CATHOLIC WEDDING

A Catholic ceremony can only take place in a consecrated Roman Catholic Church. The church and the state don't have the same collaboration that is usual in the UK. Normally in church weddings in Italy, the couple will have performed a separate Civil service, normally in their home town. A possibility is to have a Catholic ceremony with civil bindings, which meets both religious and civil requirements. Please note that we require a month ( preferably two ) to prepare all the paperwork.

The couple must liaise with their priest in the UK ( pre-Cana ) in their home parish, and receive authorization from their home diocese to be married in Italy. All documentation must then be sent ( via Creativity Travel ) to Italy for approval. Couples who wish to celebrate either a full mass or a simple blessing must have all the required documents. At least one member of the couple must be Catholic. If you have been married before, you must have an annulment. 99 percent of Catholic weddings take place indoors in a church ( very few exceptions apply ).

Your Catholic wedding in Italy could take place in Venice in the crypt of San Marco in St Mark's square (above ) or perhaps in the church of San Giacomo ( left )

Your reception could be in an intimate restaurant, or the terrace of a splendid hotel on the Grand Canal or perhaps in one of Venice's ancient Palaces.

PROTESTANT CEREMONY

The Anglican Church and the Episcopalian Church are the two most predominant Protestant Churches in Italy. If you are a member of another Protestant Church, we will do our best to procure the right church for you. Whilst the Protestant Church has fewer requirements than the Catholic Church, you must still receive pre-marital counselling from your home parish. The Protestant Church will also allow marriage blessings between couples of mixed religions without heavy paperwork or Nulla Osta. The Protestant Church also allows for re-marriage without an annulment.

Multiculturalism is one of the elements which sustains Venetian culture. We are pleased to arrange Protestant, Jewish or Orthodox weddings in Venice in suitable and beautiful, romantic venues.

SYMBOLIC WEDDING

Yet within reach of most budgets, be it the full ceremony or a symbolic wedding or a reception. Often held in the gardens ( hidden courtyards behind great gateways in central Venice ) or in one of the ancient, elegant rooms.
