Villa Le Corti Wedding Cost (2027): Prices & Capacity

Villa Le Corti is the Corsini family's 17th-century villa and wine estate at San Casciano in Val di Pesa, twenty minutes south of Florence at the top of Chianti Classico. The house is built around a square courtyard with a columned loggia on all four sides, and the grounds add an 11,000-square-metre lawn, an enclosed Italian Garden, the Romantic Gardens and a cypress avenue. It is rented for the wedding day, not as a residence.

The 2027 Saturday rental is €9,000 plus 22% VAT, €10,980 all in, for up to 150 guests until 1 am; the catering, bar and everything else is yours to bring, Principe Corsini wines are compulsory, and the courtyard takes a wooden floor and a retractable cover for €3,500 plus VAT. Two farmhouses on the estate sleep 20, booked separately. It is the lowest-commitment way into a grand Chianti villa with Florence hotels twenty minutes away.

Le Corti is the Chianti villa without the buyout. For €10,980 you have a Corsini house for the day, the courtyard with its loggia as the dinner room, the Italian Garden or the cypress avenue for the ceremony and the lawn for drinks, and guests sleep in Florence or San Casciano and come out for the evening. The courtyard's floor and cover are real weather infrastructure, which is rare at this price.

What you take on is the production: caterer, bar, rentals, lighting, attendants, all contracted around the venue, with the estate's wine the one fixed point. Eighty to 120 is the size, where the courtyard works and the shuttles are simple; at 150 ask for the covered-courtyard drawing with tables, bar and dance floor before signing. The farmhouses sleep 20 for the family. Music ends at 1 am and the civil ceremony happens elsewhere.

A single event rental before VAT, plus a schedule of services priced per item. Food, drink, furniture, production and staff are all outside the base fee.

Planning ranges for one Saturday wedding with the platform and cover, catering at €210 to €300 a head, planner, florals, rentals and production, photography, music, shuttles and venue extras. They exclude accommodation, a welcome dinner, flights and attire.

One hundred and fifty is the planning limit, with the courtyard as the room and the gardens as the settings.

The courtyard with its cover and the salons that open off it, which is a better position than most villas at this price; the cover can be confirmed three working days out. The courtyard is not heated under the standard schedule, so spring and autumn want the interior heating line. Ask for the covered layout for your number with tables, service routes, bar, band and dance floor; at 150 that drawing is the decision.

Two farmhouses on the estate sleep 20: Le Gugliaie with eight en-suite doubles, a kitchen and its own pool, and Lo Sperone with a double and a twin. They are booked separately from the rental. Everyone else stays in San Casciano or Florence, with one or two shuttle hubs.

Your caterer runs food, drink and mise en place, using the villa kitchen for €305, and Principe Corsini wines are poured throughout; ask for the wedding wine list and the rules on Champagne and spirits. Everything else is yours to choose, and a planner is worth hiring to coordinate a venue that supplies the setting and little else. Budget the attendants: a restroom attendant is recommended, two park attendants above 100 guests, and security on request.

The rental runs to 1 am. Extra hours are €610 each and do not automatically extend amplified music; agree sound, bar and departure for any extension.

Ceremonies in the cypress avenue, on the lawn or in the Italian Garden are symbolic, and the park and gardens host religious blessings by arrangement. Villa Le Corti is not on San Casciano's list of authorised civil locations, so the legal marriage happens at the Comune or at Villa Il Poggiale nearby. Non-Italian couples need a Nulla Osta, an Atto Notorio and certified translations; allow 60 to 90 days.

Run coaches from one or two hubs with two return departures before the 1 am close, and agree vehicle size and the loading point with the estate; the lawn has three entrances but a coach needs room to turn.

Late May, June and early September for the gardens. July and August are hot on the lawn and want a late ceremony. September and October lean on the courtyard cover and the heating line.

Best for: 80 to 120 guests; a one-day Chianti villa wedding at a fraction of a buyout; Florence as the base; a courtyard that floors and covers; your own suppliers.

Things to consider: the fee buys the house and nothing else; compulsory estate wine; 20 beds, booked separately; no covered capacity published at 150; 1 am; the legal ceremony is elsewhere; exclusivity of the estate's visitor operations to confirm.
