Which period of the year do you recommend to get married in Italy?

Every period of the year shows its attraction but, if you wish to have sun, flowers but not a too hot weather, we suggest the period going from April to the beginning of June or the months of September and October.

When should we start planning our wedding in Italy?

If you wish to have a wide choice regarding venues and accommodation we suggest to begin 6 to 9 months before the wedding date. In this case you will have plenty of time to look at the different proposals, to come for inspection if you wish and to reserve later on. Wedding Tuscany is able to arrange a wedding also in less than 3 months but obviously, the choice is restricted to the locations, which still have availability. If you are thinking about a catholic ceremony, we warmly suggest to start planning at list 6 months before the wedding in order to have enough time to prepare the requested documents if some is missing.

How many days prior to the wedding should we arrive?

We suggest to arrive at least 2 or 3 days before the wedding. If you have reserved a civil wedding you have to come, with us, to the municipality for the sworn declaration two days prior to the wedding. If you are not EU citizen you may need (it depends on your Nationality) to come some days before to the Consulate or Embassy. Anyway we suggest to come at list 3 days before, in order to check everything with us and in order to take your time and relax or, if you wish, to make a rehearsal dinner or to spend some time in spa. The purpose is always a non-stress wedding! Moreover, if you have reserved hairstylist, make up artist and gown, you will need some relaxing time to make trials.

Is the ceremony in Italian?

The civil ceremony is always in Italian and Wedding Tuscany & Event will provide you with an interpreter in your language, who is obliged to swear that he/she will translate everything faithfully and truly. As for religious ceremonies, they can be performed in Italian or English. In case of other languages, an interpreter will translate everything.

How do we choose the venue, accommodation and location for our wedding?

According to your expectations and wishes, you can choose more than a location among our several suggestions and ask for information. Otherwise, if you have the chance to come to Italy, we will prepare an inspection program for you to see as many location as you wish. Once you have a clearer idea of what you like you can stop one or more option for some weeks before taking your final decision, reserve the location and pay the deposit.
