Are you dreaming of a destination wedding? My husband and I got married in Italy in 2021, planning everything ourselves all the way from California. Looking back, I wish we had discovered Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo; a magical estate with an onsite team ready to make every detail of your day exactly how you’ve dreamt of it.
If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding, this estate near Urbino (a UNESCO Heritage Site) in the Marche region offers an idyllic setting. Nestled among rolling hills, vineyards, and oak trees, it will immerse you and your guests in the natural beauty of Italy. The estate can accommodate weddings from anywhere from 50 to 200 guests, whether you envision a civil, symbolic, or religious ceremony.
A Historic Church and Stunning Gardens

One of the estate’s most special features is its consecrated church, dedicated to the Saints Giacomo and Filippo, which gives the property its name. Dating back to 1300 and adorned with ancient artwork inside, the church can seat up to 50 people. For a more open-air celebration, the surrounding gardens provide a stunning backdrop for your ceremony, aperitivo, or wedding photos.
Endless Beautiful Spaces for Your Celebration
The property offers countless picturesque corners for your wedding. Imagine exchanging vows under the ancient oaks, sipping cocktails by the outdoor pool, or taking your wedding portraits in the botanical garden. Their organic vineyards stretch across the hillsides, and three lakes provide a beautiful setting for your unforgettable day. Whether you want an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, every corner of Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo is your palette.
Onsite Accommodations for You and Your Guests
One of the estate’s biggest advantages is the onsite accommodations. With 30 rooms and suites, the estate allows you and your guests exclusive access to breakfast, the wellness center with holistic treatments, absolutely breathtaking gardens and outdoor spaces, plus their onsite lakeside restaurant – Ristorante Urbino dei Laghi. Waking up in the heart of this estate, surrounded by the rolling hills and nature of Marche, would make your wedding weekend feel like a true Italian escape. What more could you ask for when dreaming of a destination wedding?
Curated Experiences for Every Couple
The team at Tenuta Santi Giacomo e Filippo can help craft the perfect wedding experience. From a lively pool party with professional bartenders to an intimate pizza night or an organic wine tasting perfectly paired with a meal celebrating the flavors of Marche – every single event is tailored to you. Their expertise ensures your wedding isn’t just a celebration, but an experience your guests will never forget.
If I’d known about this estate back in 2021, I would plan our ceremony under the ancient oak trees, toast with an aperitivo in the gardens, and enjoy dinner at a long table among the vineyards.
