A real wedding, here

September 2026: Gary and Alexandra, who came from far away

Gary and Alexandra arrived from abroad with their families and closest friends, and spent the wedding days here. The morning in the manor house, getting ready, the red shoes and the perfume; then the civil ceremony in the garden, vows read into a microphone in front of everyone.

The afternoon among the rows of the vineyard and in the olive grove, as the light went down. In the evening the luminarie lit on the terrace, the cake on the lawn, sparkling wine in a row of glasses, and dancing in the courtyard until late.

The film and the photographs are by Ciak Fotografia, who followed them all day long.

03Come when you canOne visit is enough, and it is worth it: tasting the wines and the dishes, the rooms, the places. If you cannot make it, the video and the family who answered you will do.

The legal side

You really get married here

The masseria is an official civil wedding venue (Casa Comunale) of the Municipality of Andria: civil weddings and civil unions celebrated here are fully valid, also for couples who live abroad or hold a foreign passport. A delegate of the Mayor officiates, among the olive trees.

The paperwork depends on your country and citizenship: usually a certificate of no impediment or a sworn statement from your consulate, your passports, and a declaration at the registry office in the days before. We send you the right list for you and tell you whom to contact.

Already married at home? Then it is a symbolic ceremony, with the same words and the same olive trees. Religious ceremonies take place in church, in Andria or in Trani, where the cathedral stands by the sea: afterwards the celebration continues here.

Sleeping, and the days around

Those who travel far sleep here

In the manor house there are 8 double rooms and the bridal suite with its terrace, looking onto the old threshing floor beneath the pine grove, with Castel del Monte on the horizon. They are yours: you decide who sleeps there, parents, witnesses, the friends with the longest flight.

For everyone else there are Andria, 15 minutes away, Trani on the sea and the countryside around Castel del Monte: we send you an up-to-date list of places we trust, and shuttles run between them and the masseria.

Guests who arrive two days early will not be idle: the winery, the olive mill, a dinner among the olive trees. These are our experiences, and a member of the family always goes with you.

Questions from abroad

What couples abroad ask us

Can we legally get married at the masseria if we live abroad?

Yes. The masseria is an official civil wedding venue (Casa Comunale) of the Municipality of Andria: civil weddings and civil unions celebrated here are fully valid, also for couples who live abroad or hold a foreign passport. The paperwork depends on your country and citizenship: we send you the list and point you to the right office. If you have already married at home, you can choose a symbolic ceremony.

How do we plan a wedding from a distance?

Write to us with the date you have in mind and the number of guests: within two working days we reply, in English, with availability and a tailor-made proposal. Then a video call to build the day together, and a visit whenever you can come. From the moment you confirm, you have a private online area: schedule, menu, your guests’ RSVPs and a shared album, all in one place.

Which airport should we fly to?

Bari: from the airport to the masseria it is about 50 minutes by car. Brindisi is about an hour and three quarters away. By train, Andria is about an hour from Bari Centrale, then a 15-minute taxi ride.

Where do our guests sleep?

In the masseria’s manor house there are 8 double rooms and the bridal suite: you decide who sleeps there. For everyone else there are Andria, 15 minutes away, Trani on the sea at about 25, and the countryside around Castel del Monte: we send you an up-to-date list of places we trust. Shuttles between the accommodation and the masseria can be arranged.

Do we have to visit before booking?

We recommend it, but it is not compulsory: many couples decide after a video call and come once, before the wedding, also for the tasting and to choose the wines. When you come, a member of the family always welcomes you.

Which months are best for a wedding in Puglia?

From May to October you can be outdoors all day; July and August are hot and evening celebrations work best. We host one event a day and the most requested dates go first: write to us as soon as you have an idea. If the weather changes, every moment of the day has its plan B here at the masseria.

Can we add a religious ceremony?

Religious ceremonies take place in church: in Andria or in the nearby towns, such as Trani, where the cathedral stands by the sea. After the ceremony, the celebration continues at the masseria. For the civil ceremony there is no need to move: it is held here.
