SPAO offers a private chef for your wedding celebration. Food is an opportunity to give each gathering its own character, from the first welcome to the wedding meal and the final brunch.
Our culinary offering draws on Umbrian, Tuscan and Lazio traditions, seasonal ingredients and local produce, with an in-house Executive Chef and Sommelier involved in the experience (SPAO’s wedding cuisine). Menus are personalised rather than treated as a single fixed choice, with consultations and dietary requirements discussed with the culinary team (SPAO’s wedding cuisine).
For Australian couples, this is also a way to introduce guests to the place they have travelled to. Let the menu express your tastes and the setting, without feeling that every meal has to be as formal as the wedding dinner.
A multi-day celebration, not a prescribed programme
The advantage of a destination wedding is time together. At SPAO, you can give the stay a beginning, a centre and a gentle close, while leaving space for guests to enjoy themselves.
- The welcome: Consider a dinner, sunset gathering, pizza night or wine tasting to bring people together before the wedding.
- The wedding: Discuss ceremony and dining settings, an evening in the Piazza Grande and the possibilities for a celebration around the pool
- The farewell: A brunch can close the stay; guided walks, cooking classes, yoga or truffle hunting are other experiences to explore with the team .
These are ideas for designing your celebration, not a statement that every activity is included in every booking. Agree the programme, services and practical arrangements with SPAO as part of your proposal.
Dedicated planning while you are in Australia
SPAO’s planning offering covers supplier selection and coordination, event design, guest logistics, décor, flowers, lighting, music and multi-day timelines. That gives Australian couples a local team with whom to coordinate the wider celebration.
Start by sharing what matters most: the people coming, the atmosphere you want and the decisions you need help making. Then agree responsibilities, milestones and communication windows that work across Australia and Italy.
Planning support should make choices clearer, not take your personality out of them. SPAO’s philosophy is to shape the celebration around the couple rather than fit it into a predefined format.
