Celebrating the wedding on the beach

Unlike other foreign countries where you can celebrate the wedding in a civil ceremony on the beach with a registrar or celebrant chosen by the couple, in Italy the wedding is valid only if the ceremony takes place in locations designated by the city or at the so-called "municipal houses". The beach, unless otherwise authorized by the municipality itself, can not be an ideal location to celebrate the formal ceremony, but eventually to repeat the promises in private with their relatives and friends, without any legal validity.

How to set up the wedding on the beach

The bathing establishments are equipped to a standard of excellent quality that allow you to set up the event on the beach or on verandas, very useful in case of bad weather, or balconies facing the sea or by the pool.
