Destination Weddings in Pienza

A favorite among couples, a wedding in Pienza means selecting a remarkably charming Renaissance town that many rave enthusiastically about for a dream destination wedding in Tuscany.  Pienza lines the countryside skyline with impressive architecture, tall, stone buildings, and old-fashioned shops and hotels that provide a fantastic and whimsical getaway for those who choose to grace the presence of this picturesque Italian town. 

Completely redesigned by Pope Pius II, Pienza was planned to transform into the perfect model of a Renaissance town.  The small town now stands as a fine example to the old-world culture, as well as a utopian city and a supreme location in Italy for living, governing and working for its civil and pacific residents.

As it is a very architectural hot spot, Pienza offers guests many pleasant sights to behold, including museums, palazzos and churches.  The Duomo is located in the Piazza Pio II and dates back to the late 15th century.  Now enduring some serious depreciation on its east end with crack in the floors of its nave and walls, this stunning “house of glass” still maintains its beautiful classical proportions.  Sunlight floods through the vast stained glass windows and still stands as a tribute to the architect Rossellino.

Next door is the Palazzo Piccolomini.  Here, luxurious apartments are open for public viewing, as well as an elaborate arcaded courtyard and triple-tiered loggia that looks down upon the garden villa.  Catch spectacular panoramic views of Tuscany from a top the loggia!

Pienza also has the Cattedralle dell’Assunta, a spectacular cathedral that is home to panel paintings by some of the most renowned Sienese artists of the Renaissance period.  The town hall and museum in Palazzo Vescovile exhibit a merging of several creative styles.

Nearby are the cities of Siena and Montepulciano, which are both worth a visit if time allows.

Take your time in visiting each location, as most car traffic is blocked, and mostly pedestrians inhabit travel paths in the area.  Walk down the old stone streets of Pienza and truly enjoy each and every view that this amazing, small town has to offer.

The Palazzo Comunale hosts civil weddings in Pienza and is a gorgeous wedding hall, a stunning 14th century building located in the town’s center Pienza.  The interiors are adorned in Gothic style furnishings as well as historical heraldic strategies and breathtaking frescoes.  The exterior arches feature beautiful colored paintings of angels, a sure blessing for a cherished civil wedding in Pienza.  Exchange your vows in the wedding hall’s warm, inviting atmospheres and head outside after the ceremony to bask in the views and snap photographs that will remain in your wedding album for years to come.

As well as your fabulous Pienza wedding, there will also be a remarkable reception following.  Bask in the sun or moonlight as you delight in Tuscan tastes and world-famous wine with the ones you love.  Pick Pienza for your Italian destination wedding and experience a world of happiness as you start your new lives together!
