Weddings in Abruzzo
Hi there
I got married in June this year in Loreto Aprutino - we had around 90 guests from all around the world. My husband's parents and sister and her family live in Montesilvano, so we had many local guests too. We had a fabulous service at Santa Maria in Piano - (full Catholic service in Italian) followed by reception at Castello Chiola. Most of the guests stayed in the castle too for the weekend.
The flowers, for me and the church were amazing - we had a 1930s car to take us to the castle which was wonderful and the whole thing was a dream.......and the cost was I would say less than half that of a london wedding. We had six courses for our dinner and unlimited wine...for around 50 pounds a head..that included cake and champagne too.
The Castello is a marvellous place for a reception - looking out across the town. We arranged it all ourselves and believe by doing that we got it all so cheaply - going in to the local florist etc etc and doing it all face to face.
If anyone would like any advice please do ask - I have even thought of doing wedding planning over there, such was my delight in the way our day went!
