I’m a Boston-based wedding photographer. I have photographed over 350 weddings in high-end wedding venues (hotels, estates, etc.) all over the world. This particular wedding venue, which we rented on Airbnb, was different, because it was MY wedding venue. Until last week, I thought I had seen everything in the wedding industry. I was very wrong. I have never met a more accommodating, helpful, cheerful, and willing coordinator/airbnb host. 😃 He and his team are the secret sauce to this home rental, and because of him, all of my expectations were exceeded. This home will forever hold a special places in our hearts, and there aren’t enough words in the English language to thank Giulio for making my wedding day absolutely perfect. I will be forever thanking this man, because he provided me what what every bride wants - a comfortable and relaxed day, surrounded by the people that I love the most. There are so many positives about this location as a wedding venue. I’ll do my best to list them here: Location - I chose this location because of its picturesque views and relaxed environment. The views are spectacular - especially at dawn and at sunset. There are multiple gardens, which was perfect for our ceremony as well as cocktail hour. One friend said, “It looks like the Windows XP” background. We debated between having the wedding reception indoors vs outdoors for a while. We ended up having it indoors because it was a bit chilly in April, but we had our first dance outside beneath the stars. Accommodation - The interiors are absolutely charming. Giulio and his family grew up here, and it’s very evident that he cares very much about the space. We hosted friends in the main house, my family in the 6-person house, and my husband’s family in the 8-person house. Having the ceremony and reception in the same location, and then not having to travel to a hotel room to sleep was extremely convenient. Food - During our cocktail hour, Giulio asked us if we would like to go see the food being prepared. This was such a cool experience. There’s a small house with a kitchen on the property tucked away, where three chefs were wildly preparing the most aromatic herbs, meats, and vegetables. Everyone talks about how Italian food is great, but having a personal chef (and Giulio’s little brother) prepare our wedding dinner was an absolute treat. The food was remarkable - fresh and delicious. The desserts were out of this world - tiramisu, cheesecake, panna cotta. Oh my goodness. Housekeeper - The lovely Emma helped clean up after our little messes each day, and I cannot thank her enough for this amazing service. She was always energetic and funny. She also was so thoughtful and really went above and beyond for us. Emma drove two of our friends, who arrived before anyone else, to the grocery store. Later that week, she also helped us with a flat tire -...
