-- How would you like to get married in Italy, but don't know where to start?

So let's give you a bunch of tips and show you where to start.

Italy is in the collective dream of couples all over the world, with all the wonderful landscapes that we find from north to south across the country, the gastronomy they offer and all its art and history, it's really tempting. Our role, as an advisor, must be the first to be hired by the interested couple. Many think they can work it out on their own, as they want a simple marriage. But it is worth remembering that a wedding in another country and in another language requires a different organization. The laws and customs around here are different. Have you ever imagined signing a contract, or analyzing different proposals translating everything by Google translator??? Please don't take that risk. We already know about the Italian market and all its particularities, not to mention the list of suppliers at our disposal.

When we talk about a destination Wedding in Italy, choosing a wedding destination requires analyzing several issues that go beyond choosing a beautiful setting. Among the many factors, we have to think about all the logistics involved in holding a party in this desired space, availability of the desired suppliers, the economic organization for their payment, documentation, giving time for guests to be able to organize themselves for a trip of this type. .. Therefore, as time for organizing a wedding, we suggest starting at least 12 months before the date so that everything happens without a headache.

-- Have you ever stopped to think about this economic issue?

In Brazil we are used to breaking everything down, this is a very common practice.

Here in Italy it's not quite like that, of course higher amounts are also payable in installments, but unfortunately not as often as we would like. So what we suggest to our fiancés is that they already have a budget available when we start dealing with suppliers, if not, we start the organization months in advance and in the meantime the couple can quietly capitalize on this value.

When we decide to "close" with one of them, normally 30% of the total amount is paid upon signing the contract and everything else is paid in installments.

Now that we've talked a little about the economic part, we also have to talk about the bureaucratic part.
