Friendly legislation and a relatively simple and affordable procedure for entering into an official marriage between foreign citizens. There is no “residency requirement” (unlike, for example, in France, where a certain period of residence is required) – you can fly to Italy just 2 days before the celebration, and we will prepare all the documents for you remotely.

Civil ceremonies in Italy take place in buildings of local government (town halls). They are often held in ancient palazzos, palaces, villas, and even castles. This means your ceremony can be held in a truly unique and atmospheric venue with history. See where our official ceremonies in Rome are held. 

Church ceremonies (following the Catholic rite) and civil ceremonies carry the same legal weight. You can have a beautiful and moving church wedding ceremony, which is equivalent to an official marriage. You can also be married in an Orthodox church (provided you already have an officially registered marriage). For more details about a church wedding and the required documents, read here.

Symbolic ceremonies in Italy have no restrictions regarding the choice of venue. It can be an open panoramic location with a luxurious view, a restaurant overlooking a landmark, or a villa with its own pool and garden. Check out where our symbolic ceremonies in Italy take place and the options for wedding venues. 

Italy is a wonderful country not only for getting married but also for a honeymoon, thanks to its marvelous nature and sunny climate. It is the homeland of the great geniuses of the Renaissance, the cradle of European civilization, and a center of world culture.

Your wedding photoshoot can take place in a picturesque medieval town nestled among vineyards and olive trees, or against the backdrop of landmarks such as the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Basilica. By choosing Italy, you choose a country that values marriage, family, and genuine emotions.
