wedding was beyond what we’d imagined. I am still not entirely convinced that the staff didn’t make a special phone call to the weather gods to deliver such a perfect sunset and ideal temperatures. The elation and exuberance is palpable in every photo and video clip. Our friends and family have continued relaying all of their favorite moments, affirming it was a one-in-a-million weekend. They also thanked us on multiple occasions for introducing them to Perugia, a city they may not have otherwise thought to include on their itineraries. It brings big, fat happy tears to my face to relive all the exceptional moments (which is way better than the big, fat ugly tears I shed when we had to drive away and bid farewell to our piece of paradise). We are already planning to celebrate our anniversary and hopefully many more momentous occasions at Tenuta dei Mori in years to come. It is easily one of our favorite places on the planet and certain to be one of yours, as well.

We are finally home from our honeymoon which was wonderful, but even then, we cannot stop thinking about our wedding day. We know that everyone says this, but our wedding day was truly the most perfect and special day of our lives.

Planning a wedding from abroad is not an easy task. During our planning process we looked at numerous venues online. But when we finally stumbled upon Tenuta dei Mori, we knew it was something special. When we visited the year prior to our wedding, we were blown away by the beauty of the apartments, panoramic room, and surrounding olive groves and vineyards.

Of course the venue is beautiful, but what makes Tenuta dei Mori stand out is the staff. Andrea is very attentive and detail oriented, ensuring the quality of the services and events he plans. He informed us a few times that he is not a wedding planner, but he has numerous connections with wonderful and dedicated suppliers. While having a day-of coordinator may be helpful to keep in touch with all of the suppliers and make sure everyone is where they need to be, Andrea and Elisa were able to coordinate with a few of our family members to fill in for that role. If you don’t have a family member to help, we would recommend a day-of coordinator, but Andrea’s contacts truly did eliminate most of the need for a wedding planner in our opinion.

Chef Antonio prepared the most delicious food that our guests could not stop raving about for days to come. We loved his dedication to preserving Umbrian flavors and products as well as his refinement when it came to food presentation. We were served a three course dinner with pasta and meat. All the food was superb and came out freshly prepared and hot (this has not always been the case at other weddings we have been to in the USA). Additionally, he was able to prepare the same meals and appetizers at our wedding gluten-free for a few of our guests including my sister who suffers from celiac disease. His team was very careful to prevent any kind of cross contamination and it was such a blessing for my sister to be able to eat and enjoy the night without worrying about getting sick.

Cristina and Martina were also wonderful, designing the most beautiful flowers which became the perfect details for this already beautiful venue. We loved drinking the cocktails by Elaria and Manuel, and dancing the night away to DJ Luca’s music. Great choice playing “What dreams are made of”. Our guests loved this! And Piros fireworks far exceeded anything we had ever imagined!! It was amazing! Most of our guests commented that it was the best firework display they had ever seen.

We decided to hire a band for our “cocktail hour”. We found Glissando Jazz trio via Facebook and cannot say enough good things! Nico is a true professional in terms of coordinating and planning. He offered to meet with us via video call and made us feel so at ease, answering all of our questions. He is also INCREDIBLY talented. We asked for specific cover songs for our ceremony and he recorded and sent them to us within a day. His trio was the perfect addition to our appetizer/cocktail hour!

Finally, we’d highly recommend Lomo Photography as recommended by Andrea. We use Lorenzo and Carlo for both our engagement photos when we visited the year before, and for our wedding. They are highly professional and skilled, and are open to any ideas the couple has. We had never really taken professional photos before, but they made us feel so at ease, guiding us through natural poses. They also had great recommendations for photo locations which we wouldn’t have known otherwise. They have extra staff on the wedding day if you choose the video and/or drone package, and they were equally as great.

If the wedding day wasn’t enough, we ended up planning a farewell pizza party the day after our wedding. This included true wood fired pizza in many different flavors/toppings. The pizza chef was even kind enough to teach us how to make the pizza ourselves! Our guests had a wonderful time!

Of course, none of this would have been possible without Andrea and Elisa. They are kind, professional and passionate about what they do. They truly made our dreams come true. We could not have imagined a more perfect day! For those planning from the US, it’s hard to visualize everything since we are used to American weddings. It may be nerve-racking trusting that everything will be as-advertised. But rest assured, everything was. From the appetizer buffet, to the pizza party the next day, everything met and exceeded our expectations. We will certainly be back in the future.

We held our wedding at Tenuta Dei Mori last June…Where to start?! I don’t think this box is big enough for me to write all the wonderful things about the venue and staff!

Firstly, it is a beautiful setting (the pictures are gorgeous but even they don’t do the scenery justice - it’s really breathtaking). The facilities are fantastic - multiple apartments, lovely swimming pool, gorgeous dining area and one of the apartments even has a hot tub!

But what really makes Tenuta Dei Mori so special are the staff and suppliers they work with - very passionate about what they do and dedicated to providing great quality. Everyone went out of their way to make our wedding day special and just as we wanted it - and it really was perfect :)

This review wouldn’t be complete without a special mention for Andrea. It was an absolute pleasure to get to know him over the months we planned our wedding - he is now more like a friend to us. He’s professional, responds quickly and always ready with a solution to make things as easy for us as possible - and always with a big smile!

Thank you Andrea and all the staff at Tenuta Dei Mori for making our wedding so special. We will definitely be coming back to visit you and relive the memories, looking forward to seeing you soon!
