Villa Cora, Florence
Tuscany, ItalyOur Story
A journey of two hearts that found each other across sunlit cobblestones and quiet evenings.
The First Meeting
We met at a small cafe in Rome during a mutual friend's birthday gathering. Daniel spilled espresso on Sophia's book — and spent the rest of the evening apologising by telling increasingly terrible jokes. She laughed anyway.
The First Date
A walk through the Borghese Gardens, gelato in hand. The conversation never stopped. By sunset, they both knew this was something rare — something real. He walked her home and she invited him in for tea that lasted until 2am.
The Proposal
Back in Florence — the city that felt like theirs — Daniel got down on one knee at the Ponte Vecchio just as the golden hour light spilled across the Arno. She said yes before he finished the sentence.
The Ceremony
Villa Cora Chapel
The ceremony will take place in the breathtaking garden chapel of Villa Cora, nestled in the heart of the Tuscan hills. Doors open 30 minutes before the ceremony begins — please arrive early to find your seat.
The Reception
Grand Ballroom at Villa Cora
Following the ceremony, we invite you to join us for an evening of fine dining, dancing, and celebration in the magnificent ballroom. Cocktail hour begins in the gardens immediately after the ceremony.
The night will feature a curated Italian dinner, live orchestra, and dancing under the stars on the villa's terrace overlooking the city of Florence.
