The wedding in Puglia
People ask me why the wedding in Puglia is so special. In the last years I got an idea. I think the wedding in Puglia is special for two main reasons. The first: in Puglia we love weddings so much, so all the vendors are used to treating the wedding day in a sacredness way. Yes, in theme of weddings, Puglia really doesn’t need lessons!
The second reason is THE LIGHT. A natural intense glow, reflected in the white stone construction, is this same reason that leads many people to come here in holidays, buy a farm house, and stay there for life. This light warms the body and soothes the soul.
Puglia is right, but where?
You’re thinking Yes Puglia, but where? The crystalline sea of Salento, or the wild nature of Gargano? The history of the Land of Bari, or the Trulli in the Valle d’Itria? It isn’t an easy choice, but it will be a true success!

Italian and foreign couples may enjoy of this special treatment that Puglia reserves to wedding planning.
There are even restaurants specialized in wedding receptions. They offer to the couples very organized and perfect services. No need to think about anything, they think to all. They have an indoor kitchen and you can choose between different menu options. Lot of these restaurants give you an indoor wedding planner, which will assist you for the day. Sometimes this service is included in the price, sometimes not.
If you are searching for highest level of customization, you can opt for different accommodations (private villas, bed & breakfasts, farmhouses, cottages, restaurants by the sea, beaches….), which don’t deal exclusively weddings but they are accustomed to this kind of requests. In some cases they have an indoor kitchen, in other cases you will choose an external catering service. It is such a personalized service, so the organization could be more complicated …. but also much more fun. And the result will be no doubt very chic! In these cases I really recommend you to engage a professional wedding planner!

Puglia is an exclusive place to have a destination wedding, so you should book early all the suppliers. Arrange for a wedding takes a few months, but if you don’t want the risk that suppliers you’ve chosen would already engaged for the day of your wedding, you should move at least one year before.
What do you have to book before? Church, venue, photographer, florist or wedding planner? It depends on you! What’s your priority? Ask yourself what you could never give up: do you want to celebrate the ceremony necessarily in a particular Church? Do you can’t really imagine your wedding without that photographer? Anyway, I recommend you to engaged the Wedding Planner for first.
ADVICE! Keep in mind that all the suppliers have a lot of work during the summer wedding season (from May to October). So, if you want organize a perfect wedding, you should define all details by April.
