A wine themed wedding in Langhe

This month we would love to tell you about a very special wedding we planned at the beginning of September in the heart of Langhe region: Matt and Katie’s wedding.

I met Matt and Katie about one year ago in Alba and I immediately got in my mind the idea of what they were looking for.

When we met they had in their minds a clear idea of their perfect reception venue.
As both of them work in the wine world they are very good fiends of Gaja Wines family and they got the special permission to hire their wonderful castle in Barbaresco for their reception.

A unique occasion!
It was clear since the very beginning the the main theme of the wedding had to be Piemonte Gaja wines!
Starting from this we planned with Katie and Matt every single detail to let them have a perfect event.

Katie is a wonderful American girl and Matt is coming from New Zealand they choose this special spot of Italy for their passion for this wonderful vines landscapes and delicious food and wine you can appreciate here.

The whole party arrived from all over the world to be welcomed with wine tastings, visits to local cellars and villages and a nice rehearsal dinner just in the vines… but the best is still to come!

On the day of the wedding Katie and her bridesmaids arrived to the Castello of Gaja family for the getting ready and here wonderful photo service by Photo27 started!

The ceremony was held in the grounds of the Castello overlooking Barbaresco vines.
A wonderful ceremony performed by our celebrants Giuseppe and Diane that planned for them a special ceremony of the wine where bride and groom needed to pour wine from two glassed into a single one to symbolize their union.

Wonderful country flowers and magic music of the wonderful string trio were the frame of this lovely moment.

After that some nice and funny pictures in the pretty village of Barbaresco and the aperitif and dinner can start!
The meal was prepared by famous Chef Davide Palluda – a Michelin star Chef – and is great staff.
Food was just amazing and was a little gastronomic tour in the specialities of Piemonte cuisine accompanied by great Gaja wines.
Bride and groom and their guests had 8 different wines during the meal to match every single course Chef Davide Palluda prepared.

In the meanwhile our string trio pleased the atmosphere with some italian classical and more modern music that everybody really enjoyed.
Dinner was served in the court of the Castello and totally en lit by our Light Engineering experts to create a natural but stunning illumination for both dinner and dances afterwards.

Right after some speeches the wedding cake!
Katie and Matt chose a traditional hazelnuts wedding cake called Diabella a delicious dessert of Piemonte region.

Dances and fun afterward with lights and a great dj set.

Photo27 team stayed with us all day to document this great event with amazing shots. Thank you very much to all of them!
