Wedding in Italy

Love, romance, breathtaking scenery, Italian warmth & generosity; have your wedding in Italy and these are just some of the things you are bound to experience.

In a country with such regional diversity, it’s hard to paint a picture of a “typical” wedding in Italy. The atmospheres and even the traditions vary so wildly from one region to the next, it is impossible to give a catch-all description of what your day might look and feel like.






However, if you choose to get married in Italy, you can be assured of a handful of constants;

• The legal procedure is the same country-wide, and is relatively straightforward although you may need the guiding hand of an experienced wedding planner or co-ordinator to guide you through the process.

• You’re guaranteed the stereotypical Italian virtues of warmth, welcome, fabulous food and wine, and a laid-back approach that may be slightly frustrating if you like to be in control, or a welcome relief if you want to escape the intensity of planning a wedding at home.

With basics such as these, Italy is a fantastic location for a wedding abroad.

Real Experiences! Here’s why other couples chose to have their wedding in Italy. Better value for money and much higher standards of presentation and quality. Nicholas & Jane, United Kingdom - May 2004 We’ve both always wanted to visit Italy, plus for several of our guests this would be their only holiday of the year. We were therefore determined to choose somewhere that they genuinely wanted to visit and Sorrento combined a romantic environment with lots of sight-seeing. Rebecca & Peter, United Kingdom – August 2005 We wanted somewhere that all the guests could attend easily and with as little cost as possible, so it had to be no more than a two hour flight and serviced by a budget airline. Apart from that, I have good memories of Sorrento and think it’s a stunning and dramatic place. James proposed on top of Vesuvius, so there’s some continuity there as well! Callie & James, United Kingdom – May 2005 We chose Italy because I had been there before and loved the food and people. Amalfi because it looked amazing in every photo and I had heard from others it was beautiful. Caoimhe & Dave, United Kingdom / Ireland – June 2005 We got engaged in Florence and fell in love with the area and fancied going back to get married – simple as that! Karen & Dean, United Kingdom – May 2005
