Religious Weddings

Catholic
If you are both certified Catholics (with proof of baptism and confirmation), you are eligible for a full Catholic ceremony in a Catholic Church. If only one of you is Catholic, you're eligible for a blessing ceremony in a Catholic Church, which means you must have a civil ceremony prior. Catholic weddings in Italy can take place only in Catholic churches!

Protestant

We have Protestant ministers in many of our locations, who are willing to celebrate weddings in a villas or gardens. We can also organize your wedding in a Protestant Church in Venice or Florence. Protestant ministers are not given the authority in Italy to provide a legal marriage therefore a civil ceremony is necessary prior to the Protestant ceremony.

Civil Weddings

We have an abundance of historic town halls where you can tie the knot. Legally valid civil weddings in Italy must almost always take place in a town hall. Different town halls in Italy have different days they do weddings for foreigners and they charge widely differing amounts. The paper work process is very specific and not easy to understand for those not accustomed to how it works in Italy. We don't suggest trying it on your own. Once a client commits to our services we carefully lead you through the process.
