Notes on Weddings in This Region
If you are not having a church wedding and since the mayors in Tuscany will not offer ceremonies outside of the town-hall, we suggest you have a very informal, but legal, procedure at the local town-hall with just the couple, Slow Dreams staff, and local witnesses present. We can you drive there.
The town-hall process would then be followed by an outdoor ceremony (symbolic civil or religious) with full dress and guests present with officiate (choice below in Table). This approach allows a total focus on the outdoor ceremony - and saves the hassle of transporting guest around various locations. This approach is especially desirable for venues where the couple and guests are staying. It makes for a more relaxed wedding in a beautiful setting.
Note: we have venues in other areas of Italy where the mayors will offer legal outdoor ceremonies at the venue of your choice. Contact Us.
