Celebrating Two Decades of ToscanaFesta Crafting Unforgettable Destination Events
Imagine standing amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany, surrounded by lush vineyards and historic villas, as you exchange vows with the love of your life. For the past 20 years, ToscanaFesta has been making dreams like this come true. Founded on passion, expertise, and an intimate knowledge of Tuscany, our destination event company has orchestrated countless weddings and events that are as unique as the couples themselves. In this blog post, we’re celebrating our 20-year anniversary by taking a look back at our journey, exploring why Tuscany is the perfect backdrop for your special day, and sharing the secret ingredients that make ToscanaFesta stand out.
Last summer marked a significant milestone for us—it was exactly 20 years ago that the idea of ToscanaFesta was born. The inspiration came during a vacation on the picturesque island of Capri. I was at a crossroads, eager for a new challenge but still passionate about planning events and destination weddings. It was then that the seed of a family business in the wedding industry was planted. Together with my sister Annemarie, we began to shape our vision and started writing the website that would become the foundation of ToscanaFesta.
Why Tuscany?
The question of “Why Tuscany?” often comes up, and the answer is simple—it’s what we knew best. With half of our team living in the Netherlands and the other half in Tuscany, we had the perfect blend of local expertise and international perspective. This unique setup allowed us to understand precisely what our couples were looking for in their special celebration. Living onsite in Tuscany enabled us to search for unique, romantic, and quintessentially Tuscan wedding venues. We established contacts with town halls in Siena, Castellina in Chianti, and Certaldo for wedding ceremonies, as well as with photographers, musicians, catering companies, and florists.
What Makes Us Stand Out?
Our dual-location advantage set us apart from the beginning. Having one foot in each location guaranteed that every destination event was personalized and infused with local knowledge. We could answer questions and respond to requests with lightning speed. This also meant we could take our guests to incredible, off-the-beaten-track venues with amazing local menus. Our services were, and still are, one of a kind. This blend of professionalism and personalization is what makes ToscanaFesta a standout choice for destination events.
