When a Danish bride and a British groom chose to tie the knot in the rolling hills of central Italy, they set the tone for a destination wedding that was as elegant as it was unforgettable. Maria and Josh hosted 90 of their closest friends and family at the breathtaking San Settimio Reserve in the Marche region – an unspoiled slice of Italian countryside – where they celebrated under a stunning British-made Wills luxury marquee.

This was no ordinary marquee wedding. The couple wanted a timeless, stylish and intimate celebration that combined classic British craftsmanship with the relaxed charm of Italy – and the result was spectacular.

A marquee like no other

The Wills 12x27m canvas marquee stood proudly amid the sweeping Italian landscape, its clean lines and elegant detailing perfectly complementing the natural surroundings of San Settimio. With its ivory sail cloth, sweeping peaks and expert British construction, it offered the best of both worlds – luxury and authenticity.

Inside, the marquee was transformed into a magical setting:

• A mirrorball sparkled above the dancefloor, where guests danced the night away.
• A stylish round bar kept the cocktails flowing all night.
• A raised stage created a focal point for speeches and live music.
• Matting flooring and classic detailing created a warm, tactile feel that married beautifully with the rustic Italian setting.

Styled to perfection by P & J Weddings

Every detail of the wedding was carefully curated and managed by the brilliant Claudia and Ellie from P & J Weddings, a planning team known for creating deeply personal and beautifully executed events in Italy.

Claudia and her team handled everything – from furniture and décor to catering and ambiance. Their signature style is refined but relaxed, mixing natural textures, Italian charm and just the right amount of flair. The tables were dressed in soft linens, with elegant place settings and seasonal florals that echoed the surrounding countryside. The whole scene felt intimate yet effortlessly luxurious.
