With its ancient stone walls, towering presence, and sweeping views of the surrounding hills, Poppi Castle provided the perfect backdrop for Andrew and Corey's wedding ceremony a place where history and romance intertwine.
Just minutes away, the luxurious estate of Borgo Corsignano served as the heart of the celebration. This enchanting borgo (medieval village) offered intimacy, warmth, and authentic Tuscan hospitality, allowing guests to immerse themselves fully in the three-day experience.
Day One: Welcome, Pasta, and an Unforgettable Opera
The celebration began with warmth and authenticity. Guests gathered for a heartfelt welcome drink, followed by a traditional Italian pasta dinner. Laughter filled the air as old friends and new family connections were made over plates of handmade pasta and local wine.
But the evening held a surprise that no one expected.
After dinner, guests were treated to a 90-minute private opera concert. The powerful voices echoed through the Tuscan night, creating a moment of pure magic. For 90 minutes, time stood still as music and emotion swept through the borgo a stunning prelude to the days ahead.

The celebration continued back at Borgo Corsignano, where the evening transformed into an unforgettable party. Laughter, dancing, and tears of joy filled the night. The highlight? A stunning traditional Italian wedding cake Mille Foglie with its delicate layers of puff pastry and cream, a sweet symbol of the many layers of their love story.

Just when it seemed the celebration couldn't get better, Day Three arrived.
The day began with relaxation and joy around the pool. A laid-back atmosphere took over as guests enjoyed burgers, cocktails, and the warm Tuscan sun while a DJ set the mood with effortless beats.
