THE EXPERIENCE
A wedding in Tuscany at Terzo di Danciano is one like no other. More than a ceremony, it’s a multi-day experience of food, laughter, and celebration. The location is stunning, the cuisine is spectacular, and your hosts attend to every detail, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy. Let us know what you would like to be included.
WELCOME DINNER
The night of your arrival, we invite you and a small group of your closest friends and family to the Bachificio. (If you want to have more, just ask.) Set the tone for your whole experience with a toast to your guests and the upcoming celebration. Gather around our dining table the night of your arrival for an intimate welcome dinner. Enjoy a beautiful freshly prepared meal with each course personally presented by our charismatic chef. Savor the food, the moment, and the anticipation of the days to come.
PIZZA PARTY
The night before the wedding is the perfect time to gather friends and family to meet, mingle, and connect - and our interactive pizza party is the perfect place. It’s held in the garden at the heart of the villa, where our ancient stone oven stands to one side, with centuries of memories hidden within its walls. Today it stands ready to bring your guests’ own authentic, personal pizzas to life. Guests can sip their wine, assemble and compare their favorite ingredients, and get ready to dine alfresco.
PRE-CEREMONY : THE GOLDEN APERITIVO HOURS
In the afternoon sunlight of our garden, The Gilded Hour begins—a decadent aperitivo experience of sumptuously curated indulgences. Attentive waiters glide through the gathering, offering drinks and sizzling small bites, while three resplendent tables invite guests to savor the finest meats paired with artisan mustards, perfectly aged cheeses draped in honey and herbs, and heavenly vegetarian souffles, stuffed olives, and crudites. The air of the villa is filled with music, laughter, and celebration.
OPEN BAR
Mix and mingle near the dance floor at our open bar. Part mixologist, part magician, your host will make any beverage you dream up - with flair. Flower petals fly, ice cubes clink and voila - your beverage is served. It’s four hours of fun - which can be extended at an additional cost.
POOL PARTY
While the big event may be over, the party has just begun. Make a splash together with music and refreshments at the pool.
MORNING-AFTER BRUNCH
Relax the morning after (and maybe even nurse your hangover) with a leisurely brunch the next day. This can be served anywhere you like, from the Bachificio to the pool.
COOKING CLASS
For those who love cooking, we offer on-site private cooking classes. Your group can learn to make a gourmet meal featuring three authentic Italian dishes, and enjoy hearty helpings of laughter, with our brilliant and entertaining chef
WINE TASTING & PAIRING DINNER
An incredible experience curated by one of the area’s most exceptional sommeliers. Choose from an on-site wine tasting or a wine pairing dinner featuring five unique and delicious wines, each chosen to complement a course in the meal.
EXCURSIONS:
From hiking the hillsides to dining in Rome, adventure awaits for your and your guests outside the walls of our secluded villa. We arrange transportation and expertly guided excursions, or make local recommendations for self-guided experiences. Learn more

Reviews
"We had the most magical wedding week at Terzo di Danciano with our friends and family. Terzo is a spectacular venue - it has such a special ambience. We felt like we were in a movie the whole week! Kriszti and Luca are so attentive and have such keen attention to detail. It was such a pleasure getting to know the rest of the wonderful staff too. We have to give Sergio a shout out - his cooking is exceptional! We are still dreaming about the wonderful welcome dinner and his blueberry ravioli. We can't wait to return one day. Thank you for hosting us Luca and Kriszti." Much love. Jayne & Josh

"My husband and I chose Terzo di Danciano for our wedding last April, and it was a fantastic experience! Kriszti and Luca assisted us in the organization and helped us to define everything down in advance, to avoid any inconvenience. This let us have a wonderful celebration, despite the adverse weather of that day. The spaces are very beautiful and cozy, we received compliments from all the invitees for the beauty of the structure and the efficient organization indeed. Thanks again to you both!"

"Let's start with this: we give 5 stars only because we can't do more. We chose to celebrate our wedding at Terzo di Danciano, a unique location that was immediately in line with our wishes. We wanted a magical but at the same time intimate place, which was not "depersonalized" (a bit like the classic dispersive and soulless "wedding factory" to understand each other) and which above all was capable of telling something about us. Once there, we fell in love with it immediately, for its refined, impeccable simplicity: the elegance of a living room but with the flavor of home. We were looked after by Luca and Kriszti, both UNIQUE and indispensable. Top Service."

Luca e Kriszti sono stati eccezionali, oltre a gestire in maniera perfetta due giornate ci hanno organizzato anche una bellissima sorpresa!"

"Cari Luca e Kriszti, grazie di cuore per l'ospitalità e l'attenzione per noi, per i nostri ospiti e per i dettagli del nostro matrimonio. Siamo stati tutti benissimo e ci siamo sentiti davvero coccolati. Gli interni, le meravigliose camere spaziose e arredate con gusto, I fiori freschi in ogni ambiente, il giardino curato, il panorama, sono stati una cornice da favola per il nostro ricevimento. Riporto i complimenti di tutti anche per il servizio impeccabile, vostro e del catering. Ci auguriamo di poter tornare presto a Terzo perchè ci abbiamo lasciato il cuore. Grazie!"
