WHY PUGLIA is perfect for a destination wedding?

Italy is known for its boot shape. Deep in the south of the country lies Puglia, an agricultural region with incredibly charming architecture, full of rustic farmhouses, unique castles, elegant & high quality villas and churches that could not be more special. Puglia is automatically associated with a beautiful sea and the typical white trulli. Italy truly offers the perfect setting for any wedding, the perfect location in almost any style and for any budget. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small elopement with the family or a big wedding with 100 guests. Everyone will find the right way to celebrate their wedding here.

Every corner of Italy offers a perfect selection of wedding venues for your destination wedding in Italy. However, the sheer volume of choice can be overwhelming. So in this article, I have focused specifically on the Puglia region of southern Italy and listed the most stunning & exlusive wedding venues for you, based on recommendations from great colleagues, wedding planners and my own experience. From amazing Wedding Villas with a View to charming Masserias you will find everything on this Guide for your perfect Puglia Wedding Venue for 2025 /2026.

Puglia, or southern Italy in general, has an incredibly pleasant climate. In principle, open-air weddings are not a problem in Puglia from March to November. In winter, however, the temperature can drop to ‘only’ 15 degrees. A last-minute wedding or an elopement, just the two of you, is no longer a problem thanks to the very good structures now in place in the towns and cities.

Puglia, like the majority of Italy’s regions, is very easy to reach by all means of transport.

It is difficult to give an exact figure for a wedding in Italy. Many factors influence the cost of your wedding, such as the location, the number of guests, the duration of your wedding and your choice of suppliers. As a rough guide for approximately 60 people, you can estimate a good €50,000. There is no upper limit. It’s best to work with a good wedding planner who will keep an eye on your budget.

WHAT TYPES OF Puglia WEDDING VENUES ARE THERE?

In Puglia you will find a huge choice of different types of locations for your wedding. The masserie are definitely one of the ‘cultural treasures’ of Puglia & Southern Italy. Also typical of southern Italy are the beautiful castles, often lovingly restored, which will impress you and your guests with their sheer size and spaciousness.

For those who prefer to get married by the sea, southern Italy is the place to be. Puglia is largely on the Adriatic coast, making it perfect for your seaside wedding.
