Organising the wedding of your dreams in the beautiful city of Rome, requires meticulous planning. You need to pay attention to every little detail to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.
Planning a wedding in Rome means having to juggle deadlines, fix appointments, and adjust to tight schedules.
The day you’ve always dreamed of deserves to be the best day of your life.
A religious or civil ceremony?
The first question you need to discuss with your partner is whether you want to have a religious or civil wedding ceremony.
Alternatively, or possibly in addition, to these two main types, there is also a third way; a symbolic ceremony with a purely spiritual value. Without any legal standing and, therefore, without any “contractual obligations”, at the ceremonial level, it leaves ample scope for customisation.
Whether you want to be true to tradition, or you prefer to adapt your marriage and take on board the latest trends and fashions, this is the guide for you. Whichever route you choose, to make sure you will have an event you will look back on happily for a very long time, it’s advisable to entrust the professionals with the catering, decoration, and design of the ceremony.
However, if you do decide to plan most of your wedding on your own, we can provide you with an in-depth guide on the various steps you’ll need to take to ensure that it goes without a hitch.
Choosing the Church for your wedding in Rome
Choosing a religious ceremony for your wedding is important, even more so when your faith is accompanied by your desire to fulfil your dream in the parish in which you were born and grew up, and to which you have been closely connected since childhood.
Finding a Church where you can celebrate your wedding, in a beautiful setting that only Rome can offer, which meets all your expectations, shouldn’t be too difficult, should it? Yet, in reality, it often becomes an impossible quest to book the church of one’s dreams at the time you want it, taking into account the number of wedding guests that need to be accommodated and the emotional bond that the spouses have with the church.
In such situations, flexibility is the watchword. Be prepared to move the date you initially set by a few weeks, either forwards or backwards!
In the next article, we will give you a selection of the most beautiful churches in Rome, some more well-known than others, that will be a useful guide to the many couples who intend to get married in the Roman capital.
Choose the location for your civil wedding
Without wishing to diminish the importance of faith in the couple’s choice of venue, sometimes it is advantageous to search for the location in which to celebrate their marriage in areas other than their own parishes..
The choice could be dictated by your desire to have your wedding in a place that is reasonably close, with outdoor spaces, a unique venue with an unspoiled environment, not hemmed-in by four walls.
It has to be taken into account that, in order for a civil marriage to be considered valid, the ceremony must take place in a ‘Casa Comunale’, i.e. any venue under the legal jurisdiction of the Municipality, in accordance with Art. 106 of the Italian Civil Code This is a venue that must be used for the performance of institutional functions and for wedding ceremonies.
For this reason, for the celebration of your wedding, it is important to choose a location that is on the list provided by your municipality of residence, or rely on the managers of private venues who have experience in the organisation of weddings.
