Destination Weddings in Lucca
Lucca, Italy, located in the center-north part of Tuscany, is a beautiful and architecturally stunning destination wedding location. Some of Lucca's most exciting wedding destination gems are the Lucca Wedding Hall, the 17th Century Baroque Villa and an 18th century Tuscan mansion.
Lucca Wedding Hall
The Lucca Wedding Hall, a 16th century Renaissance style palazzo, is one of the most popular wedding destinations in Lucca. Weddings are performed in the Sala Verde, or Green Room, an extremely elegant green tapestry walled room with a fresco ceiling and antique gilded furniture. The civil ceremonies can include up to 40 standing attendants and can be accompanied by either classic or traditional music. Wedding photos can be taken in the wedding room and in the private garden. The Lucca Wedding Hall has availability year round.

17th Century Baroque Villa
The 17th Century Baroque Villa in Lucca is a decadent, aristocratic historic site that hosts highly luxurious weddings. The Villa boasts original furnishings, silk-lined walls and breath-taking rooms and halls for weddings and receptions. Protestant and Symbolic weddings can be held onsite for 30 to 300 guests year round. The 17th Century Baroque Villa maintains a Renaissance Garden adorned with citrus trees, fish ponds and statues and the dining area has original, restored frescoes of neo-classical painter Stefano Torfanelli. The Villa is one of the few historic villas that have central heat to accommodate cold weather weddings.
