1. La Serenata

Perhaps not for everyone, this theatrical event takes place the night before the wedding when the groom arranges a serenade under the window of his bride. While others may know, it is kept a secret from the bride and she is awakened by the sound of musicians and her groom singing downstairs. Usually involving fun, music, a buffet, and a festive atmosphere, it is a uniquely Italian and somewhat Romeo and Juliet-esque tradition.

Have you thought about getting married in Italy? How about tying the knot in a little church in a pretty historic town or on a perfect beach with all of your loved ones or at some special place that features in your love story – maybe where you met or had your first vacation or where your parents are from? There are plenty of reasons to choose Italy for your destination wedding – pretty locations, a pre-made honeymoon, great food and wine, and much more besides.

1. Contact your home country’s consulate in Italy.

This will be useful as a support system and a reliable source of specific information to do with your chosen destination. They can help you start the process and preparation for a wedding, beginning with organising paperwork like the atto notorio, which is the document required for US and Australian Citizens to get married in Italy.
