The couple have to complete certain documents here in Italy before the ceremony.

of Intent to Marry 2 to 4 days prior to your marriage ceremony and Don Pedro Staff will assist fully with this.

The symbolic ceremony is the right choice for those who prefer not worry about completing documents for a civil or religious ceremony. This type of wedding is no legally binding and spouses have the freedom to personalize their ceremony in such a way that it reflects completely their values and beliefs.
The content of a symbolic ceremony will vary from couple to couple, and it's always tailored to the needs of each individual couple. The ceremony can be as traditional as you wish, or relaxed and unstructured. It can be performed by a pastor, an Italian officer or a family member…and you can include personal vows, favourite songs, poetry, religious elements or pagan rituals.
In addition to these symbolic ceremonies can be performed in the most spectacular settings such as a medieval courtyard, a beautiful vineyard, or a romantic Italian garden.

Symbolic or Commitment wedding ceremonies are a perfect choice to celebrate your
conjugal union in Italy.
