If you're planning a destination wedding, why not consider one of the most romantic places on earth. Italy was the backdrop for the timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet, and its beauty, culture and lush landscapes are just some of the reasons this charming country could be the perfect place for your big day.
You’ll have your pick of historic villas, extravagant castles, luxury hotels or even beach ceremonies. So if you want a truly unforgettable day, surrounded by all the wonder and romance this dreamy nation has to offer, Italy could be the right choice for you and your partner.
But if you’re still undecided, we’re here to help!
Many couples choose wedding in Italy for following reasons:
You will for sure have a sunny wedding day
For the most part, Italy has beautiful weather. The summers are hot and dry, and during the spring and autumn, you’ll also be treated to mild temperatures and blue skies. You could even opt for a winter wedding if that’s more you’re style, cozy up inside one of Italy’s many beautiful Alpine hotels and your pictures will still be complete with crisp and clear blue skies.
Italian world famous food and wine
It is very hard to find a bad caterer in Italy as long as you are looking at professional vendors, the Italian food is just famously good, fresh and regional. The catering menu can be a very simple and budget friendly menu, and yet from our experience the guests can not stop talking about the 6m long table of cheeses and prosciutto, fritti (fried vegetable bags that were not oily at all), as well as all the tasty Aperol Spritz and Prosecco that were served with the Aperitivo (cocktail hour). For dinner usually you will offer a 3-course meal with risotto, pasta and steak/fish, which will be the best wedding food you and your guests had. With the amazing caterers that AjaWeddings wedding planners work with, it is guaranteed that the food will be served at same time for all guests, service will be outstanding and every guest could get seconds if needed. It is usually all included in the price.
Traditional Italian cake - Millefoglie
This is a bang on Italian weddings! Millefoglie cake is so fresh and light, and it is "made" by the newlyweds in a cooking show, which gives the guests a bit of amusement and made everyone excited for the cake. When guests have to travel to your wedding, they expect something different and specific to that area, some reason why you chose to marry in that place and not at home, and Italians definitely delivered with the cake and show cooking, among other things!
Beautiful natural scenery
You will be surrounded by kilometers of wine yards and just coming to the location is already an experience for the guests. Other than Lake Garda and of course Lake Como, Italy has so many beautiful locations to offer, from stunning landscapes and rolling hills, to A-list beaches in the south for that added WOW factor. Write to us your wishes and we will make sure to find a stunning venue for your destination wedding in Italy!

Honeymoon
You can have an awesome, romantic, and memorable honeymoon without even having to leave Italy, no matter your personal style, interest, budget and the type of activities you prefer.
If you want a honeymoon where you do nothing but lie down on a beach, then you can head to Sicily. Want to tan and relax on gorgeous boat cruises, then go to the Amalfi coast. More into hike and nature? Then the Valpolicella and Italian Alps are for you. Do you feel like having a road trip in charming villages? Head to Tuscany. The one thing you will surely have anywhere you decide to spend your honeymoon in Italy is picturesque and romantic sceneries. And food. Sorry, but yes, we’re not over Italian food!
Quality time with your loved ones and a holiday for every guest
Almost all the guests will make a point to stay in the area as well and enjoy couple days indulging in wine and food that Italy is so famous for, swimming, sunbathing and sightseeing. Destination weddings bring you closer to your family and friends because they allow for more time spent together in the anticipation of the event, or after the weddings where you can all daydream and tell stories from the wedding. Let us organize a spa day, cooking class or a wine tour for your and your close ones in the days before the wedding. So much fun!
Budget
It is not a romantic topic but yet so important for all our couples, especially in today's time. Budgeting for destination wedding in Italy can get you much more bang for your buck, compared to Germany. Many Italian wedding venues are also a winery, so you can take their wines to drink throughout wedding day. They are amazing (fresh and tasty) and each bottle of white wine cost only couple EUR. This is an unbeatable price.
