Wedding party dining under the pergola in the park at Casa Nova

dining under the stars, to the gentle music of fountains

Planning a party?

The Casa Nova estate provides a spectacular backdrop for a wedding or other major celebration. We supply the venue – you supply the rest.

The iris nursery on the estate includes an extensive park with mature trees, flower filled borders, rose arches, cascade, and lily pond. At the top of the park is a wisteria-clad pergola, with fountains either side, which makes a stylish option for outdoor summer dining. The lawn in front of the wisteria pergola has commanding views over the valley and is an ideal location for pre-dinner drinks. There is also a covered pergola in front of the visitor centre of the iris nursery. Guest bathrooms and a kitchen servery are close to hand, in the visitor centre. The kitchen servery has two fridges and twin ovens which can be used to heat up and serve food prepared off-site. If full on-site catering is needed, your caterer can set up a catering kitchen in a marquee or van out of sight behind the pergola, where there is a hook up for supply of water and electricity.

If you are also renting Il Casale and Casa dell’Ortolano, the two houses can accommodate up to 25 of your guests between them. As from summer of 2027, the addition of the three apartments at Palazzetto will bring that total to 37.

The gallery below is of events we have held at Casa Nova ourselves for 30 to 80 people and may inspire you as to how you might create your own event here, with the help of your own party planners, event suppliers and caterers. We can supply contact details for those we have used for the events pictured.
