Arezzo province is its own corner of Tuscany, east of Siena and Florence, closer to Cortona and the Umbrian border than to the coast. It’s quieter than the hilltowns further west, and the venues reflect that, a vineyard estate the Medici once used as a country retreat, a genuinely medieval fortified hamlet rather than a restored approximation of one, and private castles around Anghiari, the small walled town where a young Michelangelo and Piero della Francesca both worked. This page looks specifically at Arezzo province, separate from the wider Tuscany region page elsewhere on this site.

I photograph weddings across this stretch of Tuscany, a vaulted ceremony hall on a wine estate, a medieval castle courtyard, a private tower near Anghiari. Below are four real venues worth knowing, plus the questions couples ask me most before booking a wedding here.

From Intimate Elopements to Big Weddings in Arezzo

Arezzo works just as beautifully for intimate elopements as it does for larger and multi-day celebrations.

I photograph:
– quiet, intentional elopements with just the two of you
– small weddings with close family and friends
– full wedding days with a larger guest count
– multi-day wedding celebrations, including welcome dinners and relaxed moments before or after the wedding

No matter the size or length of the celebration, my focus is always the same: real moments, strong atmosphere, and portraits that feel natural rather than posed. The scale may change, but the intention doesn’t.

Wedding Videographer in Arezzo: Photo and Hybrid Video Coverage

Alongside photography, I also offer wedding video coverage in Arezzo as part of a hybrid photo and video approach.

Video is treated as an extension of the photography, captured with the same sensitivity to light, timing, and atmosphere. The focus stays on real moments, movement, and sound, without staged scenes or intrusive production.

For weddings that benefit from an additional perspective, a dedicated videographer can also be included, always working in the same calm, unobtrusive way and fully aligned with how I photograph the day.

This approach works especially well for destination weddings, where intimacy, setting, and emotion matter more than spectacle.

The Best Wedding Venues in Arezzo

Four venues across Arezzo, from a Medici-era wine estate to a medieval fortified hamlet and private castles near Anghiari.

Wedding venue near Arezzo, Tuscany

Villa La Selva, Bucine
A centuries-old wine estate in the Val d’Ambra, already chosen by the Medici as a country villa and largely unchanged since. The ceremony hall has vaulted ceilings, the estate keeps its own small family chapel, and a formal Italian garden and panoramic terrace give you the rest of the day. Guest capacity stays deliberately small, up to about 50, with on-site rooms across the villa, the winery house and several garden suites, so the whole wedding party can actually stay together on the property.

Castello di Gargonza, Monte San Savino
A fortified medieval hamlet between the Chianti hills and the Val di Chiana, kept deliberately unrestored, the stone walls, the wooden stairs and the original stairwells left as they were rather than modernized into a generic castle hotel. Gargonza has its own restaurant on site for the reception, apartments across the hamlet for guests to stay in, and enough green space around the walls for an outdoor ceremony.

Castello di Sorci, Anghiari
A real medieval tower and fortified farmhouse below Anghiari, run by the same family for generations as a countryside osteria known for its enormous fixed-menu Tuscan dinner, course after course of it, before it took on weddings as well. It’s the choice on this page for a couple who wants a genuinely rustic, unpolished Tuscan feast built into the wedding itself, not a plated dinner dressed up to look rural.

Castello di Galbino, Anghiari
A private castle estate near Anghiari, rented exclusively for one wedding at a time rather than shared with other events. Galbino holds up to 120 guests with on-site rooms for 26 of them, gardens and olive groves around the property, and a working relationship with a short list of planners, caterers and florists who already know the castle, useful for a couple coordinating a wedding here from abroad.

Your Arezzo Wedding Photographer

I’m Dejan, an Arezzo wedding photographer.
My focus is always the wedding itself, not performances for the camera. The photos are simply a reflection of the day: genuine, calm, and emotionally grounded.

I take my work seriously, but never myself too seriously. A relaxed atmosphere, clear communication, and quiet confidence make all the difference, especially for destination weddings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this page different from your Tuscany page?

The Tuscany page on this site covers the region broadly. This page looks specifically at Arezzo province, east of Siena and Florence toward Cortona and the Umbrian border, a quieter and less-visited stretch of Tuscany with its own distinct venues.

What’s the best time of year for an Arezzo wedding?

May through June and September through early October give the most reliable weather without the August heat. Harvest season in September is genuinely beautiful around a wine estate like Villa La Selva, though it’s also the busiest and most in-demand stretch to book.

Which airport should our guests fly into?

Florence and Perugia both work, roughly an hour from most of the venues on this page in either direction. Rome’s airports are a further option for guests connecting through a wider range of international flights, about two and a half hours by car.

Can we book just the wedding day, or does a castle like Galbino require the whole property?

Castello di Galbino and Castello di Sorci both run on an exclusive basis, one wedding at a time, which for Galbino usually means booking the property for more than a single day. Villa La Selva works similarly given its small on-site accommodation. It’s worth asking each venue directly about minimum-night requirements when you inquire.

Do we need a wedding planner in Arezzo?

I’d recommend one, particularly for a venue like Castello di Gargonza or Castello di Sorci, both of which are historic properties first and event venues second, without the large in-house wedding teams you’d find at a purpose-built hotel. A planner who already knows the property saves real coordination time for a couple planning from abroad.
