Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese has announced an “Italian Luxury Takeover Wedding” in collaboration with wedding planner Roberta Torresan. This three-night Roman wedding buyout allows guests to reserve the entire property for their festivities, offering a total of 78 rooms and suites within the former 19th century Roman palace.

The luxury experience begins on arrival for the couple with pre-wedding massages. The package also includes a rehearsal dinner for up to 45 guests at Settimo, the rooftop fine-dining restaurant. The next day, the ceremony will be held in a Baroque church where the bride enters by organist. An over-the-top reception follows at one of Rome’s most exclusive villas. The evening’s dinner includes multiple courses of the couples’ choosing, followed by an extensive Italian dessert buffet.

Entertainment includes musical performances throughout the event, including a dinner show and a cake-cutting ceremony complete with a dancer. The festivities conclude with a lively band and DJ set where a custom-built dance floor will invite guests to celebrate into the night. Dedicated transportation services provide seamless movement between the church, villa and Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese. The entire event is captured by professional photographers and videographers, using both traditional and drone technology to provide comprehensive coverage from aerial views to intimate moments.

The event will be orchestrated under the guidance of Roberta Torresan and her team. This encompasses the selection and customization of venues, negotiating contracts, and fine-tuning every detail to suit the couple’s preferences. In collaboration with chefs, Torresan’s team designs a personalized menu, including pre-wedding tastings that allow the couple to finalize their culinary choices. The team coordinates with florists and decorators to finalize floral arrangements and thematic decorations. Additionally, they manage all external vendors, including musicians for the evening’s entertainment, photographers, videographers and transportation services.

Sofitel Rome Villa Borghese’s top suites are included in the property buyout, offering accommodations with expansive terraces and an outdoor jacuzzi. Wedding guests can enjoy views of some of Rome’s famed landmarks from the comfort of their private hot tub. The location offers easy access to many of Rome’s main attractions including the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Villa Medici.

The “Italian Luxury Takeover Wedding” starts at €399,000 (approximately $430,000) for the services listed above.
