FAQ — best Puglia wedding venues
1. Can I have both the ceremony and reception in the same venue?
Yes! Many masserie and resorts in Puglia offer both ceremony and reception spaces. This is especially convenient for guests, reduces travel between locations, and allows for a more cohesive experience. Some venues even have beautiful outdoor terraces and gardens for the ceremony, followed by dinner and dancing in a courtyard or banquet hall.
2. Are there venues with accommodation for guests?
Absolutely. Many Puglia venues offer on-site accommodation for couples and guests. Luxury masserie often provide suites, rooms, or even villas within the property. This is ideal for destination weddings, as it keeps everyone close and creates a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
3. What is the best season to get married in Puglia?
The most popular months are late spring (May–June) and early fall (September–October). During these periods, the weather is warm and sunny, but not too hot. Summer (July–August) can be very warm and busy, while winter weddings are quieter, though some venues may be closed.
4. Do venues provide catering or do I need an external caterer?
Most Puglia wedding venues offer in-house catering with menus that showcase local cuisine, including fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and seasonal produce. Some venues allow external caterers, but it’s always best to check in advance. Many couples love the idea of pairing local wines and olive oil tastings with their wedding menu.
5. How far are Puglia wedding venues from airports?
The main airports are Bari (BRI) and Brindisi (BDS). Most venues are within 30–60 minutes from these airports, making travel convenient for international guests. Always check transportation options, especially if your guests are staying in different towns.
