Set at the very centre of the Peninsula, Umbria is home to vast parks and a sweet hillside scenery , for which it takes the name of Italy's green heart.
There is a unique, mystic feeling to Umbria with its plentiful Etruscan sites surviving time next to the many vibrant Medieval towns and blessed with Renaissance art all over. Rest and good homey food are people's priorities here. You will be greatly tempted by the shop windows elegantly laying out trays of hand-made pasta, locally sourced black truffles, and melt-in-your-mouth cold cuts.
With such a hospitable environment, it will be very easy to shape your idea of a wedding in Umbria. Umbria carries a silent, meditative flavour and is a very dear place to the spiritual community for birthing many notable figures, amongst which are Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Benedict, father of Western Monacistism.
The powerful presence of mother nature outnumbering the human residents of this region makes it tick all the boxes for a quiet, intimate wedding. Assisi is a very cute Medieval village, attracting devotees from all over the world and their veneration for Saint Francis. Standing for the principles of kindness and tolerance, this magical town became a symbol across other faiths too, and for this very reason, we have helped many of our couples tie the knot here with a religious service.
Assisi is also known to visitors as a non-spiritual landmark, so after your time at the Basilica and the romanesque buildings, you may head over to the piazza. Make sure you ask for some refreshments in one of the local eateries or spend some time cruising along the streets, taking pictures of the typical stone houses. The town is placed very strategically and gives easy access to explore Umbria or reach Tuscany and even Rome for a day trip.
