Italy, cradle of Catholic marriage
Since the earliest centuries, Rome and the Vatican have been the beating heart of Christianity. Marrying in Italy places your union in a millennial lineage of faith, under the care of the Petrine See.
Every basilica and village chapel tells a story of devotion and sacred art. We open the doors of this universal heritage for a celebration beyond time.

Frequently asked questions
Is the marriage recognized in my home country?
Yes, provided you complete civil formalities beforehand. Italian religious marriage benefits from specific agreements that ease transcription.
How far in advance should we start the file?
We recommend starting 8 to 12 months ahead to secure the venue and obtain the required canonical authorizations.
Do we need to speak Italian to marry in Italy?
Not necessarily. We can arrange francophone or anglophone celebrants and help translate official documents.
What is the average cost of a Catholic wedding?
Budgets vary by location (Rome vs countryside). Plan for chancery fees, the venue, and the church offering as a baseline.
