Florence is synonymous with the Renaissance. It was the birth place of Michelangelo, Dante and Donatello and is an incomparable city of the arts and the capital of Tuscany. No wonder it is one of the most beloved cities the world over.

In Florence all types of ceremonies are possible—Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Hindu, symbolic and civil. There are more restrictions than most elsewhere in Italy on churches where a Catholic ceremony may be celebrated. In addition the civil hall only celebrates weddings on limited days of the week and is one of the most expensive. With patience and flexibility we can work around these obstacles and find the right situation for you. 

While everyone knows that the center of Florence is a Renaissance masterpiece, few know that it is surrounded by hills studded with castles and villas of the Florentine nobility of yore. From their perch above Florence, they offer breathtaking views and provide a respite from the center of Florence which is hot and humid during the summer months. They allow for events spread throughout the ample gardens. It is also possible to have louder music and a dance band which would likely not be possible in the historic center of Florence. 

Florence has the added benefit of being only 90 minutes via high speed train from Rome making it relatively convenient for you and your guests to reach. Once in Florence it is easy to travel around Italy after the wedding. Most of historic Florence is accessible on foot and your guests can have a more independent experience as is possible in a city. The cuisine is hearty and delicious and the wines from the surrounding Tuscan countryside are among the world’s best.

Florence is also an excellent consideration for an off season or winter wedding since it is captivating year round. The center vaunts indoor palaces with frescoed ceilings and Renaissance architecture. An added benefit in the winter is that there are far fewer tourists and, in December, it is all decked out for Christmas. Florence is the right choice all year round.
