Elegant wedding venues in Rome | Palazzo Brancaccio

There are weddings that stay in the heart, and this was undoubtedly one of them. A perfect balance between history and modernity, between timeless elegance and design details that made everything even more special. Everything framed these two, who felt like models to me; we connected perfectly, and they posed with elegance and lightheartedness, laughing and moving naturally without any forced moments.

The day began in two different locations: the bride got ready at Palazzo Brancaccio, surrounded by vintage mirrors, frescoes, and period details, while the groom dressed at their home with a friend. The emotion was palpable as he waited for her at the altar of the Basilica of Santo Stefano Rotondo al Celio, one of the most fascinating and unique churches in Rome.

This basilica, with its circular plan and unique architecture, is a true hidden gem of the city. The choice was no coincidence: the bride, being an architect, wanted a place that reflected her love for beauty and history. I loved the contrast between the ancient frescoes, the modern elements of the church, and the flowers they chose, which characterized the decor.

After the ceremony, the reception took place entirely at Palazzo Brancaccio, with an aperitif illuminated by the golden hour in a venue that embodies the charm of aristocratic Rome. This historic palace is a masterpiece of elegance, with its decorated halls, crystal chandeliers, and frescoed ceilings, including the dining hall and the ballroom.

Between toasts, smiles, and dancing under the decorated vaults, the couple celebrated their love in a dreamlike atmosphere. A refined and modern wedding that tells the perfect fusion of history, design, and authentic emotions.
