Why Have Your Destination Wedding in Italy

Italy is an absolute dream for a wedding destination. The citizens of Italy take pride in their country and culture. The architecture is beyond beautiful as the buildings have remained in the same state since first being built in the Renaissance period.

Let’s not forget about Italian food. It is delicious and flavorful, which means you won’t have to worry about fussy eaters as there will be something that will cater to everyone’s tastes.

Finding the Best Wedding Venues in Italy

Getting married in Italy you will find no shortage of beautiful wedding venues and Tuscany definitely has some of the best wedding venues in Italy. Before you start hunting for a wedding venue though, you first need to determine what type of wedding you would like to have. If you want a rustic wedding, then a farmhouse in Tuscany would be the ideal choice. If you want a regal and exclusive wedding, then a castle will suit you well. Or, maybe you want something more modern and elegant, then a grand hotel would be your best choice.

Once you decide on the type of venue, you will have to do some further research to determine which exact venue you want to reserve for your special day and then, of course, there is the Italian wedding reception to consider. If you happen to have a wedding planner Italy, utilize them as much as you can. Have your wedding planner do research to help you find the best venue that suits your tastes and needs.

It’s good to know that traditional Roman Catholic ceremonies are legally binding in Italy since they have a civil element already to them. However, if you practice a different religion to make your marriage in Italy official, you will have to first have a civil ceremony followed by your religious celebration.

Finding a Wedding Planner in Italy

It is of the utmost importance to have a wedding planner for your wedding in Italy to go off without a hitch. It would be best to hire a wedding planner of Italian background or better yet, a wedding planner who resides in Italy. They will know what’s best in terms of location, venue, food, decor, flowers, etc., and make your Italian wedding day one that you will never forget.

If you aren’t based in Italy then you can have a Skype interview with your wedding planner to get to know them better, make sure to ask lots of questions. It’s important that you have a wedding planner in Italy who will listen to your ideas and give feedback. They should want to make your dream wedding in Italy a reality. Also, ask to see their portfolio, because nothing speaks louder than a strong track record.
