Just wondering about experiences of anyone who has been married or renewed their vows in Venice, since that is our plan.

Thanks!

Statia,

To answer the wonderful question you posted in your header "Anyone been married in Venice?"

Yes, including many Venitians.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for that most helpful insight, Father! Wow, who would've thought?

Ok...any TOURISTS who planned their wedding from elsewhere?

Now, go say four Hail Mary's, Father. You've been a very naughty boy.

Topping for the weekday crowd.

There have been other threads on getting married in Italy. I have copied suggestions for websites from those threads and repeat them below, they might be a good start:

initaly.com - Getting Married in Italy.
www.weddings-in-italy.net
www.customitaly.com.

http://travel.state.gov/marriage.html - General comments on the topic of US citizens marrying abroad from the State Dept (its validity, requirements, etc)

Also run your own search here.

Thanks for the tips, Sue.

My husband and I were not married in Venice but we were married in Florence Italy. In addition to the other two sites I reccommend www.italyweddings.com. I don't know if our wedding coordinator does anything farther north but he was an invaluable asset in planning our wedding. It was an amazing experience. Congratulations and good luck planning your wedding.

Thanks LBB. We luckily found a fabulous consultant and now have everything booked.
