For a couple who loves to travel around the world, a destination wedding is a no-brainer. Andrei and Pearl’s passion for trotting the globe has brought them to 16 countries together, so far, in the span of four years before tying the knot. This couple enjoys visiting museums, relishing the view of breathtaking landscapes, and of course dining with good food and wine. That’s why the Italian region of Tuscany is their destination of choice. As Pearl was researching for possible venues, they discovered a hidden gem in Tuscany, a villa in the hill town of San Gimignano.
“Tuscany is known for rolling hills, medieval towns, great wine, traditional food and the sunset. So, we came up with a wedding itinerary in which all our guests can have a full Tuscan experience,” says Pearl.

Andrei and Pearl kicked-off their wedding celebration with a farm-to-fork dining experience. It was a lovely restaurant Pearl discovered by chance while doing their venue site visit. “You’ll only know what’s being served on the day as their menu depends on their farm’s fresh produce. They also make their own wine,” Pearl shares.

The couple and their guests couldn’t leave Italy without having gelato. So, Andrei and Pearl treated their friends and family to a delicious brunch with a gelato cart. Pearl calls it the “perfect post-wedding party and hangover cure.”
