Florence Wedding & Elopement FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Where are the best places for a wedding in Florence?

Florence is an open-air museum. The most iconic locations include Piazzale Michelangelo for panoramic views at sunrise, the Boboli Gardens for a regal green setting, and the historic streets around the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore). For a more private experience, many couples choose a terrace overlooking the Arno River or a villa in the nearby hills of Fiesole.

Do you offer Florence elopement videography?

Videography is available as an optional add-on.

Can we have a Florence elopement with guests?

Yes. Most packages allow a small number of guests, usually up to 2–4 people, depending on the specific location (e.g., a small garden terrace vs. a public square). This keeps the event intimate while still allowing close family and friends to join you for the ceremony and gelato afterwards!

Can we legally get married in Florence as foreigners?

Yes, foreigners can legally get married. We recommend discussing this directly with the vendor, as they can guide you through the process and connect you with the right contacts to assist with the legal marriage requirements. Many couples also choose a symbolic ceremony for a simpler and more stress-free process.

How much does it cost to elope in Florence?

Eloping in Florence typically begins around USD 3,000. Prices vary depending on the season, location, and inclusions for example, a simple photography tour vs. a comprehensive package including a vintage Vespa ride and garden ceremony. Each package can be tailored to your preferred budget and experience.

What is included in your Florence elopement or wedding packages?

Most Florence packages include half-day or full-day photography coverage (approx. 4 hours), assistance with timeline planning, and an online gallery of edited images. Unique packages often feature classic car or Vespa rentals and visits to authentic gelato spots. Couples can add services such as a symbolic celebrant, hair and makeup, and flowers.

Can we customize our elopement package in Florence?

Yes, the package can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Browse the available add-ons, and if you need something additional, just reach out to the vendor to discuss it.

What's the best time of year for a Florence elopement?

Florence is beautiful year-round, but Spring (April–May) and Autumn (September–October) offer the best weather and light. Summer (July–August) can be extremely hot and crowded. Winter offers a quieter, romantic atmosphere with Christmas lights, though days are shorter.

Can we have an elopement in Florence at sunrise or sunset?

Yes. Sunrise is the absolute best time for popular spots like the Duomo or Ponte Vecchio to avoid the crowds and capture the city in soft, empty light. Sunset is magical from Piazzale Michelangelo or San Miniato al Monte, watching the sun dip below the city skyline.

Do your Florence elopement packages include a ceremony officiant?

Our packages come with a symbolic ceremony, and an officiant or celebrant can be added if available. If it’s not shown in the add-ons, feel free to check directly with the vendor they can assist you.

How do we get around Florence on our wedding day?

Your photographer typically guides you on foot as the historic center is pedestrian-friendly. However, for a classic Italian touch, many couples hire a vintage Fiat 500 or a Vespa to travel between locations like the city center and the viewpoints in the hills.

How long does a Florence elopement typically last?

A typical elopement lasts about 4 hours, depending on the package. This allows enough time for a ceremony, a city walk to major landmarks, and a stop for coffee or wine.

What should we wear for our Florence elopement?

Florence involves walking on ancient cobblestones, so comfortable shoes or block heels are highly recommended. Style-wise, elegant and chic attire fits the Renaissance backdrop perfectly. In summer, light fabrics are essential, while a stylish coat is needed for winter elopements.

How far in advance should we book a Florence wedding package?

It's best to book as early as you can, typically 6–9 months in advance, especially if you plan to marry during the popular spring or autumn seasons. Once your preferred date is available, a deposit confirms your booking. Last-minute reservations can still be arranged if your plans are flexible, but any booking made under six weeks before the event will not qualify for the 21-day money-back policy.
