Thank you all so much, from the bottom of our hearts, for one of the most memorable and exceptional weeks of our lives. Villa Baroncino will always be a wonderful memory for our families and friends, as well as for Garrett and me. We are so grateful for the time we got to spend there, and for how easy and seamless everything felt during our stay. Everyone had nothing but high praise for the food, wine, property, amenities, pool, organization, the wedding itself, and you, Marco!
Marco, Cristina, and the staff made everyone feel so welcomed and accommodated so many of our requests, which is no small feat. What you’ve built with Romantic Italian Weddings is truly something special, and we’re so grateful that two years ago we took a leap of faith and sent our deposit without ever seeing the venue in person.
Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your wedding season. Please let us know if that journalist ever reaches out; we’d be more than happy to do a video interview if needed.
We hope to stay in touch. Here are some pictures for the Instagram, Cristina. We’ll have more in a month, and can send along any additional ones once Mark shares his shots with us.
Grazie mille!
Brianna and Garrett

Dear Brianna & Garrett ❤️
Reading your message has been one of the greatest rewards of our entire wedding season.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to write such beautiful words. Knowing that Villa Baroncino will always remain a special memory not only for the two of you, but also for your families and friends, means more to us than I can express.
When you booked your wedding almost two years ago without ever seeing the venue in person, you placed an incredible amount of trust in us. We never forgot that responsibility, and receiving your message today tells me that together we achieved exactly what we had hoped for.
On behalf of Cristina, Andrea, Bruno, our chefs, our service staff, and the entire Romantic Italian Weddings family, thank you for allowing us to be part of such an important chapter of your lives.
I'm also delighted that you are happy to speak with the journalist. I'll keep you updated as soon as I receive confirmation from the Municipality of Cortona. I truly believe your story deserves to be told—it is a beautiful reminder that sometimes life brings people back to the very place where everything first began.
And thank you so much for sending these wonderful photos! They are absolutely beautiful. Please thank Mark as well, and whenever you receive the full gallery, we'd love to see more. With your permission, we'll proudly share some of them on our social media so that your love story can inspire many future couples.
I truly hope this won't be goodbye, but simply "see you again." Our doors at Villa Baroncino and Villa San Crispolto will always be open for you.
Until next time... thank you for trusting us with your dream.
With all my gratitude,
Marco Bernasconi
Romantic Italian Weddings ❤️
