Will my Italian marriage be valid in the UK?
Yes.

Will I get a marriage certificate?
Yes. It is not the same format as a British marriage certificate but it is just as legal.

Can I get married in the Vatican?
Yes, but it is fraught with complications not the least of which is that the ceremony can be refused as late as the day on which it should happen. We will provide details of how to apply on request.

What paperwork do I need to provide?
If you are a British subject you will need to provide a Nulla Osta which is a Certificate of No Impediment. It will be provided by the British Consulate in Rome and states that you are free to marry. We will notify you of the documents required from you when you make your booking with us and we will process them for you.

What if either of us has been divorced?
A divorced person will need to supply, in addition to the standard documents required for the Nulla Osta, the original, plus a copy of the marriage certificate and the divorce decree absolute for all his/her previous marriages.
Under Italian law a female who has been divorced and wishes to re-marry in Italy cannot re-marry until 300 days have passed from the date of her divorce.

How long do we have to be in Rome before the wedding?
There is no legal requirement for you to be in Rome for any particular period prior to the ceremony but we would strongly advise that you allow at least a couple of days to finalise arrangements.

How do we pay you?
Payment is accepted in £ Sterling only. You may pay by post with a cheque or cash, or by On-line Banking. If you pay through a non-UK bank you will be liable for any fees connected with the transaction.

What if we want to make a complaint?
You need to contact us in writing within 7 days of the ceremony if you have a complaint to make. We will make every effort to investigate the circumstances and recover any monies from suppliers if this is appropriate. We advise you to take out a Wedding Insurance policy to protect yourself from unforeseeable circumstances.

How long will it take to get our photographs and/or videos?
This varies from photographer to photographer and we will give you an idea once the photographer has been chosen.

What should we do about our wedding presents?
It may not be convenient for your guests to bring their gifts with them so you might like to suggest they have them sent to you at home prior to the wedding. If you wish, we will arrange for any gifts that you receive in Italy to be sent home for you by the safest, insured method. There will be a charge for this service over and above the cost of postage, packing and insurance.
