If you imagine a whimsical outdoor elopement ceremony in a garden, there is a special area around Château Monfort’s glass dome that could be a perfect spot for your elopement or intimate wedding. It can accommodate 20-25 people.
Wedding reception spots
The Lounge Bar Mezzanotte of the hotel is ideal for wedding receptions. It’s designed with a spacious elevated area in front that can be your stage where you and your spouse can sit in the middle while the musicians can stay on the side. On top of this unique venue for small weddings in Italy is a dome-shaped structure covered in glass. It’s a great architectural element of Chateau Monfort since it allows all the light in during daytime. At night, it lends a view to the starry sky of Italy, making your wedding even more magical.
If you’re having a n elopement with zero to twenty guests, you can hold the festivities at the Rubacuori by Venissa restaurant. This is a much smaller and more intimate area of the venue that is divided into three rooms. All of which have pastel-colored wallpapers, classy furniture, and intricate chandeliers. To give you an idea, picture a room with the finest Italian wines displayed in a century-old cabinet.
