Practical and legal notes:

First of all, you can choose whether to celebrate a religious wedding with civil and legal validity, or a religious wedding, without civil validity.
In both cases the ceremony will take place in the church and will consist of the wedding Mass. Therefore:

1. If you are not yet married and want your marriage to be civilly valid in Italy and in your country, you will have to apply for a religious marriage at civil validity. The Catholic priest will perform both ceremonies. Many people believe that this option is not possible and that the couple must necessarily be married civilly/legally, but that is absolutely not true. We are one of the few agencies in Italy that can guarantee you this possibility as well.
2. If you are already married in your country or are interested in a marriage without legal validity, then your ceremony, celebrated in church by a Catholic priest, will be only religious. In this case, you will need to present a copy of the marriage certificate to the ecclesiastical authorities.

It is very important to know that, in order to celebrate a religious wedding, the groom or bride must have been baptized and confirmed. They need their certificate of Baptism, Communion and Confirmation.

We can also find, in case the couple wanted a ceremony in their native language, a Catholic priest who could celebrate it. The presence of an interpreter is not legally required.

For religious ceremonies with civil validity, it is recommended to start procedures in time, since it takes at least 6 months for religious authorities to approve legal documents. In addition, it is strongly suggested to arrive in Italy a few days before the wedding, to finish the bureaucratic procedures and allow the authorities to check the passports.
