Why couples trust us with their day in Rome

Rome looks effortless in photos. In real life it has traffic zones you can’t drive into, landmarks crowded from 9 am, places where a photographer needs a permit, and a summer sun that melts any timeline. We live here, and we’ve planned weddings in Rome since 2016. Here is what that means for you.

1. Rome is our home, not our destination. Our Rome planner Svetlana and our founder Marina both trained as Rome guides. We know which terrace catches the golden light, which piazza is empty at 7 am, and the story behind every stone you’ll walk past.

2. We know the rules of the Eternal City. Your vintage car comes with a permit for the historic center’s restricted traffic zone, so you arrive at the door, not three streets away. We plan your photos around the crowds, the heat and the places where shooting needs permission.

3. We can make it legal, or take you to church. Rome is where we do what most planners won’t: a legal civil ceremony with all the paperwork, including at the town hall on the Capitoline Hill, or a Catholic ceremony for couples already married at home. Your symbolic rooftop vows can be the start of something official.

4. One price, one team, one point of contact. Your terrace, photographer, florals, hair and makeup, violinist and vintage car come in one all-inclusive price, confirmed in writing before you book. You talk to one planner, not seven vendors.

5. Your ceremony is led by someone who knows your story. Most celebrants meet a couple ten minutes before the ceremony and read a script about strangers. Your planner has spent months getting to know you: how you met, the moment you knew, the people you wish could be there. She writes your ceremony and speaks it to the two of you, not to a page. And because the person leading your vows is also the one running your day, the violinist, the photographer and the light all follow one cue, with no handoffs and no strangers in your most personal moment. Prefer a professional celebrant? We’ll add one.

6. A plan B for everything, in writing. Every terrace has a covered or indoor alternative, and we agree your backup plan with you before the day.

7. Real Roman weddings, not stock photos. From an elopement on the Capitoline Hill to celebrations at Palazzo Borghese and in the hills of the Castelli Romani, our portfolio is full of Rome.

8. A limited number of couples each season. Your wedding never shares our attention with two others on the same day.

Your day in Rome

A sample September day, built around the golden hour:

Time
2:00 pmGetting ready. Your stylist and photographer arrive at your hotel. Your planner checks every detail, so you can simply enjoy the moment.
4:30 pmYour car is waiting. A vintage car pulls up at the door and drives you through the historic center, with a permit most cars don’t have.
5:00 pmYour vows above Rome. A violinist plays as you walk out onto the terrace. Your planner leads the ceremony you wrote together, with the city glowing behind you.
5:45 pmA toast on the rooftop. Prosecco, a few quiet minutes, and your first photos as a married couple.
6:15 pmRome is your backdrop. A photo walk through the streets as the light turns gold: the Pantheon, hidden piazzas, the corners only locals know.
7:30 pmDinner for two. We book the table, you walk in as newlyweds. The evening is all yours.

How it works

1. Tell us your dream date. Send us a short note with your date and the view you love. Marina, our founder, replies personally within 4 working hours.

2. Meet us on a video call. Svetlana walks you through the terraces, the day and the options for a legal or church ceremony. No pressure, just honest answers.

3. Secure your date. We confirm the terrace, then you receive one clear proposal with one all-inclusive price. Your date is locked in when the contract is signed and the deposit is paid, together.

4. Plan it together, calmly. Ceremony script, florals, music, beauty and timing, designed with you step by step.

5. Arrive and say yes. Fly in two or three days before, three or more if your ceremony is legal. We meet you in Rome and take care of everything around you.

What our couples say

“We didn’t want to spend months coordinating vendors, timelines, and all the little details—we wanted to enjoy the experience and trust professionals to bring it all together. That’s exactly what they did. […] Putting our trust in them was one of the best decisions we made. On the day of our ceremony, everything flowed perfectly. […] If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing.”

Anthony D’Auria, vow renewal in Rome · Google review

“People call Paris the city of love, but it didn’t touch me. Rome, though, stole my heart at first sight. Its warmth, terracotta rooftops, baroque joy in the architecture, the sunshine, the omnipresent art: it all feels like a blessing for love.”

Questions couples ask

Ask your own
Can we get married at the Trevi Fountain or the Colosseum?

Ceremonies can’t be held at the monuments themselves, and honestly you wouldn’t want to share your vows with a few thousand tourists. Your ceremony takes place on a terrace above them, and we plan your photos at the landmarks at the quietest moments of the day.

Is a symbolic ceremony legally binding in the US?

No. Many couples sign the legal papers at home and celebrate in Rome. If you’d rather be legally married in Italy, add our legal ceremony and we’ll handle every document.

Can we have a Catholic ceremony in Rome?

Yes, for couples already married civilly at home. Start about six months ahead, as your parish at home needs to prepare the documents. We guide you through every step.

Can we bring guests?

Yes, Guest Concierge looks after up to 12 guests. Each terrace has its own capacity, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible on our call.

What happens if it rains?

Every terrace has a covered or indoor alternative, and we agree your plan B in writing before the day.

When is the best time of year?

April to June and September to October. In July and August we move your ceremony to the evening, when the heat softens and the light is at its best.

How far ahead should we book?

6 to 12 months for a symbolic ceremony, at least 6 months for a legal or Catholic one.

How do payments work?

You pay a deposit when you sign your contract, and the balance follows a clear schedule well before the wedding. You always know what is paid, to whom and when.

Rome is waiting. Let’s check your date.

Tell us when you dream of saying yes and which view you love. Marina will reply personally, and we’ll find a time for a relaxed video call with Svetlana to walk you through the terraces and the day.

We take on a limited number of elopements each season.
