Why Italy is the Perfect Backdrop for Your Celebration of Love
Italy offers a breathtaking canvas for any love story, providing an unforgettable setting for a multi-day holiday with your closest friends and family. It is a country where every detail contributes to a legacy experience, crafted with elegance and authenticity at its heart.
Here are just a few of the reasons we believe in the magic of Italy:
- A Rich Tapestry of Culture and Beauty: It is a country where ancient history, artistic beauty, and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures converge, creating a backdrop that is both profound and joyful.
- Unforgettable, Iconic Landscapes: Imagine exchanging vows with the rolling hills of Tuscany as your witness, hosting a chic welcome dinner on a private terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast, or dancing the night away in a historic Puglian masseria.
- A Celebration of Life’s Pleasures: From world-renowned cuisine and wine to the warmth of its people, Italy offers a sensory experience that ensures your wedding feels like a true celebration of love and life.
- The Promise of “La Dolce Vita”: More than just a location, Italy offers a feeling—an immersion into “the sweet life.” It’s an opportunity to slow down, connect, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Welcoming and Inclusive Italian Wedding Venues
Finding a venue that is not only beautiful but also genuinely welcoming is paramount. Our deep, local relationships across Italy give us access to a curated portfolio of properties that share our commitment to inclusivity and world-class service.
As Sabrina always says, “The soul of a venue is its people.” We don’t just look for stunning architecture; we build relationships with venue owners and staff who welcome all couples with warmth, respect, and open arms.
Our vetting process ensures that from the moment you and your guests arrive, you feel celebrated and completely at ease.

Your Questions, Answered: Planning Your LGBTQ+ Wedding in Italy
Navigating the details of a destination wedding can feel complex, but we are here to provide clarity and confidence every step of the way.
Can LGBTQ+ couples legally get married in Italy?
This is an excellent and important question, as the legal landscape for international couples can be complex. For some couples, including many same-sex couples, Italy offers legally recognized civil unions (unione civile), which grant most of the same rights as marriage. For others, particularly for some members of the transgender and non-binary community, the legal pathways may differ.
This is precisely where our expertise becomes invaluable. You do not need to be an expert on Italian law, because we are experts at managing it. We provide clear, honest guidance on the available options.
Many of our couples, regardless of their legal options, choose to complete the legalities in their home country and host a beautiful, deeply personal symbolic ceremony in Italy. This allows for complete creative freedom and ensures the emotional heart of your wedding day is exactly as you envision it, free from any bureaucratic constraints.
What are the best places for an LGBTQ+ wedding in Italy?
From the iconic landscapes of Tuscany and Lake Como to the chic, vibrant coastlines of the Amalfi Coast and Puglia, Italy is full of welcoming regions. The “best” place is the one that speaks to your soul. We help you discover hidden gems and exclusive properties that align with your vision and guarantee a supportive environment.
How do we find LGBTQ-friendly vendors?
You don’t have to; that is our responsibility and our expertise. Every vendor we recommend, from photographers and floral designers to musicians and caterers, is part of our trusted, vetted network. They are not just exceptional at their craft; they are people who celebrate love in all its forms.
