Encircled by its famous Renaissance walls, Lucca is a quieter, more intimate alternative to Florence: cobbled squares, hidden courtyards, and countryside villas just outside the gates make it a wonderful setting for a symbolic ceremony.

Celebrating with you in Lucca
Lucca is one of my favorite Tuscan towns to work in, compact, relaxed, and easy to reach. I'm based nearby, so I can meet your venue in advance and arrive unhurried on the day. The city walls and surrounding villas give you both intimate and spacious options within minutes of each other.
The quiet Tuscan alternative
Lucca is the town I recommend when couples love Tuscany but want something more intimate than Florence. The Renaissance walls keep the center calm and walkable, and the countryside villas in the Lucchesia are only minutes away. It is a practical choice too: Pisa airport is close, and Lucca makes a relaxed base for exploring the wider region. The ceremony settings here are understated but beautiful, from courtyards within the walls to gardens among olive groves just outside. It suits couples who want Tuscan charm without the crowds.
