Civil
Ceremonies
|
The
most usual form of ceremony is undertaken at the local Town
Hall by a person designated by the Mayor to perform such
duties. In Rome there are three options for this: the Sala
Rossa in the Campidoglio; the Vignola Mattei Building near
the Terme di Caracalla; and the charming little Villa Lais
just out of the centre of town. They are all historic sites
and wonderful venues for such a ceremony. You may not book
more than six months before your wedding and weddings at
very short notice may be difficult, but not impossible,
to arrange. You will need two witnesses and an interpreter.
The ceremony is quite short (about 20 minutes) and finishes
with the exchange of wedding rings. You may also include
your own personal vows. This type of wedding is the most
economical.

Church
Weddings
|
Catholic
weddings taking place in a church will include the civil
and religious elements combined within one service. You
will need to make contact with the church as soon as possible
to begin the necessary paperwork. We will explain all the
procedures for you.

Blessings
and Renewal of Vows
|
Blessings
and renewal of vows can take place in church or at a variety
of stunning venues. These include villas, castles, historic
palaces, and many more. We have a selection of beautiful churches
where the proceedings can be in English and you may have a
certain amount of say over the order of service. Sometimes
the ceremony and the reception can be held at the same place.
If you have a specific venue in mind we will endeavour to
secure this for you. |
Italian law
does not allow marriages in public places such as on beaches,
in car parks or in front of historical monuments. Nor does it
allow marriages between same-sex couples or where the couple’s
religion allows more than one spouse.
