Six months, in the right order.
An order of work, not a rule: what to settle in the first conversation, what can wait, and what depends on the Comune rather than on you.
Six months, in order.
An indicative order of work. Every wedding has its own pace, and the paperwork follows the Comune’s timing, not ours.
| When | What to do | With whom |
|---|---|---|
| Six months before | Choose the date and visit the venue | You and the venue |
| Five months before | Guest list, quote, the first written numbers | You and the venue |
| Four months before | Ceremony paperwork, documents, residence | The Comune |
| Three months before | Styling, music, photographer, menu and allergies | You and your suppliers |
| Two months before | Programme of the day: times, arrivals, speeches | You, the venue, suppliers |
| One month before | Final numbers and confirmation in writing | You and the venue |
An indicative order of work. Every wedding has its own pace, and the paperwork follows the Comune’s timing, not ours.
Five answers, one sitting.
Some decisions do not need a second meeting: the date or the period, the number of guests, whether the civil ceremony is on the terrace, whether dinner is outside or in the main hall, and whether the party goes on in the club.
With those five answers a date can be checked and the day sketched. Everything else — flowers, music, photographs — hangs off them, and changing them later costs more than deciding them now.
If you are still choosing between two dates, say so: one wedding per day means we can tell you which of the two is free before you fall in love with either.
The part that belongs to the Comune.
The civil ceremony paperwork is done with the Comune — for this venue, the Comune of Rosignano Marittimo: documents, residence, publications, the date itself. The venue prepares the space and the arch on the terrace, licensed since 2018, but it does not celebrate and does not handle the practice.
We will not give you a deadline that is not ours to give. Ask the Comune how long their steps take, and start when they tell you to start.
For the cases that are not ordinary — one of you living abroad, a previous marriage, a concordat ceremony — the answer comes from the Comune and, where needed, from a professional. We can tell you who to ask; we cannot answer for them.
What should be on paper before the summer.
The date, the number of guests, the rate of 120–150 € per guest, what is included and what is not, the times of the day, who supplies what, and who to call on the morning of the wedding. If it was agreed on the phone, it should end up in a message or a document.
The quote and the confirmation of the date are the two pieces that matter. With those in hand, the rest of the plan — the flowers, the music, the seating — has something solid to sit on.
