Personal ceremonies in any place and any style, from humanist to interfaith and LGBTQ+, written around your story.
Symbolic ceremonies
Your Wedding Ceremony in Tuscany
We plan and coordinate your ceremony. Your celebrant, or officiant, comes from Italian Wedding Celebrants, the ceremony specialists of our group.
How it works
Planning and ceremony,
one team.
When we plan your wedding, the ceremony is part of the plan from the very start: the right spot, the timing with the photographer and the aperitivo, the music, the chairs, the sound system, some shade on a hot afternoon. We coordinate all of it.
The ceremony itself is in the hands of Italian Wedding Celebrants, the specialists of our group. Their celebrants (or officiants, as most couples from the US call them) write the ceremony with you, in your languages, and lead it on the day.

Questions, answered
Celebrants
and officiants.
Do you provide the celebrant?
Yes: through Italian Wedding Celebrants, our sister team, and we coordinate the ceremony with everything else on your wedding day.
Celebrant or officiant: what's the difference?
It's the same role. "Officiant" is the word most used in the US, "celebrant" in the UK, Ireland and Australia: in both cases it's the person who writes the ceremony with you and leads it.
In which languages can the ceremony be?
Our celebrants lead ceremonies in Italian, English, German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, also bilingual. For other languages, such as Dutch, we work with partner celebrants or interpreters.
Is a symbolic ceremony legally binding?
Not on its own. Many couples sign the legal part at home, or marry at a town hall in Italy, and we help with the documents.
Can we book only the celebrant?
Yes, directly with Italian Wedding Celebrants, even if you don't need a planner.
