Italian Weddings - Getting Married in Italy

World Weddings has been leading the way in planning romantic Italian Weddings for couples from all over the world.  We were the first to open up regions such as Lazio, Puglia, Campania, Friuli and the northern Trentino Alto Adige. We operate all over Italy and offer ceremony and reception locations for weddings even in remote towns and villages.

We have been featured in NBC "Nightline" and were filmed while coordinating one of our weddings in Tuscany.  Publications in various countries ranging from The London Times, IN Style Weddings as well as Destination Weddings have featured articles on us.

Wedding Options

Italy offers hundreds of historic halls in every country town and city exceptionally well suited for the most romantic of events. Religious rites can be celebrated in magnificent Protestant and Catholic churches or Jewish Synagogues where the celebration will be held in accordance with all civil and religious requirements; also valid in your country. World Weddings can arrange for you to be united with both a civil and religious rite in the same ceremony; this applies to Protestant, Catholic or Jewish weddings. 

France, England, Spain and Portugal and several other countries of Europe have a thirty to forty day residency requirement before you can apply for permission to marry with a legal ceremony.

There is no residency requirement to marry in Italy. This allows foreigners to tie the knot and honeymoon in any location without bureaucratic delays. In some cases you can arrive and marry within two days.

How is it done and how long does it take?

Your wedding will be planned in every detail with your own personal coordinator who will update you on progress faithfully and regularly.

Most of the paperwork is prepared in your country of origin and filed prior to arrival. Depending on citizenship you may need to complete some final paperwork. This takes half a day at most and a coordinator/interpreter will be there to help you with any legalities.

A civil service performed in Italy is legally recognized throughout the world. The certificate you are given is multi-lingual and valid internationally and can be issued in several different copies. All that you must do is register it in your home country, in which case the marriage laws applicable in that home state will apply.

Matrimony in a Catholic church can be either a religious blessing (where the couple arrives already legally bound) or a priest can perform both a catholic and a civil ceremony simultaneously.

For couples wanting to skip all paperwork altogether there is the option of a romantic symbolic ceremony with all the trimmings. A symbolic ceremony follows traditional lines but will not hold any religious or civil status. Holding no restrictions allows you to have it just about anywhere except an official civil hall or church. Many couples opt for this solution as it grants them complete freedom to celebrate both ceremony and reception in their location of choice.

We can arrange for a civilly binding Protestant destination weddings or a religious blessing.  If you opt for a civilly binding religious ceremony we will have a pastor authorized by the Italian State to celebrate in the villa or palace or location  of choice. 

Euroevents plans unforgettable wedding receptions from 2 to 500 either in one of the famous historical restaurants, or inside superb castles, villas and palazzos. For couples eloping, a special champagne dinner with small cake is made available.
