From breathtaking views to exotic culinary delicacies, Italy has everything you need to make your wedding memorable. But what does it require to plan a perfect Italy wedding?
Everyone, at least once in their life, imagined saying their “I Do” with an excellent view as their wedding backdrop. From breathtaking views to exciting and fun experiences, Italy has it all! Planning a wedding outside your home country is a fun and magical experience but it also comes with the responsibility of considering all the practicalities that come in planning your perfect destination wedding.
Well, fret not! In this blog created by the Team Wedding Affair, we are going to provide you with the ultimate guide listing all the necessary details you need to know while planning your Italy wedding.
Venue Selection
Picking a venue is the most significant step in wedding planning. Italy is blessed with some of the most excellent destinations, equipped with all the necessary amenities that will be perfect for planning your dream destination wedding. Here are some factors you need to consider while picking the venue for your Italy wedding.
Location
Pick a venue that is easily accessible for you and all your wedding guests. Don’t rely on Google Maps solely and consider researching the location yourself because there are many venues online that showcase themselves in ‘Florence’ or ‘Rome’ but in reality, are an hour away from the main city.
Wedding Size
While booking the venue for your Italy wedding, make sure to know all about its accommodation capacity and other amenities according to your wedding size to avoid the uncomfortable consequence of cramming up your wedding guests in a small space on the wedding day.
Wedding Budget
Consider your wedding budget before booking the venue for your Italy wedding. Then, stick to that specified budget and book your wedding venue according to it. We don’t want to burn a hole in our pockets while achieving our dreams!
Wedding Style
Italy has a diverse range of venues to provide you with the desired style for your wedding. So, have a long chat with your partner and decide on the venue that reflects your style and feels most authentic to you.

Legalities

- You need to obtain a document from your country’s embassy stating there are no legal obstructions in your marriage.
- You need to provide some other documents like a passport, birth certificate, and residency proof.
- After obtaining all the necessary documents, submit them to the local commune of your wedding venue.
- Then, you will be issued a marriage licence that will be valid for 6 months.
After sorting out these legalities, you are now ready to proceed further with your Italy wedding.
Travel & Accommodations
After deciding on the venue and catering for your Italy wedding, the next step is to plan the travel logistics and accommodations of your wedding guests. After they land, you need to plan the route and transportation for them to your wedding venue. The next thing that you need to consider sorting is their accommodation. There are a few accommodation options like villas, apartments, or hotel rooms available that you can book for your guests near your wedding venue and then provide them with transportation from their accommodation destination to the wedding destination. We know, it’s a hassle to execute these many things together. That’s why we recommend you to book a seasoned wedding planner who can execute all these wedding necessities for you!
