Documents
 We
complete all the relevant legal procedures in Italy
for you and inform you about the documents required
for a marriage in Italy. You may send all the documents
directly to us and we will pass them on to the appropriate
governmental offices where we apply for your permit
to get married in Italy.
Based upon your personal situation (nationality, civil
status, residence, etc.) we will check which documents
are required for which governmental offices. We know
the Italian laws and the times involved in the relevant
bureaucratic procedures. We make sure that all paperwork
will be processed in a timely fashion. If your certification
needs further legalisation but you have to leave shortly
after the wedding, we can take care of everything and
send the documents to your home address without problems.
Apart from your personal details (full names, addresses,
date and place of birth, civil status, nationality,
etc.), certain certificates will be needed by the authorities
in your home country and/or by their diplomatic offices
in Italy. We know exactly what the Italian law requires
and which authorities have to be contacted.
We deal with all the paperwork from the first appointment
to the legalisation of the wedding certificate. The
only paperwork that would be easier to do from abroad
might be the writing and sending of the invitations
– but even this we can do for you.
Naturally, all your personal information will be kept
confidential and will be handled with due care and respect,
as required by the Data Protection Laws.
Translations and interpreter
In Italy the presence of a sworn interpreter during
the civil wedding ceremony is mandatory, since the wedding
ceremony must be read in Italian. We work with the best
interpreters who will be present all the time and help
you through all the language difficulties. Members of
our international team speak excellent English, Dutch,
German and, of course, Italian. Interpreters add much
to mixed weddings and bilingual-ceremonies. All our
interpreters not only translate but also help guide
you through the whole day.
The religious wedding may be conducted by an English-speaking
priest. There might also be the possibility of bringing
your own priest or of having the religious ceremony
translated in English, if an English-speaking priest
is not available.
Timing
It is always best to begin the planning of a wedding
as soon as possible. If you decide at the last minute
to marry in Italy on short notice… well, even
then, we will try to make the impossible possible. In
general, the most traditional wedding months are May
and September, but the season often stretches from Easter
to October. If you wish to celebrate your wedding in
a certain church, town hall or villa, you should plan
a good time in advance. The earlier you decide on the
date, the more probable will be the availability of
your desired location. Please remember that choosing
particular date – such as 8/8/08 or 11/11/11 –
probably means that others will have the same idea.
The early bird catches the worm! The size of the wedding
party is important, too: the more guests you have, the
more accommodations there are to be planned!
Give us an idea of how you envision your wedding, and
we will tell you how much advance time you will need
to start your preparations.
