Culture & Cuisine
Italy’s deep cultural heritage and famous culinary traditions add a special touch to any wedding. Couples can incorporate meaningful Italian traditions into their ceremony, such as tying a ribbon symbolizing unity or using confetti (sugared almonds) to bless the marriage with health, wealth, and happiness.
Guests will be treated to a gastronomic journey, from fresh pasta and risottos to exquisite cheeses and local wines. End your celebration with a classic Italian wedding cake, “Millefoglie,” or a toast of prosecco and limoncello. Italy’s hospitality ensures that every detail is tailored to perfection.
Weather
Italy’s Mediterranean climate ensures favorable wedding weather across most of the year, with regional variations. April and October, part of the shoulder season, offer mild temperatures ranging from 14°C to 25°C, but occasional rain showers are likely, especially in northern regions. May, the start of peak season, brings warmer days with averages between 16°C and 25°C and less frequent rain. From June to September, temperatures rise to 25°C to 30°C, with July and August being the hottest and driest months, though southern regions can exceed 35°C. Whether you prefer spring’s fresh blooms, summer’s vibrant sunshine, or autumn’s golden hues, Italy provides stunning backdrops for every season.
Travel & Accessibility
Italy is well-connected and easily accessible for international visitors, thanks to its major airports:
- Rome (FCO): A hub for international and domestic flights.
- Milan (MXP): Perfect for exploring northern Italy.
- Venice (VCE): Ideal for couples dreaming of a romantic Venetian wedding.
- Naples (NAP): Gateway to the Amalfi Coast and southern Italy.

Italy also boasts an efficient train network, making travel between cities and regions convenient and giving you the chance to see even more of the natural beauty of Italy’s countryside.
Legal process
To legally marry in Italy, couples must meet certain requirements. Civil ceremonies are the most popular choice for international couples due to their simplicity and universal recognition. Key documents include valid passports, birth certificates, and a “nulla osta” (certificate of no impediment to marriage), all translated into Italian and legalised with an Apostille stamp. It is recommended to work with a local wedding planner or legal expert to ensure a smooth process.
Religious ceremonies, such as Catholic weddings, require additional paperwork, including proof of baptism and premarital preparation. Both civil and religious ceremonies are legally binding in Italy, making it a seamless choice for couples worldwide.
