The base package is a complete foundation for your elopement. You can add elements to match your priorities.
| Extra | Best For | How It Affects the Package |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Videography | Couples who want to capture the vows and private dinner atmosphere in motion. | We add a 5-hour videography package from a trusted creative partner to match your photography coverage. |
| Live Musicians | Adding a classic, elegant feel to the ceremony and dinner. | A solo violinist or harpist is most common and works well with the garden acoustics. |
| Ceremony Florals | Defining the ceremony space with more than personal florals. | Simple, freestanding arrangements are best. The venue has strict rules on installations, which we manage. |
| Legal Paperwork Assistance | Couples who want a legally binding civil marriage in Italy. | This requires a separate town hall ceremony. We coordinate the appointments and paperwork. |
| Guest Management | Elopements with a small number of guests (up to 10). | This adds significant costs for venue fees, catering, and coordination. We manage all details. |
| Private Wine Tasting | Experiencing the famous wines of the Valpolicella region. | We can arrange a private tasting at a local winery on a day before or after your elopement. |
Planning an elopement at Villa Rizzardi requires understanding its specific operational realities. We manage these for you.
This is a sample schedule for a late afternoon elopement that includes the on-site dinner. Timings are adjusted based on the season and sunset.
It includes full planning, 5 hours of exclusive garden access, a private dinner for two, 5 hours of photography, a celebrant, personal florals, and hair and makeup. That figure is the starting Villa Rizzardi elopement package price for two on a weekday.
This package is designed for an intimate experience for two. It can be adapted for a very small group (up to 10 guests), but this will significantly increase the final cost due to higher venue fees, per-person catering costs, and additional rentals. We can provide a custom quote.
A legally binding civil ceremony cannot take place inside the historic gardens. To be legally married, you must have a ceremony at a local town hall (Comune). We can add legal paperwork assistance and town hall coordination to your package.
For Villa Rizzardi, we recommend booking 12 to 18 months in advance. Securing exclusive rental of a national monument requires significant lead time, especially for popular dates. This timeline also ensures we can book our best creative partners for you.
The dinner is set up at a private table in a beautiful, secluded part of the gardens. The exact location is chosen based on the season and light to provide the best atmosphere, and it is pre-approved by the venue management to ensure compliance with their historic preservation rules.
To start, we confirm exclusive Villa Rizzardi availability for your preferred dates.
We then prepare a detailed proposal from the €12,450 starting package, with the full experience, costs, and next steps for your private garden elopement and dinner.
