APPRECIATION POST ⭐
After 10 years, walking through the gates of still feels a little bit like coming home.
It was the place where I married myself a decade ago, and little did I know then that it would become such a huge part of my professional life too.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples celebrate their own wedding days, and every time I return, I’m reminded just how special this place really is.
What makes Castello Monaci extraordinary isn’t just the stunning setting, the gardens, the architecture or the endless Puglian sunshine. It’s the people.
From the directors and management team, and the wedding planning team, the waiting staff, housekeeping and everyone working behind the scenes, there is a genuine warmth that is incredibly rare to find. Many of the team have been there for years, some since the day I got married myself, and after all this time they still greet me by name, ask about my family, and go above and beyond to look after both me and my clients.
The relationship we’ve built over the years is something I never take for granted. In fact, last year I was honoured to help support the venue during ’s maternity leave, something that speaks volumes about the trust, respect and partnership we have developed together over the years.
As wedding planners, we work with many venues throughout our careers. But every now and then, you find one that becomes part of your story too.
Castello Monaci will always be that place for me.
Thank you to every single person who works there for the care, kindness, professionalism and passion you bring to every wedding. Most importantly, thank you for helping create the unforgettable moments that my couples will cherish for a lifetime.
Here’s to many more years, many more weddings, and many more memories together. ❤️
