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.

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.

I feel very lucky to find Jules as our 20th anniversary celebration photographer. Before the photo shooting day, we had many email communications and he was willing to reschedule if it was raining on the photo shooting day.( but thank God, the weather was good!)
We spent one hour in Pienza and one hour in Tuscany countryside. In order to capture the best light and sunset( it could disappear under the clouds in a moment), Jules gave us adventurous rides between the photo shooting scenes! It was a memorable experience 🙂
He sent us the link to access the photos about 2 weeks. (I was expecting to receive it about a month!) His photos are amazing and both my husband and I are very satisfied with his professional work!

As a bride, you worry about EVERYTHING that involves your wedding, even things not in your control, like the weather. The ONLY thing I never had to worry about was my photographer, Jules.
He was absolutely amazing to work with before the wedding, during and after. He was always professional, responsive to my emails and organized.
My husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, so we were a little nervous on how the photos would turn out, but we should’ve know that Jules captured our wedding day perfectly.
The photos are absolutely lovely and brilliant-they are pieces of art that I hang in my house. I would 100% recommend Jules, he is worth it.

First of all, thank you Jules for making our wedding weekend so special. Chisato and I had the pleasure of having Jules photograph our engagement photos, wedding lunch and wedding day – each day was amazing.
He made us feel totally comfortable with his great sense of humor, which led to beautiful photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Jules’ organization allowed us to capture all of the photos we wanted to get and still maximize our time enjoying the events.
The candids that he was able to take are magnificent and make us feel like we are back at the party. Jules is an amazing wedding photographer that I can’t recommend highly enough.

Jules handled our photography in Florence for our wedding. The photos came out PERFECT and more than we could imagine!!!! We worked with him prior to the wedding from the USA via email and zoom and everything went off great!!! The only thing I would have done differently was to hire his wife also as a wedding planner. I thought it was going to be easier and it would have saved me a few grey hairs!!!
Don’t think twice about hiring Jules – everyone I spoke to kept asking “How did you find Jules? He is the best”
THANKS A MILLION Jules!!!

Jules Bower is the quintessential wedding photographer! He put us at immediate ease with his hawkish attention to detail and depth of knowledge and experience. He is a perfectionist (like me) so nothing less will do.
As a professional in the creative industries, I worried that I might have to direct or make suggestions. Not so with Jules! He has laser focus and a superb eye, finding the best light, the perfect locations and the right moments.
We were able to completely relax and enjoy each other while he and his top-notch team took care of every last detail. The result? A collection of photos that literally made us gasp. Friends and family can’t stop gushing. I consider our wedding day photos important enough to last a lifetime, so I’m so ecstatic we put them in his talented hands.
Incredibly fast turnaround time, seamless communication and customer service and professionalism. Even though Jules is highly sought-after around the world, he made time to fly in from another country to capture our special day.
And the results could not be more spectacular. Trust Jules with your photos, and let him lead… you’ll be so happy you did.
