Blessings/Symbolic
Ceremonies without legal or civil restrictions, and therefore are performed by a Master of Ceremonies, rather than a clergyman or state official. The ceremony suits couples who have already had a civil or church ceremony, but is also perfect for those who wish to renew their wedding vows for an anniversary. Your blessing can be celebrated in various locations on the grounds.

• In the gardens overlooking the hills - the grounds can be used for spectacular outdoor ceremonies with views over the Tuscan hills.
  Capacity: up to 100 chairs (white skirted chairs)
• La Scuderia - in the event of bad weather, your ceremony can take place in the Scuderia room

This can possibly be done in the morning of the same day as the religious ceremony or day(s) before. The church in Siena is a 45 min drive - about 40 kilometers.
