One Day Isn’t Enough

Why couples are turning to weeklong wedding celebrations in the Italian countryside.

One day simply isn’t enough

We’ve seen it again and again: couples arrive at Poggio Belvedere dreaming of a beautiful wedding — and end up creating a once-in-a-lifetime week.

The destination wedding has evolved. It’s no longer about a single day with a few hours of magic. Our couples want more time, more connection, more memories — and we’re here for it.

Welcome to wedding week in Umbria, where you can slow down, savor the moment, and stretch your celebration into something unforgettable.

A week with your people, not just one day

Our couples arrive and say the same thing: “We just want more time together.”

That’s exactly what a wedding week offers — not just a ceremony and a dinner, but shared wine-soaked lunches, late nights under the stars, spontaneous swims, and quiet mornings sipping coffee with your favorite people.

Whether you're eloping with 10 or inviting 50 of your closest friends and family, Poggio Belvedere becomes yours for the week. Every day curated. Every detail handled.

A sample itinerary — because every week is different

Each wedding week looks a little different, but here’s an idea of what we can create for you:

  • Day 1: Arrival & welcome drinks overlooking the hills

  • Day 2: Organic winery tour & farm-to-table lunch

  • Day 3: Explore Assisi + rehearsal dinner in a hidden hilltop town

  • Day 4: Ceremony & celebration at Poggio Belvedere

  • Day 5: Poolside BBQ with a local butcher and live music

  • Day 6: Truffle hunt or e-bike wine tour, farewell dinner under the stars

Want to switch Assisi for Montepulciano? Swap a castle dinner for a casual pizza night? Make it even longer? We curate every experience around you.

We’re your planners, your team, and your insiders

We’re not just a venue. We’re your behind-the-scenes team, bringing international hospitality and local know-how to every detail. With Vero in Italy, you don’t need a third-party wedding planner — we’ll coordinate it all.

What we handle:

  • Trusted local florists + stylists

  • Photographer & makeup artist bookings

  • Off-site accommodation for larger groups

  • Wine tours, transport, dining, and hidden local gems

  • Private chef nights, castle dinners, olive oil tastings, and more

Whether you want something rustic, refined, or a mix of both, we’ve done it — and we’ll do it beautifully for you.

It’s a trend — but it’s here to stay

Weeklong wedding experiences are no longer rare. They’re becoming the standard — and not just for elopements.

Couples want ease, time, beauty, and quality. They want a celebration that reflects them — and we believe that shouldn’t be squeezed into one day.

This isn’t just a destination. It’s your home for the week. Your canvas. Your retreat.
