Michael and Olivia were both working for a university in Toronto when they got acquainted four years ago. Time flies, jobs and cities change but the thing that always stays the same for this couple is their travel destination: Italy. Olivia’s family lives in the North of Italy, so each year the couple visits the sunny Apennine island. Unexpectedly for Olivia, Michael decided to make their fifth Italian trip unforgettable by proposing Olivia share their love for the rest of their lives.
They planned their trip to Italy for April, which is the perfect time to enjoy hospitable Italy without crowds of tourists.

Coming back to our beautiful couple of Michael and Olivia, as it was not (yet!) the wedding planning, Michael managed to prepare the proposal secretly telling Olivia that he is responsible only for their trip. We went with Michael through all the organization process by consulting him about the most suitable accommodation he and Olivia had by their arrival, about the best proposal venue in the heart of Chianti, and even about the most responsible and adoring moment of their Italian trip – the proposal itself! So put yourself comfortable and let us set up for a journey to one of the most welcoming and lovely places in the world with our couple to witness their fabulous moment of love!
Tuscany is often called a region of villas, so it was not easy for Michael to choose the special accommodation for their Italian trip! Our groom decided to choose a fancy villa because the couple were planning a journey for their fifth anniversary. After consultation with us, we agreed on a wonderful villa that was located only 55 km from away Siena and 85 km away from Florence, which makes it a wonderful place to start a little journey the other day and explore the region. Michael and Olivia arrived at the Florence airport (there was also an option to come to Pisa as well) and our transfer was waiting for the couple to drive them to the remarkable villa.
The location that Michael chose is standing out for its beautiful olive groves and vineyards scattered all around. A sun splash infinite pool on the terrace and a well-managed tennis court make the area full of fun and joy. Like many villas in the Chianti area, it was originally designed as a farmhouse; however, today it has been converted into a luxurious residence. This place is located at a short distance of fewer than 15 minutes from the village of Castellina in Chianti. While planning the accommodation at this Brilliant Wedding Tuscany venue, Michael asked us to organize a short trip to some medieval town to propose Olivia there. And of course, we helped him with this!
A few days after our two lovebirds came to the villa, they rented a car with a driver and went through the hills to meet their future that was filled with love. Michael suggested Olivia go to Castellina in Chianti, where we prepared everything to meet them! Being experts in this work field, we know the best locations and nice local people who can provide the best services. As the Chianti area is famous for its great landscapes and green hills, we suggested they have lunch in a typical local trattoria (café) with the most delicious Tuscan cuisine, unique local wines, that are made in this region, and the picturesque views.
We advised Michael to go exactly to Castellina in Chianti because the proposal would take place within the medieval fortress, which is showing its medieval character through its beautiful exterior stone structure and its warm interiors alike. We booked a terrace and a hall in this place especially for Michael and Olivia and decorated it with candles and flowers, moreover, the musician was invited to make the wedding proposal in the heart of Italy truly unforgettable. Before the proposal, the couple explored the ancient village on foot, and after the special dinner with the view on the Chianti hills was planned.
We were glad to witness the couple at the moment of their proposal! Having tears of happiness in her eyes, Olivia said “I will!” When getting acquainted with them in person we felt the warmth and tenderness between them, so we could not imagine any other ending of this romantic story.
