Italy Wedding Venues and Locations
Selecting the perfect Italy wedding venue can be time-consuming. There are so many opulent villas, luxury hotels, wineries, castles, country houses, and other authentic Italian locations. So narrowing down the list to just the best wedding venues in Italy can be daunting.
I am a professional wedding photographer with over 20 years of experience, and my wife is a leading Italian wedding planner. For years, we have been helping couples get married in Italy, and finding the right location is the first step.
You will find this website a useful point of reference, and you will be able to view many of the best wedding venues in Italy by browsing the wedding galleries.
The natural beauty of Italy is second-to-none. From the sun-kissed terraces overlooking the Amalfi coast to the historic cityscapes of Florence, the Dolce Vita of Rome, the glamorous lifestyle of Lake Como, and the romance of Venice. So, how on earth do you choose one single destination?
Popular Italian Wedding Destinations
If you are not familiar with Italy then here are some highly sought after locations with unbelievable Italy wedding venues:
- Tuscany Wedding: My personal favorite. Immerse yourselves in pristine surroundings and savor the mouth-watering food and wine.
- Venice Wedding: Lose yourself in the charm and romance of this ancient city on the water.
- Florence Wedding: History and art surround you in this vibrant and exciting city. Let the art, architecture, and fashion inspire you.
- Amalfi Coast Wedding: Tricky to get to, but once you arrive, you can swoon over the jaw-dropping panoramas and delicious seafood.
- Lake Como Wedding: Elegant historical lake villas are ideal for refined weddings where you and your guests will feel like celebrities.
Tips For Choosing The Ideal Location
When selecting an Italy wedding venue, you should consider renting exclusively. Are you happy to have people that are not part of your wedding party wandering around?
Next, as you choose a wedding venue, check if there are restrictions and specific Italian laws. Some places make you turn down the music at midnight as they may have neighbors to consider.
Of course, a private venue will give you more freedom as well as exclusivity. You will likely have fewer restrictions, which means that you and your guests can have the perfect wedding experience without the need to worry about unwanted interruptions or limitations.
As you look for the perfect wedding venue, you and your wedding planner should bear in mind the type of ceremony that you desire. Few places allow for a civil wedding service on-site, while almost all allow symbolic ceremonies.

5 star rating for a perfect experience. While looking for a photographer for the one moment in our life that we could not afford to make a mistake with we must have researched dozens upon dozens of folks before we stumbled across Jules.
His work just stood out among the rest. Learning that he also traveled nearly everywhere pretty much sealed the deal for us. His style was just perfect for a timeless look that we’ll surely appreciate forever.
The entire experience working with Jules was like being in a dream. We felt at ease and like the stars of our own movie. Jules is a perfectionist, therefore his drive for the perfect moments and photographic backdrops relieved us from any unnecessary pressure or stress. We were taken by surprise at how quickly he had the photos link ready for download.
The quality was nothing less than amazing, High definition with beautiful clarity and color. The details in the edits are what make the difference and after all was said and done we are especially grateful for his artistic and creative ways.
It can’t be easy for a photographer to do their job while so many moving parts are at work in an event and with the subjects all wanting to move in their own direction.
I thank Jules for his patience and for keeping us all on track for the perfect pictures. I can’t thank you enough. – Jovan Ibarra

What an incredible experience it was working with Jules! From the moment we started exploring a destination wedding in Italy, we were mesmerized with the quality and the beauty that Jules was able to capture at the weddings he worked. The pictures were so vivid that it was like we were actually at these weddings, and it completely sold us on our upcoming Tuscany destination wedding.
We had the pleasure to meet Jules in Tuscany recently and he shot our engagement photos – which we are obsessed with and will cherish forever! Jules did such an amazing job, and we will never forget that amazing amazing day.
From the beginning when we were trading emails ahead of our trip to Italy to the day we finally met, Jules’ professionalism and good-hearted nature put us at ease. Jules was also an absolutely incredible guide – not only getting us to relax and savor in the moment to achieve some breathtaking photos – but also navigating the stunning landscapes and charming towns of Tuscany, Jules was extremely good at adapting on the fly based on weather, available sunlight, shots we enjoyed, etc. and we could not be any happier with how everything turned out!
We had some tricky weather and the sun was touch-and-go, but Jules managed it perfectly and the resulting photos are so stunning that words cannot fully express how happy we are about how they turned out! Jules is a magician!
Jules’ keen eye and attention for details, coupled with his good-hearted nature made the shoot so memorable. Not only did we receive the most stunning photos of ourselves, but we had a blast doing it! It was an absolute pleasure not only meeting, but also getting to work with someone whose work we admired from afar, and someone who was such a pivotal part in our deciding on our dream Italian wedding. Now Jules is not only someone whose work we admire, but also someone we can call a friend! Thank you so much Jules for everything, we are beyond grateful!!
