Couples from abroad

A wedding you plan from another country.

Living abroad changes two things: the paperwork, which depends on where you live, and the planning, which has to work without a visit every month.

What changes

The documents follow your country, not ours.

For a civil wedding in Italy the town hall will ask for documents from the country where you live, and may ask for them to be translated and legalised. Which documents, in which language and with which stamp depends on your case: the Comune, or your consulate, is the office that tells you.

Nobody can give you that list from a website, and we do not try. What we can do is explain how the ceremony works here and put the venue side of the day in order while you deal with the paper.

In order

Rules differ by country and change over time. Ask the office that will receive your documents, not a forum, and not us.

At a distance

See the place before you see it.

The 360° virtual tour is the first step: you move through the terraces, the hall and the club rooms and understand the geometry of the place — where the ceremony happens, where dinner is, how close the sea is.

Then a call with your date and your numbers, then a visit when you are in Italy. It is possible to see the venue for the first time a few days before the wedding: it works when the decisions were taken on a clear quote rather than on impressions.

Staying and arriving

Where the day leaves you.

The venue has no rooms: guests sleep in Castiglioncello and in the villages around, so the last part of the evening is a short transfer rather than a long one. Castiglioncello station is on the Livorno–Grosseto line, a few minutes from the venue; Pisa is 47.0 km away and Florence 116.2 km.

The team speaks Italian and English. For the ceremony itself, the language and any translation are agreed with the Comune, which is the office that decides.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we organise everything without coming to Italy first?
Up to a point: the tour and the quote can be done remotely, and the date can be discussed by message or call. The visit is worth making when you can, and the paperwork may require a trip to the consulate or the town hall in any case.
Do you speak English?
Yes, Italian and English. The language of the ceremony and any translation are agreed with the Comune.
Which documents do we need?
It depends on where you live and on your situation. Your Comune or your consulate gives the list; for anything unusual, a professional who knows both countries is worth the cost.
How long should we stay?
That depends on the appointments your Comune gives you. Couples usually plan the trip around the ceremony and the town hall, rather than the other way round.
