Kelsey and Stefano’s wedding at Podere Calvaiola, in Montecatini Val di Cecina in the Province of Pisa, felt joyful, intimate, and deeply personal.
Set in a historic Tuscan stone estate dating back to 1750, carefully restored while preserving its original character, the venue offered panoramic views over the hills and the kind of atmosphere that makes a destination wedding in Tuscany feel both elegant and welcoming.
An International Wedding in Tuscany
She is American, he is Italian, and their wedding brought together friends and family from different parts of the world for a celebration that felt warm, relaxed, and full of meaning.
The ceremony took place in the garden and was led by a close friend, giving the whole moment a spontaneous and heartfelt feeling.
Afterward, everyone gathered for a spritz toast in the Tuscan air before the celebration unfolded across the estate’s indoor and outdoor spaces.
Golden Light, Dinner, and Celebration
One of the most beautiful parts of the day was the light just before dinner: that soft, golden glow of the Tuscan hills, warm and lingering, wrapping the landscape and the guests in a magical pre-dinner atmosphere.
As evening arrived, dinner felt like a true Italian summer night — long tables, beautiful food, and so many speeches from family and friends, each one adding even more emotion to the celebration.
Later, the party moved into the limonaia for a night of big dancing and pure joy.
