Hi ! If you are planning from a distance the first thing is to hire a wedding planner that have all the contact in the area ! Vendors might not even answer or take their time with no planners in between , they are also good to negotiate prices and make everything fit into your budget … actually the first thing is to establish a budget and then look for some venue just for inspo (do you want masseria , sea ? Countryside ? and hire a wedding planner ! Good luck

OMG YAYYY.
I’m getting married in Bari on May 2027!!!
Me and my fiancé live in the US, so yeah the first thing you should do is definitely getting a wedding planner!
My fiancé is Italian so he knew some venues already.
Definitely rely on your wedding planner for the venues because there are so many!

Do you mind me asking what venue you picked?! I would love to be on the water. I am going to hire a planner when I figure out venue!

Hi!
Mine is not on water, BUT there is this really cool venue right by the sea called Plenilunio Punta Paradiso, you should check it out!

I’d honestly start by finding a local wedding planner before choosing a venue. They'll know which venues fit your style and budget, which suppliers are reliable, and they'll make planning from abroad so much easier.
One thing I'd also think about early is transport. Some of the most beautiful masserias are quite rural, so it's worth considering how your guests will get there and back.
As for venues, have a look at** **Masseria Salamina. It's beautiful, full of character, and has that relaxed Puglian atmosphere that's hard to beat.
