Masseria Pistola, Puglia
There is no place more romantic than the Italian region of Puglia during the spring and autumn months. And there is no location more ideal for a dream wedding than Masseria Pistola, a magnificent ten-bedroom family home and estate with breathtaking views of the beautiful Canale Di Pirro Valley. This lovingly restored 18th century farmhouse boasts four hectares of private gardens that surround the house in every direction.

Adare Manor, Co. Limerick, Ireland
A fairytale castle set in 840 acres of gently rolling parkland in the heart of Ireland, nestled on the banks of the glittering River Maigue, the 5-star Adare Manor is a magical place for couples to celebrate their new life together. Truly luxurious accommodations, a spectacular menu of food and wine tailored to individual tastes by master chefs and sommeliers and sensational views all combine to create an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a small gathering for close friends and family or a showstopping event of royal proportions, the wedding team here will manage every lovingly chosen detail. Adare Manor’s gorgeous event spaces have been created to allow this flexibility, from the grand 350-capacity Grand Ballroom, with its sweeping staircase, marble floors and crystal chandeliers, to the enchanting Walled Gardens. Guest can even make the Manor House their very own for a whole wedding weekend.
Nihi Sumba, Indonesia
Nihi Sumba sits on 567 acres of largely untouched jungle on the remote western coast of Sumba Island in eastern Indonesia, close to the Komodo National Park. Here the team can accommodate the most intimate wedding or support a resort-wide takeover. Whether it’s marrying on Nihi Sumba’s long stretch of beach, in the mystical rain forest or clifftop above the ocean, colourful local traditions characterise every part of the proceedings. Village priests lead the ceremony, which includes cultural beliefs such as chewing local betel nut, a marriage ritual symbolising the sealing of the union, similar to the exchanging of rings. Other features such as Sumbanese wedding garments, fire dancers or a ceremonial march of horses or water buffalo can all be incorporated for an authentic, and euphoric, celebration.
