Civil Ceremonies in Florence are held in the City Hall of Florence, which is the Palazzo Vecchio (1322) located in one of the Main squares, Piazza Signoria. The Ceremony is held in the Sala Rossa, decorated in a rich Renaissance style. Ceremonies may also be held in the city halls of other Tuscan towns. A translator will be provided.
Religious Ceremonies may be held in many of the churches in Florence and the surrounding countryside. From Medieval to Renaissance churches, large or small, we will find the perfect church for you. We will help you contact an English-speaking priest, so that you may speak to him as often as you like before the ceremony to get to know each other before your wedding. Ceremonies may also be held at a Protestant church, a synagogue or outdoors in the countryside, etc. depending on your religion.
