BUREAUCRACY AND CEREMONIES: Civil Ceremony
Civil weddings are legally recognised marriages and must take place in town halls (‘Comune’) approved by the local authorities. Italian authorities do not recognize marriages in private villas or castles. The wedding halls are historical renaissance Palazzos with beautiful frescoed walls and not cold government halls!
The Mayor or Vice-Mayor performs the ceremony. The closest wedding halls in the vicinity of the two properties we offer are: San Gimignano, Certaldo, Siena and Florence.

Regarding legal & paperwork assistance in organising your civil wedding, we work with a very professional and well-established legal agency in Florence that can easily guide you through the process. We can help you to:

• Book a wedding hall in Italy
• Obtain the Nulla Osta (a document required to be married in Italy) at your consulate.
• Register the Nulla Osta and other marriage documents with the Italian court of law.
• File all paperwork at the Town Hall/Comune
• Have an official interpreter/wedding coordinator at the marriage ceremony
• Register the wedding and insure that the wedding certificate is legalised after marriage ceremony
