Italy is a beautiful country with so many options for your elope wedding ceremony. The best time to plan your elope wedding can vary depending on your preferences. Generally, the best time to visit Italy is spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October). During these months, the temperature is pleasant and there is very little rain.
Summer months can be not only hot but also crowded with tourists. Winters in northern Italy are cold and wet, somewhat milder south of Rome. If you decide to get married in Italy during a summer month, we highly recommend hiring us so we can suggest the most intimate locations away from the tourist crowds.
There are so many wonderful places to get married in Italy. We’d like to introduce you to some of the best locations for your elopement wedding in Italy to give you an idea of what your wedding day could look like. Keep in mind that this list represents just a small fraction of the possibilities for planning your wedding. To put it in perspective, Italy has 20 regions, divided into 93 provinces, and further subdivided into 8,000 cities, towns, or villages. There are so many options, and they are all unique!
Italy offers both incredible natural and urban landscapes: Florence and Venice or Turin for an intimate and super romantic city elopement, while Tuscany or Piedmont offer a more nature-oriented destination. Lake Como or Lake Maggiore are definitely among the most beautiful places to celebrate your elopement wedding.
Here is a list of the best places for an intimate ceremony in Italy:
Venice
In northern Italy you’ll find the beautiful city of Venice. Surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, Venice consists of more than 100 small islands connected by canals. Although this place can be very touristy, there are many little nooks and crannies to appreciate and where you can retreat together. A roaming trip to Venice is also a great option for couples who want to explore Italian culture and natural landscapes.
Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is the perfect destination for elopement weddings and honeymoons. If you’re thinking of eloping to Italy, you should definitely consider planning your trip here. The coastal road between the towns is the most beautiful road you’ll ever see. You’ll drive through stunning, colorful villages perched on the cliffs overlooking the coast. While this area can be touristy, you can still plan a romantic getaway on a private terrace.
Rom
If you’re planning your wedding in an Italian city, then Rome is the perfect choice. Rome is the ideal destination for an elopement wedding for couples who appreciate art, culture, and history. The lack of coastal or mountain views is easily compensated for by the impressive vistas of ancient architecture and ruins.
Tuscany
Italy offers both incredible natural and urban landscapes: Florence and Venice or Turin for an intimate and super romantic city elopement, while Tuscany or Piedmont offer a more nature-oriented destination. Lake Como or Lake Maggiore are definitely among the most beautiful places to celebrate your elopement wedding.
Cinque Terre
If you’re looking for a getaway in Italy that’s not as crowded as the Amalfi Coast, then we recommend the Cinque Terre. The name means five towns, which are centuries old. These colorful seaside villages overlook the coast and are a dream. Enjoy the stunning views, small restaurants, ports, and vineyards here.
Comer See
Lake Como, a hidden gem of nature in the heart of Italy, is a perfect setting for intimate and romantic ceremonies for just the two of you or with a small group of your closest friends and family. With its romantic corners, Lake Como in Italy is an incredible escape. Not many places in the world truly seem like they belong in a fairytale land, and Lake Como is certainly one of them. Romantic lakeside spots with crystal-clear water create a breathtaking wedding location.
