Weddings in Italy 's Best Kept Secret  -  The Most Beautiful Region and The  Least Restrictions in Italy

Beyond its beauty and history, and unlike the other regions of Italy, the mayors in these regions offer wedding in Italy ceremonies at YOUR choice of venues -   all with literally brilliant blue blue seas and mountain views, in a region with 3000 years of Roman & Greek History, and, now lost in most of Italy, authentic Italian life.  

Also, there is no minimum stay requirements in this region. Our minister also offers non-Catholic religious weddings Italy at any of our outdoor wedding venues. In addition to many historic and beautiful Catholic churches, we offer church weddings for non-Catholics. 

We will shortly be adding a new set of venues for Weddings in Rome  and Weddings in Apulia (Puglia) .

See All Wedding Prices & Costs

Unlike almost all  other Italian wedding sites, this site details ALL costs for Weddings Italy - including detailed reception menus for each venue, accommodations, photography, music, flowers, and fees.  Also see local wedding subsidies funded by local tourist office.

Easier To Get To  -  Two International Airports

This area, unlike areas such as the Amalfi, has excellent motorway (A3) and excellent inexpensive rail service (Eurostar, Intercity), and is served by two airports -  Naples (many airlines including EasyJet) and Lamezia Terme (Ryan Air from Stansted, London) airports.  The train service and motorway connects to Naples, Rome, Florence, Sicily,  and all major Italian cities and regions.

State Subsidy for  Destination Italian Weddings in This Region

See Italy Weddings Subsidy

As well as offering much better value than most regions of Italy amidst world-class beauty, this region subsidizes ALL our foreign weddings as part of their tourism marketing efforts.   See special offers for destination Italian weddings. 

Last Minute Italy Weddings  - Elope to Italy

See details for a  last minute Wedding in Italy

We need only  a few days  (week days) notice to arrange legal civil weddings - so eloping to Italy or last minute weddings to Italy are quick and easy.  

We Do Not Subcontract The Management of  Our  Italy Weddings

We only arrange weddings where we have staff located - as such, unlike many Weddings Italy companies, we NEVER subcontract the planning nor management of our weddings.  We will meet you when you arrive at your hotel. For civil and non-Catholic weddings, we will escort you to the town-hall to finalize paperwork;  and, we will be discreetly with you throughout your wedding day.

 

Flexible Contracts for Your Wedding in Italy

Planning a destination wedding in Italy for the distant future introduces uncertainty such as "How many of my guests will actually come?".  Recognizing this,  Slow Dreams' contracts allow very significant change right up until a minimum of 45 days before the wedding; thus, removing most of this uncertainty.

Extraordinary Italian Weddings in An Extraordinary Region

Weddings Italy  -  The Region

WHY CHOOSE THIS REGION FOR ITALY WEDDINGS?

Italy's Best Kept Secret

The beauty of the region stops you in your tracks.   We know this for a fact.  Two of Slow Dreams managing partners, on their annual vacation to Italy,  took the wrong exit on the A3 and ended up on the Coast of Maratea.   They stopped the car.  Gazed in awe.   Formed Slow Dreams so they could stay in the area.

You Choose YOUR Venue

Unlike most of Italy, weddings in this region are NOT restricted to town-halls & churches. The local mayors & ministers will conduct ceremonies at the venue of your choice - including outdoor venues such as beaches, gardens, cliff-tops, boats, vineyards, etc.

We offer an astonishing choice of  types of venues

Italy Weddings - Short Minimum Stay Requirements 

Unlike the 6 to 10 day stay required for most Italy weddings.  It requires a one or two week-night stay so we can process the final paperwork.  The number of nights depends on the town.   For a relaxed stay, we recommend at least a three night .

Easy Wedding in Italy Approval for EU Citizens 

EU citizens get Italy Wedding approval via mail, no need to visit Italy before the wedding trip.

Elope to Italy -  Last Minute Weddings Italy

A few towns in this region allow US citizens to elope to Italy at the last minutes.  See last minute approval for Italy Weddings.   We have organized Italy weddings with just a few days notice: 

Email from Michael Criswell, married: Sapri 2nd September, 2011

"Could not have been better.  Lucia is amazing.  I am still baffled how you all made this happen in 36 hours.  We appreciate all your help and if you all ever need any references, especially for someone in our situation, let me know.  I'd be happy to talk to them or send them an email.  Sapri is fabulous.  We are already planning a trip back to Italy in May and will definitely go back." 

 

Non-Catholic  Church Weddings in Italy 

The local bishop allows the use of a wonderful hill-top ancient church with amazing sea-views for non-Catholic religious weddings.  See  Protestant and non-Catholic  weddings in Italy.

Fabulous Weather

This region has perfect weather for Italian weddings  - it is blessed with the sun.  In addition, it does not suffer from the fog and smog quite prevalent in northern Italy.

Weddings in Italy That Are Convenient to Get To

Although a bit further south than the Amalfi Coast, the coast of Maratea & the Cilento  is much quicker and easier to get to  -  it has wonderful motorway/expressway access and first class and inexpensive train services.  Maximizing ease of access for Weddings Italy, the area has three international airports (Naples, Lamezia Terme and Salerno) served by Ryan Air, EasyJet, Aerlingus,  BA,  BMI, Eurofly (NYC-JFK),   Air One (London City)  and many international airlines.  We offer transfer services (car, mini-bus, coach) to all of our wedding venues.  Low cost high-speed trains (Eurostar, Intercity)  run from Naples, Rome, Florence, Pisa,  Lamezia, Sicily, Milan, etc, making the transport to your Italy wedding extremely convenient  - Italian trains are still inexpensive and run often.

Wee Hour Wedding Receptions

Unlike most of Italy, many of our reception Italian wedding venues stay open 'til the "wee hours". 

A Region Made for Relaxed Weddings - Be They Luxury or Lower Cost

Much of Italy can be stressful, especially for weddings;  however, check-out Lisa & Matt on their bicycle.
