Catholic Wedding
Needless to say, the most beautiful and ancient churches of the world are located in Italy.
YOUR CATHOLIC WEDDING CEREMONY IN ITALY WILL TAKE PLACE IN A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH NEAR THE VENUE YOU HAVE CHOSEN FOR THE WEDDING PARTY.
If the Parish Priest can only speak Italian, DAMA Wedding will suggest someone who can celebrate it in your own language. Specific Catholic requirements have to be met in order to celebrate a Catholic wedding in Italy: You will have to provide a permission from your Parish Bishop and attend Pre-Cana classes as well as send all certificates of baptism and confirmation. If you have been divorced but the wedding has not officially been annulled, you cannot marry in a Catholic church. Documents have to be issued and dated within 6 months of the planned date of the marriage. Catholic weddings in Italy are legally binding. Depending on your country of origin, the procedure for the legalization, may differ.
Jewish Wedding
They can take place in a Synagogue or in one of the many beautiful Italian locations with breathtaking views, secret gardens or impressive venues like one of the stunning luxury castles or villas all over Italy
The above mentioned are all Orthodox communities and their specific requirements are the same as those for your own country. Your Rabbi will have to issue the required religious documents and send them to the Italian Rabbi. You can also make your own Rabbi celebrate the wedding in Italy. In this case the civil ceremony has to be performed in advance. This can take place either in Italy or in your own country. We will be delighted to help you find the best solution for you! We can also plan to serve a kosher meal or a “kosher-style” wedding menu at most locations. Please ask to your wedding planner for additional information about an Orthodox or non-Orthodox Jewish wedding.
Orthodox Synagogues are located in large Italian cities, such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and Trieste, where the largest and historically important Jewish communities live.

Italian civil weddings are celebrated by a public official in city halls or other venues which have been granted a license for ceremonies.

Hindu Wedding
The wedding is the most important ceremony in Hindu culture. Celebrations may vary according to local traditions in India: they are based on ancient rites and the marriage ritual can last for three or more days.
The peak of the entire ceremony is the Saptapadi or seven steps ritual, when bride and groom exchange seven promises that bind their lives together, forever. In Italy there are many elegant and prestigious wedding venues to rent: ancient castles and elegant villas with amazing gardens where to build your mandap decorated by expert floral designers. It is also possible to accommodate guests for a real fabulous wedding celebration. We can help you choose the best location and professionals for your breathtaking Hindu wedding in Italy.
