Questions about the venue
Can we hold a ceremony at Rara Factory?+
No. The venue hosts receptions only. Civil ceremonies are available at Orvieto's city hall (15 minutes away); religious ceremonies can be held at churches in Orvieto's historic centre. Many couples arrange a morning ceremony in town, then move to the estate for an afternoon reception.
What if we have more than 6 guests staying overnight?+
Rara Factory's 3 rooms sleep up to 6 people. The venue can recommend several villas, apartments, and holiday homes within 10 minutes' drive for additional guests, which you book independently.
Are we locked into using the venue's catering?+
No. The venue has exclusive partnerships with 3 catering services and bar providers, but you're free to choose which one, or the venue will help you select. Food and beverage are the only supplier restrictions; everything else is open.
What happens if it rains?+
The villa's ground floor accommodates 20–25 guests for seated dining. Marquee rental (arranged by the venue or independently) is recommended for outdoor events to ensure comfort and flexibility.
Is the venue accessible for guests with mobility issues?+
Unfortunately, the villa is not wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is essential for your guests, discuss this with the venue team when enquiring about your specific needs.
