Apulian Ceremonies
Religious Ceremonies
Religious ceremonies can only take place in consecrated spaces, such as a church or a sanctified private chapel. To have a religious wedding, various documents, including Baptism and Confirmation certificates, need to be presented. The ceremony typically lasts about an hour and can be conducted in Italian, with translation by an interpreter, or by a priest fluent in another language.
Symbolic Ceremonies
Personalizing Your Symbolic Celebration. A symbolic ceremony is the simplest solution for couples who don't have the time to prepare all the required documents or for those who have already married in their home country and want to celebrate in Puglia with friends. What makes symbolic ceremonies intriguing is their flexibility and personalization: they can be held nearly anywhere and can be entirely customized. Couples can opt for a classic celebration with candles, sand, or stones. They can also have a friend or relative officiate the wedding, or Sara D'Errico can provide a professional Celebrant to make your ceremony truly moving.
Civil Ceremonies
Crafting Memorable Civil Ceremonies According to Italian law, civil ceremonies can only be conducted within an accredited Casa Comunale (Town Hall). Today, there is a wide selection of historically and artistically significant or picturesque sites where civil ceremonies can be held. It's mandatory for the Mayor of the municipality where you choose to get married, or a delegated officiant, to read Articles 143, 144, and 147 of the Civil Code. However, you can personalize the ceremony with ring exchanges, readings, poems, and music.
