Qui entriamo nella parte “itinerary”, più concreta e immaginativa, usando un tono narrativo ma molto chiaro.
Day 1 – Arrivals, settling in and a relaxed Italian welcome
Afternoon
- Guests arrive from the UK and are welcomed at SPAO with refreshments in the main square of the borgo.
- Check‑in to their suites and apartments, time to explore the alleys, gardens and pool area at their own pace.
Evening – Welcome Dinner
- Informal welcome dinner in the garden or by the pool: pizza and pasta party, barbecue or family‑style Umbrian buffet, depending on your style.
- Simple styling with string lights, candles and seasonal flowers sets the tone: this is not just a wedding, it is a three‑day house party in a medieval village.
This first evening lets guests decompress after travelling and start mingling without the formality of the wedding day.
Day 2 – The wedding day in the borgo
Morning
- Slow breakfast across the borgo, guests enjoying coffee in the piazza, by the pool or on their private terraces.
- Hair and make‑up teams arrive to start preparations; your photographer begins capturing the atmosphere, details and getting‑ready moments.
Afternoon – Ceremony
- Civil or symbolic ceremony in one of SPAO’s most scenic spots: a garden framed by the forest, the borgo’s main square, or inside the beautiful deconsecrated church if you prefer an indoor atmosphere or need a Plan B for weather. The setting is tailored to your style and season, with the SPAO team and your florist ensuring every detail matches the mood you defined together.
Late Afternoon – Aperitivo
- Prosecco, cocktails and canapés served outdoors as the light softens, with live acoustic music or a playlist that feels like your story.
- Guests can wander between different corners of the borgo, discovering viewpoints and quiet spots as they talk.
Evening – Dinner and Party
- Dinner is served under the stars in the square or in the gardens, or indoors in one of SPAO’s historic halls if you prefer a more formal feel.
- Your bespoke menu unfolds over several courses, paired with local wines chosen with the chef.
- After dinner, speeches, cake cutting and dancing continue into the night, with the layout adapted to your music style and guest energy.
Because everyone is staying in the borgo, there is no last coach to catch. Guests can leave when they want, walk to their suites in minutes and return for a nightcap at the bar if they wish.
Day 3 – Brunch, pool and slow goodbyes
Late Morning – Brunch
- Guests wake up at their own pace and gather for a relaxed brunch in the garden or by the pool: Italian pastries, fresh fruit, savoury dishes.
This is the perfect time for lingering conversations, final toasts and unhurried photos.
Afternoon
- Depending on flight times, some guests stay to enjoy the pool, walk in the surrounding countryside or visit a nearby town, while others depart with pre‑organised transfers back to the airport.
- You may choose to stay one extra night as a couple to decompress and enjoy the borgo in quiet after your guests leave.
Throughout the three days, the SPAO team remains your on‑site reference point, coordinating timings with suppliers, adjusting logistics if flights change, and keeping the schedule flexible enough to feel human rather than rigid.
