The themed parties at Rome Cavalieri in Italy are famous for their costumes, decorations and elaborate sets. Planners can jazz up evening receptions by hosting a toga party, complete with replica Roman arches, a chariot race and an Italian musical troupe.
Rugantino is another theme option, named for a “swaggering but charming” character in Italian folklore. Guests are transported to the 18th century streets of the city of Trastevere, where they can wander stalls stocked with vegetables, flowers and wine, and dine by candlelight.
