Florence Wedding Packages

Does Melissa Joan Hart's wedding have you thinking about a Florence ceremony of your own? Italy's marriage laws make it easy for foreigners to say "I Do" in beautiful Florence but the laws do include many steps, from notarizing papers to buying administrative stamps.

Many couples considering a Florence wedding opt for the services of a local wedding planner. Remember--your service will be in Italian so a wedding planner can serve not only to assist you with everything from paperwork to photos but also as a very important interpreter.

One company specializing in Florence weddings is Hello Florence. This company specializes in Florence and Tuscany and can help with everything from setting up wine tastings for your guests to reserving an authentic Tuscan farm house for the two of you.
