We initially fell in love with Monastero Santa Margherita and were so excited to have our wedding there. Sadly, our experience with the team was incredibly disappointing. After confirming a wedding date and being asked to send a deposit, we requested to review the contract first before we sent over the deposit. From that moment, the communication changed entirely. We were suddenly informed that our chosen dates were no longer available, and only early May or October dates remained, despite us having already made it clear that those months didn't work for us. To make matters worse, we later learned through our wedding planner that our original date (and many others) were still being offered to new enquiries, directly contradicting what we’d been told. We also felt pressured multiple times to confirm quickly or lose the dates, creating an unnecessary sense of urgency, which was clearly falsified as they had plenty of dates available. This dishonesty and lack of professionalism made us realise we couldn’t trust this venue for such an important event. We made the decision to walk away and instead chose the Belmond (who have been nothing short of exceptional!). If you’re considering this venue, please by cautious!! Always get everything in writing, request a contract before transferring any money, and be prepared for inconsistent communication and last-minute changes.
