Getting married in a registry office but…..in a church

In a hilltop village in the Florentine chianti area there is a deconsacrated church full of history. A cycle of frescoes dated back XII century by Spinello Aretino and other pupils is a perfect frame for you civil wedding with a church athmosphere.

The comune of Bagno a Ripolid ecided to give this opportunity to those who need to marry in a civil way but they don’t want to loose the magic of a religiuos building.

The price is not so cheap but believe me it is worth every penny: romantic, secluded, full of art and history and moreover with your money you contribute to the constant restoration of this late church.

Snow in Florence

We have been into the thoughest week edn here in Florence. they predicted only 5 cm of snow instead we had 25! We are not used to it but we have to start as because this is the third consecutive year we have snow.

I like the snow although now that it nicer to have it on the mountain. While I was looking the snow falling down I thought about the wedding on December 18th outside Florence on a church on the top of a hill. One of my clients had to go there to listen to the musicians but of course, they couldn’t manage.

I thought about the stress of the bride, the groom, the mothers, the entire family, friends. I dont think that they thought about romanticism in that occasion!

Hiring a wedding planner: how does it work?

If you especially live abroad and you fancy getting married in Italy you have to come up with few questions. Maybe you just write a few emails to some web sites you have visited or maybe you just pick up one that you like and go on with that agency, possible. But if you are already confused on what to ask, what you need and so on, before wtiting that email you should think before, what you want.

From my experience only few times I red an email where the bride or the groom were extremely confident in WHAT they were looking for.

First of all, if you live aborad and you wnat to merry in Italy, you certainly know that the budget will be lower and maybe you can afford it. Secondly, you need to make it clear on how many people (honestly) might come and third the kind of wedding you want to organize it together with the wedding planner and last but not least, don’t be afraid or shy to ask the fee.

I.E. : I just want this and that, my budget is approx XY, I would like you to help with  XYCV, blah blah: how much is it your fee? And so on!

**********************************************

I found out that couples think that a wedding planner works for free but don’t trust to much with whom it say, I work for free. No one works for free, this is not a hobby, so that’s why you should be very tranquil in asking that.

Another option would be hiring a wedding planner only for consultation and advises and the fee can be just few hundreds of euros (very few in my case) or another aspect which I also like is to be hired only for the wedding day! You do everything: you organize all your vendors, your logistics,  but then you want a person to be there at your wedding. Stress free!

Organize a wedding in 5 months

If you think that it is too late, you are wrong! Either if you decide to get married in the Sala Rossa of palazzo vecchio (you can book the room only six months prior your wedding date) or have just a symbolic ceremony or renew your vows you can be certainly sure that you are in time to do everything. You must have, on the other hand, a flexible mind but as I did it,  I can assure you that nothing is left behind.
