Planning a Jewish Wedding in Italy: How does it work?

After receiving your initial request, should we be able to help you, we will first go about understanding your needs and requirements.

Next, having established a clear vision of your expectations we start to give you venue recommendations. We supply materials and examples to help you imagine how beautiful your event could be in these locations.

You will also become aware of the costs, differences, advantages, and disadvantages of hosting your celebration in each of these potential venues.

Once you decide which is the perfect place and have verified its availability, we create a comprehensive budget outlining all the costs for you to have your Jewish wedding in this location.

At this point, we should have a venue that matches your needs, and a budget that we know works for you and covers all the necessary services for the duration of your festivities.

Do we need to visit Italy prior to our wedding?

If you have time to come to Italy, you can visit venues, do site inspections, and walk-throughs with your wedding planner.

You can also work with the caterer to define your personalized kosher dining experience, brainstorm the design and look of your celebration with our event designers and lighting experts, and even have hair and make-up trials.

Throughout this process, you will be accompanied by your planner. You will have an expert to guide you through the entire process step by step!

If you don’t have time to come to Italy fear not. Technology is our friend and we embrace it to help you clearly understand what we are talking about. This in turn makes decision-making easier for you.

We have many couples that are busy and unable to schedule time for a trip to Italy. In this case, we work closely together remotely and through video, calls, and file-sharing we get the job done!

Include the Traditions that you want on the day

Jewish weddings are full of symbolism and traditions. The entire ceremony is planned around these symbols and the order they happen. Work with us to guarantee that each important traditional moment of your Jewish wedding is planned and carried out perfectly. These are the moments such as:

  • The signing of the symbolic Jewish marriage contract or ketubah that outlines the groom's responsibilities to his bride.
  • The veiling of the bride or bedeken.
  • For the ceremony, you will likely require a chuppah beneath which the ceremony will take place. During the ceremony, you may decide to do the Sheva Brachot or Seven Blessings.
  • At the end of the ceremony, you will break the glass and exit to the cheers of Mazel Tov but you may then be required to respect the seclusion or Yichud.
