Hosting your dream wedding party: villa or rooftop reception in magical Milan

Written by Martina Mangili

Weddings party are the once-in-a-lifetime event where your unique love story becomes a majestic celebration. The venue is the stage that sets the scene for this unforgettable moment, so let's explore the perks of two stunning options in Milan: charming villas and exclusive rooftops.

Enchanting villas: elegance meets nature

Imagine a sprawling villa just outside Milan, surrounded by lush gardens, where the harmony of nature enriches your matrimonial bliss. The building itself holds a timeless charm, an exclusive space for you and your guests to share an evening of perfect happiness. The perks of choosing a villa deftly intertwine the lure of nature, luxury, and privacy. Villas usually offer vast spaces, perfect for large wedding parties, with separate areas for distinct event phases. Your guests can enjoy cocktail hour in a manicured garden, relish a gourmet meal in an opulent dining hall, and dance under stars in an open courtyard. The picturesque settings create a spectacular backdrop for your wedding photos. Every corner, every lush tree, and the patina of age on the villa captures and accentuates the grandeur of your love journey in pictures. This unique setting has also the added bonus of shielding you against unexpected poor weather: if rainfall, wind or low temperatures were to make outdoors celebrations or wedding photos impractical, you would always have the option of moving your guests indoors and still get to enjoy a seamless experience, with the same level of elegance and comfort.

Rooftop receptions: enjoy Milan’s skyline as your stage

Now, let's fly from the outskirts to the heart of Milan and envisage a rooftop wedding—a modish option offering panoramic vistas of this vibrant city's skyline. This is probably the best option if you want a distinctly metropolitan event, with the whole city as the backdrop for your wedding photoshoot. Choosing a rooftop means embracing a modern aesthetic within an urban setting. Your guests will be sipping Prosecco, bathed in the golden hues of sunset as the city's skyline twinkles beneath the impending night sky—an unforgettable sight! Rooftop venues often come with state-of-the-art amenities and sleek design aesthetics that call for space-aware decor. They usually work extremely well with unconventional set-up choices and less traditional vibes. Planning your wedding reception in the city centre also offers numerous logistical advantages, such as easy accessibility, nearby accommodation options for guests who are travelling to join you, and inherently being at the heart of Milan’s nightlife for an after-party. More than just a venue, it's an immersive experience, placing your wedding in the context of the pulsating city life that stirs romance in its unique ways.

Finding YOUR perfect place: must-follow criteria

Whether a villa or rooftop, choose a venue that matches your personality and taste. Here's what to keep top of mind when selecting your wedding reception’s location:

  1. Venue Capacity: Your guest list determines whether the intimate nature of a rooftop or the extensive space of a villa suits your wedding better. You don’t want your guests to be packed like sardines, but you also don’t want wedding photos in which the venue appears empty and the event poorly attended.

  3. Practicalities/Legalities: Both categories of venues come with their set of required permits and logistical factors, which a professional venue-sourcing service could help you navigate.
  4. Catering: Does the venue allow outside caterers? Or does it offe a comprehensive, in-house service? And what’s your preferred option? Assess the flexibility you need and if the venue aligns with it.
  5. Budget: Though it seems obvious, make sure your chosen venue aligns with your budget, inclusive of venue decor and other additional costs.
