Annette and Kyle from US chose Rome as the setting for their destination wedding—a city where history, beauty, and romance come together at every turn.
Welcome aperitif
Their wedding weekend began with a relaxed and elegant welcome aperitivo in Trastevere, one of Rome’s most atmospheric neighborhoods. Surrounded by charming cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and the lively energy of Roman evenings, their guests gathered to enjoy an intimate introduction to the celebrations ahead.
The welcome event offered the perfect first glimpse into the couple’s wedding weekend: warm, sophisticated, and unmistakably Roman.
The following day, the celebration continued at Villa Aurelia, a historic villa located on the Janiculum Hill. With its elevated position, beautifully landscaped gardens, and panoramic views over Rome, the venue provided an extraordinary backdrop for Annette and Kyle’s ceremony and reception.
Originally built in the seventeenth century, Villa Aurelia is one of Rome’s most distinguished historic residences. Its elegant architecture, timeless interiors, and lush gardens created an atmosphere of understated luxury, allowing the beauty of the setting to take center stage.
Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Annette and Kyle exchanged vows in an unforgettable Roman setting. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to reflect their style—from the refined floral arrangements and elegant tablescape to the relaxed yet sophisticated flow of the day.
From the intimate welcome aperitivo in Trastevere to the elegant celebration at Villa Aurelia, every moment of Annette and Kyle’s wedding was carefully planned to create a meaningful experience for both the couple and their guests.
Their celebration captured the essence of a destination wedding in Rome: historic venues, exceptional food and wine, unforgettable views, and the effortless beauty of the Eternal City.
It was a weekend filled with connection, elegance, and joyful memories—an Italian wedding experience created entirely around their love story.
