Symbolic Wedding Blessings in Italy



What is a symbolic blessing?

  • A symbolic blessing is a very personal wedding ceremony which may be celebrated in any beautiful private location of your choice. We can arrange a truly Tuscan wedding ceremony under olive trees, in a vineyard, between lemon trees in terracotta vases, within the beauty of an Italian garden, or in a Tuscan or Umbrian courtyard.


  • The ceremony lasts between 10 and 50 minutes, according to your wishes. Live music, personal vows, poems and readings by parents and family members render your blessing even more romantic.


  • We personalize the ceremony according to your wishes and provide various proposals. The “big moments” of a wedding blessing:



The entrance of the groom and family – with music


The entrance of the bride – with music


The minister welcomes the couple, their family and guests


The minister reads out poems and/or readings


Readings of family members and/or friends


Exchange of the vows


Kissing of the bride – with music


The minister reads out poems and/or readings


Signing of the symbopc marriage act – with music


Farewell of minister to the spouses

What you should know about a symbolic wedding blessing…

 

  • You may choose 

    witnesses

     for your symbolic blessing, but this is not a must. A symbolic wedding blessing isn’t legally nor religiously binding.


  • At the end of the symbolic blessing you receive the symbolic 

    marriage certificate.


  • A symbolic wedding blessing is the most 

    personalized wedding ceremony

     which we can offer you.


  • A family member or friend, who would like to perform the ceremony for you, is most welcome.


  • A symbolic wedding blessing might be the ideal choice for those who did not have the time to collect all the necessary documents or who decided to get legally married already at home.



A renewal of vows …

  • is the perfect choice for couples who want to 

    celebrate their anniversary

     or the evolution of their relationship. 


  • is requested by couples who are already married and want to 

    renew their commitment

     or who simply want to show how strong their love still is.


  • is a ceremony of your “personal history of your marriage” - and your wishes for your future together, which will be performed by our celebrant in a 

    unique, unforgettable way.



Vow renewals are a very romantic way of celebrating anniversaries or other special occasions during the “way through life together”. Our wedding venues in Tuscany and Umbria offer a perfect scenery for such a deeply felt demonstration of love.
