Italy lives on weddings from abroad: Lake Como, Tuscany, the Amalfi coast. Agencies here spend much of their time on foreign couples’ paperwork, which must be translated and legalised before the ceremony.
51 listed agencies across 26 cities, each checked before publication.
Elena works on both sides of the border, from Ticino to Lake Como. She handles the Italian paperwork for Swiss couples — not a small thing.
Giulia plans on the Amalfi coast, where almost everything comes down to logistics: narrow roads, boats, staircases. She builds access plans guest by guest.
Beatrice has been marrying couples in Tuscany for fifteen years, mostly from northern Europe and the US. She works with a small set of estates she knows inside out.
Sara works with the lake’s historic villas. She knows exactly which jetty takes which boat, and when the light hits each terrace.

Yes, with no residency requirement at all — and no banns when both spouses are non-resident foreigners. With Portugal, the most workable destination here. One major caveat: Italian law provides no same-sex marriage.
The nulla osta is the number-one blocker: some consulates issue it slowly, condition it on papers obtainable only at home, or refuse. And a private villa may host a civil marriage only if the commune has formally designated it as a civil-registry venue — check villa by villa.
No. Italian law provides no same-sex marriage, but a civil union (law 76/2016), which is legally distinct. Whether your own country recognises it as a marriage is a question for a lawyer there.
General information, taken from the official sources below. These rules apply commune by commune and do change: have them confirmed by the civil registry of the place you will marry before booking anything. We are not lawyers.
