Additional Services for Your Wedding The path to marital bliss is filled with excitement and joy but may also bring stress for engaged pairs.

Villa Zanchi commits to seamless, stress-free wedding planning, offering an extensive range of services to perfect every detail.

Villa Zanchi, through an exclusive arrangement with the Municipality of Stezzano, offers couples the extraordinary opportunity to conduct a legally binding civil ceremony on its premises. Traditionally, a civil ceremony choice might imply a compromise on grandeur, often associated with church weddings—facing impersonal municipal rooms, strict time limits due to sequential ceremonies, and restrictions on music and decorations.

At Villa Zanchi, such concerns are addressed to ensure the day remains untouched by the ordinary. The crafting of the ceremony includes bespoke decorations, timing, and performances, promising a lasting impact on the union. Settings range from inside the villa, within specially arranged stables, to the stunning parkland near the Neptune fountain, with adaptability to weather conditions.

The Villa’s management team oversees all necessary bureaucratic formalities, reducing the couple’s task to securing the delegation request from their municipality of residence.

Merely 30 meters from Villa Zanchi lies the Parish of San Giovanni in Stezzano, offering a convenient option for those desiring a religious ceremony within close proximity. Guests can park at the Villa’s secure parking and, following the ceremony, the wedding procession can easily walk to the Villa for the reception, circumventing the need for additional transportation and waiting times.

Furthermore, the vicinity of Villa Zanchi is graced with several other churches, all within a few kilometers, allowing couples to choose a sacred venue for their wedding without the hassle of lengthy travel.

  • San Michele al Pozzo Bianco Church – Città Alta: Located close to a parking area convenient for guests, especially since the area becomes pedestrian-only on Sundays. The parish is led by Mons. Fabio Zucchelli, reachable for arrangements.
  • Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Chestnut – Bergamo: Overseen by Don Filippo Paravicini Baliani, this sanctuary offers Sunday weddings and requires contact for booking.
  • Sanctuary of the Announced Madonna – Verdello: Managed by Don Mario Carminati, this church authorizes Sunday weddings at specific times, particularly suitable from June to September.
  • Prepositural Church of Santa Maria Immacolata delle Grazie – Bergamo: Guided by Mons. Valentino Ottolini, it presents another option for a sacred venue within the city.
  • Sanctuary of San Donato: Located in Osio Sotto and presided over by Don Luciano Ravasio, this sanctuary adds to the list of available options for a church wedding.

Villa Zanchi stands out not just for its magnificent venue but also for its proximity to sacred sites, offering a seamless transition from the solemnity of the church to the celebratory atmosphere of the Villa, catering to both religious and civil preferences alike.

Location-wise, Villa Zanchi boasts an extraordinarily favourable logistical position that enhances its appeal as an event venue. Its proximity to the A4 motorway—just 5 minutes from the Dalmine exit and 8 minutes from the Bergamo exit—coupled with its nearness to the Orio al Serio airport, merely 5 km away, ensures seamless access for guests traveling from near and far. Furthermore, accommodation needs are well catered for, with agreements with various lodging facilities within a maximum radius of 5 km from the residence, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests. The villa’s accessibility is complemented by a partnering 4-star hotel located just 100 meters away, making it an ideal choice for hosting events that require overnight stays for attendees.
