Wedding in Italy
regulations - law - quotations
There really is no grander or more spectacular overseas wedding destination than Italy anywhere
else in the world. No other country offers so many rich options for couples wishing to get married
overseas.
The reputation of Italy is only out done by the reality. So whether you choose the rolling
countryside of Tuscany, the aquatic elegance of Venice, the artistic romance of Florence & Rome or
any of the dozens of spectacular locations - Italy will provide the perfect backdrop for your perfect
wedding.
Fortunately, getting married in Italy has become much easier and more accessible for couples
wanting something a bit more spectacular for their wedding. You will have to prepare some
paperwork before the wedding at home. The precise details and legal paperwork you will require
varies upon where you are from and your legal status. Getting married in Italy is not as easy as
some countries, but it can be done without too many difficulties. Many couples have done it before
you from all around the world - so many of the hurdles have already been set aside.
Ceremonies in the popular Italy wedding locations for foreign citizens are performed in Italian with
an English translation - making it easy for couples from abroad. Often a section will be in Italian then repeated in English by the official conducting the ceremony. Couples from abroad wishing to
get married in Italy are welcomed by the Italian authorites!
Civil and Religious weddings are both available for couples from outside Italy. In most countries,
Civil weddings usually take place in bland government buildings, but in Italy, Civil weddings take
place in grand palaces or historic villas owned by the local government of the area. In Rome you can
get married the magnificent Campidoglio which was designed by Michelangelo. In Venice you can
marry overlooking the Grand Canal from a beautiful palace. Exchange your vows from a ornate villa
overlooking Europe's most beautiful views on the Amalfi Coast. Why not arrive by boat at a villa on
a the placid Lake Como - with views of medieval ancient castles?
As you would expect from a nation with the world's finest architecture, Church weddings & other
religious weddings also have many magnificent locations. The choices for a wedding in Italy just go
on and on. The range of options for a Italian wedding is truely spectacular. Choosing which location
you want to get married in Italy will certainly be your biggest problem!
Getting married in Italy need not be as difficult as it sounds. With some good advice & direction,
plus understanding what type of wedding you want, you really can have an fantastic Italian
wedding which you and your guests will never forget.
Italian wedding ceremonies
Wedding locations Italy
Civil Ceremonies must take place in a Town Hall or property purchased by the local government.
Typically very grand locations are available such as palaces, villas and manors. To Italians, with
their amazing architecture, only beautiful buildings in their towns and cities are the settings that
are approved for civil ceremonies.
Do not be concerned about ending up in a cold government building, most Town Halls are simply
stunning and in wonderful surroundings. As with all the architecture in Italy, you will not be
disappointed with the choices on offer. Yet again, due to the many beautiful locations that stretch
across Italy for a wedding ceremony, deciding where to get married in Italy is really your biggest
problem!
- See for yourself now which really are the most beautiful Town Halls & other wedding locations all
across Italy with The Complete Guide to Weddings in Italy.
You can marry in either a civil or religious ceremony in Italy. Due to the limited residency
requirements, you can virtually get married in any town in Italy. However, if you wanted a location
that has little experience with foreigners you may encounter some difficulties. Fortunately, the most
spectacular locations are often welcoming to couples from overseas & have all the experience to
simplify the procedure.
It is best to understand the rules and regulations that make each type of ceremony legal in Italy.
Some of the rules regarding a civil ceremony are:
A local civil official must perform the marriage.
The marriage cannot be performed on the premise of an foreign embassy or consulate.
In a religious ceremony:
If a Roman Catholic priest is performing the marriage, you do not need to get married first in a civil
ceremony; however, the priest must register the marriage with the civil registrar in order for the
marriage to be legal. If you are non-Roman Catholic, a prior civil ceremony is usually required to
ensure the legality of the marriage.
It is also possible to arrange a Jewish wedding in Italy.
If you are considering getting married in Italy, you may want to consider professional wedding
consultants in Italy who can assist you with all the necessary paperwork and logistics. There are
many companies in Italy, and a few in your own country. Prices vary widely.
For a little extra work you can organise your own wedding and save money.
Italy wedding paperwork
How to get married legally in Italy
You will have to prepare some paperwork before the wedding at home. The precise details you will
require varies upon where you are from and your legal status. Getting married in Italy is not as
easy as some countries, but it can be done. Many couples have done it from all over the world - so
many of the hurdles have already been set aside.
Basically, to legally get married in Italy you will need to provide:
- Formal proof that you are single is required.
If applicable, evidence of the termination of any previous marriage such as final divorce decree,
annulment decree or death certificate.
- If under 18, a Sworn Statement by parents or legal guardian consenting to the marriage.
- 'Atto Notorio'. This is a declaration stating that according to your country's laws, there is no
obstacle to your marriage.
A woman whose previous marriage was terminated within the last 300 days must obtain a waiver
from the Procura della Republica (District Attorney), which is issued on presentation of a medical
certificate that she is not pregnant!

historical buildings and offer a lovely setting for a wedding. Most registry offices in Italy require you
to sign a declaration of Intent to Marry up to 4 days before your wedding ceremony.
Symbolic & Commitment Ceremonies
For those who do not want to or can not hold a formal civil or religious wedding with all the legal
paperwork, a blessing may represent a beautiful alternative. It is often very similar to many other
kinds of weddings, the difference being that it is not legally binding. As it is more symbolic, no
paperwork is required and there are no restrictions on the locations.
Sorrento Weddings
Perched atop the rocky cliffs on a beautiful headland is Sorrento boasting wonderful views over the
gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Civil ceremonies in Sorrento take place in the Moorish-style
Cloisters of San Francesco in the historical
centre of Sorrento, part of which dates back to
the 8 th century. The civil ceremony will be
performed in Italian by the Civil Registrar and
translated into English by a local interpreter.
Weddings at the Town Hall Cloisters are
conducted from Monday to Friday from 11am to
1pm and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, on the hour.

Sunday afternoons at an extra supplement from

This document provides detailed wedding regulations for Italy and offers many
venues.
IMPORTANT • No Residency Requirements • Outdoor Weddings Are Legal - Also, unlike most of Italy and Europe, outdoor weddings are legal except for Catholic weddings which must be held in a church.
• The date on the marriage certificate for non-Catholic weddings (civil and religious) will be the date
when the official documents are
signed at the town hall. For most
couples, this is usually the date of the
outdoor ceremony; but some couples
find it more convenient to go to the
town hall a day or two prior to the
outdoor ceremony.
• There are common Italian marriage
laws; however, each region interprets
these laws differently and adds some
restriction of their own - e.g.,some
have a minimum of 6 to 10 day stay
requirement. This can cause
confusion. If you are in doubt,
contact your consulate in Italy email us for specific consulate
contact information.

Music Packages quotations
Notes:
•
•
•
•
Some of the pricing below may seem very inconsistent. The reason for
"inconsistency" is that in Italy they have a system of three taxes that tax new music
more than older or classical music. For non-classical music of any kind, the taxes
included in the prices below total 300 euros.
Live singers for receptions will sing a mixture of English & Italian songs (pop,
jazz/blues & Frank Sinatra, etc.) - ask us for prices.
Musicians will play for around one hour for ceremony packages, around three to
four hours for some reception packages. Classical music for receptions would just
be about 2 hours.
Clients that prefer to provide their own music for ceremony and/or reception will
require special permission from the church/hotel/venue. Note: Taxes for nonclassical music will still be required to be paid ahead of time.
