Welcome

If you are planning your wedding at Chiostro dei Domenicani in Lecce, you are in the right place. I am Alessandra Jennifer, a photographer and filmmaker based between Canada and Italy, and Chiostro is one of the venues I know and love the most. Its architecture, atmosphere and light create the perfect environment for authentic, stylish and emotional wedding photography.

Why Chiostro dei Domenicani Is a Dream Wedding Venue

Chiostro dei Domenicani is a restored 15th century monastery located in the heart of Lecce. The cloister, the arches, the stone walls and the soft Puglian light make this space incredibly photogenic. Couples choose this venue for its mix of history, elegance and calm. It offers a full wedding experience in one location with beautiful indoor and outdoor areas that work for ceremonies, portraits and receptions.

What Chiostro offers

Chiostro is both a wedding venue and a boutique hotel.

Here is what couples get when they book it:

Eighteen on-site rooms and suites so your entire wedding party can stay with you
Over 10,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies, portraits and receptions
A central cloister, gardens, frescoed halls and vaulted stone corridors
In house catering with full menu and bar service
Legal civil ceremony options directly on site
Backup indoor spaces for weather changes
Pool and outdoor areas for relaxing during a multi day stay
It is truly a venue where you can host your entire celebration from start to finish without leaving the property.

Multi Day Wedding Experience

Because the venue includes accommodations, most couples turn their celebration into a full wedding weekend.

A typical three day experience looks like:

Day 1: Welcome dinner and check in
Day 2: Wedding day
Day 3: Brunch or a relaxed pool morning

Your guests stay on site, everything is walkable and the atmosphere feels intimate and connected.

Estimated Cost for a 3 Day Wedding

Based on publicly available information, exclusive use of the property starts at around €5,200 per night for all rooms and the venue.

For a three night stay, the base cost is roughly €15,600 for the property alone.

Catering, staffing and wedding services are extra and usually priced per guest. For a wedding of 50 to 100 guests, a realistic full weekend estimate often falls somewhere in the €25,000 to €30,000+ range depending on menu, décor and guest count.

Actual pricing always depends on the season and your specific plans, but this gives couples a clear starting point.
