When Sara and Freddy began planning their wedding, they envisioned a celebration that blended timeless elegance, personal touches, and a party to remember. Their hearts led them to Villa Miani in Rome, a venue that offers breathtaking views of the Eternal City, sprawling gardens, and an atmosphere that’s both romantic and exclusive.
Perched high above the city, Villa Miani is the kind of venue that makes a statement before guests even step inside. This nineteenth century villa offers breathtaking panoramic views of Rome in addition to its stunning architecture. Its grand exterior, lush landscaping, and ornate fountains set the tone for a celebration filled with beauty and timeless sophistication. With multiple spaces for ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions, couples can create a seamless flow to the day without ever leaving the property.
Planning a wedding abroad doesn’t mean you can’t bring pieces of home with you. Sara and Freddy knew they wanted their wedding to feel uniquely theirs, and they infused the celebration with unforgettable details that wowed their guests. During the Mother/Son dance, the groom’s grandfather filled the air with smooth jazz, creating a heartfelt moment that will be cherished for years to come.
Their first dance was nothing short of magical, as cold sparks cascaded from the rooftop of the villa, creating a glittering waterfall of light against the elegant walls. The night continued with an epic afterparty, kicked off by Freddy’s DJ partner from Louis the Child and joined by other renowned DJs, keeping the energy high and the dance floor alive until 3 AM. Theirs was a celebration guests won’t soon forget!
For their reception, over 200 guests dined at tables dressed in textured neutrals, allowing the glittering cityscape to take center stage. Soft candlelight, romantic florals, and refined décor created an intimate yet grand atmosphere. We took Sara & Freddy’s vision, teamed up with some incredible partners, and helped plan their dream celebration.
“Everything was so beyond perfect it was even better than I could have ever imagined! All the guests can’t stop saying it was the best wedding they have ever witnessed! Freddy and I are so thankful for the WHE team this was all possible because of you guys!” – Sara
If you’re considering a destination wedding, Villa Miani offers more than a beautiful setting. It’s an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The venue’s privacy, expansive grounds, and versatile event spaces allow couples to host every part of their celebration in one location. You can exchange vows at sunset and dance under the stars without ever leaving the property.
Rome’s rich history, world-class cuisine, and endless cultural treasures lie just beyond the villa’s gates. The celebration can easily spill into unforgettable shared adventures. Imagine strolling ancient cobblestone streets hand in hand or sipping espresso in sunlit piazzas. End the night toasting your new life together as the city lights twinkle below.
When in Rome, your wedding becomes more than a single day. It’s the joyful start of your marriage, built on memories you will cherish forever.
